Age of the destroyersDestroyer SquadWar Gauntlet's story didn't start with him but with a little group known as the destroyer' squad.A group of highly trained government issued superheroes. They serviced to stop any threat to the well being of American citizen's and possibly the world. That was until the attack on Pearl Harbor. The squad didn't get there in time and it sent the nation into chaos.
The team were shocked they had always been there to stop the snipers,disarm the bombs but this time they weren't there. None of them were more effected than Grand Guardian. After that he flew overseas and took out anyone insight. He was so blinded by rage that he also killed some us soldiers
Because of his killings the team was disbanded and many were put into suspicion as being traitors. Siren Susie was later murdered by her husband. Quickman died along side Jungle Cat in a mission and Havock Hawk and Ultra Jones died in a shootout by some angry citizens.
These deaths shaped America as a whole they know longer trusted superheroes of any kind. Anyone who was one would be brought to Justice by the hands of the government. That was until they needed a new one.
Enter War GauntletWar Gauntlet was the top shooter in his school's ROTC program. This led to his kidnapping by the FAD Federal Assassin Department. He was blindfolded,beaten and put into a chamber where he was tested. However he soon broke out of the chamber and attacked anyone who was around. He wounded four guards with bullets from a gun he wrestled out of one of their hands.
War Gauntlet's debutSenshi BladeThe Department was very impressed and they asked him to become a hero to fight against threats to the well being of America. He questioned it because of what happened the last heroes the government issued. They informed that the law was going to be overturned and he would only be used to stop certain threats. He agreed to become one but only if he was allowed to stop being apart of the FAD when he chose to. He decided to call him self War Gauntlet.
His first mission was to kill Senshi,Blade the militant leader that had taken over parts of Japan. At first he was overpowered by the veteran killer but he was able to kill him by knocking him off the side of a building. Gauntlet found out that Senshi Blades real name was Delta West,the illegitimate son of Jungle Cat. In respect of the hero Gauntlet buried his son by him back in the US.DESTROYER SQUAD 2.0The new destroyer squadWar Gauntlet got tired of being apart of the F.A.D. after a year and decided to get out. He renamed himself Hawk Gauntlet and went solo. However he joined the new destroyer squad after they saved his life during a riot in New York. Fighting along side Sun Guardian,Starla Knight,Ruby Hood,Spykra and Tony Rush.They fought many battles against international threats for two years
. Until Secret Files where Gauntlet found out the DS was actually controlled by the FAD. This sent Gauntlet into a frenzy and he blew up the DS HQ while the others were away on a mission. Sun Guardian was the first to find out and brutally attacked and tried to kill Gauntlet. Gauntlet however found his weakness (Ultra Led) and weakened him enough to throw him into the water. Gauntlet then went after the director Ashford of the FAD and killed him for trying to keep him in the FAD.
After that the FAD closed down and the members of DS went their separate ways.
War Gauntlet War?It was something that War Gauntlet thought would never happen. He would now have to face someone that had since been long gone or so he thought. It started with a random forest fire on the coast of Jornovia which was reported internationally. It shouldn't have set off War Gauntlet to be suspicious that was until he saw a faint outlining of a man grinning in the flames. He traveled over to Jornovia to investigate. He met with Boris Koslov another investigator to find out what happened.
"I don't know who did this but If I'm right about why this was started we might have an international war on our hands"- Koslov
Who would want to do this to Jornovia I mean there like Switzerland-Gauntlet
Boris checked threw the files of past Jornovian problems no one had ever done something like that. War Gauntlet showed the him the video of the man in the fire.
"No not him,look Gauntlet it would be best if you left here while you still can-Koslov said walking out of the room.
ViralGauntlet decided to check the half charred jungle to find any clues of the man in the video. He didn't have to search long till someone found him. A masked man known as Viral quickly knocked him out and dragged him threw the jungle. Gauntlet woke up tied to a tree in a make shift base.A man dressed in black lingered over him and laughed.
"So the new hero finally meets the old"the man said kicking Gauntlet. Gauntlet looked confused at the man. The man took off his mask and underneath stood the thought to be dead Jungle Cat. "I heard about you Gauntlet,and how you killed my son." "You see they never found my body and assumed I was dead,I went a little crazy after that mission and became an international terrorist.
"But you should look a lot older,"Gauntlet said trying to get out of the rope. "Yes but the jungles of Jornovia hold a certain gas that can make you look young while you get older,"Jungle Cat said back. "I'm planning on starting an international war,between the US,Japan,and Jornovia,that's why my son was stationed there." "Until you killed him" "Imagine a war,of the free,the techs and the neutral."
Gauntlet shot out the rope and attacked Jungle Cat,but Jungle Cat came back with a punch sending Gauntlet back.
Gauntlet fired a laser out of his wrist gauntlet and sent Cat back into a tree. Viral tried to step in but Gauntlet stopped him with a flash grenade. Cat came back with a sword and almost cut off Gauntlet's leg. Cat laughed but it only sent Gauntlet into a rage and attacked Cat pinning him against the tree with his own sword. Gauntlet walked away and threw a grenade behind him it landed and blew up right near Jungle Cat. Gauntlet finished his trip to Jornovia and caught a boat back to America.
