Line 1:
{{
== [[Squadron Supreme]] ==
Expies of the [[Justice League]], based on their [[Bronze Age]] and [[Silver Age]] incarnations. At the start of this story, they are recovering from mind control and faced with a collapse of civilization that makes them take steps they never would have considered in the past.
Line 7:
The [[Superman]] Expy right down to having an Alliterative [[Secret Identity]] that he casually abandons at the start of this story. He seems to lack most of the [[Super Senses]] of his counter part which helps to explain why he is so often ignorant of the failings of his human teammates who struggle to keep up.
* [[The Cape (trope)]]
* [[Evil Twin]]: Played straight when Master Menace recruits Hyperion's Evil Twin to infiltrate the Squadron.
* [[Flying Brick]]
Line 18:
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Zarda married a mortal, he didn't seem to mind until age seperated them.
* [[Immortality]]
* [[Mayfly
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]
=== Doctor Spectrum ===
The [[
* [[
* [[Morally
* [[Power Crystal]]: A large gem that allows Dr. Spectrum to have powers like [[
=== The Whizzer ===
The [[Flash]] Expy, based on the Barry Allen version of the character (except he's a mailman instead of a police scientist.) This version has a family which is the source of most of his strain. That combined with his speed, he frequently faces the temptation to simply run away in a fight.
* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: The Whizzer agrees with the team's plans to disarm the populace. This later causes a conflict when he's forced to attack the Institute of Evil with an automatic weapon.
Line 37:
=== Amphibian ===
The [[
* [[Hoist
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: When it finally comes to light that the Golden Archer brainwashed Lady Lark, Amphibian feels quite justified in destroying the plans for the Behavior Modification device and every copy of the machine in house before swimming off into the sunset.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: He quits the Squadron and isn't seen for the remainder of the series after Golden Archer is expelled for using the behavior modification device on Lady Lark to make her love him. He didn't quit because he believed Archer was innocent, he quit because the Squadron had the nerve to actually punish Archer for using the device that they all lobbied for. On top of that, he was against the election of former criminals into the Squadron, knowing full well they couldn't say "no" because of the modification.
=== Tom Thumb ===
An aging genius little person (though, unlike his [[Justice League]] counterpart, he can't shrink, he's simply short) and the backbone of the initiative. Tom is responsible for inventing the miraculous technologies that give the initiative a chance at success though those efforts are not always appreciated.
* [[Deal
* [[Human Popsicle]]: Tom becomes one when he is placed in a hibernaculum after his death.
* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]
Line 58:
* [[Clingy Costume]]: As his power continues to grow stronger, Nuke has to keep wearing a lead-lined suit to avoid killing everyone around him.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]
* [[Freak
* [[Never My Fault]]: He blames Tom Thumb for the deaths of his parents, because he couldn't cure cancer in time. {{spoiler|It's obvious that they contracted cancer as a result of exposure to Nuke's powers, but in Nuke's defense, he didn't plan for them to get sick because of his powers.}}
Line 74:
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Brainwashing his girlfriend, which earns him a few well deserved [[What the Hell, Hero?]] remarks from his teammates though not as many as we'd hope.
=== Arcanna ===
