Line 11:
* '''Dr. Val "Flatman" Ventura''': Team deputy leader. Very flat, and [[Rubber Man|stretchy]]. Often mistaken for the [[Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four's Dr. Reed Richards]]. Recently came out of the closet. [[Mutant]].
* '''Ashley "Big Bertha" Crawford''': The team's original source of funding, she's [[Overly Narrow Superlative|the greatest swimsuit model in all of Wisconsin]]. Her powers allow her to shape the fat on her body as she pleases ([[Most Common Superpower|explaining her supermodeling]]), and the ability to add "superbulk" to her body, though she has to [[Unfortunate Implications|throw it up to get rid of it]]. Mutant.
* '''Demarr "Doorman" Davis''': Originally a mutant with the power to teleport things [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|through his body]] ([[Arbitrary Maximum Range|but only to the next room]]), he eventually took over [[Grim Reaper|Deathurge's job]] when [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Oblivion]] noticed his powers tapped into the ''Darkforce Dimension.'' [[Token Minority|Token black member]].
* '''Dinah Soar''': Member of an otherwise unknown race of pink flying reptiles. She is able to speak to only one person at a time; she chose [[Interspecies Romance|Mr. Immortal]]. She communicated with the other members of the team via a whistle. Killed in ''GLA #1''.
Line 47:
* [[Blessed With Suck]] - Mr. Immortal.
** Or [[Cursed With Awesome]]. Mr. Immortal's power is actually very useful, only not in superhero fights. The problem is that he is not invulnerable; his power doesn't work until he dies.
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]] - Mr. Immortal.
* [[C List Fodder]]
* [[Cool Car|Cool]] ([[The Alleged Car|Alleged) Car]] - The [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Quin-Jetta]].
Line 91:
* [[Resurrective Immortality]] / [[Complete Immortality]] - Mr. Immortal's only superpower is the ability to resurrect in perfect health immediately after dying, regardless of the method of death. It is implied that he is ''homo s. supreme'', having evolved beyond death, and will survive to see the end of the universe. Not really an attractive prospect. He can take advantage of it by killing himself to heal any persistent injuries, so it's not entirely a bad thing.
* [[Running Gag]] - Grasshoppers getting killed, each with less screen time.
* [[Shout
** Issue #2 of that series had an extended sequence with the GLA reaching out to every superhero they could think of to join their team - and all of them saying no. This was a reference to the then-recent first issue of DC's ''Villains United'', where Lex Luthor's villain squad contacted every baddie imaginable to join up, most of them saying yes.
* [[The Slow Path]] - Squirrel Girl travels to the future and meets Mr. Immortal, only to find he isn't there using a time machine.
Line 106:
* [[West Coast Team|Great Lakes Team]]
** Lampshaded by the Vision, who asked them if the name "Midwest Avengers" wouldn't make more sense. Mr. Immortal argued that no, the name should have something to do with ''coasts''.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|What Kind Of Lame Power Is Being A Door Anyway]] - Or being flat? Or dying a lot? Or being fat? Or <s>talking to squirrels</s>?
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]] - Mr. Immortal.
