Shadow runner

the youngest member of the team Drew Durden was playing a pretty much straight copy of legendary Drow assassin Drizzt Do'Urden (there's always one) he called shadow runner and wondered why everyone laughed and asked about cyber wear. 

since the spell he has gained the abilities of a Drow enhanced senses speed and agility and is able to surround him self with a cloud of utter darkness only he can see through. weilding twin scimitars and spells he's the teams stealth specialist. 

oops I missed the collective  backstory just pretend he got his powers from the spell but made up a more cyberpunk backstory lol

CYBERPUNK 20/20

Mick Lakewright was an IT consultant by day, punk rock singer until a pyrotechnic accident during a show cost him his eyes.

following extensive plastic surgery he was finally getting his life back in order

on disability and depressed because his loss of vision made it hard to follow either of his passions when an old college buddy offered him a chance to take part in an advanced prosthetic vision program he jumped at the chance.

the implantation worked perfectly the prototype neural interface linking his organic vision centers to the synthetic eyes gave him  20/20 vision once more and that would have been an end to it a modern medical marvel giving him his life back if his vision didn't keep getting better.

it started small he realized he could see the infrared communication between his TV and the remote soon it wanst just his vision that was affected he could "hear" his router .  after several days of thinking he was going mad he spoke to the project doctors and discovered the truth the neural interface was an adaptive Neural network and the programming had worked a little too well instead of merely adapting the feed for normal human vision it had interfaced all of the signals it could receive to his brain  including the Diagnostics wi-fi channel.

Mick quickly discovered the power of his new senses from thermal vision to his ability to think wifi commands and became the most sought-after IT troubleshooter in the city. which is how he ended up kidnapped to fix a computer problem with a super-villains doomsday weapon.

using his abilities to escape and thwart the villain's plot brought him to the attention of a local superhero team now Mick is the go-to It consultant for the superhero world.

so by day, Mick fixes superheroic IT problems by Night is the mirror-shades wearing badass battling rogue AI and techno-ninjas with his Cybernetic eyes and the custom smart pistol fired with his mind. at the weekends schedule permitting he plays gigs with his band.

the outskirts of Mecca would actually be an ideal location for mass teleportation of disaster victims as the Saudi government already has huge warehouses containing water food and clothing for the pilgrims. 

death tribble technically your the fourth as I wrote up  iron halo straight after creating the team then got distracted and forgot to post  lol so its all yours

Iron halo aka the Saint of Nails.

Svetlana Kovalenko was born in war daughter of a Russian deserter and a Pashtu mother in Afghanistan. her life was actually fairly idyllic before war came again to her home the Taliban pushed out of their strong holds and came to her remote mountain village when she was just 12. her father tried to fight them but he was too old and out of practice and the Taliban fighters to numerous. Svetlanas father was captured and as the village was forced to watch as he was to be executed. Svetlana watched in horror as the Taliban pointed their guns at her father. stricken with fear as they where about to fire she screamed and the fighters guns exploded turning into so much flying shrapnel. the survivors fled and Svetlana and her father where forced to do the same. over the next few years her father would teach her everything he knew of combat while she learnt to master her new talent of ferrokinesis able to manipulate iron and steel. svetlana began to hunt Taliban guilty of atrocities protecting the small Christian and over communities of Afghanistan early on she was in a fire fight with Taliban on a building site when she started to run out of the knives she had been using and switched to 9 inch nails this would become her signature weapon a disc of 20 or so rotating above her head ready to fly at any moment. her long black coat in also lined with more of them which allow her lift her self and fly. Svetlana tries to avoid killing pinning her enemies to walls for preference but has no problem with lethal force when required. 

ok new team HALO 

FOUR female heroes with Halo's that simple disc shape above head (no restrictions could be high tech, mystical, physical or energy even attached to a hair band by a spring) 

