Tree-Man – power upgrade to 'root' self and grow to enormous size, skin hard as wood, grow various alien fruits, flowers, pollens, thorns and nuts that do cool things, can also change the color of his leafy covering
New name: Hardwood, Timber, Undergrowth, Wildwood, Weald

Liquidman – no longer needs to drink his special elixir, and can change part of all of self solid or liquid as needed, including worn or carried objects (allowing him to grab a bad-guys gun and turn it to water in his hand). Established as a scientist, he builds freeze pellets and burn pellets that allow him to become ice or steam, can also use them as incendiraries or freeze grenades, later will invent shock pellets that allow him to shock people he splashes as well, and poison pellets that allow him to paralyze people
New name: Water, Aquatic, Aqueous, Limnal, Pluvial, Deluge, Serum, Splash, Hydrous, Torrent

Stormboy – needs no upgrade or development from the already cool power to create rainstorms and throw lightning
New names: Tempest, Thunderbolt, Weatherman, Downdraft, Climate, Atmosphere, Cloudburst, Furor, Blitzkrieg, Typhoon, Cyclone, Gale, Hurricane, Blizzard, Windstorm, Squall, Whiteout, Monsoon, Downpour, Deluge, Skyfire, Lightning Rod, Thunderstorm

Shadowman – Establish whether or not he can move fast in altered / intangible state, can become invisible and or can fly? Does he alter particles of things he passes through, making them fall apart (or possibly strengthening them, as he wishes, by 'possessing' an item and using his own self to reinforce their molecular bonds?)?
Dusk, Penumbra, Gloom, Umbra, Vestige, Occult, Shade, Sunset, Twilight, Aphotic, Atrementous, Caliginous, Crepulscular, Inky, Nebulous, Murk, Opaque, Stygian, Tenebrous, Midnight, Eclipse, Nightfall

Telepathy Man – Tulpa/thoughtform, able to generate any item that he can understand, which is mostly simple items, but can study up to create complicated things. Most creations are temporary. Later revealed (when he ‘dies’) that his body is a ‘telepathic projection’ and that the real Telepathy Man never leaves his home world, creating new thoughtforms to project his powers across the galaxy.
Cerebration, Cogitation, Cogito, Thought Lord,
Thoughtmaster, Tulpa, Thoughtform, Reverie, Trance, Daydreamer, Cognate


With names that aren't mock-bait, and powers more clearly established and refined (and, in Liquidman's case, augmented by further use of his scientific genius), the team could be salvagable and used quite seriously.

The silly crown-bestowing collector alien could have turned over a new leaf (or, another member of his species could have done so, to atone for her brother's misdeeds), and serve as their 'R.J. Brande' civilian handler type person, coordinating their actions and providing them a base of operations, etc. Where the first alien basically hornswaggled (and, in some cases, blackmailed!) them into coming to his world, the new contact could simply do her best to keep them coordinated, without imposing any sort of agenda on them. Their related worlds could be close enough together that they serve as a sort of 'local branch' superhero team, in that region, which would be far enough from UP central space as to benefit from having it's own local team for local emergencies, rather than having to call to Earth for Legion assistance and hope they aren't busy / get there in time.

Of course, having no idea what I was writing about, I set it in the 30th century...
