On Earth-24 we have a Justice League made up of:
Battle Armor Superman
This realities sun is 10% less powerful and so this world's Superman is 10% less powerful.. but undeterred Earth-24 Clark fights even *harder*, having had to develop some semi-Batman like abilities.
Clark is married to both Lana Lang and Lois Lane, Lois having married him to keep his cover of Clark Kent, that he would not be exposed, but then they fell in love, Lana accepted that Clark loved them both and so they all live together in Metropolis.
Lana and Clark have a son called Caleb (10yo) and a daughter called Leora (9yo).
Lois and Clark have a son called Connor (7yo).
His nickname on the JL team is 'HotRod'.. this is because unlike the Clark we know, Earth-24 Clark, isn't a news reporter. Jonathan Kent would always say to him 'I knew when you lifted the car that you were special' and Clark always thought of this fondly.. so when a car on a jack in a garage buckled nearly killing Lana's father, Clark saved him in the nick of time, this began Clark thinking more about cars. There were also not many jobs available in Smallville as the place was dying due to underpopulation.. they desperately needed a mechanic.
So that's what Clark became.
After many years he was offered a job designing cars and that job was in Metropolis, He Lana and little baby Caleb moved to Metropolis. The first time he met Lois was during a piece she was writing about electric cars and their design.
Two years later Zod came to Earth and instantly sought out Kal-el, he became incensed when he discovered Kal-el had children to a human woman, aided by Zander Luthor the two sought to strip him of everything.. Zod even stripped him near bare and let the newspapers take detailed pictures of his face. While this was going on Zander had went to their home and killed Lana, Caleb and Leora..but he had not. Batman and Superman had teamed up a couple of times before this and became firm friends. Finding out about Zod from Clark, Bruce had a contingency plan incase Zod showed up with an intent to kill the children, and he acted on his plan, making brainless clones of them and put them in a sleeping pose in their Metropolis apartment.. taking the real Lana & children to safety.
Once the newspapers found out that Superman was Clark, it was on every headline, it was during this time Lois remembered how kind and nice Clark was, and didn't deserve this feeding frenzy of the media.
This was also the first time Clark met UltraWoman.. she smashed Zod like he was a dead fish, and weakened Zander's Chino ring enough to frighten him that he fled.
After this Clark was unsure how he could have a normal life again.. but Lois contacted Clark and offered him a deal.. She would marry him and divert attention away from him/Superman (no one would dare say anything to them or she would rip them to shreds verbally or in print) and write about how sad it was his family died and how she had pity on him. That it was mistaken identity on this poor soul only trying to live a right life. Lois would just keep lying through her teeth until they all went away.
Clark agrees. This also means Lana & the children will always be safe.
Batman suggests Clark needs a suit of armor..
Yesterday-displaced Batman
The Bruce Wayne of Earth-24 was in a near fatal accident that made him time displaced.
He is the Batman we know but also he lives simultaneously in the 1920s, thrown in time at any moment, but when returned, he returns back to the exact moment he left.
In the 1920s he is still Batman and fights bank robbers and gangsters, there is even a version of the Joker here, called 'The Carny'..who travels in a carnival killing strangers and selling their meat in pies.
All this makes this Batman have double the life experience than the Batman we know.
Feldgrau Lantern; UltraWoman (Stargirl/Atrocitus)
Very unlike the Courtney Whitmore we know, This superheroine fights on the cosmic level. Side-by-side with Battle Armor Superman has taken down; Brainiac, The Anti-Monitor and Darkseid.
But Earth-24's Courtney did not begin this way..
Here, she is the illegitimate daughter of General Lane, when she found out her father was not her birth father at 15yo one stormy night.. she ran away from home. After travelling for 3 days via Greyhound to her birth father's army base.. she walked right up to the guard at the front entrance and told him 'I am General Lane's daughter and I want to see him!'.. he faithfully communicated her message to General Lane who was asleep as it was 1am. She stood in the cold pouring rain patiently. Full of dread of what he might say.
He came in a car and picked her up, putting his large green overcoat around her..
At seeing him she began to cry.. but the tears blended into the rain on her face..
General Lane: I'm a bit startled to see you my dear.. so you have to forgive me, if I say or do something inappropriate.. but I knew one day you would come and I welcomed the thought of you and meeting you.
Courtney: Why? Why am I discardable?
General Lane: You're not.. your mother and I met before your mother and her husband, my wife and I had briefly separated for 6 months after our youngest went to collage, we were both seeing other people.. I loved your mother and she me, but we broke up long before we knew about you.. and by that time I was back with my wife.
Courtney:.. then you.. love .. me?
General Lane: of course.. you are my daughter. The measure of your eyes do not lie to the stars.
Courtney: then I can stay with you for a little while.. just til we get close.. yes?
