The Defenders

The Defenders were a team of superheroes brought together by En-Com in order to publically serve as heroes. They were secrelty used for the company's purposes and killed when they found out.

The team originally consisted of:
 * Longbow
 * Maester
 * Eve
 * Gadget Girl
 * Flicker
 * and Blur

The team was used for things like clearing land, destroying businesses all through guided missions. The 7 members never knew they were being used until Unbreakable Boy uncovered the plot. He tried telling the team but En-Com orchestrated an explosion that killed them all except for Unbreakable Boy and Sparkler. Neither knew the other survived.

The project was disbanded after this. However, 15 years later Flicker returned under the guise of Phantasm to get revenge on all those who had been involved in the project. The project was revived with the second wave known as The New Defenders.
