Organized and financed by Night Thrasher, the New Warriors were initially organized to assist Night Thrasher in discovering the circumstances of his parents' murder. The group continued often walking the line between what was legal and what they deemed to be the higher good.

The roster of the team changed many times. For a while the team disbanded to reorganize later with a new group of members. Currently, team is not together.

The original members of the group were:

- Night Thrasher
- Nova
- Marvel Boy/Justice
- Firestar
- Namorita
- Speedball

Other members include:

- Silhouette
- Rage
- Darkhawk
- Turbo
- Hindsight Lad
- Dagger
- Bandit
- Aegis
