Once, the justice league was a welcome group for the people of earth, but no longer.
Once, heroes were looked up to, but now people try to forget them.
Once, the league protected earth, but now they will be arrested if found using their powers.
Thirteen years ago, the league was a group of individuals who wanted to protect the people of earth, the people welcomed them, but it all changed twelve years ago, when a hero went rogue. Hotshot was a young league member who could control lightning and fire, someone you didn't want to piss off. He was a father of two young girls who were killed a week before he went rogue. His five and six-year-old girls were playing in their yard when they wound up in the middle of the road, where they were run over by a reckless driver. Who later turned out to be the German ambassador. Hotshot was angry that the man got away with it because he was an ambassador, so he killed the man, shot him right through the heart with a lightning bolt. Hotshot killed himself right after he killed his daughter's murderer, but he also killed half the trust the world had in their heroes.
The other half of that trust was destroyed when another league member turned out to be a child molester with the ability to erase all memories the molested child would have about their attacker. After he was found out, all trust was lost, and all heroes were ordered to retire and stop using their abilities unless they wished to be arrested and placed in a special government facility where they would live out their days where they couldn't harm any normal person.
The league was forced to disband and the members go their separate ways. The original seven, young justice, and the most remember-able of the league members stayed on earth to continue to live out their lives as humans, among those they once protected. Some of the league members just disappeared, never to be heard again, even by those they once fought beside. But most of the members relocated to a new world, where they would be welcomed by the people to live among people who wouldn't condemn them for what they were or what they could do, and these members were helped to relocate by the one and only Batman. But EVERY member of the league kept their coms, they were always on their person so that they could reunite if they were ever needed, as they had all promised they would during the last league meeting, early on the day the league was disbanded.
The only place, and people, unaffected was Gotham and her people. Gotham has always feared, but loved, Batman and his clan so they were unaffected with this change. Batman and his clan were still as welcome and loved as ever. However, no other heroes were welcome in Gotham's perimeters.
Every member had their own way of dealing with what had happened, but one member stood out, one who gave them all hope. This member didn't give up helping others, he joined the army, quickly rose through the ranks, and earned the respect and love of almost the entire world. Because of this one man every member of the former league would make sure to be by a TV on Wednesday's, the day when their former comrade would speak to the entire world and give them hope for the future. This man acted as a sort of spokesperson for the Army, telling the people what was going on and giving them hope for the lives of the men and women that fight for them, everyone loves this man. A man who was once known to them as Super-boy, but to the world, he is now known as...
Sergeant Major Conner Kent.
