This team was for me the absolute worst aspect of Simon Furman's otherwise enjoyable run. Brain Drain was pre-existing and was the most interesting of the lot. All derivitive characters, expecially Miss Mass from Pink Pearl and Bile from Pestilence. Then there's an ultra-90's hot cyborg chick and pretty forgettable token strong character and token beserker.
And the team Furman created for the Northstar LS was just as bad for me, for the same reason as the original Gamma Flight: Look, a team custom made for Alpha to kick their buts: big hairy creature for Sasquatch, twins for the twins, guy in tech suit to fight Guardian....
Some of the villains are best forgotten.
