you got it! it was Blue Jay!
Rolf Heimlich is appointed UN Liaison to the JLI branches. Heimlich is secretly Queen Bee's drone, and tries to subtly undermine the League. Captain Atom is fired for insubordination; and is replaced by Blue Jay - much to everyone's surprise, including Blue Jay's!
Elongated Man and Blue Beetle are fired for being "useless" and incompetent, while Ice is fired for being too "shy" and "passive" to be a hero.
Rolf was a fairly convincing mole, as his reasons for firing the four were actually above-board and reasonable. He even replaced Ice and Beetle with Dr. Light and Tasmanian Devil, to keep the JLA from being shorthanded,

I remember that now but sure didn't before you described the story. Totally forgot about Blue Jay.

Blue Jay does tend to be overlooked

Well he's a little guy I guess I remembered Ice and Beetle getting booted off the team during Breakdowns (and poor Little Mermaid of course) but I forgot about all the JLE stuff! Okay, new question! What was the (at the time) unique reason for the Avengers inviting Falcon to join the team?

was it... affirmative action?
ah poor Mermaid... they did retcon her to be alive in JLE 50 (her evil twin died instead!), but that retcon seems to have been retconned away...

It was affirmative action! They did some interesting stuff with Sam feeling a bit out of his depth and tokenistic, but he showed that he deserved his place on the team IMO
All yours IB!

sounds like a good outcome in the end, and sounds like they were realistic about Sam's path! from how you describe, anyway let's see... in DC vs. Vampires, who does away with Andrew Bennett and Zan?

Just throwing out a guess, but if Zan is involved...is it Jayna?

clue: this character is one of the "big guns" good guys, so it was particularly shocking that this character was the murderer
