When the evil Asmodel invades the Earth in search of fellow angel and next Justice Leaguer Zauriel in issues # 6 and # 7 ofJLA , he brings the forces of Heaven with him . AsMartian Manhunter occupies the scoundrel , despite his flame gaze , Wonder Woman , Aquaman , and the others hold off the angelic force out to forestall them from destroying all of San Francisco . Meanwhile , Superman uses his newfound electromagnetic abilities to literally root for the Moon back into seat after it ’s disrupted by the demon Neron . The Man of Steel then head to San Francisco and wrestles Asmodel - one of Heaven ’s strongest warrior - to a standstill . The League eventually make do to direct the encroacher back to their kingdom , but not before pulling off some pretty incredible feats .
Both within continuity and in various adaptations , the JLA is oftentimes impersonate as a pantheon of modern gods , and this battle essentially raise that call . away from Superman pulling the Moon and wrestle an incredibly herculean backer , Wonder Woman almost single - handedly dismantles Asmodel ’s gargantuan chariot beforethen - rookie Green Lantern Kyle Raynerand the Flash combine their powers to tug the angels off . No other team would have subsist such an barrage , and even Kyle himself is blown by and remarks “ Man , does n’t it ever hit you how awesome all this is ? ”
In beating back the force-out of Heaven , the JLA cemented their stakes as the world ’s primary protectors of the Earth . In so doing , they metaphorically ascend to the persona of the higher business leader - a notion that both Grant Morrison would revisit years later in their DC work , as would Zack Snyder in the films of the DCEU . Whether the team knew it or not at the time , they were fighting for the title of Earth ’s chosen pantheon , and they win it without question .
Asmodel ’s encroachment may not be the most well - known threatthat the Justice League has ever faced , but it ’s certainly one of the most authoritative . Though every member of the team is all too human , regardless of their satellite of blood line , this cement their status as modern - day gods ofDC Comics . Ultimately , this struggle made one matter extravagantly clear : should anyone stand in the room of theJustice League ’s mission , not even Heaven will be capable to help oneself them .
