Earth's Mightiest Heroes and a group that protects civilization from the wrath of badness. The Freedom League and its predecessor in the Liberty League is a group that everyone in the world knows about. They've stopped alien invasions, giant robots, extra-dimensional excursions, and their alternate counterparts in the Crime League.

For the past fifteen years since they reformed in the wake of the Centurion's death, the Freedom League has tried to fill Mark Leed's shoes. To be honest, the results have been decidedly mixed with an ever changing roster and significantly less success without their iconic member.

Captain Thunder's attempts to adopt the Centurion's costume as his heir apparent are interpreted by some with bemusement (kindly) and something bordering on outright insulting (hostile). The fact that Captain Thunder was a great superhero in his own right before he attempted to fulfill the Centurion's shoes only makes it more sad.

Recently, the Freedom League made a startling announcement. They were going to formally adopt a United Nations sponsorship and move to a satellite space station above the planet in order to monitor for global crises. This move has been less than popular in Freedom City as it leaves the city ripe for plucking.

Furthermore, many argue that this is just an attempt to curtain the Freedom League's own autonomy (which is true). Nevertheless, as of June 1st 2008. The City of Freedom was without her protectors for good.
