Now that you've finished watching the trailer, it's time to get started. 

10. Green Arrow

Green Arrow, real name Oliver Queen, doesn’t have any superpowers but his vast skills will be considered as such.  He’s a rich playboy who was left stranded on an island after an accident on a cruise ship. Doing anything to survive, he taught himself the art of archery and became knowledgeable with martial arts. When he returned to his home, Star City, he became the known vigilante hero, Green Arrow.  He will not be in the movie, but in the cartoon he joined the Justice League as their moral compass.

His skill sets are but not limited to:

• Archery
• Martial artist
• Unlimited wealth

9. Hawkgirl

Hawkgirl, real name Shiera Hall, is from the planet Thanagar. She came to Earth in search of a wanted criminal, after finishing her duty she wished to stay and make Earth her new home. She joined the Justice League soon after. She will not be in the movie even though she was a pivotal character in the popular cartoon.

Her powers include but are not limited to:

• Flight
• Superior strength
• Healing factor
• Weapons and combat expert

8. Cyborg

Cyborg is half human, half machine. During a freak accident, Victor Stone, a very smart star athlete was left mortally wounded. His father desperate to save his life, replaced many of his organs and body parts with machine parts, creating Cyborg.

His powers are but not limited to:

• Super strength

• High intellect
• Teleportation

7. Aquaman

Aquaman, real name Orin, is from the underwater city of Atlantis. At a young age he discovered his amazing powers and began to hone them, swearing to become the protector of Earth’s oceans.  Although he is the butt of many running jokes such as being the most useless hero, he is very powerful and his powers include but are not limited to:

• Super strength
• Control of sea life
• Ability to breathe underwater
• Exceptional swimming ability

6. Martian Manhunter

Martian Manhunter or J’onn J’onzz is an alien from Mars. His home was destroyed along with his people, making him a sole survivor. He later found refuge on Earth.  He is an original Justice League member who will not be appearing in the movie, being replaced by Cyborg.

He’s considered of the most powerful members of the Justice League. His powers are but not limited to:

5. Green Lantern

Hal Jordan is one of many Green Lanterns, but he is the first human brought into the Green Lantern Corps. One faithful day a dying Green Lantern crashed on planet Earth in his starship in the desert. The power ring around the alien Abin Sur, chose Hal as a replacement due to his courage. Hal inherited the power and with it all the secrets, becoming the Green Lantern.

He will not be in the movie, which is odd considering he is one of the original founding members of the Justice League.

• Durability

4. Wonder woman

Princess Diana or Wonder woman is from the island Themyscria on the planet Earth. The island is inhabited by a race of women free of mankind. She was created with clay by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and brought to life by the gods who also gifted her with superhuman powers.

Her powers are but not limited to:

• Super Strength
• Invulnerability
• Flight
• Healing factor
• Super agility

3. Flash

The Flash or just Flash for short is a scientist who goes by the name Barry Allen. Possibly the fastest man alive, although he and Superman constantly fight for that title, so far Flash is in the lead. One night a freak accident occurs and chemicals spill all over Allen, after that night he discovered is new found powers. His witty and comedic natures go hand and hand with his speed, which make him a fun and exciting character. 

His powers are:

• Super speed
• Super agility

2. Batman

It was a hard tie between Batman and Superman for first, although in second place he’s just as good.

Bruce Wayne’s tragic story begins when he was a child. After his parents took him to the theater, a thief shot and killed them both in cold blood. He vowed to avenge his parents by stopping crime in the city of Gotham and that day Batman was born. Batman doesn’t have any superpowers, but for the sake of the article we’ll consider his attributes as powers.

His skill sets are but not limited to: 

• Martial arts
• Unlimited wealth
• Advanced technology
• Incredible intelligence

1.  Superman

Without a doubt, Superman is the most important member of the Justice League. His unfathomable power and speed, along with his intellect make for a great leader and hero.  Time and time again when the Justice League came into trouble, Superman was their gold ticket to save the world.

Superman, human name Clark Kent, was sent to earth in an escape pod by his parents during the destruction of his home planet Krypton. He was raised by his adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville. He wasn’t aware he wasn’t human until his powers started to emerge. With great power came great responsibility and Superman used his for good.

His superpowers are but not limited to:

• Super Strength
• Speed
• X-ray vision
• Healing factor
• Flight
• Super hearing
• Heat vision
• Freeze breath

Now that you know more about the Justice League heroes, I recommended watching the upcoming film, even though great characters will be missing, they could be making appearances in future sequels. For now Batman, Superman, Wonder woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman will still be a destructive and entertaining team to watch.
