History
The Power Company was a superhero team created by Josiah Power who styled them as a business that offered their services to clients that paid for them. (JLA v1 #61)
Power was one of America's best lawyers until his meta-gene was triggered during the alien Invasion by the activation of the Gene Bomb. Following the untimely public activation of his metagene in the courtroom, attorney Josiah Power is dismissed from his law firm. Power had little interest in becoming a traditional costumed hero, but it became readily apparent that he could not continue to practice law without any undue public attention. He capitalizes on his professional experience to organize a for-hire team of heroes much along the lines of a law firm. Their very first mission as a team is against the East Asian criminal organization known as the Black Dragon Society. They successfully defuse a hostage situation initiated by the Society and returned to their base of operations.
Members of the super-powered Cadre came to target technology companies in major cities with them coming into conflict with the Power Company. (The Power Company v1 #1)
They were hired to defend a S.T.A.R. Labs facility, only to be brutally defeated by Doctor Impossible and his new gang of villains. In a conversation at the JLA Watchtower, the Guardian mentions that all of the Power Company members are currently hospitalized, and that Josiah would've died had Mon-El not forced open his rib cage in order to help treat his heart.
