Up first is "Justice League vs. The Fatal Five" In this story we find time traveling and new allies and enemies when a hero from the future Starboy (Elyes Gabel) travels into the past to our present day Justice League in the hopes of stopping members of a group called The Fatal Five consisting of Tharok (Peter Jessop), Emerald Empress (Sumalee Montano), Validus (Bruce Timm), Mano (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) and The Persuader (Matthew Yang King) from going after the newest Green Lantern to join the Justice League Jessica Cruz (Diane Guerrero) a young woman who battles psychological problems linked to a traumatizing event but who ha
