- Shape – Raleigh Lund is a supervillain with elasticity who is loosely based on Plastic Man. He later defected to the Squadron Supreme.

- Redstone - Michael Redstone is a superhero with super-strength.
- Moonglow - Melissa Hanover is an illusion-casting superhero.

- Pinball - Chester Freeman is a former villain of Nighthawk who can inflate himself into a ball and bounce around when in a ball-like shape.

All-New All-Different Marvel
[edit]In the post-Secret Wars world several superheroes from destroyed alternate universes form a new Squadron Supreme.[volume and issue needed]
Squadron Supreme of America
[edit]The Squadron Supreme of America are simulacrums that were created by Mephisto and programmed by the Power Elite to serve as the United States of America's sanctioned superhero team.[1] Among its members are:
- Doctor Spectrum (Joseph Ledger) - Leader. As a civilian, he works as a colonel in the United States Air Force.
- Hyperion (Marcus Milton) - Hyperion was programmed to be a mild-mannered man raised by farmers who had the strength of an Eternal. As a civilian, he works as a history teacher at Buscema High School in Kensington, Maryland.
- Power Princess (Zarda Shelton) - Power Princess was programmed to be a lustful power woman from Utopia Isle who wore a special necklace to dampen her powers when in her secret identity as a professional boxer.
- Nighthawk (Kyle Richmond) - An African-American variation of Kyle Richmond. Nighthawk was programmed to be in top physical condition while sporting some doubt and jealousy for his teammates enough for him to brood. As a civilian, he is a U.S. congressman elected to the House of Representatives to represent Washington DC.
- Blur (Stanley Stewart) - Blur was programmed to forcefully watch endless loops to keep up his brain speed while watching numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. files and unscrupulous videos. As a civilian, he works as a computer programmer at an office building in Washington DC.
Other Squadron universe characters
[edit]A handful of other heroes and villains were seen in the Squadron series and elsewhere, most of whom were also directly analogous to specific DC characters.
- Bollix and the Rustler (Whizzer's foes, based on the Trickster and Terra-Man[citation needed])
- Brain-Child (Avengers #85-86)
- Master Menace (based on Lex Luthor) - Menace has hair that will not stop growing[volume and issue needed]
- Cerebrax (based on Brainiac[citation needed]) - Master Menace's android servant).
- Professor Imam (the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-712, and with his past membership in "The Golden Agency",[citation needed] a stand-in for Doctor Fate.[citation needed])
- Mysterium (based on Phantom Stranger[citation needed] the current form of the being who tried to swallow the Squadron's universe).[2]
- Neal Richmond - Kyle Richmond adopted the biological son of the Huckster after the villain's death and raised him as his own. Neal eventually becomes the new Nighthawk.[3]
New World Order also mentioned a number of other unseen characters with DC Universe analogues, such as the Erl King (a Swamp Thing analogue[citation needed]) and Nighthawk's archfoe Huckster (an obvious take on Joker[citation needed]).
There are also occasional references to a World War II superhero team called the Golden Agency, which included among its members Power Princess, the American Eagle, and Professor Imam.[citation needed]
