OK its not a ideal that I thought of all by my self. Thanks to a picture Wizard had. The ideal to make a Ultimate DC Universe was the coolest thing that I think came from Wizard. So here we are with the Ultimate DC boards. For those who live under a rock we are ultimizing (if thats a word) the DC Universe like Marvel did with the Ultimate line of comics like The Ultimates, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Ultimate X-Men. Which means what I want to do is start all heroes at pretty much square one. Batman just got back from his life training mission, Clark Kent is seconds away from sliding on that big "S", but the big thing is what if Batman was a bigger gadgeteer than martial artist. What if Superman was a little more anger at the direction of where mankind was heading in and so on. The choices are endless. Making it a wild roller coaster with twist and turns.
Here how it goes down all heroes are unestablished excepted the ones part of this list.
Flash/Jay Garrick
Green Lantern/Alan Scott
Hawkman/Carter Hall
Sandman/Wesley Dodds
Spectre/Jim Corrigan
Doctor Fate/Kent Nelson
Hourman/Rex Tyler
Atom/Al Pratt

The Justice Society was America's original team of super-heroes, forged in the fires of the World War II. The origin of this team lies in the days before America had entered that war. In the autumn of 1940, Adolf Hitler planned the Nazi invasion of the British Islands. Unbeknown to the world at large, Hitler had acquired the Spear of Destiny, an ancient artifact once used to pierce the side of Christ. Hitler planned to use the Spear to summon magical powers to help him conquer the English forces who thus far had resisted him. The United States government obtained intelligence reports of the Spear and in consultation with British, dispatched an elite strike force comprised of two super-powered champions or "mystery men": Green Lantern and the Flash. The three heroes traveled to Glasgow, Scotland to conduct surveillance and potentially capture underground aides in planning the invasion. Confronted with superior robotics from Nazi Germany however, the two heroes were defeated and sent to Berlin as trophies of war. In Salem, Massachusetts, Dr. Fate observed these portents with grim resolve.
After recruiting another fledgling mystery-man, Hourman, he flew to Berlin to rescue the two American heroes. Once there, they were confronted by Norse Valkyries summoned by Hitler and the Spear of Destiny. While the four heroes struggled against the Valkyries, Fate summoned four more heroes, Sandman, Hawkman, the Atom and the Spectre and sent them to Dover, England to shore up the defense of the British Coast against the invading German hordes. The tide of the battle turned with the arrival of the Spectre who smashed most of the German invasion fleet single-handedly. With the repulsion of the Nazi invasion and the losing battle against the mystery-men in Berlin, most of the Valkyries fled with only small contingent left to guard an experimental Nazi bomber en route to the American capital. The heroes in Berlin joined those on the shores of Dover, a meeting which foreshadowed the formation of the greatest super-team in American history.
The heroes then followed the Nazi bomber to Washington, DC, battling the Valkyries along the way. While most of the Valkyries engaged that remaining heroes, a single goddess slipped past the White House guard in an attempt to assassinate President Roosevelt. The Atom followed the Valkyrie and when she attempted to slay the President with a blast of mystic energy, the Atom flung himself in her path and saved the President. The timely arrival of Hawkman prevented a second attack by the Valkyrie, who vanished when failure of her mission was unavoidable. Roosevelt was impressed by the actions of these heroes and encouraged them to continue to act as a group. This suggestion led to a formal organization and the formal formation of the Justice Society.
The Justice Society then began regular meetings which often resulted in the exchange of information regarding their own affairs. Their first official team effort was a mission under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover. Under sealed orders, the Justice Society smashed a ring of 5th columnists under the direction of Fritz Klaver. The JSA fought mainly common criminals such as Mr. X and Professor Elba for the first 2 years after their formation.
In mid-1941, the Justice Society investigated the activities of Ian Karkull, an adversary of Dr. Fate. Karkull had obtained the names of the next 8 men destined to sit in the Oval Office and planned to kill each one, thus creating a disruption in the fabric of American history which he believed would work to his advantage. He selected several agents, criminals experienced in dealing with the members of the Justice Society, to act as his agents in this task. Each agent encountered a different member and were defeated, with the exception of Wotan who slew a young boy despite the intervention of Green Lantern. When the assembled Justice Society members returned to battle Karkull, his defeat was accompanied by a radiation of the temporal energy stored in his body. The radiation took hold in the bodies of the assembled JSA members along with Joan Williams.
