The League

The original JLA members were:

two Greek myths, an Amazon and an Atlantean;
two cosmic forces, speed and light;
two extraterrestrial exiles, a Martian and a Kryptonian;
one masked avenger, soon to be joined by one costumed adventurer.

Arguably, the non-super-powered avenger and adventurer do not belong in a superhero team but there is another perspective. Launching the League required someone with money. In Smallville, that is Queen. In the films, it is Wayne. The Justice League film includes an evocative scene where Wayne inquires about "the Aquaman."
