Edit
- An early proposal for the Young Justice: Legacy storyline had Zeus as a key villain, with the Team attempting to prevent an ancient and powerful weapon, the Spear of Reckoning (which might have been Zeus's thunderbolt), from falling into enemy hands. While the basic concept was approved, the use of Zeus and a Grecian weapon was rejected as Zeus is a good guy in Earth-16.
- Zeus was one of the principal gods of Greek mythology, the king of the Olympians. In DC Comics, Zeus and the other gods are worshiped by the Amazons and the Atlanteans. He was also the father of Cassandra Sandsmark.
Notes
Edit
- ↑ Though Sergeant Marvel's identity has yet to be explicitly confirmed, every other Team member's secret identity is known and Greg Weisman has indicated Mary Bromfield was a member of the Team. Thus, Mary must be Sergeant Marvel.
