Earth-19. At America's centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876, the spectators were awed as a man named Clark Kent, a farmer's son from Kansas, flew down out of the clear blue sky, carrying the Torch of Liberty, the first completed part of a giant statue built as a gift for America by the people of France. Over the following years, Clark, or the Superman, as he came to be called, build a team around himself dedicated to building an Age of Wonder for all people. By the end of the Great War in 1911, Superman was forced to confront the fact it had been his own additions to Earth's science that had caused the social problems that had lead to the war. He and his allies reformed their team into a force to prevent acts of greed, selfishness and the abuse of science by the forces of evil.

The Human Flash: Bartholomew Allen, "Barry" to his friends, was a chemist working in the lab where Clark and his team were working to backward engineer technology from the space pod that brought Clark to Earth. On the same night Ted Knight created his star-rod, a stray discharge from the device struck Barry, sending him into a table filled with chemicals. The electrified chemicals altered Barry's physiology, granting him the power to run at incredible speed. Barry later discovered the exact limit of sound's speed and surpassed it, creating what the press dubbed "a sonic boom".

Plastic Man: Patrick O'Brian was a worker in a plastics factory. One day, a fire broke out and, as Patrick helped his fellow workers evacuate, a tank tipped over and covered him in a highly-experimental molten plastic! Workers clearing the rubble discovered Patrick, still alive and apparently unharmed and delivered him to a hospital. As he recovered, Patrick discovered his body had somehow absorbed the properties of plastic, granting him the power to stretch and mold his physique into amazing shapes and forms.

Star-Man: Theodore "Ted" Knight was one of the founding members of the league of science. After Superman revealed his alien origins to the other members, Ted studied the machine's power core and backward engineered a device he shaped into a staff capable of absorbing any form of energy and redirecting it.

The Bat-Man: Born into the wealthy and influential Wayne family, Bruce admired Superman and the League of Science as a boy and hoped to grow to be an inventor. On a visit to the League's headquarters, the Waynes were caught in an attack by the domestic terrorist group calling themselves the Spartans. Bruce's parents died protecting their son from the falling rubble. Bruce blamed himself for his parents' deaths, and vowed to spend the rest of his life fighting evils like the one that killed them. For the next ten years, Bruce trained his mind and body to the pinnacle of human perfection. He designed and built an array of tools and created a costumed persona that became the urban legend called the Bat-Man.

Superman: Clark Kent discovered his powers at an early age, but it wasn't until he was a man that his father revealed the tiny space ship that had carried him to Earth. Clark Kent was really Kal-El, the soul surviving member of a race of humanoid aliens from the planet Krypton. After his debut, Clark made the aquaintence of journalist Lois Lane. Taking a job with famed scientist Nikola Tesla, Clark struck up a friendship with fellow worker, Alexander Luthor. The pair rose through society together, and ten years afterword, Lex was Clark's best man at his wedding to Lois. It was the fortune Lex made in business that helped fund the League of Science in its early days. It wasn't until the Great War Clark discovered his friend's real nature. Unknown to anyone, Lex had begun selling top-secret technology to foreign military powers, intending to use the war to seize control of the world for himself. Clark, for the first time in his life, donned his uniform to battle the force of evil he had helped to create.

Green Lantern: Hal Jordan was an army captain helping oversee the military's top-secret testing ground for experimental technologies, Lot 51, when a creature in a strange uniform with a glowing ring on its finger crashed into the desert nearby. The alien explained he one of a group called "The Green Lanterns", a peace-keeping force of the stars, and had been mortally injured protecting the Earth from a dire threat. Passing his ring and a strange lantern-like device to Hal, the creature begged Hal to take up his responsibility. The soldier could not deny a man's dying wish. Hal and his men buried the alien where they had found his body, and Hal placed the ring on his finger, becoming the first human Green Lantern, protector of Sector 2814.

Wonder Woman: The island of Themyscara, home of the Amazons, was a paradise once, but when Superman and his team discovered them, the Amazon's proud warriors had fallen to the invading forces of Kaiser Wilhelm. Enslaving the warrior women to strip their home of its resources and technology, the Germans has taken Queen Hippolyta and her daughter and heir, Diana, as hostages. Clark and Lex managed to rescue Diana and brought her back to America, promising to do all they could to free her people. It was Diana's impassioned speech to the League of Nations that convinced them of Germany's plans to conquer the world and the need to stand against them.

Steel: While stopping in Pennsylvania as part of a good will tour, Clark and the League of Science came across a railroad camp where a group of workers were protesting a new steam drill brought in to finish the line. A giant of a man, a steel-driver named John Henry, glared at the scientists and demanded they not interfere. The railroad bosses had brought in the steam drill to keep from having to give the workers the land they had been promised. Before all, John openly declared a contest; his two free hands and his twenty-pound hammers against the miracle of technology. To even Clark's amazement, John dug deeper into the side of a mountain by five feet than the steam drill. So overtaxed was the machine's boiler that it exploded! As his friends and crew-mates celebrated, John collapsed from a heart attack! League ally Nikola Tesla was able to save John by implanting his latest invention, a special battery, directly into John's chest to keep his heart pumping at a steady pace. Seeking to help John and his friends protect their new home, the League of Science designed and built a powerful suit of armor designed to magnify John's natural strength many times over, as well as arming him with a built-in gatling gun designed to shoot railroad spikes and an automatic jackhammer, all powered by John Henry's special pacemaker.
