History
Operation: Knightstrike was a Governmental Task Force made up of Al Simmons, John Stone, Cabbot Stone and Chapel, and directed by Alexander Graves. The Task Force led a mission in Guatemala, where they executed a drug cartel, but their mission was recorded and the recording was leaked to the American press, creating a scandal. Six days later, Chapel was shooting with Battlestone in their Headquarters when they spotted Graves. Chapel was certain they were doomed, but Graves promised them they'd see a lot of action in the future. Publicly, the President shut down Knightstrike, but it continued in secret. Regardless, Graves created the more colorful superhero team Youngblood to take the spotlight, and had Chapel and Stone join its ranks.[1]