General Lane: well.. no.. and it's not because I do not want you to, it's because it would shame Mrs.Lane in front of the whole base.. I can't have that, she hasn't done anything wrong..
Courtney interrupts: Wrong..? WRONG? 'I' am not something 'WRONG'
General Lane: I know that dear. But she doesn't. You be quiet like your father says young lady.. and give me time to sort.. some flavour of genius, in the form of a plan.
After two hours of driving around the base, just contently sitting in the quiet.
Driver: need to fuel up sir.
General Lane: yes, that's fine.
General Lane: Courtney, your kinda tall girl.. yes?
Courtney: 5'5" sir.
General Lane: Lets see if we can't hide you in the motor pool.. as a kind of intern.
3 days later during an alien attack..
General Lane is standing fixated on Courtney as a truck which has been thrown is hurling towards her.. most definitely about to kill her .. as his wife looks on she sees him throw himself in front of the truck to knock Courtney out of the way.. sacrificing his life to save Courtneys. Proving to Courtney forever. She is worth everything and that her birth father is a great hero.
This brief encounter with her birth father would shape Courtney in unfathomable ways.
When a Feldgrau Lantern first came to Earth, told to capture one of the inhabitants to be tested, Courtney (19yo) was already in Metropolis fighting crime as an unpowered superhero nicknamed the 'white hoody'.. He came to the city looking for a powerful warrior, however he drew the attention of Courtney who relentlessly chased him.. no matter what he did to her she would not let him go.. saying 'This is my Earth.. I will not let you invade no matter your power.'.. this impressed the Lantern so much.. they offered her a ring of her own.
She has a huge sense of pride in being Human, and woe betide the alien that threatens her precious Earth!
Head of the Feldgrau Lantern Corps she can summon many allies from the Corps, however this is rare as she is so powerful. She is head of the Justice League along with Clark then Bruce.
Cyborg Wonder Woman.
Infused with a Motherbox at her birth, the Amazons have performed this ritual for millennia. Diana was to be their Queen, but at 14yo her Motherbox activated early and Diana went crazy. She killed many of her sisters.. in shame she ran away, the Amazons still pursue her to this day.
Her Motherbox fully activated at 25yo.
She lives in shame.. trying to make amends and show her sisters that she did not mean to kill the others, hoping they might forgive her.
Cyan Lantern Hal Jordan
After marrying Carol Ferris, his boss at Ferris Aircraft, and having 2 children, a boy and a girl. Hal, being a pilot, becomes fascinated with faster travel and begins researching alien craft sightings. At a place known for sightings, in the middle of the night, Hal looks for any craft to give him an idea how the craft moves and so he could guess how to improve human craft.. but then suddenly.. a ship crashes, and he goes to investigate. In the ship is a dying alien.. his name is Amon Sur (yes not Abin but his son).. Amon tells him to take the ring which Hal does. His story begins..
Red Mist (Flash)
Barry Allen was struck by lightning, but not imbued with the Speedforce, instead he was imbued with the power of The Bleed, giving him the ability to teleport to anywhere in space, anywhere in any dimension. He is unable to time travel..this has meant that Iris has died, many of his team have died, despite this he remains optimistic about the evil-doers of Earth-24's Central City.
Earth-24 Barry.. is somewhat Bizzaro like, the Bleed affected his mind. He still tries to be heroic, but his jumbled up thoughts lead him to the wrong conclusions at times, this and being in denial about how he feels about Iris's death.. leaves him a very different person than the one we know.
Earth-24 has a 'banned' status on the Speedforce travel list because of him, he may travel to other universes, because in other universes he is weakened enough that the Bleed will not harm the multiverse, however if he was in Earth-24 and met a powerful speedster, together, they could potentially have the power to collapse universal walls.
Unbeknownst to the Justice League, Barry has kidnaped a few Iris Wests from other realities. He keeps them in an old abandoned army bunker.. thinking.. 'well.. if one of them wants to stay I can replace Iris.'. He told them if they 'gave it a try and liked it they could stay, but if they absolutely don't like it (he) would take them back to their Earth.'. This experiment has been ongoing for around a year.. even though they all protest, Barry has not brought them back to their original realities.
Superchic (Supergirl/Mon-EL)
After many lawsuits of the Justice League from Lex-Corp, near bankrupting Bruce Wayne, Supermodel Barbara Gordon offered to help, fitted with hidden cybernetic calf muscles that allow her to fly, she pretends to be a superhero, does photo shoots and gives the money to the JLA, Mara-EL of Daxam is her 'body double' and does the actual fighting.
Battle Armor Superman disapproves of this, however he does not want to see Bruce bankrupted, the last lawsuit Bruce paid for was 4 years ago and Wayne corp has been doing well with their government contracts since, due to that and Superman's battle armor advertising (whose sleeves are nicknamed 'Rock' and 'Roll') the suit is built by Wayne Corp and on the shoulders have the logo, this has given Wayne Corp credibility.
