Players can select three members from a roster of twelve Young Justice TV series characters to play in the game's fifteen different levels.[6] They can also switch their control among the three active characters while playing. Each character has a unique set of special abilities to use on the battlefield as well as certain strengths and weaknesses that define that character's role during battle. Characters and their abilities level up as they progress through missions. Every character also has at least three costumes that change both the character's appearance and how they play. Also, the player can buy equipment from Red Tornado and train with Black Canary. Certain missions have the player fighting with the assistance of Justice Leaguemembers, such as Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Batman. The game also features several unlockable modes, in which players are presented with certain tasks to accomplish.[7]
