The Justice Squad is a fictional superhero team. While many of the characters appeared on their own previously, the Team as a whole first appeared in The Liam Smith Show episode Capeman: Day of the D.O.N.G..
After the Internet Sitcom ended, the Squad was given given its own series, with a proposed Five Season run. The Fifth Season will be distributed starting in September of 2006.
The show is a parody of many popular superhero conventions, as well as specific Superhero Teams and Individual Heroes.

[edit] Early Appearances
[edit] The Liam Smith Show
The character of Capeman appeared in the first installment of The Liam Smith Show and The Blue Fairy appeared as a very minor character in later episodes. Doctor Wham and Cosmic Weasel were also introduced in this serial.
It wasn’t until a two-part season two episode called "The Fury of P.E.N.I.S. and "Day of the D.O.N.G." that Justice Squad was officially formed and the characters of Colossal Chunk, Nightflyer, the modern-day Ultrawoman, and Captain Spaz were introduced. Justice Squad appeared sporadically throughout the series run and in another two part episode in the third season titled “Apocalyptic Appetizer” and “The Main Course” which introduced Quasar and brought The Cosmic Weasel and Doctor Wham into the Justice Squad fold. During the last episode of The Liam Smith Show, Captain Spaz was killed off and has gone down as the one character that has never been brought back from the dead.
[edit] Capeman: The Movie
The first superhero solo adventure published by The Slightly Warped Website was Capeman: The Movie, a parody of Superman: The Motion Picture in which we learn of the origins of Capeman and how he became a hero in Las Vegas.
The last survivor of the planet Krapton, Capeman comes to Earth as an infant and is raised in an orphanage where he learns of his powers and his linage. Upon reaching adulthood, Capeman becomes a superhero protecting Las Vegas. The twist in this story is that Capeman is paid for his services and becomes very greedy and materialistic because of it.
Soon, however, a new superhero appears on the scene named Power Man who destroys Capeman’s reputation, and then tries to kill him when it turns out that Power Man is evil.
Capeman is eventually aided by his parents, who actually didn’t die because Krapton never really exploded. He kills Power Man, becoming the number one hero in the world again.
This story had a cameo by The Blue Fairy (who had, by that point, become a minor supporting character on The Liam Smith Show) and boasted the first appearance of an Ultrawoman, who has since been revealed to be the the current Ultrawoman’s mother.
Power Man eventually returned and has become a recurring villain on Justice Squad.
[edit] Blow'd Up
The first and (as of this date) only Justice Squad comic was a Capeman adventure that had Capeman searching for a mad bomber who blew up the Justice Squad Moon Watchtower during a superhero party. It turns out that Capeman is actually to blame since the explosions are caused by his superpowerful farts. All is not lost, however, as he uses his gas to defeat Saddam Hussien.
The comic featured cameos of several famous superheroes including Green Lantern, Stargirl, Hourman, Wonder Woman, The Powerpuff Girls, The Authority, Captain Picard, Guinan, and The DeLorean Time Machine.
[edit] Journey to Lost Hidden Dinosaur World of Atlantean Amazon Gold!
The superheroes Cosmic Weasel and Dr Wham are asked by the US Military to recover a downed plane carrying a top secret project; a pair of Nuclear Assisting Devices (or N.A.D.s). They crash onto a mysterious island, losing their powers, and find the island is filled with Amazon women, Dinosaurs, talking Ape Men, Lizard Men, and an evil wizard named Nilrem.
Cosmic Weasel and Dr Wham, with the assistance of Luna (a native Amazon) and Dr Katherine Comfort (an attractive Nuclear Physicist), discover that Nilrem has captured the N.A.D.s, and is using them to power his magic. The manage to defeat the wizard, through trickery and cheap shots. Dr Wham and Dr Comfort stay on the island to research its ways, and Cosmic Weasel brings Luna back to America.
At the end, it is revealed that the entire movie has been recounted to two other Justice Squad members, who discount it until Nilrem and his lizard men attack the diner they are at while looking for revenge.
