History[]
Enter the Outsiders[]
The Outsiders are a group of teenage heroes consisting of Black Lightning, Katana and Metamorpho. At first, they appear as vigilantes gone rogue under the brainwashing control of the Slug. With the aid of Batman and Wildcat they break their conditioning, turn on the Slug and begin training under Wildcat's tutelage.
Duel of the Double Crossers[]
The Outsiders later fight Despero in a simulation created by Batman in the Batcave.
Inside the Outsiders[]
The team are kidnapped by Psycho Pirate, who feeds on their rage by trapping them in nightmares. Batman enters their minds to help them confront their anger and fear and defeat Psycho Pirate.
Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster[]
The Outsiders return with new members Geo-Force and Halo added to the roster. They work together with Batman to stop Kobra, and his plan of global domination and his cultists. Black Lightning and Katana are now older, and sport their classic attire. Although Batman and the Outsiders defeated Kobra, the Outsiders forgot to blow up the bridge which would have prevented other Kobra soldiers from arriving.
