'''''The Nail''''' (or ''JLA: The Nail'') is a three-issue comic book mini-series published by [[DC Comics]]. It is a self-contained story by Alan Davis which [[Elseworld|stands outside of the mainstream continuity of the DC Universe]].
 
In this universe, Martha and Jonathan Kent's truck has a tire puncture caused by a nail. This prevents them from discovering the spaceship containing the baby Kal-El, and so, there's no [[Superman]]. There is, however, still a [[Justice League of America]], consisting of [[Batman]], [[Wonder Woman]], [[Aquaman]], [[The Flash]] (Barry Allen), Hawkwoman, the Atom (Ray Palmer), [[Martian Manhunter]] and [[Green Lantern]] (Hal Jordan). There's also a great degree of xenophobia for the "metahumans," fueled by anti-metahuman propaganda from Perry White and backed by Metropolis mayor [[Lex Luthor]]; slowly 'metahumans' begin to disappear as other issues arise requiring the attention of the publicly disliked JLA.