[edit] Seasons
[edit] Season 1
Since the end of The Liam Smith Show, Thad Coffey (as Wolfman) and Bippo the Clown have joined Justice Squad. After helping to quell an alien invasion, Cosmic Weasel’s girlfriend, Luna, and her green pet tiger, Devour, also join as does the reformed alien criminal, Quasar.
As the season progressed, Power Man is released from the dimension of fiction and begins his obsession with killing Capeman. Dick Cheney tries to take over the world and is replaced as Vice President by The Liam Smith Show alumni, Stacy VaVoom. Her former boyfriend, Gary the Fanboy, is turned into a dog and stays by her side.
Bippo the Clown, in the meantime, is put in charge of a special covert wing of Justice Squad called Justice Squad Black and tells the other members that they are being watched by a powerful and omnipotent force called “The Watchers.” No one believes him.
The F-Men, a parody of the X-Men, are introduced. Although none of them, aside from their arch enemy, The Amazing Colossal Wood, have any real powers they feel ostracized from humanity because of their freakish looks and beliefs.
As the season progressed, trillionare industrialist, Rich E. Mogul – an analogy of Supeman’s Lex Luthor – forms a group of super villains called the Injustice Squad who he hopes to use to take over the world, destroy Justice Squad, and make Ultrawoman his bride.
The 1,000,000 Saga was a parody of DC Comics 1,000,000 event in which the Justice Squad are taken to the year 85,271 where they and the future incarnation of Justice Squad must ban together to save the future and the present from the evil time-traveling villain, Minute Man. This thirteen part story was undertaken by several different authors and, thusly, the multi-writer story arch has become a Justice Squad tradition ever since.
The Five, a paranormal superhero group started by Liam Smith Show alum Drew Fangtastic, was formed to help take down an interdimensional threat and Justice Squad Europe was formed to help protect the planet. We also found out that Ultrawoman and Donner are in the midst of a torrid love affair.
The season finale had the Injustice Squad attack Justice Squad in the watchtower. Although Justice Squad managed to defeat the villains, the attack left Capeman dead and Cosmic Weasel powerless. Cosmic Weasel, Luna, and Devour left Justice Squad because of this.
Donner, in the meantime, found himself developing new and powerful abilities which he kept secret and the episode ended with the team's scientific advisor, The Professor, telling Ultrawoman that she was pregnant.

[edit] Project Omega
Following the resignation of The Cosmic Weasel, Luna, and Devour from the Justice Squad, the heroes decide to embark on a career of vigilantism. Relying on weapons and gadgets such as the "Weas-shooter", a device that operates not unlike that of Spider-Man's Web-Shooters. During a crimefighting battle, they stumble onto the plans of the supervillain group The Omega Nerds (a massive army/organization of fanboys gone bad).
Still adapting to life without powers, Cosmic Weasel investigates the plans of the Nerds by forging a reluctant alliance with the incarcerated Alpha Nerd. During the investigation, Cosmic Weasel recounts his origin (and first meeting with Dr Wham) and discovers that the accident that gave him his abilities has been causing his powers to fluctuate wildly throughout his career. Alpha surmises that the erratic problems that arose for Cosmic Weasel during Season 1 was the surfacing of super-speed powers. Meanwhile, in order to deal with their financial problems, Luna enters the workforce at a local video store owned by a man named Mario.
When the Omega Nerds and their new leader, the Gamma Nerd, catch wind of Cosmic Weasel's investigation, they launch an all out assault on Cosmic Weasel, The Alpha Nerd and Luna, prompting them to hide out at a local nightclub owned by a man named Charlemagne. It's revealed that Charlemagne is an engineer that has provided Cosmic Weasel with numerous vehicles (namely the Weasel Wagons that Cosmic Weasel uses) and gadgets (such as the aforementioned Weas-Shooters). Charlemagne covers for them as they escape in an all new Weasel Wagon. But when they reach their home and discover Devour was injured in an attack from the Omega Nerd's resident hitman, The DBZ Nerd. This prompts a massive assault on the Nerds by Luna which results in her capture.
