Freedom Fighters

Team » Freedom Fighters appears in 115 issues.

Upon discovering a parallel world where the Nazis were winning World War II, Uncle Sam recruited a group of golden age heroes called the Freedom Fighters to travel to that Earth and save its people. Over the years, various incarnations of the Freedom Fighters would protect American soil.

So if you have been keeping up with The Rays 4 issue mini the final issue has an unnamed government agent extend him an invitation to join "a special division of Homeland Security comprised of people with super human abilities" now at first I thought they where referring to JLI but then he hands The Ray a precise of white paper with blue stars that say's in red "I Want YOU". So New 52 Freedom Fighters anybody?

Just for reference, the above FF sales figures... I wouldn't anticipate the series debuting to figures higher than these numbers... Also, given the track record I wouldn't expect it to hold on longer than a year... so a mini-series would probably be the best way to go. However, the slate may be cleansed by the new universe and new exposure... given that The Ray #3 sold at 10,859 units, however... I'd be much more likely to suggest that the purpose of a FF mini or series would be to keep the various characters in action and therefore retain ownership. However, I'd love to see the Freedom Fighters return to stats more akin to their first post-IC mini.

Sorry for the poor format. I seem to be unable to fix the post.

@TheOptimist: Well I wasn't really expecting a book out of it, I'm just happy they exist

They were but they got some New replacements (Save for the Ray & Uncle Sam).

I am happy to here There is a Freedom fighters in The New 52 (It does make me wonder if Ray Termil is still on the team because it seems weird that the government would invite a newbie while the current is alive but whatever) maybe with JLI cancelled in August We may get a Freedom fighters ongoing

I wish they'd get an arc in DC Universe Presents.

Why do they keep putting the Quality characters together as a team? I mean, if they were that great, why'd they go out of business in the first place? I mean, they dont put the Fawcett characters together, nor the Charlton characters, unless its a Watchmen story.

What they should do is putt all three of those groups of characters together, & make a team. I dont know, maybe Captain Marvel, Phantom Lady & Blue Beetle, with the Bullet Couple, Doll Man, (Max) Mercury,maybe give them Guy Gardner or John Stewart as a GL. Move them onto their own Earth. Yes, the main line-up is kinda just copied from the Justice League, but after all that team sells, while no one really has ever heard of the Freedom Fighters.

Also, change up the name a bit. Not saying Freedom League, but Fighters sounds kinda lame.

The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of Freedom Fighters.

Just me though.

I think homeland security with powers is a good idea and every country should have them. Maybe every corporation should sponsor its own super powered teams too.

@colonyofcells: this can only lead to corporate wars led by superpowered mercenaries.
