The Crusaders

The greatest heroes of the Silver Age, the Crusaders were renowned and beloved the world over. From their base in New York City, they battled such foes as the Red Ghost and HAVOC. 
*Mentor (John Norman) was a scholar of antiquities who gained powerful psychic powers from an ancient codex. He could project his mental powers at continental distances.
*Juggernaut (Drake Michaels) was a scrawny biochemist and inventor who developed a pill that would boost his size, strength and toughness to superhuman levels.
*Starfire (Kira Michaels) was America's first female astronaut. Bombarded by space radiation, she developed the ability to fire heat and energy from her body. She later married Drake Michaels.
*Skywarp (Robert Lee Jackson) was an American soldier and spy who was captured by Communists and subjected to biological experiments. He emerged with the ability to teleport, which combined with his hand-to-hand fighting abilities, made him a formidable combatant.
The Crusaders team originally included Lightmaster, but he later betrayed them and became a supervillain under the name Lucifer.
After a long career, the Crusaders were killed on a mission to deep space, when their rocketship was caught in a supernova blast.
