seVen soldIers of VICTory

In every age, seven heroes gather together to battle a terrible evil. In the golden age, these heroes gathered to battle the master criminal called the Hand, the Tyrants of Time, the ne- farious Sense Master, the strange Wizards of Wisstark, the dia- bolical Dummy, and more. In the silver age, the seven heroes gathered only one time, to defeat the greatest villains of the time as they worked together to build the ultimate weapon. Finally, in the modern age, a new band of heroes was needed to defeat an invasion by the Sheeda, a monstrous race com- ing to attack humanity from outside time and space. Vigilan- te, one of the original Seven Soldiers of Victory, thought he could defeat the Sheeda by assembling a new group of seven heroes—only to form a team one hero short that he led into a trap and tragedy.

A prophecy in their own culture predicted that they would be defeated by seven soldiers, and so the Sheeda targeted any gathering of seven—including the Justice League and the Ultramarines, as well as Vigilante’s team—and nullified them before they even knew of the Sheeda’s existence.

So it came to be that the Seven Soldiers of Victory for the modern age who defeated the Sheeda and saved humanity were seven heroes whose destiny drew them to the critical moment when they saved the day and then went their sepa- rate ways—a team that never met.

When Dr. Lance Harrower developed an experimental metal alloy that could make skin nearly indestructible, he used him- self as the first human test subject … and died. His wife Alix tried to help him and also was affected by the alloy; she was the only one the doctors were able to save. Her experience left her with metallic skin and the ability to fly. Crushed by her husband’s death, Alix Harrower was prepared to kill her- self—until she came across a derailed train and became a hero when she saved the passengers.

winged steed Vanguard broke free of Castle Revolving and tum- bled through time, arriving in twenty-first century Los Angeles. As Sir Justin tracked the cauldron across Los Angeles, the Sheeda queen tracked Justin through time, to a final con- frontation in which Sir Justin was forced to battle Sir Gala- had twisted into a monster by the Sheeda. In their combat, Sir Justin proved he had valor and strength that made him worthy of carrying on the legacy of Camelot … and that Ys- tin was secretly Ystina, a girl who once loved Galahad, the knight she was forced to kill.

Following the queen back to Castle Revolving, Sir Justina and Vanguard struck one final blow against the queen, wounding and weakening her in the first step to the Sheeda’s defeat at the hands of the Seven Soldiers of Victory.

Taking the name Bulleteer, Harrower was prepared to answer Vigilante’s call to reform the Seven Soldiers—only to back out at the last second, leaving Vigilante with only six heroes and dooming their battle with the Sheeda. Determined to become a true hero after hearing about the death of Vigilante, Bulleteer worked with the F.B.I., became a bodyguard-for-hire, and finally confronted the ageless villainess Sally Sonic whose tempta- tions led Bulleteer’s husband to test his process too soon. Defeating Sonic, Bulleteer was about to call an end to her days as a hero when she met the spirit of Vigilante, who revealed that she was a direct descendant of Aurakles, Earth’s first su- per hero, and that her destiny was to save the world. Denying destiny, Bulleteer set out to drive the defeated Sally Sonic to the hospital … only to crash into the wounded Sheeda queen and kill her, fulfilling her part in defeating the Sheeda invasion.
