Captain Stalwart: The larger-than-life hero. Cape, heroic chin, and confident grin. Flight, Class-A super strength, invulnerability, and a knack for always doing the right thing. He's put down some of the most legendary and notorious bad guys in the world.

Whippoorwill: Winged flier and phenomenal combatant. Uses a signature whip and throwing weapons called quills with a variety of effects. Has a dark past that inspires her to seek redemption and drives her always towards heroics.

Tenfold: Super-strong duplicator. Absorbs sonic energy to power his ability to generate up to nine copies of himself. However, that power also prevents him from hearing, so he is effectively deaf even though his ears work fine.

Ragnarok: Bruiser, fighter, frequent companion to Gothic. Has a motor mouth and seemingly no ability or desire to not say whatever's on his mind. Maybe that's why Gothic tolerates him.

The Wombat: Scrapper and fighter, frequent mercenary. Originally from Australia. Regenerative powers and an iron will.

Lucidity: Seer, oracle, and prophet. Has cosmic awareness -- able to view her own and others' lives across the multiverse. A bit spacey.
