Dr. Fate Allegiance: con artist Abilities: photographic memory, high intelligence
Dr Fate goes by Frank A. Taylor-Edwards in real life - but that's not is real name and one knows that he is going by an alias. A con artist with a photographic memory, he notices things and puts things together that make people think he is physic. He just fakes it really good for his own personal gain. Sometimes he will help the little person but most likely he will just screw them over.
Daffyd ap Gwyn heard as a child that his family was descended from the Authurian knight, Gawain, and that a gift was supposed to manifest in a certain number of generations. (The exact number always changed, and had, thus far, always been wrong.)
So he was kind of surprised when he discovered that the gift wasn't just a family myth, and he transformed at the hour of 12 o'clock into a powerful figure who looked very little like his otherwise mousy self. With superhuman strength, a booming voice and a stunning mastery of medieval weaponry, he stopped a bank robbery on his lunch break, and was dismayed at 1 PM when he reverted to his true form as a weedy young historian.
So now he gets into position, knowing that he only has one hour a day to exhibit his magically-enhanced strength and attempt to right wrongs. (Or, at least, rearrange furniture in his loft, real quick.)
During his 'hour of power,' he calls himself the Hourman, not wanting anyone to know the mythological source of his strength, after first reading the papers calling him the 'man of the hour.' He also has another nickname, after his somewhat lustier-than-expected superhuman alterego was found canoodling with a damsel he had just rescued, Nooner.

Allegiance: None Abilities: Time shifting abilities. Can move forward in time up to 10 seconds at a time.
Brian Frobert was bored at work one day and wished he could speed up the clock. He realized that after doing so, he was ten seconds ahead. Figuring that this was not necessarily a power with somewhat limited applications, he has limited his ability to play annoying pranks on his friends.
The Ambush Bug is a mystical computer virus created by Hex. It ambushes computers systems, without warning, and when it seems like it's disappeared, the truth is it's there all along, bugging the systems for Hex to spy on, and just waiting for the chance to ambush again and crash the system.

Lodestone
Allegiance: Herself
Rhea Jones, aka Lodestone, was diving in the Caribbean when she stumbled upon a suit of ancient mystical Atlantean armor made of magnetically-empowered stone. In this blocky slate-grey suit, she possesses great strength and resistance to harm, and can levitate herself through the air. She possesses limited magnetic abilities, primarily being able to repel incoming metallic projectiles, or draw metal items to her grasp from across the room.
While a sweet girl before, devoting her life to social work and charitable works, the magnetic fields of the Lodestone 'armor' have warped her brain, and made her erratic, violent and acquisitive. The truth behind her turn to villainy is more sinister indeed, as the spirit of an ancient malign entity has entered her from within the armor, where it lay dormant, and is now using her 'supervillain career' as cover to gather together magical relics and items of technology that will allow this ancient evil to re-awaken more of its former kind, and give them new bodies with which to once again walk the earth.
