History
The group of young meta-human students which make up the Teen Machine joined the Freedom Machines training program to all improve their aptitude with their abilities. The program acts as the training camp which teams up meta-youths from many diverse backgrounds and powers and are trained for several years before they have gained to capacity to go on actual field battles. This is the intent of the senior members of the Freedom Machine to get members up to par for possibly joining the Freedom Machine.
The Teen Machine was unfortunately one of the first teams to encounter Deathboy when he was wreaking havoc at the local mall. The members were the martial artist Virago, winged terror Raptor, bow slinging Troubleshooter, and the electric rod Cosmos, all lost their lives on that fateful day. Using his "Death Ray" eye-beams the young villain wiped away the young team of would be heroes when this graduating class of youth were sent out on a training run, thinking this was a lower level concern. A mistake that cost them their very existence.
The rest of the student body consisted of the gold spinning Midas, the gun wielding Holiday, Fable's younger shape-changing sister Menagerie, and sonic powered Maestro. These members were now being asked to join full membership to the Freedom Machine due to a deadly threat by former member turned possible mad conqueror Daedalus. Taking the pledge to become full fledged members they proudly entered the destiny of the Freedom Machine, battling Daedalus and his powerful forces.
