M&M 3e: Young Justice!

Yeah, I've seen both versions and I actually was counting on the fact you'd be using them! Which episode of JL did you watch, Paradise Lost from season 1 or The Balance from season 3? I ask because in Paradise Lost, Hades is clearly the big bad, while in The Balance, he's more the "evil that is necessary to the balance of the world" - plus the thing he hints at at the end (which I won't spoil in case you didn't see it yet) is sorta what gave me the idea for Annie.
I think I like the Hades in the Wonder Woman animated movie more: sinister, with his own agenda, but not overtly antagonistic or actively evil. As for as Annie is concerned, this is how she sees her father - he just has a bad rep because he doesn't understand the importance of good PR, and she deals with this in typical teenaged fashion: she's embarrassed to death by him. Whether or not he's actually an active villain is, of course, up to you - I hope he is!
Thats exactly the way I wanted it; overly concerned, well meaning but self-righteous third party adult trying to save a wayward juvenile delinquent from an imagined bad future.
Well, I wanted to subvert the "Amazon Princess unfamiliar with Man's World" trope and instead have Annie be born and raised in Man's World - maybe till she was 10-12 or so, BEFORE she was brought to Paradise Island to begin her training. I think she'd be the eldest of the group, or up there in age, so I'd peg her at 17, spending 5+ years with Wonder Woman on the Island. She'd actually PREFER getting off the Island to go back to Man's World, because she's already been spoiled by the wonders of modern life - another reason why the Amazons don't particularly like or trust her.
Since the DC heroes are just starting out, maybe the Amazons had just dispatched Wonder Woman to Man's World as their emissary, leaving Annie with a new teacher who she can't stand - despite Wonder Woman being a rather stuck-up and stern teacher, Annie liked her. While Wonder Woman was establishing herself in Man's World, maybe Annie got into all sorts of rebellious teen trouble and ended up getting exiled - which is what she wanted, so she could regroup with Wonder Woman back in the "cooler" Man's World.
And despite the goth angle I'm going, she isn't emo - despite being the daughter of Hades, she's full of life and fun-loving. Think Death from the Sandman comics, but obviously without the wisdom; she wants to be a super hero like WW because its the right thing to do, and she hates seeing people suffer or get hurt. And she genuinely wants Wonder Woman to approve of her, even if she never will because of the whole Hades thing.
EDIT: Redid Wonder Girl to make her more a Powerhouse, since I see her as very strong and tough but not as skilled in fighting (yet). Got rid of her ranged capabilities and gave her some grab advantages... also gave her a Minion, a spirit dog named Cerbie who can smell life, turn insubstantial, and speak all languages, including with the dead! Not sure how you feel about minions, but I just think that having a pet dog would be awesome.

ZACHARY ZATARA
PL: 8 (120 pp)
ABILITIES: STRENGTH 0, STAMINA 2, AGILITY 1, DEXTERITY 2, FIGHTING 1, INTELLECT 1, AWARENESS 4, PRESENCE 4
SKILLS: Deception 6 (+10), Expertise [Magic] 9 (+10), Expertise [Performance] 6 (+10), Insight 1 (+5), Perception 6 (+10), Persuasion 1 (+5), Sleight of Hand 8 (+10), Stealth 9 (+10)
ADVANTAGES: Attractive (1), Defensive Roll (6), Fascinate [Expertise] (1), Hide in Plain Sight, Redirect, Ritualist, Taunt, Trance
POWERS:
Backwards Spellcasting:
Mystic Senses: Senses 4 (Detect Magic, Ranged, Acute, Analytical) 4 pp
EQUIPMENT:
NONE
OFFENSE:
Initiative +1
Close Attack +1 [Unarmed +0]
Ranged Attack +2
DEFENSES:
Dodge +8, Parry +5
Toughness +8 (+2 w/o Defensive Roll)
Fortitude +5, Will +10
COMPLICATIONS:
Power Loss: Zatara needs to speak aloud (and backwards) to cast his spells.
Dude! What's with the 'tude?: Zachary has little tact, patience, and modesty when it came to his skills. Due to his brash attitude and excessive partying, Zatara is considered somewhat of a selfish brat.
World's most popular teenaged magician!: True or not Zatara has a very public identity and is constantly in the limelight. Though it is widely believed to the General Public that his magic is mere trickery.
Abilities 30 + Skills 23 (46 ranks) + Advantages 13 + Powers 34 + Defenses 20 = 120 / 120
Background:
As cousin to Zatanna and nephew to the late Zatara, Zachary Zatara had magic in his blood. The teen magician learned that to be true when a new age of magic began. At that time, Zachary's latent magic powers sparked - and he manifested the same backwards-speaking incantation powers as his famed cousin. As a result, Zachary became the self-proclaimed "world's greatest and most popular teenaged magician."

[sblock=Zatara]Nice! Okay, let's say Zatanna is his mentor. I know more about her.
I see her as highly supportive of his act, possibly having a different relationship with him where she doesn't get the attitude. She'd be older than he is.
The Infinite Crisis hasn't happened for this world, I don't think. If it does, I want to use it in-game.
Also, it should be "I wonk tahw er'uoy gnikniht", not "ruoy". Common grammagical error ;p
And you may want to add "won uoy t'nod" to that last one. Otherwise you're commanding everyone to spot you, which would be a bad thing when you're hoping for area concealment.
Gosh I love this concept.

I like Zach a lot... I can see Annie and Zach either getting along swimmingly, or really hating each others guts, haha.

Green Dragon
Devoted to the art of the sword in the Ancient China Mountain of the Seven Lotus, Shin Fen Fo was raised and trained in and around the sword. The monks of the Shrine of the Seven Lotus lived isolated from the outer world, and wanted to train Shin as an herald from the temple to the rest of the world. Through Shin, the monks wanted to give the world a lesson, that the ancient and sacred ways were still useful, despite the world's technological developments.
Once Shin training was done, the monks send him to wander the world and show it, performing heroic acts and helping turn the tides in favor of good.
Devoted paladin of Good and tradition, Shin will stop at nothing to accomplish his destiny.
When he was wondering the world, he eventually meets Green Arrow, who saw in the young man, the potential to make an excellent hero. Green Arrow took the monk under his wing and introduced him to the rest of the league. However the old values and traditions, added to the cultural differences, made Shin a difficult person to get along, especially when he thought that the destiny was pointing him in a certain direction.
