Captain Ultra is pretty much Superman's power set combined with Martian Manhunter's weakness to fire. Super powerful but his phobia of fire is so strong he once fainted when the Wizard lit a match in front of him. He's mostly treated as a joke until recent issues of Iron Man made had a more serious take on him.
Devil Slayer was a member of the Defenders. He's an ex soldier who gained a mystical cloak that allows him to teleport and pull any weapon he needs out of the cloak at any given time. He mostly fights mystical threats and has been insane for quite some time.
The new Goliath is the sone or nephew of the Goliath that was killed by the insane Thor clone during the Civil War.
Ethan Edwards is a super skrull who's powers match Superman. Disguised as a mild mannered reporter for the Daily Bugle he ended up stealing Spider-Man's thunder and ended up fighting Spider-Man when it was revealed he was a skrull if I recall right.
Century disappeared after Force Works and the Revengers is the first time he's been seen since that series.
D-Man was Captain America's sidekick for a while until he was thought killed on a mission. He survived, ended up living with a group of homeless people and became their champion for a while. Recently he went insane and started robbing jewler shops claiming he was looking for the infinity gems until Dardevil found him and brought him in to get mental help from authorities.
Atlas and Simon setteled their differences and became friends of sorts after Atlas and the Thunderbolts teamed up to defeat Count Nefaria and the Grim Reaper.
After he got injured during his last mission with the Thunderbolts Atlas was in a coma and was then revived by SHIELD during the Superhuman Registration Act. The inititive decided his powers were too unstable to let him be a hero so they gave him a job working in a warehouse. Kyle Richmond hired him to join his version of the Defenders but Iron Man had them disband after their first mission.
I hope this helps
