Champions of Angor

History
First Appearance
The Champions of Angor first came into contact with the Justice League of America when Angor was attacked by a spacefaring robot, which they defeated and attempted to track back to its source. Meanwhile, a similiar robot attacked the Justice League on Earth, which they defeated and also tried to track. When the two teams met, each assumed the other was the enemy they had been looking for, and they fought. At the time they were composed of Wandjina, Silver Sorceress, Blue Jay and Jack B. Quick.
Post-Crisis Origin
After the crisis more of Angor's history was revealed. Before the Champions of Angor, there was another superhero team on Angor called The Assemblers, who were ultimately ineffective and too wrapped up in fame to stop any serious world threats. A team called The Extremists took hold of Angor's nuclear weapons, and used them to commit widespread genocide. At least Bowman and Captain Speed died during the holocaust. Remaining heroes Wandjina, Silver Sorceress and Blue Jay grouped to form The Champions of Angor, but were ultimately unable to save their world. In Justice League International #2, Wandjina, Blue Jay, and Silver Sorceress came to Earth to destroy all of its nuclear weapons. Eventually Wandjina sacrificed himself to prevent a meltdown in a Bialyan Reactor, and Silver Sorceress and Blue Jay gave themselves up to Russian authorities.
JLE and the Extremists
In Justice League Europe #15, Blue Jay and Silver Sorceress escaped from prison. Blue Jay went to the Justice League for help, and Silver Sorceress returned to Angor. A group of overly realistic amusement park robot duplicates, who believed themselves to be The Extremists, captured her and forced her to take them to Earth, where they intended to take control of all the world's nuclear weapons. After conflict with Justice League Europe, it was discovered that The Extremists were robots, and their creator, Mitch Wacky, was sent to Earth to shut them off. It was revealed that the original Dreamslayer, not being human, had survived the nuclear holocaust on Angor, and was working with the robot Extremists. He was defeated by Silver Sorceress. Afterwards, Blue Jay and Silver Sorceress joined the JLE.
Further History
Later, in Justice League Quarterly #3, Mitch Wacky was seen going back in time to prevent the destruction of Angor at the hands of The Extremists. There he met other members of the team (who now called themselves The Justifiers), including Tin Man, and T.A.. Afterwards, although still seen occasionally, the Champions of Angor became less and less used, and faded into obscurity.
