'Honestly, the initial impetus came from Dan DiDio, who called one day and said, "I'd like to see you take on these characters." This was not a title that I'd even been thinking of, because the iconic Bwa-ha-ha JLI are a bit beyond the kind of material I've usually written. But doing something you haven't done before is always part of the allure, part of the challenge.' - Ron Marz

If that's the JLI of the time, then I think they were seriously underestimated

Normally I would agree, but that is The Kingdom they are up against right? I don't think any JLA this side of JLA 1 million is beating The Kingdom.

I've never read the Kingdom stories but serious Captain Atom and J'ohn should be a match for Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel

Is Nightstar more powerful than Starfire? Jade's an average GL

Wait you have never read The Kingdom specifically or you have never read any of the Kingdom Come stuff at all? Because if you have never read Kingdom Come you my friend are in for a treat.

If you have read Kingdom Come and still think the JLI is a match for the Kingdom Come folks we are just going to have to agree to disagree. AFAIK The power levels of folks in The Kingdom were pretty much the same as what they were shown to be in the Kingdom Come storyline.

You should give it a chance, it's a terrific story and it's written by Mark Waid.

They should be a good fight I'd say, but I'd still bet on WW & CM.

Nightfire's about as powerful as Starfire, and Jade's a solid GL, and do they even need more than that? JLI doesn't have anyone else who can take on a GL solo (or even in pairs), *maybe* RT could take on Nightfire, but the Kingdom folk have the numbers edge anyway.

I mean, I'm sure the JLI put up a fight, but they were legit outgunned by respectable foes who knew all of their powers and what to expect.

I love that when Ted meets himself, they crack jokes and work together.
