Title: Ultimate Justice League Subtitle: Separate we are heroes. Together we are more. Author: DiscipleofBob and Others Heroes: Clark Kent (Superman), Bruce Wayne (Batman)*, Wonder Woman, Arthur Curry (Aquaman), Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)*, Oliver Queen (Green Arrow)*, Zatanna Zatarra* Villains: General Dru-Zod, Lex Luthor, Faora, Ubermensch, Horned Owl, Axis Amerika (Hel, Gudra, Fledermaus, Kamikaze, Sea Wolf, Sun Archer, Fleshburn, Great White, Zaladin) Support: Lois Lane, Karen Starr (Power Girl), Hector Hall (Dr. Fate)* Wallpaper: Kryptonians, Fortress of Solitude, Hall of Justice
* - Indicates a claim that is shared with another author. I will defer to the other author in terms of plot and character development regarding these characters. This way if one of the individual titles is dropped for any reason, it will hopefully not impact this title.
Also appearing in this title will be characters from our public claims list, notably Amanda Waller and Argus.
This title is going to be an experiment in group titles. I'll be writing the first arc as well as some future chapters, but I'm also opening up future arcs both for readers to make suggestions as to what they want to see in Justice League, as well as allowing other writers to write future arcs. In the case of the latter, I'll be acting as more of an editor.
It's my hope that this format is successful enough for other people to be author/editor of future titles.
The first two arcs are more or less set in stone, with me taking the first arc and Adrini taking the second arc. After that, it's open whether someone wants to take the third arc or if I'll write that one. I also have a few slots left which could be either used for supporting characters or a third arc antagonist/focus.

You've got Lex on there twice. Otherwise approved.

Since this one is coming along MUCH more nicely than my previous attempt ever did, I'm far enough into a first issue to feel comfortable laying down a claim, if I might.
Ultimate Global Guardians “Heroes for the Common Man”
9 - Heroes: Blue Beetle II (Ted Kord), Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter), Fire (Beatriz Bonilla da Costa), Ice (Tora Olafdotter), Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny), Rocket Red (Gavril Ivanovich), Captain Atom (Nate Adams), Goldstar (Michelle Carter), Godiva (Dora Leigh)
4 - Support: Max Lord, L-Ron, Sue Dibny, Doctor Mist (Nommo Kor)
5 - Villains: Conrad Carapax, Madman (Farley Fleeter), Royal Flush Gang (King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Ace)
Wallpaper: Skeets, Dan Garrett (Blue Beetle I), Jarvis Kord
Should be 18 (including factoring in three claims for the RFG (claiming King and Queen separately, then the rest of the group with the third, as per convention). My two remaining picks ought to go to DOB for him to use in Wonder Woman, seeing as how he's kindly handed over Fire and Ice from that series and it only seems fair to return those picks to him for the courtesy. That would bring this claim up to 20.
Since I know the issue of time travel is a bit contentious here, I just wanted to make it clear how Booster Gold does and doesn't brush up against that while you're pondering approval for the series.
Without going into spoilers for the series too much, Booster's traditional origins are pretty much intact. He is from the future, but aside from coming from him coming into the present day, I'm not planning on dealing too much with anything but the present day. He has no means of doing any further time travel and it will not be a central part of the character or his storylines.
And also, to that end, as I understand a Green Lantern series has been added, I don't have any plans or designs on The Reach or anything relating to the post-Kord Blue Beetle, so they would be available to use should that writer be inclined. Ted WILL have possession of Dan Garrett's scarab, but it's not functional at the moment.

The only minor issue is that there are chapters of RFG's. One in 'haven. One in Star City. Wherever you are setting this it would be you just need to mention something to that effect. No biggie.

I'd definitely read up on the Gang though. 'Haven vol 1 is your best bet for understanding how they work. I believe issue 4 or 5 was where they first appeared.

Approved, ericthepilot.
Answering your other questions and other points:
- You can make edits up until your first issue is posted, including using filling those two empty slots if you so chose. - Booster Gold's time travel origins is fine. - Royal Flush Gang is currently unclaimed, but in continuity from previous stories. Drake and Adrini pretty much covered it in that they're widespread with RFG's in multiple cities.

In my experience and conversations with Wachter (the original user of the RFG), there's only one gang but it's huge and has a hand in most of the major cities. However, there is only one King, Queen, Jack and Ace, I believe. I could be wrong though. Go with what works for you as long as it doesn't contradict previous continuity.

Watcher and I theroized about there being a head King, Queen and Ace they send out and franchise out chapters in other locations but still under that overreaching control. More money to be made that way.

I can just as easy replace the RFG with someone else, and will do so when I get home and I'll repost the whole shebang. I'll replace those three claims, but the other two are yours DOB, seems only fair.

This should hopefully work out...
Ultimate Global Guardians
“Heroes for the Common Man”
9 - Heroes: Blue Beetle II (Ted Kord), Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter), Fire (Beatriz Bonilla da Costa), Ice (Tora Olafdotter), Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny), Rocket Red (Gavril Ivanovich), Captain Atom (Nate Adams), Goldstar (Michelle Carter), Godiva (Dora Leigh)
5 - Support: Max Lord, L-Ron, Sue Dibny, Doctor Mist (Nommo Kor), Vext
4 - Villains: Conrad Carapax, Madman (Farley Fleeter), The Body Doubles (Bonny Hoffman and Carmen Leno)
Wallpaper: Skeets, Dan Garrett (Blue Beetle I), Jarvis Kord, Uncle Nick, Delta City
(since it doesn't look like anyone's gotten to this, made a quick edit and changed out Egg Fu for Vext. I'll grab him again, assuming he's still free, once I'm at issue #3. Vext is a bit more important to the initial set up)

The changes are approved. I'll be getting your board up later today. Your first issue will be due by the end of June, though feel free to post sooner.
Love the new avatar by the way.

I saw that and knew that was the one. The issue that's from (Martian Manhunter #24) is probably one of my favorite single comics of all time. It has, what I think anyway, is the funniest six panels in comic history.
