The Justice Society Of America

[batguy]

I Would like to know how i can create an original version of the justice society of america in a game/fanfic world that uses the 1940s material as a seed.

I'd start by clarifying the question.

 

For example, what is "an original version of the Justice Society of America"? What is original about it? In what sense is it the JSA?

Here is what is original about it:it is a retro golden age super hero team,consisting of heroes based on the members of the jsa.

also,here is what sense it is the jsa:it is the first super team

Much depends on what is meant by "based on".  At one extreme you could just rename the JSA, so you'd have Dr. Destiny, Eagleman, The Vengeful Spirit, Sixty Minute Man, Viridian Lantern, and The Particle.  Or you could have new people inherit the JSA's equipment and powers, or alternate versions thereof, like a Dr. Fate clone whose powers stem from a Mayan mask instead of an Egyptian helmet.

 

Or you could just have original pulp superheroes.  The main thing that set the JSA apart was the pulp era.  So costumes feature high-waisted briefs, capes, Lone Ranger masks and/or full-head cowls.  And powers originate from pulp-era sources, so instead of radiation and nanotech, you have arcane science, forgotten gods, and supersoldier serums.  Other than that anything goes, really.
