The Vermin

The Vermin first banded together to offer their services to Sargon as mercenaries. However, Sargon spurned them, describing them as "a gang of loathsome vermin, not fit for my company." They took his scornful words as a badge of honor and set forth to gain revenge on a world that had rejected them.
Since then, they've battled most of the world's superhero teams, usually winding up in jail, but always reuniting. It's not like these guys have any other friends.
Other villains still find them disgusting, but they like it that way.
The Vermin are:
*Scuz (Bert Limberger) was a corrupt chemical company executive whose body was turned into corrosive slime, after being thrown in a vat of toxic waste by gangsters. Now he's totally disgusting and he drips on everything, and he smells of something rancid.
*Ratso (Sam Kowalski) is a former exterminator who spent too much time alone in the sewers, until he began to hear the little chirping rat voices. He decided to use his poisons to help his rat friends instead of harm them. Now he wields a double-barrelled trapper gun as, er, well...the champion of the rats.
*Roach (Lewis Lint) is the result of genetic engineering by his extremely amateur scientist father. He had hoped to produce a telepathic son, but the resulting telepathy only worked on cockroaches. Lots and lots of cockroaches.
*The Fly (Henry Fudd) was a brilliant cyberneticist driven mad by experiments with artificial compound eyes. He soon added other cyberwear, such as transparent wings, that would allow him to emulate the common house fly. And now he can't get the buzzing noise to stop. It sounds like the world's biggest dremel!