Cosmic Weasel attempts to mount a rescue (mowing down the DBZ Nerd in the process), but a double cross on the part of The Alpha Nerd squashes that. Now in the hands of the enemy, it's revealed that the Omega Nerds' plan is to acquire their own super-powers in a reactor chamber that Cosmic Weasel is blackmailed into powering. The reactor turns the Gamma Nerd into a large purple monster that Cosmic Weasel subdues with the help of his new powers while Luna incapacitates the Alpha and Beta Nerd (Alpha's brother).
In the end, Cosmic Weasel gets the hang of his new speed powers, and with Luna and a healed Devour is ready to return to the Justice Squad.
[edit] Season 2
Picking up several months after the end of the first season, Luna, Devour, and Cosmic Weasel rejoin Justice Squad after the events in Project: Omega just in time to assist the Squad in tracking down the culprit behind an outbreak of fish attacks on dry land. With the aid of a submarine, they discover that the attacks are originating from The Undersea Kingdom, an underwater society ruled over by the pompous and egotistical king, Sea Man. Sea Man, a parody of Aquaman, is waging war against the surface dwellers but soon finds himself up against his own sister who tries to take over his role as ruler. With Justice Squad’s help, the coup is stopped and Sea Man, disgraced and embarrassed, leaves The Undersea Kingdom to fight crime with Justice Squad.
Later, another living Xrax, the same species as Quasar, is discovered floating out in deep space. A female, T’ara insists that she and Quasar continue to propagate their nearly extinct race until she finds out that he was responsible for the destruction of their homeworld. Even though she hates him for that, T’ara decides that continuing the Xrax bloodline is more important and, taking Quasar’s sperm with her, she leaves for outer space.
The Jennifer Hanson Empire places an android spy on The Watchtower which alerts Justice Squad that a large interstellar war between the Hansonites and another alien race called The Rectumarians is waging and that Earth may be caught in the crossfire.
Robo-Britney is brought back to life and is given the ability to duplicate herself over and over again until there is a large army of Britney. During a fight with the Robo-Britney’s, Cosmic Weasel is thrown into the past and, for several weeks, Justice Squad believes him to be dead.
While Cosmic Weasel is missing, Robo-Britney and her army conquer Afghanistan and transform it into a country called Great Britnia. On a mission there, Justice Squad meets the extreme super agent, Triple Dubya – who is actually George W. Bush playing out a Triple X fantasy – and, more importantly, Capewoman… a female superhero with all of Capeman’s powers.
Cosmic Weasel returns from a Wild West adventure in the past just as Nightflyer comes out of the closet and admits his homosexuality and Donner, using his mysterious new powers, briefly becomes the New Capeman until his powers grow so massive that Blue Fairy takes them away for his safety.
Soon, Wolfman and Capewoman begin a romance as a strange new entity makes it presence known by kidnapping random people around the planet. It is later revealed that this ghost like presence is Capeman’s soul trying to reform itself from the shattered pieces of his own psyche which have scattered around the planet and taken human form. When his dark side, called Cape-Devil, gains control, Capewoman – armed with the fact that she is a facet also, reintegrates into the Capeman matrix and Capeman is brought back to life.
Before the Justice Squad can welcome him back, however, Ultrawoman goes into labor and delivers her daughter, Zalika Anne Donner who turns out to have very potent superpowers for a baby. Wolfman, in the meantime, heartbroken over Capewoman’s departure, quits Justice Squad and leaves.
His absence is short-lived, however, as the alien Skree allows him to make contact with the Capewoman facet of Capeman’s personality and accidentally brings a powerless version of her into the real world. Suffering from amnesia, Wolfman sends her to live with a friend and, finding peace inside himself, he rejoins Justice Squad.
At the end of the season, Justice Squad ventures out into space to stop the Jennifer Hanson/Rectumarian war and discover that it is actually the result of manipulations by a race of war profiteers called The P’rellians. When the two warring sides learn of this, they set out to destroy the P’rellians and, to stop an intergalactic genocide, Justice Squad is apparently destroyed in a massive explosion leaving Donner, Wolfman, and Ultrababy as the only survivors of the catastrophe.

