News that Superman is to officially renounce his US citizenship in Action Comics #900 has brought to a head a question I have long been curious about- WHY does the Justice League of America (which the Man of Steel has been a founding member of) have the title "America"?
Can only US citizens be members? If so this would exclude Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter(well maybe not Aquaman as his father was reportedly American but definitely the other two). How about countries clearly allied to the US such as its NATO partners or Israel?
I do hope that this issue will be clarified!
PS even the JLA's Marvel counterpart, the Avengers use the phrase "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" rather than officially identify with a single nation state!
