MORGAN EDGE-The Unscrupulous Manager: Is a manipulative, controlling mentor that exploits their client(s) for their own gain.

ALPHA-The Heartthrob: The unofficial Face of the Band, and the one who was put there to draw the Squee! of millions of adoring teenage girls.
(please log in to view the image)
GRAVITY-The Shy One: Nerdier than the rest of the band, usually The Quiet One. He's cast because Nerds Are Sexy.
(please log in to view the image)
SPEEDBALL-The Cute One: A second heartthrob. Less sexually threatening than the Sweet One, and often meant as a foil to the Bad Boy.

KARMA-The Bad Boy: The one with a rougher edge to him. He's the one wearing the black shirt and jeans or leather jacket in those videos where they're not all wearing matching clothes.

CM3-The Older Brother: A cool, reassuring figure that the girls can relate to.
---------------------
Morgan Edge creates/funds/publicizes the team to compete with ones like The Teen Titans/The Champions, fill the void left by teams like The Young Avengers/Young Justice.
His plan is all in the timing, as he'll make a mint as the team gets more and more famous, then set them up to die heroically and very publicly, saving Metropilis, after which he'll make even more in commemorative memorabilia sales.
As for the archetypes, Alpha has the hair, the smile, the outgoing nature to easily be the heartthrob.
Gravity's small town roots mean he'll be the most unused to so much attention.
Speedball has eveything going for him Alpha does; the hair the smile the attitude. As the youngest member he just needs a couple years to achieve full heartthrob status.
Karma rubs everyone wrong, but likes picking on the Speedball most as he's the youngest. When they go at it, its a guy who bounces off of and into things against a guy who cant be hit. The only thing that results is property damage.
CM3 is the most experienced, and helps keep the team focused, breaks up fights between Speedball and Karma. The wisdom of Solomon means he'llbe the one to realize Morgan Edge is up to no good.
Captain Marko Ramius (HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) Captain Nemo (please log in to view the image)
Connery stars again, this time as the rebel Captain with loyal crew & advanced sea vessel, stealing the spotlight as usual.
Anatoli Bourkeev (EVEREST) Allan Quartermain (please log in to view the image)
Rugged outsoorsman & mountain climber instead of hunter. Bad ass enough to climb Everest without oxygen.
Dana (THE LAST VAMPIRE PRINCESS) Mina Harker (please log in to view the image)
Beautiful and bloody, she has that immortal fighting her evil nature thing going on.
Grigori Rasputin (RASPUTIN) Dorian Gray (please log in to view the image)
Rasputun has that immortal NOT fighting his evil nature thing going on. He says he can be trusted, but c'mon.
The Russian (THE PUNISHER) Mister Hyde (please log in to view the image)
Forced to join the team. A monster of a man, he is barely controlled violence. Barely controlled by...
Dr. Irina Spalko (INDIANA JONES FRANCHISE) Dr. Jekyll (please log in to view the image)
The alluring Doctor has a handle on the big Russian, matching her brain to his Brawn. A patriot, she'll do what's best for Mother Russia.
Sebastian Caine (HOLLOW MAN) Hawley Griffin/Rodney Skinner (please log in to view the image)
Required American character. More Hawley than Skinner in attitude, he's taken Skinner's 'help us, we'll cure you' deal. He's determined to have some fun along the way, though.
Ensign Pavel Chekov (STAR TREK) Tom Sawyer (please log in to view the image)
The young nice guy. Like Quartermain and Sawyer, he and Ramius will bond, as both serve on ships. He's on a 'secure the future by going to the past' mission, as happens on ST. Of course he's carrying future tech in and around Soviet Russia, so, he may cause more problems than he fixes.

Lorne Malvo's go to guys.
They get to do what they like, and have the money, anonymity, and security to live the family life they always wanted, too.
WALTER BISHOP (please log in to view the image)
It didnt take Walter long to start driving Astrid nuts with all his free time shenanigans. She insists he call their old FBI liason Boyles (now executive director of the FBI's science & technology division) and see if he can work some magic. He does.
Walter soon has the means to restart the Fringe division, wich is something Boyles himself had been working towards behind the scenes. There are no coincidences.
REBECCA HARRIS & BRIAN FINCH (please log in to view the image)
Still trying to unlock the secrets and deal with the side effects of NZT-48, special agent Harris and her charge, Brian Finch, are contacted by Dir. Boyles and told to report to Walter for a new assignment.
Harris is Walter's new liason. While she and Finch help Walter investigate Fringe events, Walter (who knows a little something about pharmaceuticals) will help them with NZT-48, figuring out where it comes from, and curing the side effects of the 'limitless' pill so Finch can more safely use it.
CRIS JOHNSON (please log in to view the image)
After working with the FBI to stop a nuclear attack on US soil several years ago, ising his ability to see minutes (and sometimes longer) into the future,Johnson continued to consult with them. He liked the steady paycheck. Unfortunately, no agents could long deal with his antics. Dir. Boyles reaches out to him, and puts him in contact with Walter (who knows a little something about possible alternate time lines) and FBI liason Harris.
No one can out antic Walter, Harris is used to dealing with Finch; Johnson's power will come in handy when encountering new Fringe events.
NIKI SANDERS (please log in to view the image)
Dir. Boyles learns about Sanders after assuming his new position. Strong enough to rip a man in half, Sanders suffers from dissociative identity disorder, with 3 personalities fighting for control. She'd faked her death in a fire to safeguard her son, remanding herself to FBI custody, hoping they could cure her, so she would no longer pose a threat to her loved ones.
Boyles refers her to Walter (who knows a little something about psychosis and mental instability), she'll help him investigate new Fringe events while he works to make her fractured mind whole.
Leonard Hofstadter: Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
Sheldon Cooper: Egon Spengler PhD. (Ghostbusters)
Penny: Mia Dolan (La La Land)
Howard Wolowitz: Wayne Szalinski (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids)
Raj Koothrappali: Mohinder Suresh (Heroes)
I'm thinking of the animated Justice League. He always came across as a care free flirt and a lot less mature than the others. I think he flirted with Wonder Woman a lot.
