He was also a capable boxer being trained by Wildcat. ==== Katana: Years ago, Tatsu Yamashiro was a student training under Master Takahiro in the art of the samurai. Takahiro was also the guardian of a one of a kind 14th century Muramasa katana sword. Yamashiro mistakenly revealed this and a villain named Takeo came to Takahiro's dojo for the sword. She hid while Takeo confronted the master and watched in horror as he was slain. Master Takahiro realized his death was needed to push her to her peak in order for her to wield the sword. In honor of Master Takahiro, Yamashiro took a vow of silence. Seeking to be an agent of justice, Tatsu travelled to America as Katana. Katana has no superpowers, but is highly skilled with her sword and trained in acrobatics.

Metamorpho: Rex Mason was only a teenager when he was hired evil industrialist, Simon Stagg to help locate the Orb of Ra in Egypt. When Mason succeeded, Stagg's assistant Java betrayed him. Left for dead in the light of a meteor, Mason survived and was transformed into a oddity. Calling himself Metamorpho, the Elemant Man, Mason travelled the world seeking a cure for his condition. Metamorpho can transform all or part of his body into any type of element. He can become a lead wrecking ball, change his fists into diamond, become a tornado, become bright as neon, or turn his whole body into a tidal wave.

Geo-Force: Brion George was the handsome yet brash crown prince of the European nation Markovia. Baron Bedlam and his forces invaded the country and executed King Viktor. Markov's older brother Gregor took over as king but was unable to stop Bedlam. Markov then implored the royal family's scientist Dr. Helga Jace to use her research and give him super powers. He encountered Batman and the Outsiders while fighting against Bedlam. After peace was re-established, Markov journeyed to America to master his powers by training under Batman. Batman agreed but treated him as an equal compared to the other members of the Outsiders. This infuriated Markov, who was royalty his whole life. Eventually, Markov respected Batman and earned his trust. He took the code-name Geo-Force, after his ability to control the earth. On a mission with Batman and the Outsiders, Geo-Force used his power to even the odds then finished off the cobra statue trying to feed on Batman. As implied by his codename, all of Brion's powers are in some way related to the planet Earth. He can manipulate the Earth's gravitational field to make an object heavier ("plus-gravity") or lighter ("null-gravity"). He can also project scorching "lava blasts" in imitation of terrestrial volcanoes. By using his null-gravity power on himself coupled with lava blasts for propulsion, Geo-Force can fly at great speeds for short periods of time (his teammate Black Lightning once remarked that Geo-Force weakens after flying 1,000 miles).