[edit] The Wrath of P.E.N.I.S
Taking place between the third season episodes “A Rock and a Hard Place” and “Space Sucks,” The Wrath of P.E.N.I.S. was a commemorative story and a salute to the Liamverse’s fifth anniversary. In it, Luna, Wolfman, Sea Man, Quasar, Devour, and Ultrababy are sent back to the year 2002 during the time of The Liam Smith Show episodes “The Fury of P.E.N.I.S.” and “Day of the D.O.N.G.” when Rich E. Mogul and a villain from The Liam Smith Show, Senestra Malevolous, join forces to change history and prevent Justice Squad from ever forming.
In the episode, the future Justice Squad members play background characters in the popular Liam Smith Show episodes as the Deep Space Nine crew did on Kirk’s Enterprise in the episode “Trials and Tribble-ations.”
The story ended with the future Justice Squad ensuring that Justice Squad was formed the way it was supposed to and ended with our heroes back in the present during the third season episode “Space Sucks.”
[edit] Season 3
With Justice Squad dead, Wolfman Donner and Ultrababy return to Earth to discover that a new Justice Squad has been called into service. This new Squad, consisting of Doctor Wham, Black Puma, Purple Helmet, Nova, The Texan, Flippo the Clown, Jack McKinsey, Ivy, and Chevy Chase. Wolfman is designated as the leader and on their first mission together, they neutralize an out of control liquid metal Robo-Britney prototype called the Robo-Britney B-1000 which is presented to Justice Squad as a gift from the grateful Britneys.
The Reserve Justice Squad stayed in place for nine weeks until the real Justice Squad returned from a pocket universe that Blue Fairy unknowingly placed them all in for their own protection. Blue Fairy quits Justice Squad to spend more time with his family and Ivy takes his place. Donner and Ultrawoman get a divorce. Bippo the Clown is fired due to his part in the explosion that almost killed them all.
After all of this, Rich E. Mogul announces his candidacy for President of the United States and, amazingly enough, wins against both George W. Bush and John Kerry.
Ultrawoman learns of The Watchers and of a force behind them called The Controller when Bippo the Clown slips her a mind-altering substance. She allows Bippo back into the group.
Rich E. Mogul is sworn in as president and his girlfriend, Senestra Malevolous, ends their relationship by sending a giant robot to kill him. Justice Squad steps in and saves the day, but Mogul has the last laugh by taking over the day to day operations of Justice Squad, replacing Donner, and making it a government agency. Ultrawoman counters by making Donner a full fledged Justice Squad member, keeping him in the fold.
A backscratcher used by Sea Man is revealed to be The Forever Staff, a magical device able to open doorways to other locations and, when his evil sister Doran tries to steal it, both of them accidentally end up visiting dozens of parallel universes. Sea Man eventually lands on Hubworld, an interdimensional airport of sorts, and is directed by Professor Maximillion Arturo to help end a crisis on Earth One. The crisis is ended, Doran is lost forever, and Sea Man ends up back on Earth Prime where, when showing off The Forever Staff’s capabilities, accidentally chops his own hand off. It is replaced by a sophisticated liquid metal replacement.
At the end of the season, the evil sorcerer Nilrem and his daughter, Liana, enact a scheme to steal the Blue Fairy’s wand which kills his wife and seriously injures his son. Blue Fairy, charged by grief and revenge denounces his role as Blue Fairy and, using the power he took from Donner the year before, takes on the role of Azure.
Azure tries to remake the world the way he sees fit, but Justice Squad stops him with the help of his son, Jack, who gains the powers of the Blue Fairy. Azure chases Nilrem into space on a futile mission of vengeance.
As the last episode ends, Senestra Malevolous is revealed to be pregnant with Mogul’s child and Donner is shot in his own office and left for dead by an unknown assailant.
