Forged in the lethal metahuman fighting ring of The Dark Side Club, are those of the Shadow Squad. Superpowered young adults that have survived as champions to the clubs ring are rewarded and inducted into this organization; the Lights own covert team of young up and coming metahumans. Their answer to the Leagues own team of young heroes. As their name suggest the squad carries out the Lights more hands on missions and the members of the Shadow Squad have proved to be ruthless, villainous and savage and are in every way equal to their counterparts.
Inertia
Though Wally West may be gone, his DNA lives on. Using the cadmus cloning technology and acquired samples of Wally West DNA, The Light brought back his body. Rather than risking giving him his old memories, they instead rewrote entirely new ones using their psychic enforcer Psimon, instilling the thrill seeking and reckless portions of his personality and removing the more noble qualities as they saw fit. Seeing as they could nt replicate the connection to the Speed Force either, they instead turned to science and created a chemical compound called Velocity 7 that once injected into the bloodstream (similar to the way Bane injects Venom) could give the user speed equal to the Flash. Suited up with injectors and then loosed into the Dark Side Club, the lethal fights soon nurtured the bloodthirsty edge that the Light instilled in their clone. Now part of the Shadow Squadron, Inertia is a thrill-killer with the face of friend.
Giganta
All her life Doris Zuel was looked down on by her friends, her teachers, even her parents. Finally tired of it all, she volunteered for a experiment in an attempt to replicate the Amazonian power set. Though the experiment failed, it did succeed in bringing her dormant metagene to the surface as she is now able increase her size. In this new giantess form she gains super strength,durability, and stamina. She also has some anger issues, though it's uncertain if that's an effect of the experiments or if it was always lurking beneath the surface. She was then covertly taken in by The Light and they molded her more violent impulses through the gauntlet of the Dark Side Club. Recently she's proven that her her ambition has grown too as she has earned a place on The Lights elite Shadow Squad.
Blackfire
An alien princess and war criminal Komand'r aka Blackfire was once heir to the Tamaranian throne when fear of her sister usurping her rightful place,caused her to ally with Tameran enemies and lead an army against her royal parents. Unfortunately her coup attempt failed and as punishment she was exiled and imprisoned on a prison world a galaxy away. During the time before Darkseids invasion the Light with the assistance of the War World broke the galactic prisoners out to serve as a distraction for the leagues galactic allies. Seeing the raw destructive force that was the War World, Komand’r followed the trail of destruction interested in anyone that had that kind of power at their beck and call. She arrived on Earth and soon found The Light. Eventually after proving her worth winning in The Dark Side Club, she was offered a position on the Shadow Squad, with the promise that if she proved herself on the team, The Light would aid her in conquering her homeworld. With superhuman strength, flight and the ability to shoot out the powerful energy known as starbolts she serves as the teams alien powerhouse
Match
Lex Luthor was never one to abandon a good project just because it had some speed bumps. It may have taken a few tries, but Luthor finally found a way to stabilize match. Using nanites similar to the ones that composed the fog and injecting them into the base of Match’s spine, it enabled the clone to become stable both physically and mentally, with the added bonus of being able to control his physical body should Match get out of hand again. Different from the screaming rage creature previously encountered, Match is now cold, ruthless and most importantly capable of normal speech, though he often remains quiet. Despite his new demeanor and intellect, however he still has an all consuming hatred for his “father” Superman and his “little brother” Superboy. The current Champion of the Dark Side Club, Match is the newest member of the Shadow Squad eager to strike a blow at the Team and the League in whatever way he can.
Jinx
The enigmatic Jinx has been on the run for some time after a quite literal modern day witch hunt in her home town and her parents disowning her afraid of the magic she possessed. Eventually she found her way into The Light and under the tutelage of the dark sorcerers in their employee she learned how to turn the fear and pain she had felt into fuel for her magic skills in order to dish out a little pain and fear herself in Dark Side Club bouts. Feeling powerful for the first time in her life gave her a rush that she is always anxious to re experience. She specializes in probability altering magic known as hexes. With it it she can cause bad luck to fall upon her enemies, break and shatter objects, cause projectiles to go off course and even unleash the magic in energy waves. Now serving on thee Shadow Squad, she has finally found a place that not only accepts her darker urges but encourages them.
Siren
Tula the former Aquagirl sacrificed herself to save the world and her body was buried under the rubble, however despite the teams efforts the body was never recovered. Unbeknownst to the team it was because The Light had taken the remains and used it as material to clone the Atlantean superhero. Using a combination of mysticism, and science they restored the clone to the full powers of the former Aquagirl. Having learned their lesson from their failures with Red Arrow,they did not bother giving this clone a implanted trigger, but instead gave her full memories back, and then spent the next year warping and twisting her psyche to suit their purposes until thier was nothing of the original Aquagirl left, only Siren, with all the memories but none of the noble intentions.. Manipulative, powerful, and deadly she has been placed on the Shadow Squad, eager for her turn to step into The Light.
Hotstreak
Francis Stone was a delinquent from Dakota City, that was in conflict with Dakota's newest hero, Static. Not too long after that he was abducted by the Light and involuntarily underwent painful experiments to bring out his metagene. Gifted with pyrokinetic abilities he was then thrown into the ring of the Dark Side Club where he reveled in his newfound power and burning those that were weaker than him. The rookie on the Shadow Squad he is eager to prove himself to The Light and the more established members of the Squad.
