The Desperadoes

A motley collection of villains, who never got much respect from other teams. The Desperadoes were eventually captured by Kodiak and Jade and have attempted to re-form from time to time, but with mixed success.

The membership of the Desperadoes consisted of:

Trickshot (DJ Simpson) was a down-on-his-luck rodeo performer. During a robbery, Simpson was zapped by electricity from a supercomputer, giving him a computer-enhanced targeting sense and the delusion that he is some kind of mastermind.

Mr. Frost (Sydney Harris) was the vertically-challenged janitor at a cryogenics lab who tinkered in his spare time. He turned to a life of crime for revenge on all the jokes told at his expense over the years. He has an array of cold-based weapons, including a frost gun and superskates.

Knockout (Sheila Pugnatowski) was a down-on-her-luck Las Vegas foxy boxer who accepted cyber-muscular implants from the mob to maker her an unbeatable fighter. The rest of her ain't no implants, she can tell ya!

Since her prison sentence, Sheila has divorced Mr Frost and gone legit, taking a job in New York with Kodiak.

VARIAN-7 is a down-on-its-luck alien robot who came to Earth claiming to be a deadly wardroid. In reality, it was a butler droid, and had no weapons, so its pretense didn't last long. Still, can't blame a bot for trying! A stolen energy crystal it has in its chest cavity allows its to radiate psychic energy and phase through solid objects.

Yama (Kenoshi Heyatsu): a (yes, down-on-etc.) sumo wrestler whose abilities were enhanced by ninja magic, Yama worked as a mercenary for the Mitsugatana for a time, but later took the job with the Desperadoes, because they paid him in pork chops. His body is protected by an impenetrable layer of blubber, which he takes pains to keep gelatinous.

The Desperadoes' most famous caper was when they inadvertently helped Surge and SHOC defeat an alien invasion. Disguised as tourists, they were trying to rob an ocean liner, but the aliens were also trying to rob the liner--to steal it away to their own museum. What a mess.

The Desperadoes were also known to other villain groups as the Legion of Losers.
