Ok, I going to submit the rest of The Oz-Stars. I give full permission to use them in a story, as long as you ask me first. Here they are:

Name: Brightlight (Charlotte âCharlieâ Bright)
Age: 20
Abilities: Light based powers (e.g. shooting lasers from her hands) and flight
Personality and Background: She is the daughter of two superheroes and the granddaughter of another. She often has doubts about herself and living up to the legacy they left behind.

Name: KMH (Katie Henderson)
Age: 20
Abilities: Super speed - top speed: approx. 500km/h (310 mph)
Personality and Background: She is a friend of Azumorphâs from his Chango Presto days. She is very enthusiastic, but she is sometimes ditzy and has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth.

Name: Marker (Marcus Hubbard)
Age: 28
Abilities: Has no super powers, uses a paintball gun (marker) and âtrick paintballsâ filled with things like acid, nitro-glycerine, liquid nitrogen and glue.
Personality and Background: HUBâs younger brother; he took it upon himself to become a hero after his sister became a high ranking member of HU. He is a rather snarky individual.

Name: Syd and Jacob Leiber
Age: 60 (Syd) 30 (Jacob)
Abilities: Jacob has the ability to merge with Syd, essentially becoming the golem. Syd is a metal golem with super strength and durability. When Jacob is merged with Syd, he loses the ability to speak.
Personality and Background: Syd was built in Poland during WW2 by Jacobâs father; it was apparently destroyed during the war. Eventually, Syd was found, rebuilt and was shipped to Australia, as the Leiber family has emigrated there after the war. Since his father had passed away, Jacob became Sydâs new owner.

Personality and Background: She is a 140-year-old, lesbian vampire from Romania who moved to Australia with her partner. She is more or less a socialite, and is one of the nicest people in the world.

Thanks, I added them to the list.

Octopuses are bound to be green or gray, aren't they? :-)

maybe some kinda green and purple since Octo's can change color to conceal themselves :)

Hey, you're right! I recently saw this octopus on TV which could change its color and mimic all sorts of other animals.

You mean this :D

The mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus is a species of octopus that grows up to 60 cm (2 feet) in length and is naturally colored with brown and white stripes and spots. So whatâs so special about it? The mimic octopus can literally mimic the physical appearance and movement of fifteen different species, that we know of (including, but not limited to sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, flounders, jellyfish, sea anemones).

I think you guys might be on to something here. I suppose I could add colour changing/camouflage to Deep Man's power set. That way we can we can say he changes colour depending on his mood (or to hide)
