The Religious Relics: What Are They?
wizard nelson:
Wasn't sure where to put this but since its indirectly about the 5 relics... In GS (with mort going up to Murphy's door) Harry cracks a joke about the justice league and 'here are the 5 cosmic super hero's of the universe!' including himself in the five. except Justice league has never had a simular opening anywhere and there are not 5 main characters I can directly classify as 'the team'. kinda a clue when you connect it later to the 5 holy relics and 5 cosmic stars in the sky in CH.
peregrine:
I'd have to track down the specific wording, but he is almost certainly referencing the Super Friends, which is Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.
wizard nelson:
I don't know, he does specifically say Justice League iirc though.
(Robin a cosmic super hero? lmao)
Eldest Gruff:
Was four anyway, not five.
--- Quote ---Ten minutes later, I was humming under my breath and watching the gathering in Murphy's living room. Sir Stuart stood beside me, his expression interested, curious.
"Beg pardon, wizard," he said, "but what is that tune you're trying to sing?"
I belted out the opening trumpet fanfare of the main theme and then said, in a deep and cheesy announcer's voice, "In the great Hall of the Justice League, there are assembled the world's four greatest heroes, created from the cosmic legends of the universe!"
Sir Stuart frowned at me. "Created from . . ."
"The cosmic legends of the universe," I repeated, in the same voice.
Sir Stuart narrowed his eyes and turned slightly away from me, his shoulders tight. "That makes no sense. None. At all."
"It did on Saturday mornings in the seventies, apparently," I said. I nodded at the room beyond the window. "And we've got something similar going on here. Though for a Hall of the Justice League, it looks pretty small. Real estate wasn't as expensive back then, I guess."

Super Friends, '73 to '74. Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman.

They called themselves the Justice League in the Superfriends. And Robin is a much a "cosmic superhero" as Batman and Aquaman.
But, per the quote (which I couldn't find because I entirely misread where he was) it's totally the Super Friends.
