    Huh. That’s a pretty diverse team.

    Wally West: the heart (When ever they stop trying to destroy the character)
    And Vixen in versatile sixth ranger role.
    J’onn talking Vixen into recruiting Citizen Steel, the new Vibe, Zatanna and Elongated Man to search for the missing Gypsy, last seen in Detroit, would be nice.

    Suicide Squad is made up of villains. The OP is talking about a team of heroes.

    Suicide Squad isn't just villains though and the OP doesn't specify heroes.

Individually they might not sell but lump them together and you might have a book that sells decent. Who are DC comics most popular C list characters?

    That is a great idea, back up stories in monthlies allow those characters who are popular, but not enough to hold a monthly title yet, a spot to shine. It also allows their popularity to grow. Afterall, Green Arrow was a monthly in Batman before he became popular. Green Lantern/Green Arrow aside. I would love to know the back history of monthly's.

    Citizen Steel, Elongated Man, and Gypsy aren’t really “B list”. The OP’s question was about characters on the cusp of being able to hold down a monthly consistently, but not quite there. Same goes for most of the Outsiders. Black Lightning and possibly Katana (because of the mainstream appearances) are the only ones I’d consider B list.

    I find it difficult...

    I have to say that I think that many characters would be good Solo-Characters if they would be aged up.

    The ToT Rebirth Version of Cassandra Sandsmark was AWESOME and I would love to see a Series with her.
    A mix between Black Canary and Wonder Woman...

    We have different definitions of B list. No worries.

    I can see a new incarnation of "The Terrifics" that take on this kind of lineup, with Mr Terrific, Martian Manhunter, Power Girl, Firestorm and ... Star Sapphire!

    I wish DC would try and assemble and launch more alternative groups.
    And yes call them anything other than Another Justice ______ Team
    Actual new names and reasons for being.
    As per Outsiders, and Terrifics.

    This ^

    J'onzz re-imagined Detroit era team. Would be great!
    If Batman can still have his outsiders, J'onzz can have his team. (they just needs their own name)
    And absolutely bring in Zatanna as co-founder. (J'onzz and Zee launching their own team again fit the OP's criteria)

    Just give them a new name - https://community.cbr.com/showthread...=1#post4067386
    And- https://community.cbr.com/showthread...=1#post4802291

    I was about to suggest Formerly Known As The Justice League, and obviously the team line up is
    Booster Gold
    Blue Beetle
    Fire
    Ice
    Elongated Man
    Dr Light
    Crimson Fox
    Rocket Red
    L-ron

    And managed by Oberon and funded by Sue Dibney

    Hercules Unbound
    Rocket Red (Dmitri Pushkin)
    Damage (Ethan Avery)
    The Atom (Ray Palmer)
    Bumblebee

    Soon joined by Guardian (Jim Harper)

    The Aven-uh, NOT The Avengers!

    Another option is to bring back World's Finest or Adventure Comics with several individual stories in each issue. This would be great for characters who have a fan-base but have trouble maintaining a monthly book such as:


    Atom
    Black Canary
    Black Lightning
    Blue Beetle
    Booster Gold
    Captain Atom
    Donna Troy
    Dr. Fate
    Firestorm
    Green Arrow
    Mr. Terrific(Michael)
    Plastic Man
    Power Girl
    Steel
    Vibe
    Vixen
    Zatanna
