->''"You haven’t heard much about Tao, have you? In my version you get back what you give--only more so!"''

Tao Jones was one of a group of six children born with super powers after being experimented on in the womb by the deranged Dr. Love. Tao behaves like one of the youngest of Helix. She's rowdy, immature and tends to feud with Arak.

!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Infinity Inc.'' #17 (August, 1985)
->''"The name's Penny Dreadful, shades...and like any good copper penny, I make a damn good electrical conductor!"''

Penny Dreadful was a member of Helix, a group of mutant teenagers created as a result of illegal experiments performed on them while still in the womb by the insane Dr Amos Love. Penny turned up again years later working as secretary to her former teammate Mr Bones in his new role as Director of the DEO. She eventually returned to villainy though, briefly working for the sorceress Circe, and later clashed with Congorilla and Mikaal Tomas while working for Prometheus.
----

* TheParalyzer: Penny eventually developed the ability to modulate her lightning discharges to lock the muscles of her target, making it very difficult to move.

* TeamMom: Penny Dreadful behaves as the oldest Helix member after Bones. She views him more as a peer than as a father figure. She helps him maintain order among the turbulent Helix members.

The young woman known only by the names Babe or Baby Boom is one of the six genetically mutated children that formed the villain group Helix. In the case of Baby Boom, Love's genetic tinkering resulted in the young girl gaining the paranormal ability to cause explosions with the power of her mind, a form of telekinesis. Unfortunately, the meddling also caused her to physically stop aging at the point when she became five years old; thus, even though she is chronologically a young woman, she still looks like a five-year-old child.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Her mutation caused her to physically stop aging at the point when she became five years old; thus, even though she is chronologically a young woman, she still looks like a five-year-old child.

!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Infinity Inc.'' #17 (August, 1985)

Helix were a group of six mutated children experimented on in the womb by the deranged Dr Benjamin Love. As each child was born, he spirited them away, telling their parents they were stillborn, and raised them in secret before disappearing, leaving them with no experience of the wider world and no moral sense. Calling themselves Helix, the now teenage kids-Mr. Bones, Penny Dreadful, Kritter, Baby Boom, Tao Jones and Arak Wind-Walker-embarked on a career as super villains, repeatedly clashing with Infinity Inc.
----
* SecretProjectRefugeeFamily: Helix members were raised outside of conventional morality. Until their late teens, they only knew about the world through television. They walked into the world as rowdy teens, which led to trouble and exacerbated their clan-like mentality. Being the only people they’ve known for more than 15 years, they tend to distrust outsiders. They also need to be together.
* TaughtByTelevision: Growing up, the children knew of the outside only what they learned from books and movies.

Hector Hall was born in Cairo, Egypt, while his parents, Carter and Shiera Hall, were on an archaeological expedition. Hector felt neglected as he grew up, even though his mother had retired from crime-fighting. Carter would continue to battle villains as Hawkman, and he and Shiera would often go on expeditions, leaving Hector with babysitters. Although they did not know it the curse Hath-Set placed on them also affected any child born to either one of them. Because of the curse placed on his parents Hector was born with no soul, meant to be a vessel of the Silver Scarab to act as an agent of vengeance for the villainous Hath-Set. As a child of former JSA members Hector grew up knowing the many children of the Justice Society including Al Rothstein (Godchild of the original Atom, Al Pratt) who would become the Atom-Smasher, Lyta Trevor (daughter of the original Fury), and Rick Tyler son of Rex Tyler, the original Hourman.

Hector Hall was born in Cairo, Egypt, while his parents, Carter and Shiera Hall, were on an archaeological expedition. Hector felt neglected as he grew up, even though his mother had retired from crime-fighting. Carter would continue to battle villains as Hawkman, and he and Shiera would often go on expeditions, leaving Hector with babysitters. Although they did not know it the curse Hath-Set placed on them also affected any child born to either one of them. Because of the curse placed on his parents Hector was born with no soul, meant to be a vessel of the Silver Scarab to act as an agent of vengeance for the villainous Hath-Set. As a child of former JSA members Hector grew up knowing the many children of the Justice Society including Al Rothstein (Godchild (godchild of the original Atom, Al Pratt) who would become the Atom-Smasher, Lyta Trevor (daughter of the original Fury), Wonder Woman), and Rick Tyler son of Rex Tyler, the original Hourman.

Hector went to UCLA and there he began building the armored suit he would eventually wear as the Silver Scarab. Meeting up with his childhood friend, Lyta Trevor, at UCLA the two began dating, and one night Hector showed her his Silver Scarab costume. The armor was made of Nth metal, the element which allows the various Hawks to fly. Coincidentally, Lyta, daughter of the Golden-Age Fury, longed to become the new Amazon Princess. That night, they asked their parents to sponsor them for membership into the Justice Society. Along with Northwind and Nuklon, they were turned down due to their inexperience. Unperturbed, they formed a new heroic group - Infinity Inc.

Dr. Elizabeth Chapel, alias Doctor Midnight was the successor to Charles [=McNider=] (Doctor Mid-Nite). As the aging McNider spent less time in action, Beth Chapel, a medical doctor, stepped into the role of Doctor Midnight. During the onset of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Beth was blinded by an oxygen explosion, only to be rescued by Hourman's son Rick Tyler, who had taken his father's Miraclo to enhance his strength. Dr. McNider performed emergency surgery on Beth, and while he couldn't restore her day vision, he did give her his ability to see in the dark. Beth and Rick assume the mantles of their predecessors as Doctor Midnight and Hourman, with her mother crafting a super hero costume from a choir robe. Along with a new Wildcat, Chapel and Tyler applied for membership in Infinity, Inc, eventually gaining admission; however, the association was short-lived, as Infinity, Inc. disbanded shortly thereafter, though Chapel and Tyler began a romantic relationship during their tenure.
