Justice League

First thing I should probably mention that I was unaware of when writing the brief is that there is a group of misfit superheroes that go by the name of the Outsiders.
The Outsiders are a fictional DC comics superhero team. As its name suggests, the team consists of superheroes who allegedly do not fit the norms of the mainstream superhero community, namely the Justice League.

The Story

The team has moved into a new headquarters in Los Angeles, and once again becomes involved in an adventure with the Force of July, ending in Moscow. Villains such as the Duke Of Oil and the Soviet superteam, the People's Heroes, are introduced during this time. The team's adventures take them all over the globe, most notably when the Outsiders' plane is shot down and the team is marooned on a deserted island for three weeks. Tensions rise as Geo-Force tries to resign his leadership and he and Looker give in to temptation. Eventually, they are found and are able to leave.

Even more troubles arise when a detective is hired to look into Looker's private life (now working as a model under the alias of Lia Briggs), who learns of her actual identity of Emily. The detective tries to blackmail her, but she hypnotizes him and makes him leave. However, he is killed shortly afterward and Looker is arrested as a suspect. The Outsiders, fortunately, are able to clear her name.
