Day 12 - Forgotten #JusticeLeague
Forgotten Justice League members:
Guardian
The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 12 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about.
The Guardian was created by Jack Kirby and writer Joe Simon and first appeared in April 1942 just 13 months after another non-superpowered character with a shield that Kirby and Simon created that became more well-known, Captain America for Marvel Comics.
The original Guardian was James "Jim" Harper, a police officer for Metropolis whose beat was Suicide Slum that adopted the vigilante persona to catch crooks that the law could not touch. Harper would later be revealed to be the great-uncle of Roy Harper who would be Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy.
Mal Duncan, a member of the Teen Titans, later adopts the original costume combined with an exo-skeleton to become the next Guardian for a time, however it was the orginal Jim Harper Guardian that was asked to join the Justice League in Justice League of America, volume 2 issue 41. This original character later retires from crime fighting and has yet to be seen in either the New 52 or Rebirth series.
