History

Bloodstrike was a top-secret government strike-force composed of operatives who had died and been brought back to life through Project: Born Again.[1]

1988

In February 1988, Bloodstrike, composed by Cabbot Stone, Fourplay and Shogun, took out a hive of the Brotherhood of Man in Detroit, but Fourplay and Shogun ended up dead, causing Cabbot to swear off group missions.[2]

1989

By November 1989, Fourplay and Shogun had been brought back to life, and the Roam artificial intelligence was part of the team. Them, alongside Cabbot and new members Deadlock and Tag attempted to capture three Katellans suspected to be galactic spies. After they captured two of them, Deadlock murdered the third, and Shogun was forced to put him down.[2]

1990

In March, 1990, Deadlock was revived through Project: Born Again, but scientists diagnosed him with violent paranoid schizophrenia due to early conditioning. In July, Deadlock was a stable member of Bloodstrike again, taking meds regularly.[2]

1993

In 1993, Cabbot, Fourplay, Deadlock, Shogun and Tag accepted a hit on the Jericho Compound and killed everyone in it. Afterwards, Roam printed out Washington's latest order for them: to take down the team of unsanctioned vigilantes named Brigade.[1]

Bloodstrike hit Brigade right as they were landing their ship in their headquarters, and Cabbot initiated the encounter by shooting Brigade member Stasis in the head and killing her. In the course of the ensuing battle, Shogun blasted Brigade member Coldsnap, damaging the apparatus that regulated his powers, which then raged out of control. Deadlock shot Seahawk multiple times, and Fourplay broke Kayo's jaw. Battlestone was about to be defeated by Cabbot and Tag when his ally Martin Grant crashed Brigade's alien ship into the building, granting Cabbot's brother, Battlestone, a distraction and allowing him to escape with Thermal, Coldsnap, and Stasis’s corpse.[3]

Afterwards, Roam tracked the surviving members of Brigade to the Los Angeles branch of G.A.T.E. International, so Cabbot sent Fourplay and Shogun there while the rest of the team secured Seahawk and Kayo as their prisoners. They boarded Bloodstrike’s jet, where Roam revealed Seahawk was healing rapidly from his gunshots due to a healing factor. When Deadlock entered the room holding the two Brigade members, he found a woman named Lethal, an old ally of Brigade, trying to free them. Lethal defeated Deadlock, but Cabbot appeared and engaged her. Just as he seemed to have subdued her, she kicked him and shot at Seahawk's containment tube, freeing him.[4] Seahawk tackled Cabbot. Wanting to see how Cabbot did, Deadlock refused to intervene. After trading punches, Cabbot shot Seahawk in the chest. Seahawk retaliated by impaling Cabbot with the spires on his helmet. With Cabbot temporarily down, Lethal grabbed Seahawk and jumped out of the plane. Afterwards, every member of Bloodstrike reconvened in the Los Angeles branch of G.A.T.E. International, where they began a fight against Brigade and their newest member, Boone. However, the fight was interrupted by the appearance of Coldsnap, who, no longer injured, had mutated into an enormous ice monster due to his powers having gone haywire.[5]

Coldsnap took on Bloodstrike, giving Battlestone, Boone, and Thermal time to regroup. The two teams battled until Shogun blasted Coldsnap through a wall, revealing Stasis’s body in a resurrection chamber in the next room. Cabbot was enraged and vowed to stop Stasis's resurrection. Just then, Lethal and Seahawk teleported in.[6] Amidst the fighting, Shogun shot at Stasis’s rejuvenation chamber under Cabbot's orders, preventing her resurrection. Infuriated, Battlestone lashed out at Cabbot while the rest of Brigade fought against Bloodstrike, now joined by Kayo and Martin Grant. Battlestone and Cabbot argued and beat the crap out of each other until Battlestone told Cabbot to leave Brigade alone or else he would expose Project: Born Again to the public. Finally, Cabbot told Battlestone to kill him, but Battlestone refused, saying letting him live was even worse, and left with Brigade. Bloodstrike left in their craft, and Cabbot said Battlestone was an even bigger threat to the U.S. government than he previously thought.[7]