In December of 1941, Pearl Harbor was devastated by a Japanese surprise attack. Upon witnessing the destruction at Pearl Harbor, the heroes were inflamed and launched an assault on the fleet that had launched the Pearl Harbor attack. Unbeknown to the heroes, a Japanese agent known as the Dragon King had acquired a powerful mystical artifact, the Holy Grail. In conjunction with Adolf Hitler and the Spear of Destiny, the Dragon King generated a "sphere of influence" on the Axis-held lands in the Orient. As the Justice Society bore down on the Japanese fleet, many of the members fell victim to strange compulsions. Without warning, the Spectre, Green Lantern, and Dr. Fate turned against the other members. The "sphere" generated by Hitler and the Dragon King forced heroes that were susceptible to magic to change their allegiance and develop strong anti-American sentiments. Once the heroes left the "sphere", they reverted to normal. This situation persisted in Asia and Europe through the war, preventing America's most powerful heroes from taking part in the front lines of World War II.
In 1942, the Justice Society encountered two foes who would become long-standing enemies: the Ultra-Humanite and the Brain Wave. Several Justice Society members encountered the Ultra-Humanite in early 1942 when he (in the body of Dolores Winters) attempted to extort money from the federal government using the Powerstone and the Hammer of Thor. The Ultra-Humanite was ultimately defeated and believed destroyed by Terry Curtis, a pawn of the Humanite's known as Cyclotron. The second major adversary encountered as psychiatrist Dr. Henry King, known as the Brain Wave. King had been manipulating the Justice Society prior to the original meeting through his agent Dr. Elba and behind the scenes after capturing the Justice Society. King's first direct confrontation with the Justice Society occurred in late 1942, during which he captured the members of the Justice Society enrolled in the armed forces and manipulated their dreams through a device he had invented to directly access their psyches. With their defeat, the feedback destroyed the machine and the Brain Wave escaped. Since he had spoken via speaker phone, the Justice Society never knew the identity of their captor.
In 1943, the Justice Society again encountered Brain Wave, this time using mental projections to commit thefts for him. He was ultimately defeated by the Justice Society, who ended the case believing he had plunged to his death. He appeared later that year and had developed a method shrink ray which he used to reduce the Justice Society to a few inches in size. They escaped and Brain Wave was again believed killed by an explosion in his hideout. Two lesser adversaries, the King Bee and the Mad Maestro were also defeated that year.
In 1944, the tide of war began to turn and America's role in world affairs swelled in the coming tide of victory. Early in 1944, the Justice Societymet and defeated a Jekyll & Hyde type known as the Monster and again assisted Professor Everson later that year. Late in 1944, the Justice Society encountered another significant adversary in the form of Charley Halstead, a linotyper for the Daily Courier newspaper. Halstead adopted the identity of the Psycho-Pirate and committed a series of crime based on emotions. Ultimately, he was exposed by the Atom, who he subsequently shot. He was shortly arrested by the Justice Society and sent to prison.
Late in 1951, the Justice Society was targeted by Eliminations, Inc, an agency in the employ of several prominent figures in organized crime. Lured by the promise of lavish gifts from a group of grateful citizens, the Justice Society was trapped in an orbital satellite with extremely advanced technology. Upon breaking free, they tracked their captor and his employers, arresting all of them. When the authorities recognized their captor, it caused repercussions to the highest level of government. The Justice Society was summoned before the House Committee on Un-American Affairs and questioned on their knowledge of and relation to the very man who captured them. The man was apparently an agent of unspecified foreign power and his resources with which he had obtained the satellite were unknown. The true origins of the man have never been revealed. Nonetheless, in the days of McCarthyism, nothing was sacred and the Justice Society was implied as having ties to foreign agencies with interests contrary to those of the United States. Accordingly, the Committee requested that the active JSA members surrender the knowledge of their true identities and submit to interrogation in order to maintain their status as legitimate legal organization. Shocked and incredulous, the JSA refused and, with a dramatic flash of Green Lantern's power ring, disappeared.
Flash forward to a new time that is starting to see strange feats perform by "mystery men" and beings from far off worlds. What will happen in a time of meta humans and aliens.
