Team Tejas is a fictional superhero team created by Richard Dominguez and published by Azteca Productions. The group made its first appearance in Team Tejas #1, published in 1997. The comic follows the story of three super-powered mutants and their government appointed leader in their fight against crime and superpowered terrorists. All members of the group receive government checks for their efforts, making their vigilante activities legal.
Government appointed leader of Team Tejas. Lonestarr's true identity is that of Jonathan Gonzales, assistant mayor of Dallas, Texas and son of Senator Enrique Gonzales. Lonestarr has no superpowers, as all appointed leaders are intended to be normal humans, but wears a suit designed by Gonzales Industries granting him the ability to form a manipulative energy field and the ability to fly. Jonathan takes pride in the success of Team Tejas, but the government's ties to the group as well as the burden of leadership is slowly wearing on him.
Jonathan Gonzales is the son of Senator Enrique Gonzales and assistant-mayor of Dallas, Texas making him the perfect candidate for the Hero Agency's newly formed superhero group of South Texas. Jonathan, being supplied a suit from Gonzales Industries, must lead four meta-humans in the fight against crime and rogue mutant terrorists. Despite taking pride in the efforts of the team, the burden of leadership is slowly beginning to wear on him.
Since all government-appointed leaders of superhero teams are normal humans, Lonestarr has no special powers of his own. He instead relies on his accumulative knowledge and access to advanced technology to accomplish his goals.
Lonestarr's suit was designed and constructed by Gonzales Industries specifically for his use. The suit gives him the ability to form a manipulative energy field which he can use to form barriers or fire concussive blasts. The suit grants him the power of flight as well.
Vanessa Castillo was born with the ability to teleport herself anywhere within a five-hundred-mile radius, along with people or objects weighing up to one ton. Vanessa and her brother Abel were tested at early ages for the "Hero Gene". Testing positive, both were promptly abducted by the INS and place in to the Hero Program. After thirteen years, both were allowed to reintegrate in to normal society, and were made members of Team Tejas. Donning the name of Reata, Vanessa proves herself to be a vital member of the team, but will often place herself in danger without considering the consequences.
