captain: Man, I loves me a good superhero battle royale! Dynaman: Yeah, but it can be hard to tell who's on your side! captain: There are sides? Dynaman: you're beating up a good guy...
John K: “I wonder if the Justice League or the Avengers ever had days like this?”
Well, not with each other, but…
It’s an old superhero device that, when two good guys meet each other for the first time, each mistakes the other for a bad guy. Also, the Avengers have fought the Squadron Supreme, which was a thinly-disguised JLA from an alternate Earth. And the X-Men fought the Imperial Guard, which was (in its first appearance) an homage to the Legion of Superheroes. In that last one, the Guard were good guys in their own galaxy, although they were at that time in service to an evil Emperor (Lilandra’s brother, if I remember correctly).
On a side note, it looks like Jenn Erica got her superpowers back (Empowerment Lass?)
Half’s way better than I can do – I can ID 5 – Captain Victorious, Dynaman, Jenn Erica, Tyr, and Negato. I think the Batman expy has shown up before. Don’t recognize anyone else, and am really surprised by the lack of Ms Amazement.

“Fighting?” Looks like they’re posing to me…

You assume, Dynaman, that Captain Victorious is a good guy.
You may wish to check on that.

Is that a GORN from STAR TREK?

Have we actually seen all these characters in the strip before? I only recognize maybe half of them.
