The Pantheon
Grant Morrison envisioned the JLA as a parallel to the pantheon of Greek gods. Here's his logic:
| Superman = Zeus | Batman = Hades | Plastic Man = Dionysus | Wonder Woman = Hera | Aquaman = Poseidon | Martian Manhunter = an advisor only | Flash = Hermes | Big Barda = Demeter | Orion = Ares | Huntress = Artemis | Steel = Hephaestus | Green Lantern = Apollo | Oracle = Athena | Zauriel = Eros |
