I was the author - I've still got several unopened ones.  Of course, there's 
the matter of price...  ;)

The Jyhad would actually make a fairly interesting BNW group.  (Actually, I 
used some of them in a Necroscope/ESPionage/Masterbook campaign I ran a few 
years back as well).  I don't recall all of their names right off hand, but 
they included:

Manticore - a Greek (later African) mercenary wearing a Armogeddon-style 
battle suit built to look like...well, a Manticore.

Jaculi (sic) - A Speedster.  Used explosive harpoons.

Kocschei:  A Genius/Gadgeteer, who basically used Deaders.  Lots and lots of 
Deaders.  I had briefly incorporated him into my BNW campaign, although it 
never got to a point where this was obvious.

Agni:  A Flame-type Hotshot variant.  He could summon fireballs by snapping 
his fingers, and each fireball he created grew larger (he started at about 
cigarette-lighter size).

Raab:  A young Irish girl able to project mental-type "sonic screams" - 
basically a Screamer (folks brains tended to leak out their ears when she 
was around)

Rastam:  Leader, he could create a flaming sword with a gestured of his 
hand.  No BNW equivalent, but very much a low-powered Delta-type character.  
Died in battle with Rick Flagg during the aforementioned nuclear explosion.

???:  Some other guy, wore a battle suit that made him a decent aquatic 
fighter.  Later addition.

Djin:  A virtual man in an electromagnetic bottle, who could manifest and 
strangle you.  The engrams of a Squader who was used in a later mission was 
used for the second incarnation after the first was destroyed.  No BNW 
equivalent, and was more of a Gadget than an actual character.

If I get a chance, and can scan the photo out of my DC universe encyclopedia 
things, I might try recreating some of them at my web site.

It's a possibility...
