The original super hero team of Earth, founded following an undisclosed invasion. The group remained together for many years and after the defeat of Rita Repulsa, even had an affiliation with the Rangers of Earth.

Beetleborgs
When Art Fortunes of Urbana City got his first job in the comic world he had never dreamt of the success he would find. His comic book: Beetleborgs served to entertain for two decades. Sadly success was fleeting and after years of loyal service his series was cancelled and despite having finished the drawings, many of his books remained unprinted.
Depressed, Art travelled the world and during one such trip, visited a deserted beach where he discovered a strange crystal. Although he did not know it at the time the crystal was of alien origin and somehow when placed in his cupboard along with his comic collection, interpreted the drawings in his comics as schematics for a new army of evil.
Elsewhere in the outlying town of Charterville, three teenage students were exploring a haunted mansion when they uncovered another crystal, releasing Flabber, a morphological being who served as a memory of a race long since departed.
Flabber charged the teens with the task of undoing the damage caused by Art's foolishness, gifted them with super powers and named them Beetleborgs, using the heroes from Art's series as a template.
Green Beetleborg - Roland (Mage Level Adept, uses magic to increase speed.)
Red Beetleborg - Jo (Mage Level Adept, can use magic to temporarily increase her strength)
Blue Beetleborg - Drew (Mage Level Telekinesis, can use magic to enhance the powers of his mind)
White Beetleborg - Josh (Due to the White Beetleborg only existing in a short mini series, Josh's power were equally short lived.)
VR Troopers
During Second World War American and German Scientists discovered a way to create Virtual Realities that allowed them to pass vehicles from one location to another. The project failed dismally when the first troops entered. They were lost, feared dead. Servo, the robotic creation of Professor Ross Steele was left inside sealed command post.
Decades later the Virtual Reality had grown and its occupants sought to return to mainstream reality. Led by Grimlord, a Virtual Demon created by the subconscious of the trapped soldiers, the mutants of Virtual Reality prepared to attack.
Tyler Steele, Ross's son entered the control center and reactivated Servo, charging him with the duty of keeping Grimlord from breaching reality. Later Servo was joined by three addition Troopers, whose metal suits derived from his technology allowed them to fight alongside him.
Servo - (Original android disguised as human from which later powers were derived) - Can disguise himself as 24 year old Devon Long. - Missing following Minion Saga
Blue Trooper - Ryan Steele (Ryan Steele's son, recruited after his father disappeared.)
White Trooper - Kaitlyn Star (Friend of Ryan)
Black Trooper - JB Reese (Friend of Ryan and Kaitlyn)
Jeb (Virtually enabled dog, capable of transforming into armour when needed)
Other Heroes/Heroines
Spider-Man - Friendly superhero with the proportional strength of a spider.
Punishment Sisters - A magically powered team of female students from Japan.
Ghostbusters - New York ghost catching heroes for hire.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Urban myth from New York that came about due to a teenage prank. The five teens involved were later foretold to be part of prophecy regarding the evil Shredder... when he returns.
This is just a short explanation of where some ideas came from, inspiration etc i) I was asked why there were variations to the timeline here, so allow me to explain. The has been a part of COE since early on when I did Call for Help with Carl Turner. The idea has varied since then, but I've tried to ensure that if I wanted to the JLA could fit in somewhere between season one and Zeo in my timeline.
ii) This idea actually emerged from a conversation with Chris Funaro although I haven't involved a spell or Darkseid, I agree with the premise that Teen Titans is a very watered down version of Young Justice.
iii) Just in case anyone is wondering, I base the Avengers in this series on a mixture of Marvel's Ultimates, the Mangaverse and mainstream Marvel, selecting the characteristics I prefer from each source. Therefore don't expect to see Thor in this series since I chose to use a combination of Manga and Ultimates to make him a god posing as a hippy and having no interest in the world.
iv) Masked Rider is based primarily on the MMPR/Masked Rider.
v) There are multiple sources for this series including the TV show. Firstly I enjoyed reading how Ryuranger had treated them in his Ultimate PR series and actually based my idea on a variation of that theme. Second and most importantly I watched an episode of turtles where Donatello meets an artist whose drawings come to life after he found a crystal and an episode of Dino Thunder where the Rangers become trapped in a comic. I decided the comic series should be finished, but never fully released so the teens will never know everything that was about to come their way. The kids being Mage Level Adepts is based on an Essay by Ellen Brand about the nature of Power Derived Forces.
vi) Okay, where to start. Servo's name obviously comes from Super Human Samurai Syber Squad. He was from what I understand supposed to be the pilot for VR Troopers. More to the point I took inspiration from the original Human Torch. VR in this is a manmade reality, not a computerised world. This is something suggested in a Doctor Who book called Autumn Mist although I adapted the idea to apply to VR. I also freely admit that I was inspired by Ryuranger's interpretations although I preferred the concept that they all fought one opponent instead of fighting on multiple fronts. I also saw the VR Troopers as being a mixture of Iron Man and Centurions. The latter is where I got thee idea for Jeb.
