Retaliators Ready!

—American Crusader

The Retaliators are the primary superhero group of Earth 8.

History

The team was assembled in the face of the first threat to their world so massive that no one superhero could withstand it, and they defend it from the likes of Lord Havok and the Extremists, in spite of public mistrust and frequent infighting.

Notes

• The Retaliators are an homage to the Avengers of Marvel Comics. The team's battle cries "Retaliators Ready" and "Retaliators Rampage" are based on the Avengers' "Avengers Assemble" phrase.
