It's a "point one" issue so that means it's the perfect jumping on point, right? Guess again. Jonathan Hickman creates his own rules for this issue and it will catch you off guard.
It's a good thing Red Hood and friends were in Gotham last issue so they could stick around for the big Batman crossover event. Seeing Jason take part is pretty fascinating.
Cyberforce is a Top Cow Superhero team created by artist Marc Silvestri and writer Eric Silvestri in 1992.
Origin
Cyberforce is a superhero team consisting mostly of mutants. The mutants were experimented on and gained cybernetic implants which granted them new and improved powers. The team consists of:
Ballistic: Cassandra Lane, who is the older sister of Velocity. Her mutant powers grant her superhuman aim, making her an excellent markswoman.
Cyblade: Born in the European country of Chalenne, Dominique Thiebaut's history is shrouded in mystery. Her mutant powers give her the ability to generate blades of electromagnetic energy.
Heatwave: Dylan Cruise has the ability to absorb solar energy and use it both for offensive purposes, as well as flight. A former Navy SEAL, the military man Dylan Cruise has clashed often with the guerrilla fighter Stryker.
Impact: Boomer O'Shea was the muscle of Cyberforce. He died during one of Cyberforce's adventures. His death reminded his teammates that they must continue their heroism.
Ripclaw: A Native-American mutant with limited shape shifting. During one of his adventures he was cloned, and the clone was used as a villain during some plotlines.
Stryker: Major Morgan Striker was gravely injured during one of his missions. Cyberdata found his torn body and gave Stryker three fully functional cybernetic arms and replaced his right eye and ear with new ones.
The members of Cyberforce were all captured by an enormous corporation bent on world domination named Cyberdata. Cyberdata was run by various scientists who experimented on the captured mutants. The scientists had developed a new technology, known by acronym S.H.O.C., or Special Hazardous Operation Cyborg. They applied the new technology on the mutants, enhancing their powers, but damaging them mentally. The experimented mutants had had enough and escaped the clutches of Cyberdata. They then banded together to form Cyberforce, with their primary goal being the takedown of Cyberdata.
During
the events of the CyberForce/Hunter Killer crossover, Ellis returns
after two years of wandering and learning about the Earth and it's
people. Uncovering a plot by Morningstar and his new partners,
Cyberdata, he arrives too late to prevent a skirmish between the Hunter
Killer team and CyberForce. Morningstar fed the HK team false
information that CyberForce was really a rogue group of Ultra Sapiens.
After breaking up the fight and having Architect save Heatwave's life,
the teams agree to work together to stop Morningstar. They split into 3
teams, with the purpose of hitting 3 targets simultaneously. The
heroes are outmaneuvered by their opponents and there serious injuries
to Architect and Cloak and several members are captured. Confronting
Morningstar, the remaining heroes are able to free their comrades and
stop Cyberdata from unleashing a viral signal that would effectively
turn a large portion of the general population into Ultra Sapiens, who
would have no idea how to control their newfound powers. They
accomplished this by killing one of their own, Network, and installing
Damper into the system that broadcasts the U-S virus. CyberForce member
Velocity is infected w/ the virus, and after the conflict, Ellis joins
CyberForce to help keep her new situation in check. Heatwave joins the
HK team to keep an eye on them.