Gauntlet looked back at the jungle as he rode away on the boat. He saw Jungle Cat's with his suit torn up. Gauntlet just stared at Jungle Cat not surprised at him being alive.War Gauntlet War Part 2Gauntlet eventually met Jungle Cat again in Frontier City where they faced off in a skyscraper. Jungle Cat threatened to order the attacks on Japan if Gauntlet took another step towards him. But luckily Gauntlet had called Sun Guardian for back up earlier. Sun Guardian sneaked behind Jungle Cat and threw him against the wall. Only to be surprised by an attack by Viral,Viral held off both of them long enough for Jungle Cat to escape.
Gauntlet and Sun Guardian tracked Viral and Jungle Cat back to Jornovia where they were ambushed by Viral,but Guardian fought back allowing Gauntlet to go after Jungle Cat. Gauntlet got the upper hand but Jungle Cat surprised him and knocked him into the missile launcher. Gauntlet used his grappling gun to grab on to missile. He climbed up it and rewired it to crash back towards the Jungle. He jumped off as it fell to the ground and exploded killing Viral. The smoke cleared and Jungle Cat was still alive but his suit was torn.
"How are you not dead-Gauntlet
"Legends never die kid,they're only retold-Jungle Cat
Jungle Cat attacked Gauntlet once again and knocked him against a tree. He rushed towards him and jumped into the air. But Gauntlet was quick he pulled out his gun and shot him. Jungle Cat screamed and Gauntlet shot him again. Jungle Cat tried to get up again and rush Gauntlet but Gauntlet shot again killing Jungle Cat. Gauntlet and Sun Guardian both left Jornovia and disarmed the other missile's
Things ChangeGauntlet was there right in front of them about to die.The destroyer squad had come back together to help Gauntlet defeat the Malice Syndicate. But not even Gauntlet expected what was going to happen. The Malice Syndicate hired a top assassin known as Agent Shade to kill Gauntlet with a bomb. Shade tracked down the team and took them down leaving only Gauntlet and him in a old warehouse. Shade and Gauntlet were an equal match until Shade shot him.
Agent ShadeThe shot's sound woke up the team from outside and they tried to get in before it was to late. Shade tied up Gauntlet with bomb and started the timer. The team broke in just in time to face Shade but Shade knocked them all into the water around the warehouse. The bomb went off killing Gauntlet and sending the team into a spiral. Shade returned to the Malice Syndicate to tell them about killing Gauntlet.
Scene base of Malice Syndicate-southern Sahara
"I've killed Gauntlet,the team is going to fall apart-Agent Shade
"Well done,Agent Shade,but for your next mission is to separate them,then use their weaknesses to destroy their team-ProtoUltra
"Yes in order for our next plan to work they must all be destroyed-Mr.Delta
"So wait your group couldn't defeat them on your own,so you send me to kill them-Agent Shade.
"Do not question us Shade,for we have a purpose that involves us not taking any unnecessary risk,that's why we hired you- Maze Master.
"Once they are we can move on to our bigger plans-Cassandra Petrov
Shade turned around and left the base for his next mission.
He found the DS in their new base just south of New York in the Atlantic. But they were ready for him this time. Spykira attacked first but he took her down by trapping her in Carbon Iron,the only metal her spikes won't phase threw. Tony Rush tried to get her out but Shade froze him in an arctic chamber. Ruby tried to trap him with her sonic lasso while Starla tried to open blind him with a star blaze.
But Shade turned it around knocked out Ruby and lassoed her and Starla in Ruby's rope. Sun Guardian knocked him into the water and tried to untie his friends. But Shade shot out the water and fought Guardian one on one. Guardian started an onslaught of rage against shade. But Shade led Guardian into a trap and closed him in an Ultra Led chamber.
Shade kicked them off the side the base's cliff and into the water. Shade returned to the MS hideout to report on what he had done.
"I defeated the rest of the DS-Shade.
"Good Job Shade or should we say War Gauntlet?-Maze Master
"What are you talking about I killed him on my first mission-Shade
"You mean you killed the robot you made of yourself- ProtoUltra
Gauntlet pulled out his gun and started shooting. Taking out the guards and going after Maze master. ProtoUltra captured Gauntlet and told Maze to stab him. Maze rushed over motioning the blade towards Gauntlet but Gauntlet broke away from Proto and Maze stabbed Proto.
Maze's face turned to shock as he saw what he did. Cassandra threw a sword at Gauntlet but Gauntlet grabbed it and threw it back at her hitting her shirt and pinning her to the wall. Gauntlet heard foot steps and turned around to see Ruby standing there. She quickly attacked him and knocked him to the ground.
"Ruby why are you doing this-Gauntlet
Ruby took his utility belt off and wrapped him in her rope.
"Stupid I was working for them ever since DS got back together-Ruby
"Why would you do this Ruby-Gauntlet
"Because,I'm sick of playing the hero and being in the team's shadow-Ruby.
Ruby held up the utility belt and laughed.
"Without this and the fact your all tied up your nothing-Ruby
Gauntlet reached into his pocket and grabbed a bomb controller,he pressed it and the utility belt exploded blowing up the building and knocking Ruby back.
Maze master and Cassandra got out alive but Gauntlet had to carry Ruby out because she was knocked out.
He returned to the team and explained the whole thing.
"I went undercover and faked my death to get inside the MS to learn their plans-Gauntlet"So Ruby was a traitor?-Guardian
"Yes-Gauntlet
"Well then we move on-Guardian
