Quote1 Oh, I get it--the Grim Reaper! Good one, Skeleton Crew. How utterly and appropriately topical. Quote2

The Skeleton Crew was a team of five living skeletons that could form into a variety of large and monstrous skeletal constructs.

It is unknown as to how they were formed or created, nor whether they were even 'alive' or simply animated.

The Skeleton Crew were incarcerated into the Number of the Beast Program where they teamed with the other imprisoned to formed the Crime Corps. The Skeleton Crew and their inmates were freed from the program by the High. Since Armageddon, the Skeleton Crew remained a part of the Fearsmiths (the successor of the Crime Corps) and the villains were stationed in Malice, Iowa (formerly Alice, Iowa) until they were ultimately defeated by Gen 13.

Powers

  • Metamorphosis: The Skeleton Crew fought by fusing together into giant multi-headed and multi-limbed forms, sometimes armed with giant weapons.[1]


  • According to Zebulon McCandless' notes in Number of the Beast, McCandless was confuse as to whether to have five separate sleeping tubes for the five member Skeleton Crew, or simply have the bones taken apart and dumped them into a single tube.
