Synopsis for the 1st Story
Void finds Jacob Marlowe alone in his office, wondering what kind of man he was before his amnesia…
In the 1960s, he is known as Saul Baxter, a secretive U.S. defense contractor and strategic mastermind whose latest initiative is development of the first ballistic submarine. A soldier bursts into his office, warning him that the submarine is under attack. Baxter arrives on the scene to find one man slaughtering several soldiers and recognizes the attacker as a Daemonite, the first he has encountered since 1906. Disguising psionic blasts with a blowtorch, Baxter kills the attacker. Anticipating a fresh wave of Daemonite aggression, he enlists the help of a fellow Kherubim who works for the U.S. military as covert operative Lucy Blaize. At his behest, she recruits a team, starting with her lover, anti-Communist fighter Maj. John Colt, as well as the mysterious vigilante Mason and superhero Mr. Majestic. In Nebraska, Helspont watches superhuman mob boss Slaughterhouse Smith rob and massacre a military convoy. Meanwhile, Blaize finishes staffing her team with telepath Isaiah King, fighters Marc “Slay” Slayton and Regiment, and Henry Bendix a.k.a. Think Tank. She and Colt both ponder leaving but convince each other to stay. Elsewhere, Helspont recruits Smith and his assistant, Daniel Pike, to join The Cabal. At Camp Pendleton, California, Baxter and Blaize meet as International Operations head Miles Craven formally introduces the team as Team One.
