Fictional character biography

[edit]

First Aryan Brigade

[edit]

The Aryan Nation is a white supremacist terrorist organization which created a designer virus that would attack and destroy "non-white" DNA in humans. They are secretly led by U.S. Senator Sanders Hotchkins. When several noted chemists disappear, the FBI contacts Hannibal Martin, the Justice League Task Force's liaison. In response, Martian Manhunter assembles a covert team to infiltrate the terrorists. While undercover, Hourman draws attention after being forced to use his powers and is attacked by the Aryan Nation's enforcers: the Aryan Brigade. With the aid of Blind Faith's mental powers, the Aryan Brigade ambushes the Task Force. The Aryan Brigade intends to distribute their virus throughout Earth's atmosphere, but is thwarted by Martian Manhunter, who forces the rocket to detonate.[2]

The Aryan Brigade's members are recruited by the Overmaster to be part of his new Cadre.[1] Golden Eagle and Heatmonger go on to join the Suicide Squad.[3]

Heatmonger and Iron Cross are among the villains transported to another world in Salvation Run. While stranded on the planet, Iron Cross is killed by the Joker.[4] Heatmonger is used by Lex Luthor as a power source for a teleportation device, and is seemingly killed when it self-destructs.[5]

Second Aryan Brigade

A new version of the Aryan Brigade appears and is composed of Backlash and new members Rebel, Bonehead and Luftwaffe. They attack a casino in Las Vegas, but are swiftly defeated by the Freedom Fighters.[6]