[edit] Justice Squad: Beauty and the Beast
Taking place at the same time during Sea Man's interdimensional travels in the season three Elseworlds arc, Beauty and the Beast was a team-up adventure starring Wolfman and Luna. In it, Luna and Wolfman investigate the distribution of a new drug on the streets called "Immanimutos", a drug that when ingested, gives the the user superhuman abilities, yet not without the side effect of a monstrous physical change. Upon their investigation, the two discover that Mad Cow and Tiana Lim are in charge of the cartel and put a stop to them, much to the chagrin of FBI agents Tooty and Sunday, who are also investigating the drug. After a frantic car chase, Luna and Wolfman stop Tiana and Mad Cow, have them arrested, and destroy the supply of drugs.
The most notable portion of the movie is the revelation that Luna has an older brother named Solaris and despises him because of his sexist and vicious attitudes towards the Kirbylean Amazons. This sibling rivalry is the source of all of Luna's hostility towards Wolfman, who bears a resemblance to her brother along with a wolf tattoo. It is revealed at the end of Beauty and the Beast that Solaris is alive and well, contrary to Luna's belief that he died in an avalanche. Solaris is also revealed to have been the mastermind behind the drug syndicate Tiana and Mad Cow failed to run.
The movie is a homage to several buddy cop action movies, such as "Lethal Weapon", "Rush Hour", "The Long Kiss Goodnight", "48 Hours", "Starsky & Hutch", "Bad Boys" and even "Kuffs". It also features guest appearances from Ultrawoman, Cosmic Weasel, Bippo, Devour and Drew Fangtastic and the first and only appearance to-date of "The Luna-mobile", a bulletproof remote controlled SUV with several weapons stashed inside it and a camouflage capabilities.
[edit] Season 4
The fourth season of Justice Squad opened with Donner fighting for his life in a hospital as Justice Squad sought out the person responsible for shooting him. Wolfman, in the meantime, was kidnapped by his arch nemesis Doogan Kessler who tried to get his aid in fighting a war between the vampires and the werewolves. Wolfman refused and escaped his custody. Eventually, Justice Squad caught their secretary, Miss Ballsworth, trying to kill Donner, stopped her, and saved his life.
Cosmic Weasel asked Luna to marry him and she accepted.
Justin Timberlacky, who had been adopted as a Jack of all Trades by Justice Squad was killed in a fight with his previous clone. Timberlacky was re-cloned but due to a miscalculation, only came out two inches tall and was, from that point on, referred to as Tiny Timberlacky.
Sara Vatar, the former Capewoman, had her memories returned to her after an encounter with an ancient magical armor and, even though she still did not regain her powers, she and Wolfman resumed their love affair with great vigor.
Drew Fangtastic was rescued from Hell and returned to Earth, restored as a normal human. Even though he lacked any powers, he was finally made a member of Justice Squad due to Wolfman’s recommendation and his great knowledge of the supernatural. This decision was welcome at first, but Drew did not adapt well to his human form frequently getting injured.
Luna’s brother Solaris, hinted at in Beauty and the Beast, returned to take on the Justice Squad and though he was defeated, he proved to be a powerful adversary.
After the birth of Mogul and Senestra’s baby, a little boy named Alexander, an evil God named Hogarth appeared and demanded the baby in exchange for favors granted to Senestra’s mother many years before. Justice Squad put aside their differences with Mogul and helped protect the child. After Hogarth was turned away, Mogul declared his feud with Justice Squad to be over and placed Jason Donner in charge of the group once again. He also leveled with America on national TV, but managed to keep the office of president.
Luna and Cosmic Weasel were married on Kirbylee and spent their honeymoon in Sherwood Forest courtesy of the time-traveling Tempus.
Things took a turn for the worse when the vampires, lead by the evil Count Dracula, attacked Justice Squad and turned Sara Vatar into one of them. As a vampire, she became the Squad’s most vicious enemy, preying primarily on Wolfman, her former lover. Drew Fangtastic, saddled with guilt over his inability to do anything to stop the attack on Sara, got a friend of his named Kate to turn him into a vampire again. The transformation, however, came with a price as Drew killed her before his soul was returned to him.
In the multi-writer arch called Justice Squad Unlimited, Justice Squad fought beside the likes of GI Joe, Angel, Scooby Doo, and others.
