Comic book and DC Comics superhero team From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Guardians are a DC Comics superhero team featured in the short-lived eponymous series The New Guardians. It was a spin-off from the Millennium event and ran for twelve issues, from 1988 through 1989, before being canceled. The characters first appeared in Millennium #1, (January 1988), written by Steve Engelhart and drawn by Joe Staton. The series has since gained infamy among comic fans due to its poor writing and second issue,[1] which features "Snowflame", a supervillain who gained powers from the use of cocaine.

The New Guardians, who were also initially known as the Chosen, were a group of people selected by a Guardian of the Universe named Herupa Hando Hu and a Zamaron named Nadia Safir in the DC Comics crossover Millennium. These "Chosen" were then given powers by their selectors.[2]
Members of the Chosen were selected from several nationalities to form a superhero group representative of the entire human race.[3]
