Day 1: Oliver Queen, while talking to the press about his mayoral candidacy in Star City, receives a call on his Justice League communicator from Firestorm, who asks him to join the latest version of the Justice League. The new team includes Super-Chief, Bulleteer, Firehawk, and Ambush Bug. Queen declines.

Day 2: In the Justice League's one-time headquarters in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, the Martian Manhunter reflects on his success in destroying Checkmate (through his infiltration of the government under various aliases). Meanwhile, he sculpts a memorial to fallen Justice League members.

Synopsis for "The Origin of Booster Gold"

The origin of Booster Gold is revealed.

Notes

This issue shipped on October 18th, 2006.

On story page 12, top left panel, there's a character who looks a lot like Nightwing... it's not clear who, exactly, that might be.

The two-page origin story in this issue states that Skeets "possesses no combat capabilities." However, this information is attributed to the "Justice League Archives," which would explain the discrepancy between the description of Skeets and his very combative capabilities in the main story. Editor Michael Siglain, on Newsarama.com, explained it thusly: "When Skeets was created, he didn't have any combat capabilities, but he was created with independent thought, meaning that he could've upgraded himself... and obviously did."

Beyond those who are identified by name, there are at least another dozen Everyman Project subjects in this issue. Some are seen for the first time only as they are being killed, while others are seen in the background and apparently survive Skeets's attack.

Trivia

The following characters are featured in the Secret Sanctuary memorial to fallen Justice League members, as seen on story page 7 in this issue:

Amazing Man
Antaeus (represented by helmet only)
Aztek
Blue Beetle
Booster Gold
Crimson Fox
Crimson Fox (Vivian d'Aramis)
Crimson Fox (Constance d'Aramis)
Flash (Barry Allen)
General Glory
Hippolyta
Ice
Maxima
Red Tornado
Rocket Red (Dimitri Pushkin)
Sue Dibny
Tomorrow Woman
Silver Sorceress (The 'antenna' on her helmet are not colored correctly)
Vibe
Yazz

There are other characters featured in the memorial that can not be definitively identified. However, various websites and bloggers have suggested the following:

On the far left, the shoulder and arm seen above Aztek's mask likely belong to Steel (Hank Heywood III), who was mortally wounded in Justice League of America (Volume 1) #260 and killed off in Justice League America #37.
On the far right, the partial helmet see above Antaeus's helmet likely belongs to Mystek, who died in Justice League Task Force #32.
Also on the far right, the shoulder seen above Hippolyta likely belongs to Major Disaster, who died in Infinite Crisis #7.
Also on the far right, the wing seen above Hippolyta likely belongs to either Hawkman (Katar Hol) or Zauriel. They both have multiple deaths and resurrections in their histories, however, and, following Infinite Crisis, DCU continutity is largely uncharted, so it's anyone's guess as to which character it is and which "death" is being memorialized.

At least two characters featured in the memorial have since been resurrected. Ice returns in Birds of Prey #104, and Red Tornado, who reappears in a semi-functional state in Week 17, is fully revived following One Year Later events.

It's pretty hard to tell which Everyman Project subjects bite the bullet (or eat the death ray, you might say) in this issue's melee; however, it appears that at least three named characters are among the dead: E.S. Pete, Gladiator Giant and Crimson Ghost, all of whom appear to die on story page 15.

Fans who took a liking to Poledancer, introduced in this issue, may be relieved to know that she apparently survives Skeets's attack. We see what appears to be her backside on story page 16, to the right of Ambush Bug.

The ticker-tape at the bottom of the cover reads, "Martian Manhunted!... THE GREAT TEN RETURN!... Ollie for Mayor!... "