Soon, the werewolf/vampire war began to wage in earnest and, with 80 percent of the werewolf population wiped out, Doogan once again turned to Wolfman and the Justice Squad. This time, Wolfman accepted Doogan’s offer and allied with him, wiping out the vampires, destroying Transylvania, and returning Sara’s soul to her. Although Sara was turned good again, the nature of the curse that was placed on her made a reunion with Wolfman impossible and the two went their separate ways. Doogan Kessler was killed in the final battle, dying a hero.
Meanwhile, other members of Justice Squad dealt with an attack from a parallel universe and discovered that Mogul, despite his claims that he had reformed, was raising an army of super solders based on the way Capeman received his powers. Justice Squad and many of its allies fought Mogul’s army, defeating them and exposing long-time Justice Squad member Sea Man as a traitor and the real person who shot Donner at the beginning of the season. Mogul escaped and, to try and weed out any corruption left in the government, Justice Squad placed themselves in charge of the United States. Sea Man was thrown out.
The episode ended with a young girl appearing out of nowhere claiming to be Ultragirl, a grown up version of Ultrababy, telling them that the universe was about to end.
[edit] Nightflyer Begins
In this story, a dead-on parody of the movie, Batman Begins, we are treated to the story of Nightflyer’s origins, how he was trained by Chuck Norris, and how he first donned his costume to fight crime.
In the story, Nightflyer fights the evil Doctor Spookyman who hopes to spread a fear gas all over Nightflyer’s city of Gothic City.
Although a parody and comedy, Nightflyer Begins addressed many sensitive topics of racism and stereotyping.
[edit] Season 5
The fifth and final season of Justice Squad will be distributed beginning on September 15th, 2006 and will focus on Justice Squad trying to stop a menace bent on destroying the entire multiverse.
[edit] Characters
[edit] Headline text
[edit] Lineup
[edit] Ultrawoman
Ultrawoman, whose real name is Doctor Mona Watur, is a psychologist by day and superhero by night. Descended from a long line of superpowered females, Ultrawoman is the most powerful of her line, not counting her small daughter.
Ultrawoman gained her powers following the death of her mother at the hands of Senestra Malevolous as was the tradition in her family (at least it was until her daughter was born). Shortly after becoming the third superhero named Ultrawoman, following her mother and grandmother, she went on to form Justice Squad with Nightflyer, Colossal Chunk, Blue Fairy, and Captain Spaz. Ultrawoman has been the acting leader ever since.
Her powers include flight, resistance to injury, strength, and energy blasts from her hands.
[edit] Wolfman
Bitten by a werewolf in 1999, Thad Coffey’s life has been in turmoil ever since.
For the first few years of his werewolf life, Thad was out of control and would frequently devour anyone unfortunate enough to be around him at the time. Controlling his transformations with a werewolf patch, Thad tried to lead a normal life. Thanks to the magical manipulations of Blue Fairy, Thad Coffey faced down the deity of all werewolves, The Wolf God, and broke from the pack. He has been in control of his werewolf form ever since.
Thad accompanied a friend of his, Gary the Fanboy, to an open Justice Squad audition and, even though he didn’t try out, was accepted into the superhero team anyway. Adopting the name Wolfman, he has since risen in the ranks to second in command and briefly lead the team for a while in Ultrawoman’s absence.
Powers: Lycanthropy, speed, agility, strength, rapid healing, animal communication, advanced hearing, advanced sight, and advanced sense of smell.

[edit] The Cosmic Weasel
In late 1999, as he was attending college, Jesse Glaspey was doused in cosmically irradiated chemicals in a lab accident brought on by a terrorist attack. The accident gave Jesse superpowers. At the time, the main superpowers brought on by this were the ability to scale walls, leap high and a sixth "weasel-sense" that warned him of dangers. Jesse became the Cosmic Weasel and formed a partnership with Jonathan Krueger, aka Dr. Wham. They fought together in several adventures, meeting Liam Smith, Thad Coffey, Jason Donner, Bippo D. Clown and Capeman along the way in the middle of 2000 on "The Liam Smith Show".
