Villains

Baron Bedlam
This would-be conquestor was the first enemy the Outsiders had to deal with. A neo-nazi villain, and grandson of a dictator who once invaded Markovia's borders where he took over for a time during WW2, Bedlam himself tried to take over the country and usurp it from its rightful heirs once again during the early 1980's, even taking Wayne Enterprises excecutive Lucius Fox hostage, and forcing Batman into action to save his alter ego's good employee. Though Bedlam was crushed initially by Geo-Force in a showdown at the governmental palace of Markovia, he was later resurrected via cloning, and targeted the goodies again, including Infinity Inc.

Force of July
This was a group of would-be patriots who drew the ire of the heroes a couple of times. Their leader was Major Victory, the only one whose own true identity was not kept secret, but the source of his powers (super-strength and endurance) was: they were channelled by his costume, and should it be removed, so too would be his powers.

The rest of the members included Lady Liberty, whose power was via her hand-held torch weapon (flight and energy blasts), Silent Majority, who could produce multiple duplicates of himself (and usually spoke in one-syllable words like "yep", "nope", and "huh?"), Mayflower, who could control plant life, causing it to grow very fast, and Sparkler, a young boy who could generate firework-like effects and fly.

They were even once captured by the Soviets, who analyzed their powers to enable them to form their own super-team, the People's Heroes. Later, they were killed off, and only Major Victory survived, becoming a member of the Suicide Squad. But then, he too was killed off, in the early 1990's.

The People's Heroes
This was a Soviet super-team whose powers were developed by the Russians using data analyzed from the Force of July. They fought the Outsiders a few times, and at least once, they fought the Suicide Squad too. Their roster even included a husband and wife named Hammer and Sickle!

Masters of Disaster
Not much is known about the history of the group of super-villains calling themselves the Masters of Disaster. They are a group of mercenaries, and each member of the group controls at least one super-power related in some way to a natural disaster. New-Wave and Windfall are sisters, and Coldsnap and Heatsroke are lovers; their only motivation for joining the Masters of Disaster is to amass enough money to cure their conditions. The Masters of Disaster have fought numerous times with the hero group the Outsiders, and they have spent a good amount of time in the Slab, a prison for super-powered villains. Windfall eventually left the team to join the Outsiders.
