Line 5:
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: The time Doc Mid-Nite's pet owl Hooty killed a bunch of Nazis while on a drug-fueled rampage (thanks to Hourman's Miraclo pill) when Doc Mid-Nite was down for the count.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Wildcat. Few readers of the forgotten character from the '40s would've expected a Batman ripoff to become a major part of the team, and one of only four Golden Agers left alive.
** Many of the original members of the team count as this. Characters like Wildcat, Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite were also-rans of the 40s, vanishing after a very short time period in the books. Effectively failed concepts, they would have never seen the light again if not for their links to the JSA- so when the JLA/JSA team-ups started happening, out came these obscure failed characters. Fast-forward to modern times, and now many of these originals and successors are now popular heroes in their own rights.
** Cyclone is quite popular, what with her ubber woobieness and funny scenes.
* [[Ethnic Scrappy]]: Jakeem Thunder is considered this a bit, as he talks in ghetto slang, swears a lot, and acts like a buffoon.
** Fans mostly have this reaction to Amazing Man on message boards, not only because of notable suckiness, but because he has so little characterization and moments in the sun, being just a background guy who doesn't say or do anything.
* [[Ho Yay]]: There's the almost downright coy [[Heterosexual Life Partners|bromance]] between the murderous [[Black Adam]] and the (relatively) young and naive Atom-Smasher, who is twice convinced by Adam to abandon the JSA and fight at his side. It makes sense that Atom-Smasher chooses to wear a full-face mask like his godfather Al Pratt: he's hiding the goo-goo eyes he's making at Adam behind it.
* [[Les Yay]]: A little between Stargirl and Cyclone, at least [[Fan Wank|in the eyes of some fans]].
* [[Mary Sue]]: Stargirl avoided this in recent years, despite being based off of Geoff Johns' late sister. She's respectful, virginal, and always shown to be in the right in any debate, and is always mentioned by others as being pretty, nice, full of potential, and has various other superheroes trying to date her. But she avoids this by still being occasionally immature, and she's one of the least powerful members of the team.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Not much, but because of Alex Ross's...''sugestive'' depiction of Maxine's costume, lead to many making jokes about her apparent lack of underwear or commenting that she forgot it.
** [[Ascended Meme]]: Which was once noted in story, when a bunch of comments are made about her, from calling her a joke, insulting her former use of wearing a hat, and refering to her as the 'team mascot' or pet, one of the comments heard included 'Does she even wear underwear?' While sorta funny, combined with her face and the other comments, makes it just fuel to her woobieness.
* [[Rescued
* [[Shipping]]: Many fans want to see Captain Marvel hook back up with Stargirl, even badgering the new writers of the book about it. It ain't happening, since they're now handled by two different editorial teams.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Three particular incidents stand out--Jakeem Thunder begging the Thunderbolt to bring the dead Johnny Thunder back to life. Stargirl openly weeping over Atom Smasher's dead body (in the process, showing her true feelings for him). And Stargirl's reaction to finding out her hated birth father has died- she breaks down, unable to understand why she cares. "Because you're a wonderful daughter", her stepdad tells her.