In mid 2001, after a failed attempt to get a TV show on the air in Los Angeles, and on the lam after stealing several million dollars from a group of villains known as the Hawaiian Avengers, Jesse and Jonathan decide to move to Las Vegas and set up shop in the basement of the Upda Creek Apartment Building. At some point in early 2001, the Cosmic Weasel and Dr. Wham applied for membership with the Justice Squad and were rejected. They were finally allowed to join the Justice Squad in late 2001 after helping out against Mike the Devourer of Worlds. Shortly after the finale of "The Liam Smith Show", the events of "Journey to Lost Hidden Dinosaur World of Atlantean Amazon Gold" took place and Cosmic Weasel had a new partner in the Amazon from Kirbylee known as Luna, who was inducted into the Justice Squad soon after.
During the first season of The Justice Squad, Jesse was having difficulties with his powers and new abilities popping up more and more until his abilities finally disappeared altogether, provoking him and Luna to quit the Justice Squad. It wasn't until months later that Jesse discovered the accident that gave him superpowers was in a constant state of flux until finally giving him the powers he has now: Super-speed. He has since rejoined Justice Squad and in late 2005, married Luna.
Since the emergence of his new abilities, his super-speed has been used in a variety of ways such as generating powerful wind storms and vibrating through solid objects. However, the powers are not without their drawbacks. The first is an increased appetite to accompany his hypermetabolism. The second drawback is a tendency to move so fast that the result is involuntary time travel, ranging from a short thirty minute jaunt backwards to full-blown treks to eras such as Ancient Rome and the Wild West.
Generally an affable and quick-witted sort, The Cosmic Weasel tends to get along with most of his teammates, and thoroughly enjoys the life of a superhero so much that while he doesn't hide his secret identity, he loves a good disguise. In addition, while he no longer uses cars since he got his super-speed, he still has a penchant for using flying vehicles he dubs as his "Weasel Wagon".
[edit] Bippo the Clown
[edit] Quasar
[edit] Drew Fangtastic
Born in England in the late nineteenth century, Andrew Smith lied about his age and joined the fighting in World War I. It was there that he was turned into a vampire with a soul.
In the last few years of the Twentieth Century he was living in Las Vegas, where he had some adventures (recounted in The Liam Smith Show).
Afterwards he created a bar called Uppda Creek Bar and Pub, to cater to the needs of the supernatural community. He also started a supergroup called The Five (even though it never actually had exactly five members).
After dying and being rescued from Hell by the Justice Squad, he was turned human as a punishment. He joined the Justice Squad, and served as their resident expert on the paranormal for a few months. During an attack he was mortally wounded, and a former lover turned him back into a vampire. Although less powerful than he was before, Drew remains as an active member of the Squad.
[edit] Luna
Luna is a normal woman with no superpowers and is in top physical shape for a woman her age that works out and trains regularly. Luna has exemplary marksmanship and is adept with most forms of weaponry and combat. Preferred weapons include swords, a shield and throwing knives. In addition to armed combat, Luna is also a highly skilled martial artist with a Kirbylean fighting style similar to a combination of varying Eastern martial arts. Also, Luna speaks several native Kirbylean languages.
Luna was born in her home country of Kirbylee, the daughter of Joan of Starlin and Arbok of the Hill People (killed by Joan shortly after conceiving with her). As a child, she grew up amongst her fellow Amazons, such as her younger sister Nova, her pet tiger Devour and the super-villain Helga Madcow. Luna is generally peace loving, yet also raised as a warrior in order to fend off barbarians like her older brother Solaris or the evil wizard Nilrem. This training is likely the reason for Luna's dramatic weight loss since childhood.
After the events in "Journey to Lost Hidden Dinosaur World of Atlantean Amazon Gold", Luna left Kirbylee for the oustide world and subsequently joined the Justice Squad. Since that time, her relationship with the Cosmic Weasel has progressed to the point where they got married in late 2005. As an outsider in what most Amazons refer to as "man's world", Luna has exhibited certain traits unique to her situation, she learned to drive from video games, is a bad cook, is terrified of Muppets and wears size twelve shoes. However, her most noticeable and familiar trait is her quick and often violent temper, which comes out in physical attacks on her teammates such as multiple punches to Wolfman's nose and the recent severing of Sea Man's arm.
