Super Young Team

Super Young Team is a Japanese superhero team in the DC Universe. Their first appearance was in Final Crisis Sketchbook #1, created by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones.

The Super Young Team is a second-generation team of superheroes in Japan. In their civil identities, they come off as fashion-obsessed party-goers, in love with the Tokyo nightclub scene, while in reality, they are powerful superheroes. The team is made up of five members; its leader, Most Excellent Super-bat, a huge fan of Batman and Superman whose power is his extreme wealth; Big Atomic Lantern Boy, Most Excellent Super-bat's second in command; Shy Crazy Lolita Canary, a minuscule girl (small enough to fit in someone's hand) who always wears a Sailor Fuku; Shiny Happy Aquazon, the daughter of Junior Waveman (her mother) and Senior Waveman Otomo (her father); and Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash, a young speedster.


 * Badass Normal: Most Excellent Superbat.
 * Big Eater: When describing the characters, writer Joe Casey says that Big Atomic Lantern Boy "likes to eat".
 * Captain Ersatz: Ultimon is this to Ultraman.
 * Chest Blaster: Big Atomic Lantern Boy's superpower, with the added ability to control the intensity and the type of radiation emitted.
 * Crimefighting with Cash: Most Excellent Superbat describes this as his power
 * Dark Age of Supernames: Very averted.
 * Did Not Do Research / Critical Research Failure: A bizarrely rare Morrison example, as the other "previous" Japanese Superteam he uses is highly researched and a fun Mashup of American Superheroics and Japanese Anime. Shy Crazy Lolita not dressing in lolita and screaming the wrong word is mind bogglingly off for him.
 * Dogged Nice Guy: Big Atomic Lantern Boy in his pining after Shiny Happy Aquazon.
 * Fad Super
 * Fan Boy: Virtually every member has showcased a degree of fandom regarding famous heroes; Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash describes a maneuver as "a Wally West classic", Shiny Happy Aquazon talks about Justice League miniatures in Akihabara, etc.
 * Fun Size: Shy Crazy Lolita Canary.
 * Green Lantern Ring: Shiny Happy Aquazon's power is essentially this.
 * Good Wings, Evil Wings: Shy Crazy Lolita Canary has a single pair of angel wings.
 * Make Me Wanna Shout: Shy Crazy Lolita Canary's power.
 * Making a Splash: Aquazon's power, hence her name.
 * Sailor Fuku: Shy Crazy Lolita Canary's costume.
 * Super Speed: Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash's power.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Lantern Boy and Aquazon both have green hair.
