Justice Society of America/Characters: Difference between revisions

One of the first superheroes of the 20th century, Wesley Dodds was plagued with prophetic dreams that impelled him to fight crime. He invented a sleeping-gas gun and "wirepoon" (a gun-mounted grappling hook) to help him in his cause and became a founding member of the JSA. Shortly before the refounding of the modern JSA, Wesley Dodds committed suicide to prevent the [[Evil Sorcerer]] Mordru from extracting important information from him; his funeral set the stage for the JSA's rebirth. See [[The Sandman (Comic Book)/Characters|the Sandman character sheet]] for more.

The original "Sandy the Golden Boy", nephew of the Wesley Dodds. Grew up into the first chairman of the modern incarnation of the JSA, leading the team through many adventures. He gained super-powers and, after Wesley's death, inherited his prophetic dreams, but eventually got written out as the writer-switch between David Goyer & [[Geoff Johns]] went underway, disappearing into the Earth for a while, and losing his leadership position to Mr. Terrific. Eventually changed his name to the Sandman like his mentor. See [[The Sandman (Comic Book)/Characters|the Sandman character sheet]] for more.