TRIBE

While the rest of team represent the hard sciences Trish Trilby represents the social sciences. growing up with her UN aid worker parents traveling the world she discovered a gift for languages and a love of discovery of different cultures. eventually she would become an anthropologist/linguist specializing in remote cultures. during her PHd study in the deep Amazon she discovered a previously un-contacted tribe when she saved the village wise woman's granddaughter from illegal Loggers she was welcomed to the tribe she spent 2 years with the tribe before the wise woman revealed the tribes greatest secret a berry from a tree that allowed them to enter an enhanced mental state and learn languages, skills and  martial techniques in hours. for the next few years Trish traveled the world diving into the cultures of tribes from Africa to Australia and Mongolia to Mogadishu. her ability to quickly adopt the mannerisms and accent of a local learn their skills and seem like she had lived their all her life learning things no outsider ordinarily could made her a world renowned expert on aboriginal cultures. when a conference she was attending was assaulted by ARGENT agents looking to steal an Aztec ceremonial costume containing meteoric fragments of a previously unknown metal. Trish escaped the initial round up and Prowled the halls of the convention center quickly subduing Agents using stealth skills from urban explorers, Argentinian Goucho throwing skills, Maori martial arts . when the authorities arrived to deal with the situation they found it resolved. and Trish was invited to join QUEST. she now has three Doctorates linguistics, Anthropology and KIcking BUTT

the military applications are pretty terrifying beyond the obvious logistics benefits IE a courier could carry the supplies for an entire battalion or carrier battle group in their pocket hugely increased operational time for spec ops etc.

the possibilities for asymmetric warfare are impressive if a DCC can be opened remotely you could destroy a building with one guy a kite and a few metric tonnes of rocks. 99 red balloons drifting over a city each releasing a few tonnes each would be like an artillery barrage or start a fire storm with gasoline. the together you can get the unit the more devastating the impact imagine a high altitude weather balloon dropping I beams from the edge of space .

on the other hand the environmental possibilities are equally good landfills become a thing of the past just dump your waste in  DCC until it can be recycled. the  costs of shipping drop nearly exponentially and pollution from cargo ships basically disappear even if it was illegal to transfer DCC by air high speed ocean ships could transport a world of supplies in a fraction of the time of their gigantic brethren. big rigs and cargo trains also vanish replaced with motor bike/cycle couriors. pipe line/tankers spills are also basically eradicated the possibilities for Carbon sequestration are interesting also

After the highly publicized capture of Hugh Coffer the Nowhere Man a prolific serial killer who was only discovered when he attempted to kidnap a victim with a previously unknown mutant power . the Horror show of his DCC filled with artfully arranged mutilated corpses caused a mass panic about what people where storing in their DCC. followed by it being a major plot point on TV shows until it becomes a worn out trope.

the war on drugs is essentially lost over night when anyone can walk over a border with a metric tonne of drugs in their pocket.

DCC are banned on all federally regulated transporty methods after the first incident when soem oen accidentally opens one on a plane fortunatly they where storing a motorcycle not a back hoe.

bank robberies and terrorist attacks where a full arsenal can be easily smuggled into a secure compound for that matter DCC as terrorist weapon fill a large capacity DCC with Water or sand etc and empty it in a confined space .

i imagine the manufacturers would be required either to provide a means of detection or to very strictly license sales

Captain Terra

Capt. Terry Hauptmann USMC volunteered for an experimental super-soldier program. the process implanted an advanced ultra compact super computer linked to hardwired reflex enhancements and cybernetic sensory upgrades.

the process was extremely successful he became with his super human reflexes and the implanted computers ability to process data giving him both a tactical and strategic ability.

Heinrich Bernholt Von DRACHEN,Cardinal of the North code name HBD.

He can also summon other mythical creatures from imps to fae but his preference is always Dragons.

HERE BE DRAGONS

there are many hidden places lost cities secret tunnels and mystical pathways across the world and there is an organization that wants to keep them that way the black cartographers of the library of shadows their four field agents map these hidden ways acquire exclusive information and prevent others from discovering the libraries secrets.

while there are four agents for each of the cardinal directions their powers and codenames do not have to be tied to that. 

IC

The Twelve  Knights of Christmas 

12 suits of mystical armour imbued with the spirit of the season appear each year to grant the power to defend the season from all those that would ruin it. though they are called the twelve knights of Christmas they draw their power from all of the seasonal traditions from Diwali and Hanukkah to ancient traditions like Yule and Saturnalia.

Mimic from the eXiles series is a pretty flexible choice with the ability to copy up to 5 powers at half power I'm fond of his standard load out most of his appearances, he retains the powers of Wolverine, Colossus, Cyclops, Beast and Northstar .
