** Each of the members have superpowers or combat styles based on their stereotypes: Bob is a natural leader and TheCape, Jack is a ScaryBlackMan with SuperStrength, Velma engages in HollywoodHacking and can break into any system, Tony is very good with guns and prefers GunsAkimbo, and Alice is AwesomenessByAnalysis, a living calculator who can provide data with LudicrousPrecision. Jack speaks in poorly-written Ebonics, Tony talks like Speedy Gonzalez, and Alice is heavily-accented and speaks unusually bubbly regardless of her mood.
