10 Worst Things The Justice League Has Ever Done
9. Invaded A Country - Extreme Justice
Long before he was split open by Parasite, Captain Atom was heading up a Justice League of his own. Things were going pretty well, until they made one huge mistake.
See, once upon a time in the eighties and nineties, the Justice League became an international franchise. Like the McDonald's of super-hero teams, there were Justice Leagues in America, Europe, and even Antarctica. Captain Atom didn't feel like he quite fit in to any of these region-specific groups, so he took a leaf out of Rob Liefeld's book: he created his own team, one that would be more EDGY and AWESOME than all the other superhero team. And thus, EXTREME JUSTICE was born.
And boy, did they take things to the EXTREME. When they heard that the country of Bialya were manufacturing robot versions of a group of villains known as the Extremists, Extreme Justice took the only logical step: they invaded the entire country.
Captain Atom and his EXTREME pals destroyed the factories that made the robots, destroying them all entirely. It was only after this that they realised they weren't robots at all: they were human cyborgs, made from the ordinary civilians serving in the Bialyian army.
That's right: Extreme Justice had just mass-murdered a foreign country's troops, which was, frankly, not a good look. In fact, it was such a bad look that it led to the dissolution of every single branch of the Justice League.
Extreme, indeed.
