The Recombatants were a team of four young experiments.

History

Created by Dayton Labs in Nevada, the experiment involved artificial intelligence and DNA and used Promethium as a continually generating energy source. They were:

  • Aurora, a girl with illusion casting and mental powers
  • Pseudos, a boy with shape-shifting powers
  • Topaz, a girl with magnetic powers
  • Dreadnaught, a boy with super-strength and invulnerability

However, they were deemed a failure and scheduled for destruction. The four escaped to nearby Las Vegas, where they had a brief fight with the New Teen Titans. Both teams quickly resolved their issues when the Titans realized their opponents aren't a threat, and all returned to Dayton Labs. Realizing they could never lead a normal life and knowing their time was up anyway, the Recombatants destroyed the lab's energy core as well as all the material needed to make new experimental heroes.
