"Why do we even need it? I mean, how often does the world almost come to an end?"

—Black Lightning to the team^[src]

A team of vigilantes was formed by Barry Allen following the conclusion of the Anti-Monitor Crisis in honor of Oliver Queen, who sacrificed himself to give birth to the new multiverse. While Oliver is not an official member due to him not surviving to see its formation, he is considered by the others to be one because of his noble sacrifice.

Overview

The Crisis team is a succession to both The Trinity and Paragons. It is a collection of 7 heroes of Earth-Prime including the Flash, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, Superman, White Canary, and Black Lightning, as well as their honorary member, Green Arrow. The team was created to protect Earth from anyone who means to cause it harm but is too powerful for one hero to handle on their own.

History

Foundation

Behind the scenes

• The team is based on the Justice League. While the founding members in the Arrowverse are the Flash, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, Superman, White Canary, and Black Lightning, the classic founding members in the comics are Aquaman, Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman.
  • The only founding members constant between the two are the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Superman. However, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Canary, and Black Lightning have been members over the years in the DC comics.
  • The team's headquarters is a reference to the Hall of Justice, which is a headquarters for the Justice League.
    • In the Supergirl episode "Back From the Future - Part One", Winn Schott referred to the team's headquarters as "a Hall of Justice" when he visited from a possible future.
