Appearance Types

Featured Characters -- The stars of the story. Mostly super heroes, sometimes super villains. With this index most of the featured characters are whichever members of the League appear in that story, but sometimes the villains will get a rare spotlight issue.

Villains -- Fairly self explanatory. These are the bad guys who are fighting the Featured Characters. Does not include incidental cameos or "non-combatant" appearances.

Guest Stars -- Heroes from other teams, books, or universes who appear, but are not currently a member of the JLA and who make a significant appearance in the story.

Supporting Cast -- Reoccuring civilian characters, e.g. Oberon, Sue Dibny, etc.

Other Characters -- Any non-reoccuring character that has a significant appearance, but is not a guest star.

Cameoed -- Significant characters of any sort who only have a momentary appearance. In a few panels of a flashback or on a monitor screen. Normally without dialogue.

Goons -- People, henchmen, groups of generic individuals who are not differentiated, but who have an impact on the story, e.g. Guardians of the Universe, the police, the Joker's Henchmen, etc.
