The Justice League of Earth was a group of super-powered humans living on 31st Century Earth.

History

They all auditioned for the Legion of Super-Heroes, but were rejected due to their powers to be ineffective in battle. Over time their powers mutated turning them all into considerable threats. These individuals fell under the sway of Earth Man and his xenophobic ideals that Superman was a native of Earth who worked hard to protect the planet from alien threats; in which purportedly one of Superman's greatest achievements is protecting the planet from the dreaded Martian Manhunter.

The JLE spread their ideals of distrust and hatred against aliens across Earth and succeeded in convincing the planet's inhabitants to believe them, leading the planet to fall under the dictatorship of Earth Man, secede from the United Planets, and begin a massive persecution of aliens by Earth's people. The Legion of Super-Heroes were also branded as fugitives for perpetuating the "lies" of Superman's true origins. The JLE was therefore tasked to hunt them down. They captured many Legionnaires, allowing Earth-Man to absorb their powers. The JLE then used the Legionnaire Sun Boy to turn many of the suns in the galaxy red. The remaining Legion members resorted to summoning Superman to their time for his aid. Together, they stormed the JLE's satellite headquarters where they recovered information containing the false claims regarding Superman's origins, which they exposed to the people of Earth. After the Legion had freed Sun Boy, The Justice League of Earth were disbanded and imprisoned on Takron-Galtos.
