Who are all the squad members in Mass Effect 3?

We have a list of optional squad members in Mass Effect 3 but I'm wondering what all possible squad mates are and what classes they are/what abilities they have. I'm curious about what my options are tactically.

What are all the squadmates in Mass Effect 3 (regardless of whether I can have them all at once)?

Your squad in ME3 consists of:

The Virmire Survivor, which means one of Ashley or Kaidan, as well as the return of Garrus, Tali, and Liara. In addition, two new members join the squad, James, and a newly corporeal EDI. If you own the From Ashes DLC, there is also Javik, the Prothean.

As for 'classes', the squad members don't have classes in the sense that Shepard does. Instead they each have their own unique set of 4 powers. Two are shared with one of the available Shepard classes, and two are unique to them, but can be unlocked as Bonus Powers through conversation.

Specifically, the lineup of powers for each looks something like this:

Ashley Williams

 Disruptor Ammo Concussive Shot Inferno Grenade Marksman 

Kaidan Alenko

 Reave Barrier Overload Cryo Blast

James Vega

 Incendiary Ammo Carnage Fortification Frag Grenade

Garrus Vakarian

 Concussive Shot Armor-Piercing Ammo Overload Proximity Mine

Liara T'Soni

 Singularity Warp Stasis Warp Ammo

Tali'Zorah vas Normandy

 Defense Drone Energy Drain Combat Drone Sabotage

EDI

 Incinerate Overload Defense Matrix Decoy

Javik

 Dark Channel Lift Grenade Pull Slam