Judges are kinder to Superchic than they were in the past to the Justice League, due to her giving up her seemly privileged life to become a superhero. Also she's jaw droppingly beautiful.
Others..
Chino Lantern Zander Luthor (Lex/Sinestro/Larfleeze)
Leader of the Chino Corps, he has ZL in a Superman style emblem emblazoned on his chest, the other Lanterns of this Corps have the 'spiked shield inside a lantern' emblem.
L.O.A trained Joker (Batman+Joker)
Upon hearing Talia was pregnant with Batman's child, The Joker followed her to Nanda Parbat with an idea of killing the child. There he met for the first time Ras' al Ghul, who threw him into the pit with the other fighters, the Joker not only survived this ordeal but thrived which impressed Ras'. Hearing that Batman had undergone LOA training piqued the Jokers interest and so he submitted to the same training.. and then killed everyone* in LOA except Talia who managed to get away with the child. Her and Bruce are now married, Alfred babysits little baby Ras'al while the couple fight crime.
*Draining the lazarus pit and replacing the water with similar looking Joker toxin. So when Nanda Parbat's inhabitants ran to the pit heal their wounds.. instead they started to choke on the fumes then started laughing, which choked them all the more.
Orange Kryptonite Empowered Zod
In the phantom zone, they had ran out of food, the men started eating the crystals, including Zod.
On Earth-24 Phantom Zone, the Orange Kryptonite dust poisoned him, he almost died, however surviving this slowly over time his body got used to this, when he arrived on Earth it accelerated his absorption of sunlight, as a catalyst, realizing this he spent one year orbiting the sun. But to give an example of how fast he is empowered, one week on earth he gained 1 years sunlight exposure, in one month 4 years, in three months 12 years.. by the time he fought Clark he was much stronger than him by a factor of 4.
He no longer has access to the dust and is unsure how long the remaining Orange K in his body will catalyse him.
(One third of the Phantom Zone was burnt in the explosion of Krypton as they did not shut the portal in enough time. This caused radiation throughout the Phantom Zone and degraded their systems including food replicators.)
Grey Lantern Bizarro
Biz encountered a Grey Lantern on earth, thinking they were an enemy he began to attack, instantly a bubble shield surrounded them but Biz kept attacking, a loud chime rung out with each strike until a ring came for Biz. he is ultra chilled out now, doesn't like to fight..but if asked *may* participate a little until he stops caring.
Good friends with Battle Armor Superman.
Earth-24 Lantern Corps
-----------------------
Cyan Lantern Corps
Powered by Fascination
(Equiv. Green/Blue)
Much as the Green Lanterns with this Hal Jordan as their Number 1 Cyan Lantern. But also has auto defense abilities. see below.
Powered by Desire
(Equiv. Violet)
Encases people in a crystal of absolute sexual desire, when they emerge they either are willing subjects or have been granted a ring to do the same to others, can make simple light constructs, like a sword and shield, but nothing that has mechanical moving parts.
Peach is 'pale pinkish-yellow'.
Chino (Brown) Lantern CorpsPowered by Hubris
(Equiv. Orange)
Grants the wears auto defense light constructs,
making them pretty much invincible.
Chino is the same colour as a latte coffee.
Feldgrau (Grey-Green) Lantern Corps
Powered by National Pride/Self Respect
(Equiv. Red)
Grants the wears auto offensive light constructs,
making them pretty much invincible.
Feldgrau is the same colour as a washed out grey-green army uniform.
Grey Lantern Corps
Powered by Apathy
(Equiv. Black)
Grants the wears auto defense light constructs,
making them pretty much invincible.
Infects others who attack them, inasmuch the more they attack, it makes them more attractive to the ring, each attack chimes a very loud bell like sound and eventually a ring will come and place itself of the attacker. they will immediately chill out.
These Lantern Corps had their own equivalent 'Greyest Night Prophecy' which saw most of the 'Controllers of the Universe' wiped out, only a handful survived to guide the Cyan Lantern Corps to victory over the Grey Lanterns, however.. the Grey Lanterns had hid a number of huge Grey Lantern power batteries around the universe, which regularly send out Grey Lantern rings.
The Cyan Lanterns still pursue and destroy these batteries. But should they encounter a Grey Lantern, the Grey Lantern can drain their ring.. apathy being the opposite of fascination. The batteries can be destroyed with concentrated fascination, overloading the battery causing it to explode.
During 'Greyest Day' The Lantern Corps of Cyan and Feldgrau teamed up, aided by accident by the Chino Corps (whom Zander Luthor thought could destroy the Grey Lanterns alone) and again by accident by NiKNoQ of the Peach Lanterns (who was at the right place at the wrong time).

Note: I was getting Magenta and Peach colour names mixed up. I have now fixed this. 10th/Feb/2018
