After most of the remaining JSA members (Hippolyta/Wonder Woman III, Spectre, Flash, Sentinel/Green Lantern, Wildcat, and Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt) teamed up with the Justice League in early 1999, they considered sticking together to train some of the new up-and-coming heroes (JLA #'s 28-31).

Several months later, Wesley Dodds, the Golden Age Sandman committed suicide in Tibet (JSA Secret Files #1). At his funeral, the remaining JSA members (Flash, Wildcat, Green Lantern/Sentinel, Johnny Thunder, Hippolyta/Wonder Woman III, and Starman) and several of their associates (Star-Spangled Kid II, Hourman III, Starman VII, Atom Smasher, Black Canary II, and Sandy The Golden Boy), were attacked by a group of undead monsters known as the Sons of Anubis, who were seeking the relics of former-JSA member Dr. Fate (JSA #1). This led the heroes on a quest to find the child who would grow up to be the next Dr. Fate.

Original members Flash, Green Lantern (now known as Sentinel), and Wildcat were joined by their younger associates to form the team's new lineup. Joined by Kendra Saunders (granddaughter of Speed Saunders, and grandniece of the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl) as the new Hawkgirl II, the team managed to locate the infant (JSA #2). That child was accelerated to maturity and became the new Dr. Fate (JSA #3), who turned out to be the reincarnation of Hactor Hall (previously known as the Silver Scarab and, briefly, the third Sandman, son of the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl). The heroes decided to reform the JSA and use the former Wesley Dodds' mansion as thier new base of operations.

Since the reformation of the JSA, Hippolyta/Wonder Woman III has returned to the Amazons, preferring to act as a reserve member. Sand (formerly Sandy The Golden Boy, the reorganized team's first new chairman) and Hourman III have met the new Mr. Terrific II (Michael Holt) (JSA #5), who may become a member of the team in the future. Dr. Mid-Nite III, who battled alongside the JSA against Obsidian (son of the Golden Age Green Lantern) (JSA #s7-9), is now a full member of the team. Hippolyta/Wonder Woman III has since become a reserve member and the Golden Age Starman, Ted Knight (the new team's science advisor), has passed away. Ted's son, Jack, the seventh to bear the name Starman, retired soon after.

Nearly a year and a half after reforming, Captain Marvel's former enemy, Black Adam, has begun hanging around with the team (JSA #20), apparently hoping to be offered membership. He assisted the team in thier mission which returned the original Hawkman to life (JSA #s 23-25), and has been considered a reserve member. Mr. Terrific II was recently elected the JSA's latest chairperson (JSA #27).
