History
The Inferior Five are the progeny and heirs of the Freedom Brigade, a team of costumed adventurers of another alternate earth, Earth-Twelve, from before the Crisis on Infinite Earths. After the Brigade retired, they pressed their children into following their legacy using their gifts and powers, a task they only followed half-heartedly.
Only a few of their adventures were documented involving the old foes of their parents and a visit to Asgard to meet the Norse Gods, but they were away from their native timeline during the Crisis and apparently surviving it. They encountered the Zoo Crew during the Oz-Wonderland War, but Dumb Bunny was later reunited with her half-sister, Angel O'Day, a detective in the Angel and the Ape detective agency on Earth. Their current wherabouts are unrevealed.
Paraphernalia
Equipment: The Lukewarm Line is their main mode of communication.
Transportation: The Inferi-Car is a non-oufitted vehicle used by the group.
