Fictional history

The team was first formed in a one-shot, part of the "Girlfrenzy" Fifth week event, called Young Justice: The Secret, written by Todd DeZago, where they first encountered the mysterious superheroine Secret. They next appeared together in the Justice League miniseries, World Without Grown-Ups, also written by Dezago, in which a magical being moved all adults to an alternate world. This was when they first stumbled upon the abandoned Justice League Cave in Happy Harbor (formerly called "The Secret Sanctuary"). A fifth week event is a novelty comic book promotion. ...

When the ongoing title began in September 1998, the three heroes had formed a clubhouse in the Cave. However, in the first issue, they woke the robot superhero Red Tornado who continued to be a recurring character throughout the series' run, acting as something of a mentor. From issue 4 the group doubled in number with the addition of 3 teen superheroines: the second Wonder Girl, Secret, and Arrowette. Red Tornado is a fictional superhero in the DC Universe. ...

One of the key events of the series was the Young Justice: Sins of Youth fifth week event, which reversed the ages of young and old heroes thanks to Klarion the Witch-Boy and Doiby Dickles, former sidekick of Alan Scott and member of Old Justice. During this event, Superboy's girlfriend Tana Moon was killed, Wonder Girl decided to no longer use her wig, and Jack Knight (Starman) decided to give the Cosmic Rod to Courtney Whitmore, the second Star-Spangled Kid, who later became Stargirl. It also marked the transition between the original six and the new cast, with Empress joining right after this storyline and Li'l Lobo being created by it. Li'l Lobo was Lobo who was transformed into a teenager by the events of Sins of Youth. In this state, he joined Young Justice and eventually accompanied them to Apokolips, where he was killed in combat. However, the aforementioned magical accident had restored his ability to regrow from a single drop of blood, and millions of Lobos rushed into battle with Apokoliptian soldiers, whom the Lobos quickly defeated. The Lobos then turned on each other, until only one was left; in the process, the surviving Lobo regrew to adulthood. Any memory he may have of his days as a member of Young Justice will most likely be thought of as nothing more than a bad dream. A fifth week event is a novelty comic book promotion. ...

An additional teenage Lobo remained, however, having hidden from the fight; he rejoined Young Justice and chose to rename himself Slo-bo. Soon this clone began to degrade, first going blind. Before he could die, however, Darkseid teleported him to the headquarters of Young Justice One Million in the 853rd Century, turning him into a (still aware) statue in the process. Whether this will be the last ever seen of Slo-Bo is unknown. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...
