The Conflict seems a bit too simplistic in my opinion for a plot like this.

Subtopic: Look at your characters' personalities. What are they like? If they have a defining quality or two, think of what flaws could stem from there.

Example 1: Red Fork is really confident, and is quick to act. This can lead to his major flaw being that he's sometimes too overconfident, and he can sometimes jump into combat without analyzing the situation properly.

Example 2: Lemon Glass is really kind and would never hurt a fly if she was given the choice. However, this can lead to her flaw, which is that she's not assertive and can easily let herself be controlled and dominated easily by others. She doesn't stand up for herself much.

Another idea is to just think: What parts of your character's personality aren't so great? Maybe your character is really good at something? What happens if your character finds themselves with the opposite of what they're good at?

Example 3: Blue Ocean is specially great at technology and inventions. However, leave him in a place without access to technology (or just leave him without internet connection), and he'll fall apart quickly. Also, since he's used to be surrounded by technology, he does really poorly when it comes to surviving in the wild if he doesn't have his inventions to aid him.

Another idea is to look at your character's backstory. Is there anything they've experienced that could make them have some sort of flaw? Perhaps something from their past really affected their way of seeing the world. How have the events they lived in the past shaped their way of thinking?

Example 4: Metalshoe Jet had a tough past, as he was nearly roboticized by Bright Spark. That's why he's a cyborg. This led him to have an extreme hatred towards villains, and that's why he's so violent to the point where he wanted to kill all villains.

If it's just weaknesses you're looking for, search for something logical.

Example 5: Jaiden is an ice ninja, so hot temperatures make her powers ineffective. Electra has electric powers, so you can be certain that she hates getting wet for more reasons than just because it'll ruin her hairdo. Bark is literally all about trees, so you can guess anyone with fire powers could easily defeat him sooner than Scorch can yell "FIRE!"
