On New Year's Eve 2003, Brainiac invaded the Earth and seven heroes rose up to stop him. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Flash and the Martian Manhunter would go on to form the Justice League of America. This team would go on to gain over eighty members and has easily become the most recognized superhero team in the world. The Justice League was founded with seven members, so every year there is a meeting where all members are allowed to attend, this is called a Founders' Meeting. At a Founder's Meeting, each founder takes a turn nominating a candidate for consideration. After all founders have been heard, there is a vote. Each member votes yea or nay on each nomination. If a candidate gets 57% approval (57% being 4/7th of a vote, the same ratio that would have passed at the original Founders' Meeting) then they are invited to join the Justice League. If there was anyone who was disqualified that Founder can nominate a new candidate at that time or at a second, special Founders' Meeting at a later date.
