Big Hero 6

The original line-up
At time of publication, Disney is planning to give the Big Hero 6 their own movie. However, the team is still fairly obscure. As such, I am doing a post on them.
History
The Japanese government wanted their own superhero team. As such, they formed the Giri, a secret group of business and political entities, to create this team. The Giri recruited Silver Samurai (who became the field leader), Honey Lemon and GoGo Tomago. Mr. Oshima, a "Machiavellian" bureaucrat, became the team's coordinator and spokesperson. Hiro Takachiho was asked to join, but he only did so after the team helped him save his mother from Everwraith, the spiritual embodiment of people killed during the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings. Hiro had Baymax join as well. During the clash with Everwraith, the team were joined by Sunfire. The team moved their base (which was originally just the Giri Office Building) to the Japan's Cool World Amusement Park. At said park, they were attacked by the villain X the Unknown (who is able to alter his atomic structure into any shape or form). Aided the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight, the Big Hero 6 used the fires of Mt. Fuji to destroy X. Later, the Big Hero 6 helped rescue people from a blizzard that was created by the Justine Hammer Crimson Cowl and her incarnation of the Masters of Evil. Sunfire quited the team in favor of joining the India branch of the X-Corporation. He was replaced by Sunpyre. Silver Samurai was seemingly killed and replaced by Ebon Samaurai. Hiro became the leader. The Big Hero 6 members were brainwashed to attack the Alpha Flight. During the fight, the device used to control them was short-circuited thus freeing them. The team later appeared in their own series. It focused on their adventures in America. Here Sunfire and Silver Samurai were replaced by Fredzilla and Wasabi No-Ginger.
