History

The Guardians are similar to the Justice League as they are also committed to fighting crime around the world. Unlike the League, however, they have only appeared in a few comics. Many of the Guardians individually assisted other international heroes in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. Part of the team was brainwashed by the Queen Bee of Bialya and were directed to battle the Justice League. Several members of the team later joined the Justice League. A number of the team's members were killed by Fain Y'onia, an ancient foe of their leader, Doctor Mist. The Guardians meet in the Dome, which was formerly in Europe but is now in the Pacific.
