Bradamante
(Brenda Martin)
An expert in survival techniques and search and rescue, Brenda's also a trained paramedic. More impressively though, she is the host of a spirit of chivalry that has empowered women throughout history. With this spirit she can call upon tactical knowledge, mastery of weapons and combat, as well as a magical breastplate and shield that can provide protection from injury. There may be more, but she remains unaware of them...for now.
Firebrand
(Danette Reilly-Arthur)
Firebrand can generate an aura of heat, flame and light which she can direct for protection, attack and flight. She can also magnify or extinguish fires in her line of sight. She is a geologist specializing in vulcanology though her knowledge is out of date; discouraged by this, she has turned her keen analytical mind toward the business world.
La Garra
(Yolanda Montez)
La Garra is a metahuman born with feline qualities, including superhuman agility and reflexes, potent night-vision and sharp hearing. She can also extend extra-hard nails an inch to make dangerous weapons and for climbing. How she was born this way is a mystery to her, as she was raised in an orphanage with no knowledge of her parents.
Gimmick
(Hayley Creamer Pemberton)
A precocious teen-ager who can think at tremendous speeds due to an ability to multi-track her thought processes, but with a lack of skill in controlling this constant thinking. She is a brilliant kit-basher, able to jury-rig tremendously effective one-shot devices at the bleeding edge of science.
Maya
The strong right hand of Travis Wing and the Line of Wing, Maya is smart and skilled in a number of areas, including administration, medicine and piloting. She seems to possess some form of healing ability as well, though the extent is as-yet unknown. She prefers to take supporting roles for Wing, though her heart burns strongly for him.
Oliver Queen
One of the best archers in the world, Ollie (as he's known to his friends) was best known to the public as the Green Arrow, an identity he left to his son Connor after a crisis of faith in his government and humanity in general. Now he's working for Greg Saunders and fighting alongside the Soldiers when they need him, putting his combat skills and experience at their service while finding himself.
Sally Bonner
The second recorded host of the mysterious spirit of the Crimson Avenger, Sally has earned a spot as an honorary Soldier and learning about the world of superheroes with Wing due to her heroism in rescuing Firebrand from an old foe, scarring her hands in the process.
Shining Knight
(Sir Justin Arthur)
A Knight of the Round Table, Sir Justin has now twice been hurled into the future, first arriving in the 1940s to fight in World War II at the side of the Seven Soldiers, then with the Soldiers hurled into the present day. He is an incredibly skilled swordsman and warrior, with a magical blade that can cut any material and enchanted chain mail that can protect him from the worst injuries. He is aided by a winged horse named Victory, his only tie to his native time.
Skyman
(Sylvester Pemberton)
A brilliant young man focused on business and theoretical design, he originally developed the plans for a cosmic converter belt based off Starman's cosmic rod. Now in the present day, Syl (as he likes to be called) modified the plans to create a powersuit that grants him similar, but expanded powers: able to fly, fire blasts of force or energy, erect defensive screens, and with the promise of more to come as he becomes more skilled in it. He's a capable athlete and martial artist as well.
Stripe
(Patrick Dugan)
Pat Dugan is trying to leave his past as Stripe behind him, but can't let his team-mates, or his best friend, down when they really need him. His powerful build and knowledge of fisticuffs serves the team well, but it's his practical engineering and mechanical skills that make him invaluable; it's Pat that takes the insane designs of his partner Skyman and turns them into reality, and as outdated as it looks, Stripe is one of the few people in history with a flying car, of his own making.
Vigilante I
(Greg Saunders)
The Prairie Troubador, Greg Saunders is a skilled singer and guitarist. More importantly, he's a crack shot with his Colt Peacemakers and Winchester rifle (as well as most other firearms he can lay his hands on), skilled with the lariat and a master of horse and motorcycle. He's the world's leading expert on cowboys, the Wild West region and era of the U.S., packs a mean right hook and cooks an excellent steak. Due to a mishap in retrieving him from the accident that threw the Soldiers throughout history, Greg spent twenty years in the past, and this has helped him enter semi-retirement.
(Son of) Vulcan
Miguel DeVante
Mickey DeVante has had strange powers awakened in him when attacked by his father, an astronaut gone crazy and turned into a fiery villain called Vulcan. Now Mickey is immune to heat and flame of any temperature (so far), and can take fire and mold it into any object he can imagine. No one's really sure how this came about, or how it works.
Wing
(Travis Wing)
The great-grandson of Wing How, the partner of the original Crimson Avenger in the Forties, Travis is the head of the Line of Wing, a secret society composed of close family and allies dedicated at first to finding the Crimson Avenger, and now aiding Lee's spirit in its quest and releasing it. Wing is a fearsome martial artist, with mastery in several forms of combat, Eastern and Western. He's also skilled in meditation, channeling his Qi for recovery and insight. The full reach of the Line of Wing remains a mystery, even to the other Soldiers at this time.
