Bring on the Bad Guys: Mr. Memory

 Real name: Amos Fortune/Bruce Wayne

First appearance: Justice League of America I#14 (Sept. 1962)

Abilities: Via use of a De-Memorizar, can remove memories 

Worst act: Attempted murder, brainwashing

Quote: "That is why you took those pills--to protect your own memories! The side effect of the De-Memorizor blast caused everyone else on Earth to forget the person at whom you aimed!"

Created by: Gardner F. Fox (script), Mike Sekowsky (pencils), Bernard Sachs (inks) 

Big impact this story; first we have Ray Palmer (the Atom) officially joining the team. The crazy thing is, he has zero memory of just HOW that happened. He soon forgets about that too, as the entire population of Ivy Town just got shrunk, including himself. 

Mr. Memory, whoever he is, sets out forming his own gang.

Hector Hammond (Green Lantern): Here is where Hammond evolves himself into a 'man from the future', i.e. a big forehead. 

Pied Piper (Flash foe)

Sea-Thief (Aquaman foe) his only apperance by the way

Angle Man (Wonder Woman)

Dr. Davis (Green Arrow)

The Joker (sort of?)

Yeah, seems the Joker kidnapped Batman on the behest of Mr. Memory, who put his own costume over Bat's but apparently never bothered to look under the hood. 

Martian Manhunter and the Flash get to work as the JLA fights the assembled team manages to snap Batman out of his haze and quickly bust Fortune.