[edit] Devour
Devour is Luna's faithful tiger from the island of Kirbylee. Rescued as a cub from a pterodactyl nest, he was then taken in and raised by Luna and her sister Nova as children. He grew up with them and when Luna joined Cosmic Weasel in America, he followed soon after (despite a brief delay in quarantine) and was inducted into the Justice Squad along with Luna.
Like other tigers from Kirbylee, he bears a physical resemblance to a Sabretoothed Tiger, though the color of the fur varies in unique tones from purple to Devour's shade of green. However unlike other Kirbylean tigers, Devour is highly intelligent. This has been demonstrated by Devour's skills in playing chess, counting cards during gambling, programming VCR's, piloting the Justice Squad's jet, managing people's finances and even performing autopsies. Another of Devour's skills are his ability to pounce on his prey from out of nowhere and his voracious appetite.
Outside of assisting Luna, his duties as part of the Justice Squad tend to involve either babysitting for Zalika Donner or acting as a bodyguard to her father, Jason Donner. Sometimes both.
[edit] Ivy
[edit] Blue Wizard
Jack McKinsey is the son of Leonard McKinsey, who was the Blue Fairy for the first three seasons of the series. When Leonard went insane and renounced the Blue Fairy powers, Jack reluctantly received them, making him the second male Blue Fairy in history (although he showed signs of magical ability even before then). However, breaking the family tradition, Jack refuses to call himself Blue Fairy, opting instead for the name Blue Wizard. He also refuses to wear the traditional leotard and tutu. He is a powerful sorcerer, and has the ability to visit the Garden, the Blue Fairy afterlife, and communicate with the spirits of every Blue Fairy before him (except his father).

[edit] Ultrababy
Ultrababy, a.k.a. Zalika Anne Donner, is the infant daughter of Jason Donner and Ultrawoman. Normal Ultrawomen do not develop their powers until the deaths of their mothers. However, since she was conceived at a time when Donner's metagene was active, Zalika has inherited her father's Capeman powers, which have also unlocked her Ultrawoman powers from birth. The combination of Capeman and Ultrawoman powers have made Zalika the most powerful baby on Earth. She is growing more powerful every day, and could potentially become the most powerful being on the planet.
[edit] Ultragirl
Ultragirl, a.k.a. Zalika Anne Donner, is Ultrababy's counterpart from the alternate universe created by Blue Fairy at the end of the second season. Because time passes more quickly in that universe, she is currently 16 years old. She initially came to Earth-Prime intending to get Justice Squad's help to save her universe from an unknown threat; however, they were too late, and arrived to find that universe reduced to an empty black void. Ultragirl realized she was actually sent to Earth-Prime to survive the imminent destruction of her universe. Ultrawoman has since taken her in as her daughter, and allowed her to join Justice Squad.

[edit] Blue Fairy/Azure
The powers of the Blue Fairy have been passed down from mother to daughter for thousands of years. However, because Leonard McKinsey's mother never had a daughter, upon her death Leonard became the first male Blue Fairy. He served with Justice Squad for the series's first two seasons.
During the second season, Leonard absorbed the powers of both the Gay Avenger and Jason Donner, strengthening his own magic powers and making him the most powerful sorcerer on Earth. This lead him to retire from Justice Squad in the third season while he tried to deal with his new powers.
At the end of the third season, the evil wizard Nilrem killed Leonard's wife, Gloria, and injured his son, Jack. The resulting grief caused Leonard to go insane and attempt to reshape the universe to make everything the way he wanted it. He renounced the powers of the Blue Fairy and took on the name Azure. Ultimately, he chased Nilrem into outer space on a seemingly never-ending quest for vengeance.
Although Nightflyer and Ivy have had contact with him since, he currently remains at large.
