It's basically some of the guys that co-starred action comics magazine back in the day. Zatara actually made his debut with superman in the same issue. Honestly, dc doesn't look into its publication enough. There is a treasure trove of characters with huge variety,not just superheroes.
Not sure what this Egyptian themed team would be named, but I could see them in a 12 issue limited series, tackling a specific mission. There’d be a lot of globe trotting, some space travel, maybe even a little time hopping. Could be fun.
^ That looks freakin' great^
Lol, I don't know if I really want a 3RD beetle active but do this and I can't wait to have a "the beetles" joke in the book.
This. Because I'm a Just a little lazy. . . I should do the illustrations you taught me haha.
Still, though.
Netflix Defenders.
Josiah Power (from the power company) = Luke Cage, Power Man
Richard Dragon (Granted otherworldy power from the black candle of neron + martial arts) = Iron First.
Dr. Midnite = Daredevil both blind street level crimefighter. I don't have the best understanding of the dr if I'm honest but hey there you go. I do get "I don't need to see so let me blind everyone" as a tactic
Manhunter = Kate Spencer / Jessica Jones
I say I'm lazy because I should really do a set of pics with this but also...
I should probably do the real "Dc comics: heroes for hire" with this as a base but... just off the top of my head starting with Josiah Power / Richard Dragon as Power man and Iron first just... it just writes itself.
I'd give Richard Dragon some lingering hell powers from Neron so he's yes an amazing martial artist "the best" but also... he's a magical scrapper.
The team would have a lot or realms covered. Corporate/Political, Mystical, and Sci-fi if the Kate Spencer orgin was played up a lot more.

My priority is enjoying and supporting stories of timeless heroism and conflict.
Everything else is irrelevant.
^^^hey we have like 7 earth born GLs! No reason Green should get all the love.
Seriously though, thanks for liking the team. I almost did add the other Beetles (and even Booster Gold), but it started getting too unwieldy.
^^^i really like this idea.
Richard Dragon w. a Supernatural ability he could adapt into his fighting style would be pretty cool!
Plus now I really want to see this crossover happen...:
This version of H4H even had their own lawyer, since She-Hulk was on the team. She could spout legal mumbo jumbo right back at Josiah Power if he tried to get funny.
Maybe the classic Trinity with Metropolis, Gotham and WW then at the UN (or Washington?) count as East coast Trinity.
And as you indicate Flash, Martian Manhunter maybe and the Hawks as "Middle America"
I always thought of the Hard Traveling Heroes as the West Coast Trinity.

.... Anyone ever notice that the Trinity basically has the avengers as some of thier primary enemies?
There came a day like no other....
Bane = Captain America Chemically enhanced superhuman
Ironman = Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. . . wait... Did I say Iron Man? I mean Lex luthor
Ares: A Warrior BORN. Prince to the the King of the gods constantly finding himself intrigued by the machinations of the mortal realm...
They are: THE AVENGERS!
You could also do the dark avengers with that same template.
Captain Atom is the sentry and is slowly being mentally consumed by his future self. Monarch.
