The Heroes are a team of fictional superheroes published by DC Comics. The team debuted in Heroes #1 (May 1996), and was created by Matt Wayne and ChrisCross.
Publication history
It was originally intended as a replacement in the Milestone Comics line-up for Shadow Cabinet, which was not selling well. The series took several of the Shadow Cabinet's more appealing members and put them in a more traditional superhero team, along with Static, a popular solo character. As Milestone's overall sales continued to decline, it was changed to a limited series. Milestone canceled the remainder of their ongoing series shortly thereafter. Heroes was notable for including Donner and Blitzen, an openly lesbian couple in an otherwise "mainstream" superhero series.
The team consisted primarily of refugees from the Shadow Cabinet, a covert organization dedicated to saving humanity from itself, through questionable means. Fed up with that mode of operation, they and some allies established themselves as an above-ground superhero team, named (off the cuff) "Heroes".
Synopsis
The team comes together when various heroes arrive to help save lives in the aftermath of a town being flooded. They continue to work together which raises the ire of the Shadow Cabinet, whom several of the team have worked for. They are forced to fight a Cabinet attack squad, led by the member called Iron Butterfly.
Membership
