Cool post - I always look forward to these.
I never heard of The Elite before - sounds like a cool run.
The Avengers/JLA crossover still irritates me. First - I don't think Thor should have lost to Supes. But if Supes had to win (because he's THE icon), I would have written him having a shattered hand and being so beaten down after the fight with Thor and the subsequent Avengers rumble that he remained unconscious for a goodly while afterwards.
Thor on the other hand would have woken up immediately, shaken his head and headed straight back into battle (with a pic of Supes lying unconscious in the background
)
