Young Justice

Nightwing: He's broken away from Batman to become his own independent hero, but Chuck Barnes lived for years under Batman's guidance. He's an incredible detective and trained in several different fighting styles. Armed with several gadgets and a bo-staff, Nightwing's an ordinary human pushed to peak physical conditions.

Superboy: Kon-El's power of tactile telekinesis give him the abilities of flight, super strength and invulnerability. His photonic shield is an homage to his apparent idol, Captain America.

Arrowette: Cissie King-Jones is yet another descendant of a whole family of masked, bowmen heroes, the first female of the line. She has, quite possibly, one of the most accurate eyes in the world. Armed with a whole assortment of trick arrows, she proves that she doesn't need any super powers.

Impulse: Despite an early attempt at a solo career, Bart Allen joined up with the youths in Young Justice and has stayed with the team. His top speed appears to be near the speed of light, and he appears to think only after he acts, if ever.

Jolt: Hallie Takahama's body can absorb any ambient energy and give her super-fast reflexes and armed her with a 'jolt' shock-punch. Jolt joined after being rescued from Armin Zola's castle.

Rebel: Nothing is known about this strange, Asian girl. She appears to be almost mute, knowing maybe ten words at most. But the other members have theorized that, though she cannot speak, she can read body language and knows an opponent's moves before he or she makes one, making her an extremely dangerous fighter.

Empress: Anita Fite comes from a family that had a long tradition of practicing what white people call 'Voodoo'. When she was born, her grandmother cast a protection spell over young Anita...a spell which granted her mysterious powers. At a young age she was already extremely athletic, and as time went on, she discovered she could teleport in a cloud of smoke!

Phoenix: Linda Danvers is a powerful woman. Long had she been fighting off the power inside her, but since accepting it, she is nearly unstoppable. She flies when a bird of fire appears behind her, and has newly discovered telepathic and telekinetic abilities.

Jade: As her skin, eyes, and hair are green, Jennifer Lynn Haden could not hide her name or her abilities from the public. Her force of will allows her to create anything and sustain it as long as she wished. The objects were often used to fight crime, something she became good at. She also appears to have the ability to fly. However, she was adopted and her family history is completely unknown.

Cannonball: Sam Guthrie was a founding member of the New Mutants, believed to be a training group for the outlaw X-Men. His mutant powers allow him to rocket through the sky at incredible speeds. He is then protected by a blast field that makes him virtually invulnerable. It is rumored that he is immortal and part of a group of mutants called the Externals, but it has not been confirmed.

Magik: A Russian mutant and another founding member of the New Mutants, Illyana Rasputin can open portals from one spot to another. However, when travelling, she must stop somewhere else between point A and point B. That place is also known as Limbo, and is responsible for her apparent ability to create a sword and body armor out of midair whenever she gets involved in a battle.

Wonder Girl: It is not quite certain where Cassie Sandsmark obtained the powers which transformed her into Wonder Girl. Originally, it was thought that they were granted by the King of the Norse Gods, Odin. However, recent changes in her powers have contradicted that. She appears to be a very young teenage girl, weak and even scrawny at first glance. Yet, she has powers similar to those of Superboy, only without the telekinesis. She has the abilities of flight, super strength, and invulnerability. She recently returned to the team after being thought dead.
