Institute of Evil members in the Squadron

The Institute of Evil was a group of the Squadron's arch-foes. They were brainwashed to not be evil and became members of the Squadron.

  • Foxfire – Olivia Underwood is a supervillain who can project bio-luminescent energy.
  • Lamprey – Donald McGuiggin is a power-absorbing supervillain who is a pastiche of Parasite.
  • Mink – Julie Steel is a cat burglar who is a pastiche for Catwoman.
  • Quagmire – Jerome Myers is an enemy of Doctor Spectrum who can generate Darkforce Tar.
  • Shape – Raleigh Lund is a supervillain with elasticity who is loosely based on Plastic Man. Defected to the Squadron Supreme.

Nighthawk's Redeemers

Nighthawk then formed a group called the America Redeemers from unknown superhumans and former supervillains.

  • Redstone - Michael Redstone is a superhero with super-strength.
  • Moonglow - Melissa Hanover is an illusion-casting superhero.
  • Inertia - Edith Freiberg is a superhero who can transfer kinetic energy into another object or person.
  • Haywire - Harold Danforth is a superhero who can form "tanglewire" filament.
  • Thermite - Sam Yurimoto is a superhero who can project heat from the left side of his body and intense cold from the right side of his body.
  • Mink - See above.
  • Remnant - Frank Edwards is a former villain of Nighthawk who can fly and animate cloth in order to ensnare anyone.
  • Pinball - Chester Freeman is a former villain of Nighthawk who can inflate himself into a ball and bounce around when in a ball-like shape.

In addition, Nighthawk's group eventually included former Institute of Evil members Lamprey, Foxfire, and Shape, as well as expelled Squadron Supreme member Black Archer.

All-New All-Different Marvel

In the post-Secret Wars world several superheroes from destroyed alternate universes form a new Squadron Supreme.

Squadron Supreme of America

The Squadron Supreme of America are simulacrums that were created by Mephisto and programmed by the Power Elite to serve as the United States of America's sanctioned superhero team.[1] Among its members are:

  • Doctor Spectrum (Joseph Ledger) - Leader. In his personal time, he works as a colonel in the United States Air Force.
  • Hyperion (Marcus Milton) - Hyperion was programmed to be a mild-mannered man raised by farmers who had the strength of an Eternal. In his personal time, he works as a history teacher at Buscema High School in Kensington, Maryland.
  • Power Princess (Zelda Shelton) - Power Princess was programmed to be a lustful power woman from Utopia Isle who wore a special necklace to dampen her powers when in her secret identity as a professional boxer.
  • Nighthawk (Kyle Richmond) - An African-American variation of Kyle Richmond. Nighthawk was programmed to be in top physical condition while sporting some doubt and jealousy for his teammates enough for him to brood. In his personal time, he is a U.S. congressman elected to the House of Representatives to represent Washington DC.
  • Blur (Stanley Stewart) - Blur was programmed to forcefully watch endless loops to keep up his brain speed while watching numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. files and unscrupulous videos. In his personal time, he works as a computer programmer at an office building in Washington DC.

Other Squadron universe characters

A handful of other heroes and villains were seen in the Squadron series and elsewhere, most of whom were also directly analogous to specific DC characters.

New World Order also mentioned a number of other unseen characters with DC Universe analogues, such as the Erl King (a Swamp Thing analogue) and Nighthawk's archfoe Huckster (an obvious take on Joker).

There are also occasional references to a World War II superhero team called the Golden Agency, which included among its members Power Princess, the American Eagle, and Professor Imam.
