Collection: Justice League Elite

In Justice League Elite comic books, the Justice League formed the squad to perform black ops that would not be acceptable for the JLA to "sully their hands" with. The Justice League Elite are a not-exactly-sanctioned, don't-ask-don't-tell, covert operations unit-- to hunt and eliminate extra-normal threats to the earth before they go public. The team was formed at the end JLA #100 from most of the second incarnation of The Elite, members of the JLA and a couple of spies/assassins.
