My Dream Outsiders Team

What i believe to be the best pick for an Outsiders team

The series went off the rails after issue 25, but up until then it was only average at best.
And with the 52 reboot, it seems that it won't be returning which may be a good thing.
With given better creative vision i can see the Outsiders team being a really good book.  

-My idea-
By focusing on it as more of a Justice League without the scope it could make for a really interesting arc. Have the team solving small scale crimes that the Justice League assigns them in order to keep them out of the way. The are not young and inexperienced like Young Justice, but they are dangerous to be left to their own devices. They look up and see huge battles happening above the earth while they're done solving a gang problem. The scope is so small and that's what messes with them. They operate out of an apartment building in which they all live in a floor/single apartment (with comparison to the JL's satellite).  They would stay as a single unchanging team that would develop in a way that is needed, only changing the lineup in the event of a death. They talk to each other by their real Names, no secrets. The members are all siblings/equals. A team formed and funded by Batman, but not run by him, a team of newcomers and old-timers who are seen as people that need to be preoccupied in order to keep them out of trouble. A team that supports and respects one another even if they don't always get along.

List items

  • Jeff Pierce. Messed up in the League but to valuable to throw aside, forced to lead this team even though he sees them as useless at first, grows to love them and refuses to rejoin the league. He is the veteran and leader (although not the age of Metamorpho) Powers do not include flying.

  • As the Kryptonian robot version. Back on Krypton he was programmed with defending the Kryptonian race, but failed when the planet was destroyed. He survived however and is coming to grips with his new home and new assignment.

    Is there on League duty to make sure everything runs smoothly. Is capable of extreme power (similar to that of Superman although not nearly as powerful) so in extreme danger instructs rest to run while he takes care of problem, of course they don't run.

  • In Kirk Langstorm form. Deaf in one ear. Still struggling with the Man-Bat killing his wife. Is like the oracle of the group. Stays in the lab and instructs them through com. His condition is unknown to the group. He is placed within the Outsiders by Batman who sees it as an easy job that will keep him out of trouble and from turning back into the Man-Bat. Although he grows emotionally attached to the group and his 'condition' is revealed when he reverts back into Manbat in order to help his teammates.

  • She was raised by assassins and killed a man at a young age. She is constantly trying to make up for the one death by saving hundreds. Constantly feels inadequate compared to other superheroes.

    She doesn't wear her bat symbol. She has fighting crime anonymously in China since becoming estranged from her adoptive father Bruce. She believes Bruce to have done her wrong by leaving when he did and so despite fighting in a group he created, refuses to wear the icon.

    She is a strong fighter just like her father

  • Rex Mason. Old-timer. Been around for many years and is out of retirement. Cynical and depressed. He is getting older and weaker.

    His powers would be stepped done, he can manipulate his own particles but cannot create something out of nothing, eg. growing bigger or smaller.

  • Jack Ryder. Extremely loyal yet insane. Split personality, changes randomly. The normal Jack persona is depressed and always appears hungover as if the Creeper is a huge strain on him.

  • Half Amazonian, but abandoned by them at birth. Asian American, pacific island and Greek tattoos. Fraction of Amazonian power eg. strength not flight. Grew up in prostitution ring and learnt about her powers when she finally fought back, and has never stopped fighting.

I found it hard to narrow it done to this smallish team. Ones on the side-line that i almost added in; Rocket, Deadman, Hardware, Jade, Mister Terrific, Captain Marvel Jnr.
