Super Buddies
Super Buddies are a team of comic book superheroes in the DC Comics universe who appear in the six-issue ''Formerly Known as the Justice League'' miniseries in 2003, and its 2005 sequel, ''I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League'' (published in ''JLA Classified''). The team is put together by former Justice League bank roller Maxwell Lord as a superhero team "accessible to the common man".

DeMatteis, and artists Kevin Maguire and Josef Rubinstein. Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire had previously created the tongue-in-cheek ''Justice League International'' comic book in the 1990s, and revived a similar style of comedy as that series featured. ''Formerly Known as the Justice League'' Most of the Super Buddies recruited by Maxwell Lord and his robot sidekick L-Ron are former members of Justice League In ...
