The Outsiders
Batman formed the Outsiders after he left the JLA. He left the JLA because, at the time, Batman was in Markovia, an Eastern European country, to investigate the war raging in the country. Baron Bedlam had killed the ruler of the country, King Viktor. Then he captured Lucius Fox (see Wayne Enterprises), so Batman felt the need to save him. When Batman came to the Justice League telling them this, they told him to stay out of the way of their war. Batman was furious and left the JLA for Lucius. When Batman got there, he found a man, Rex Mason, who had gained powers from a scientist named Dr. Helga Jace. Dr. Jace did it to attempt to stop Bedlam from destroying the country. Rex Mason gave himself the name Metemorpho, with the ability to shift himself into any element on the periodic table of elements. After he found Metemorpho, he was in the woods and found a young amnesic woman. He discovered that she bared the power of light. He called the woman Halo. The three superheroes decided to team up to fight Bedlam, and won. After that, they stuck together. They called themselves the Outsiders, because that is what they felt like they were.
