For those tentative that Nubia has what it necessitate to conduct the Justice League , one ought to look no further than theaforementionedAmazons Attackseries , where Nubia basically lead a super - squad of Amazons that ’s tantamount to the League . The likes ofYara Flor ( now formally Wonder Girl ) , Faruka of the Bana - Mighdall , other high - visibility Amazons , and even Mary Marvel get together the affray in the fight against Asylum as head by Nubia . Of course , it aid thatNubia is already the king of the Amazons , hence why taking orders from her come so naturally for the lodge Amazons .
Nubia has proven time and clip again that she has a command voice that anyone would be unforced to charge into fight for and take orders from .
However , any tiptop - squad demands a potent leader to get such an inflow of personalities to work together in harmony . Nubia is such a drawing card , someone who understands that her people , let in separate tribes of Amazon , are at their best when everyone is united as one team . Nubia has examine time and meter again that she has a commanding voicethat anyone would be willing to excite into battle for and take orders from .

The team immediately warms up to her upon meeting , so engender the DCU ’s most knock-down heroes to follow her as a drawing card should come with easiness .
Nubia has the vote of confidence from the world ’s honest superheroes .
Without formally , for good lending her assets to the Justice League , Nubia is already a someone of sake in requirement by the League . If not for the fact that theJustice League has temporarily ceased operationsfollowing the ending ofDark Crisis on Infinite Earths(which start not long after the Nubia team - up one - snapshot ) , the League in all likelihood would have double back by now to prove to make Nubia a permanent member already . Nubia has the vote of self-assurance from the world ’s best superheroes .
It ’s not hard to imagine how that collectivevested interest from the Justice League in Nubia ’s membership could one 24-hour interval evolve into a leadership invitation from the team . The Justice League will eventually return to the forefront of the DC Universe , but when it does , it should n’t be the same usual defendant .
