try applying unicode to its elements

>>> lst=['Justice league', 'Avenger']
>>> map(unicode,lst)
[u'Justice league', u'Avenger']

Obviously we are talking about Python 2 only, since literal strings are unicode by default in Python 3

Have a look at this Q&A on the same subject

Use the built in unicode function with a list comprehension:

x = ['Justice league', 'Avenger']
answer = [unicode(item) for item in x]
