The OUTSIDERS

The Outsiders are a group of heroes based in Los Angeles, California. Originally formed when Geo-Force, Black Lightning, Halo, Metamorpho, and Katana all banded together to help Batman stop the ruthless Baron Bedlam, the Outsiders have since picked up two new members, Looker and Windfall. For a short time Batman left the group due to a philosophical dispute, but then rejoined.

The team moved from LA to Gotham City after agreeing to become unofficial agents of the Markovian Government. In return it is allowed to maintain a secret headquarters on Station Markovia, and is provided with the services of Dr. Helga Jace, Markovia's Nobel prize-winning scientist, who also serves as a liaison between the group and the government.
