NIGHTWING
– After his parents were killed during a circus performance, Dick
Grayson was taken in by Bruce Wayne and became the first Robin. Now,
Dick has taken on the identity of Nightwing and relocated to
Blüdhaven, coming into his own as a hero. As the leader of the new
Outsiders, Nightwing brings with him a lifetime of experience as a
vigilante.
BLACK
LIGHTNING – A former teacher, Jefferson Pierce donned a belt that
generated electricity and became the crime-fighting Black Lightning.
Now having internalized that power, Black Lightning was a founding
member of the original Outsiders as well as a temporary member of the
JLA. He has been asked by the Batman to keep an eye on this new team.
KATANA
– Like
Black Lightning, Tatsu Yamashiro is one of the founding members of the
original Outsiders and she also fought alongside a recent incarnation
under the identity of Whisper. Armed with a powerful sword that can
trap the souls of all it has killed, Katana is a complicated woman who
will use whatever means necessary to complete a mission.
VERA
BLACK
– A former Outsider, and sister of Manchester Black; Vera
is
searching for answers, but she doesn't even know the questions. What
role will she serve with the current team?
SHIFT
– Rufus Schultz was an archaeologist on a search for the
mythical Fountain of Youth. When he discovered it, the properties of
the Fountain transformed him, granting him the ability to transform
into different elements, similar to the late Metamorpho. An old friend
of Mr. Terrific's, Shift joined that incarnation of the team and after
assisting Nightwing on a recent mission, was extended an offer to join
the new Outsiders.
MANCHESTER
BLACK – Formerly the leader of Britain's premiere team of
superheroes, the Elite, Manchester Black possesses powerful psionic
abilities. Now, he is with the Outsiders as a representative of the
Elysia Foundation, to ensure their money is being put to good use.
MR.
ORR – A mysterious man with a mysterious past, Mr. Orr was
the one who offered to bankroll Nightwing's Outsiders on the behalf of
the Elysia Foundation. Orr serves as the team's main liason with
Elysia, but his true motives—and the motives of his
employers—remain unknown.
