• The Professor - never seen by the group, but was considered the operational brains of the outfit, calling Mr Immortal with targets and battle plans. He later turned out to be the mutant criminal, The Taskmaster

• Leather Boy - Gene Lorrene, a leather fetishist who tried to join the group but was turned down as he was human and had no powers. He was recruited by the Taskmaster to pose as Leather Boy and provide the GLA with a nemesis to distract them and use as a scapegoat.

Details

Having realised his mutant power of immortality, Craig Hollis decided to use his abilities for good and become a super hero. However, those abilities weren't exactly practical in working alone, so he put an ad in the newspaper, asking for wanna-be superheroes to join his 'support group'. The group was targeted by Tony Masters, aka The Taskmaster, who used them as a diversion in his robberies - in his guise as "The Professor", he would call with targets, which he told the GLA were drug labs and such belonging to Leather Boy, and the group would attack them. While the security was focussed on the GLA, Masters' men would slip in the back way and help themselves.

Eventually the thefts - and the attacks - drew official attention and SHIELD sent in Garrison Kane, Terry Cassidy and Abigal Brand to investigate as part of the FBI. The conspiracy was uncovered and the Great Lakes Avengers were convinced to disband and focus their life-saving and helpless-helping to more legal avenues, such as Red X.
