Ha ha, the Giffen/DeMatteis JL stuff was my way into that franchise, so every time DC's like We Have To Take This Team Seriously, I'm like But Why. (If you're not reading it, I'd highly recommend the recently-concluded "Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville" mini-series. Total JLI vibes, to death.)

I don't believe it's a spoiler to say, but my memory is that they did not go in that direction. I'm pretty sure I'm remembering it correctly, simply because that was the single hope I was holding onto as Wakana's turn made less and less sense as the series inched towards its conclusion. If they'd gone that way, I can guarantee I wouldn't be fuming about it so many years later.
