History
In 1992, the prince of planet D'Vor, Genocide, left for Earth in hopes of finding a worthy opponent. This caused a commotion, and the Emperor of D'Vor tasked his High Council with retrieving his son. The Magistrate, a member of the Council, teleported Genocide to D'Vor along with his opponents, the superhero team Brigade.[2]
The Magistrate declared Brigade had challenged Genocide first and for that crime they had to be executed. With no room for discussion, Brigade escaped the arena they were in, but when they were swarmed by an army of D'Voran fighters, a female human member of Brigade blasted a hole through the ground, leading them into The Tunnels, a sewage system. There, they defeated a gruesome monster. This impressed the Magistrate, who was watching them from a Control Tower. He decided to capture Brigade alive, and sent the D'Voran task force called The Factor, composed by Knockdown, Reign and Trek against Brigade.[3] However, The Factor were defeated by the D'Voran Freedom Fighters named the Birds of Prey.[4]
A few days later, the Imperial High Guard found Brigade and the Birds of Prey. The Magistrate ordered the Guard to lead them towards the Citadel, where Genocide could have his last shot at redemption. Genocide managed to kill one of the humans, Sean Welch, but he was ultimately defeated and the humans boarded a ship and left for Earth.[5]
