The Justice League is a superhero team composed of The Atom, Fire, [[The Flash]] and [[Green Lantern]], all led by the [[Martian Manhunter]]. When Tori Olafsdotter acquires ice-related powers and finds her boss is using a weather machine against the city, she helps the team against him and ends joining them as Ice.

This in evident in the fact that the series' tone and the team lineup is almost identical to the Giffen/DeMatties era. While their run was very popular with fans, it was long gone by the time the pilot was filmed.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Ice has light brown hair, while she was a [[White
* [[Bad Boss]]: {{spoiler|It turns out that Ice's boss is the Weather Man.}}
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Aside from the love interests for the heroes, the [[Big Bad]] of the pilot was called the Weather Man, who is not a known [[DC Comics]] villain. However, this character might have been an [[Expy]] of the '''Weather Wizard''', an old [[Flash]] rogue.
