At the end of the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover, after the Anti-Monitor had been defeated and the multiverse had been rebuilt and restored, fans saw the main heroes of Earth-Prime officially form an alliance to defend the multiverse from any future threats. While they never officially referred to themselves as the Arrowverse's "Justice League," it's pretty clear that was what they were.
Much like the Justice League in both the movies and comics, the Arrowverse team features characters from wildly different backgrounds, who all have differing levels of experience, skill, and power. However, they do share one common goal: wanting to protect the world, even if some members are far more equipped to do that than others.
8 Batwoman
Kate Kane became the protector of Gotham after taking over for her cousin, Bruce Wayne. Like the original Bat, Kate has no powers but instead relies on hand-to-hand combat and uses a utility belt full of various gadgets including grappling guns, a bo staff, and specially made batarangs to fight opponents. She also received training from the Point Rock Military Academy and is skilled in several martial arts including Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Judo.
While it has been confirmed that she isn't as good of a fighter as Bruce, she was able to subdue a disoriented Barry Allen and Oliver Queen when they were exposed to fear toxin and believed they were facing their worst enemies (when they were actually just fighting each other).
7 Green Arrow
Although he was dead during the official formation of the League, Oliver Queen is made an honorary member of the group by its founder Barry Allen. During the 5 years he spent away from Star City, Oliver became a master archer, master martial artist, and an expert survivor. While he is a sharpshooter and is equally as skilled with firearms, Oliver prefers to use a bow, which is the weapon he was trained on. In addition to regular arrows, he also uses several types of trick arrows including flashbang arrows, tranquilizer arrows, and dozens more.
While he has had superhuman powers before, (such as when he counteracted Dark Magic with Light Magic thanks to a tattoo he received from John Constantine), he received a major upgrade after his first death when he received the powers of Spectre. As fans know, this allowed him to defeat the Anti-Monitor and recreate the entire multiverse from scratch.
6 Sara
After surviving two shipwrecks, Sara was rescued by the League of Assassins, who she trained with for 5 years before returning to Star City as a vigilante. There, she became a skilled martial artist as well as a master of weapons, primarily with swords and knives (although she usually uses a bo-staff in combat).
While she doesn't usually have any powers beyond her training, she has temporarily had abilities (like when she was briefly possessed by the time demon, Mallus, or when she gained the power to see into the near future). She is also one of the few Arrowverse characters to come back from the dead multiple times due to the Lazarus pit as well as magic.
5 Black Lightning
After taking a tainted vaccine, Jefferson Pierce gained metahuman abilities of electrokinesis at a young age. Pierce charges his abilities using nearby power sources, which he finds by using electrical vision and can do a wide range of things with his electrical manipulation. His most common attack is to use it as a projectile to throw balls and blasts of electricity at his opponents.
He can also move objects and people without touching them using electromagnetism and even create constructs made of pure energy. Like most metahumans, Jefferson is also susceptible to power-dampening technology, which can completely remove his powers for short periods of time. He originally couldn't use his powers without wearing his Black Lightning suit since it would kill him, but he now seems to be able to use them freely without risk.
4 Superman
Since Clark Kent is a Kryptonian, he gets his powers from being exposed to radiation from the Earth's sun (which grants him superhuman senses, freeze breath, heat vision, and bulletproof skin). However, his two primary abilities seem to be his superstrength and his flight. He is also shown to be fast enough to race to the other side of the planet in mere minutes.
While he isn't as strong as Kara, he has been able to take down other Kryptonians like Zod, whom he was able to kill in their final battle. However, that doesn't mean that Clark doesn't share a series of weaknesses - including exposure to the deadly mineral, Kryptonite, or radiation from a blue or red sun.
3 The Flash
Barry Allen got his metahuman abilities after being doused in a series of chemicals and then being exposed to dark matter when a particle accelerator exploded. This is what gave him a connection to the speed force and the title of the"fastest man alive."
As a result of his superspeed, Barry can also do a whole lot of other incredible things. He can travel between Earths and he can phase through solid objects by vibrating his molecules. Barry can also throw lightning and can travel through time.
He received an increase in speed after the restoration of the speed force, which allowed him to take on the villain, Mirror Monarch, who was capable of moving at superliminal speed. He has also taken on and defeated several other speedsters like Zoom, Savitar, and the Reverse-Flash.
2 Supergirl
Kara Zor-El is the second Kryptonian on the team and has the exact same powers as her cousin but is slightly more powerful than him, despite him having more experience.
While she is incredibly strong physically, she has fallen victim to mind control herself on numerous occasions (which she managed to overcome). She was shown to be durable enough to survive a direct blast from an exploding supernova and resist blasts from the Red Daughter, a copy of her that was created when she used Black Kryptonite.
1 Martian Manhunter
J'onn J'onzz has to be considered one of the most powerful characters on the team. Due to his physiology, he has incredible control over his molecules, allowing him to shapeshift so that he can pose as a human as well as turn invisible and change his density so that he can pass through solid objects. J'onn also has several psychic abilities, including mind control, telepathy, and telekinesis.
He has the most versatile powerset of anyone on the team which also makes him one of the strongest beings on the planet. Despite how powerful he is, J'onn still has several weaknesses, with the most powerful one being fire (which can force his body to revert to his true form).
