A team of superpowered Quraci operatives.
Heroes?
Villains?
Beats me, I just really like Govt. sponsored teams that straddle the line and operate in the grey.
RUSTAM
Rustam once told Rick Flag that if America had lost the Revolutionary War, history'd know the Founding Fathers as terrorists, not Patriots. Rustam’ll find he needs to change his leadership style, as this team has a completely different agenda (securing Qurac’s borders and safeguarding its ppl) than others he’s been in charge of.
DERVISH
Rustam’s second in command, Dervish is one of the few DC speedsters not connected to the Speed Force. She can run, fly, create gale force winds, and fight opponents at high velocity. She’s an experienced operative, who’s dealt w. foreign governments, covert agencies and metahumans, as both enemies and allies. She knows when to push and when not to.
STORMBREAKER
At one point, a Quraci arms dealer was selling ‘Firestorm Protocols’ to various terrorist cells worldwide. Apparently one of these protocols was missed by U.S. operatives and was activated by an as yet unidentified Quraci citizen, who seems to be learning the ropes of superpowered combat from Rustam.
WUNDAJIN
The dimensionally homeless thundergod recently showed up in Qurac, spotty memory and all, performing heroic acts and happily volunteering to join Rustam’s team instead of fighting them, when confronted. A boisterous bruiser (think Marvel’s Hercules), Wundajin worries Rustam, as a version of the thundergod once died in neighboring Bialya, his radiation riddled corpse desecrated, reanimated, and used as a weapon by that country’s rulers. If Wundajin somehow realizes his connection to those events, and he stops smiling….
SINBAD
The son of Quraci refugees, Davood Nassur was raised in America. The young man recently returned to his home country to meet distant relatives, was approached by Rustam and asked to stay for a while and use his powers to help a country he’s only ever heard stories of. A low level telekinetic who’s powers were permanently boosted by a prototype enhancement device, Davood once KO’d Superman himself, which he tries not to take TOO much pride in.
MANTICORE
Qurac’s first three Manticores all died in battle, while the fourth is a member of the Global Guardians. This fifth Manticore volunteered to undergo Qurac’s M-process after being diagnosed w. a terminal illness, giving up his humanity so his family would be compensated by the Govt. Now, as a combination of man, lion, hawk, and scorpion, Manticore is savage fighter and has the psionic ability to track a target across half the world if necessary.
DJINN
At over 4,000 years old, Djinn has had many masters (including Genghis Khan and Napoleon Bonaparte) , but as of right now she is free and unencumbered and she’s decided to take up residence in Qurac for some mysterious reason. She was polite enough though to announce her intentions to the Govt. and even agreed to help out Qurac’s new superteam when needed. While Rustam sees her power as an advantage, he also sees yet another potential problem down the road the same as w. Wundajin.
