Ruby "Pufferfish" Peet: Her allergies help her detect danger and dishonesty.
Heathcliff "Choppers" Hodges: He controls minds with his buckteeth.
Julio "Flinch" Escala: His hyperactivity gives him super speed and strength.
Matilda "Wheezer" Choi: Her inhalers enable her to fly and blast enemies.
Jackson "Braceface" Jones, the new recruit. This metal mouth is the team's go-to gadget guy . . . if only he can get over becoming a NERD.
