Sentinel – Frostfire the Greatest Guardian

[diginto]

Frostfire

NAME: ANDREW ADDISON NIXSON SNR.

 Born in Cirrus City to billionaires George and Mary Nixson
 His father, George Nixson owned five 5-star hotels and three 5-star restaurants
 Mary Nixson was a medical doctor; cardiovascular surgeon.
 Has one older brother, Tony Awe Nixson who went to College earlier because he was very smart.
 Andy was part of a group of new born children in a hospital that were experimented on by a mad scientist, Doctor Declan Deagan.
 Dr. Deagan had planted various chemical-biological serums that he had been working on for many years in each of the 10 children. Even he did not know how each formula would affect which child
 The next morning in the hospital, 5 of the experimented children had died and the remaining 5 were in terrible conditions.
 Soon, it was concluded that Andrew would also die soon.
 Another scientist said he could use various animals DNA to fix the infants. The Nixsons refused to let their son pass through that process but the other four did. The scientist was later revealed to be Dr. Deagan in disguise, and he had worsened the children by adding the DNA of a bat, wolf, hyena and fox on them.
 Before the police could arrest Dr. Deagan, he escaped and left the children as four ugly humanoid beasts. Their parents abandoned them and they were all left for dead in a forest near Relite.
 All this happened before winter came. When winter came, Andrew mysteriously got healed and even more, he could generate fire.
 This came as a shock to his parents who contained this as a secret and even moved from the city to Pall-Omar, a small neighborhood at the mouth of Cirrus City.
 To avoid any form of unexpected occurrence, Andrew was kept at home all day long and was even home-schooled.

 
When Andrew was up to high school age, he decided he no more wanted to be home-schooled. He assured his parents that he could control his powers and they allowed him to go to high school.
He quickly becomes friends with Jamal Jeremy Jones, the smartest boy in class who always had a complex remote control car; and with Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Antony; an intolerant Latin-American girl. The three become so close that Andrew decides to tell them about his fire ability.
On one night, when the three were in Andrew’s room, he showed them his fire ability. Things get even more interesting when Jones reveals that he had developed a far more modern ability; he called it technopathy. He could combine machines and manufacture technological devices with just his brain. No wonder he was so smart. Lizzie then suggests they set up a team of crime- fighters. It seems like a joke in the beginning and they laugh. Back then, the only superhero in town was the speedster called LITHE SPEED.
Some weeks later, the first team of villains rises against Pall-Omar. They called themselves THE MIDNIGHT BROTHERS. A group of four malicious fearsome creatures of the night who conduct superstitious crimes and steal only peculiar items such as old pendants, rugged paintings and unremarkable artifacts; items that if they asked, without money, it would be given them. But they strike great terror into people while doing this. The group consisted of a humanoid wolf, fox, hyena and bat. Shortly after they arrived, LITHE SPEED also mysteriously disappeared. He had abandoned the people when they needed him most.
The MIDNIGHT BROTHERS begin to go about preaching doom on the people of the town.
Thus, on one Sunday afternoon, when everyone was in their homes, or in the streets, the four beasts placed time bombs at the feet of the big reservoir which fed the whole of Pall-Omar and beyond. If the reservoir ever gave its water, a great part of Pall-Omar would go with it. The police found out about it on time and the media was telling about it. An evacuation was going on immediately.
Andrew and Jamal decided to stay behind and try to sort out a plan. Andrew suggests using evaporation to stop the water and the two agree to give it a try but the problem was; Andrew didn’t know how to swim; so this was a do or die situation. The reservoir exploded and the water flowed wildly. As soon as the first part of the water touches Andrew, it turns to ice and the ice continues backward to a certain level and stops. The rest of the water flows over the first and falls behind Andrew. As quickly as he could, he jumped back and touched that water as well freezing all the water for good and creating a cave for easy escape. It is revealed that the Midnight Brothers had also been frozen in with the water. No one says anything about forming a team anymore. The team itself gets formed by itself.
 The team’s base of operations was the garage of Reginald Soul; the twin brother of Police Sheriff Ronald Soul; who lived off the road.
 Reginald Soul saw Andrew freezing the water and took the team under him to be their chaperone. He also promises to help them find the origin of their abilities
 Reginald Soul and the team get along very well but he says he wouldn’t let them on the field until they had trained for a whole year; even Lizzie had to train for a minimum of 2 years in advance computer knowledge and taekwondo.
 He seeks permission from their parents in the guise of a school teacher, saying he wanted them to have extra classes.
 Training is harsh but the team makes significant progress; even Lizzie, though without abilities could match the other two in hand-to-hand combat; Andrew could manipulate the fire greatly but the ice was not so good; Jamal had the ability to combine simple metal scrap with a simple pocket radio’s motherboard to create machines ranging from simple remote control cars to complicated tracking devices. He was dangerous on his own.
 Despite Reginald Soul’s advice the youth were still obliged to go onto the field. Threats began to arise so they had to pick up secret identities and special costumes that can contain their abilities and cover them.
o Andrew becomes FROSTFIRE
o Jamal becomes REMOTE
 The team begins to go public in Pall-Omar where the action of the Midnight Brothers had given birth to different sorts of crimes. Their first opponent is Reginald Sprewell, a teenager from their school who had developed superhuman abilities; to generate and manipulate electricity. He went about wreaking havoc in the name Electro-Charge.
 Frostfire and Remote manage to defeat Sprewell and cause him to yield for the doctors to find a cure for him.
 The citizens don’t accept Frostfire and Remote well because of the memories of Lithe Speed.
 Soon, Doctor Deagan moves to town; he had found the seed he had sown and he is here to reap. Meanwhile, a young darkness-casting villains was on the loose; Gloom Girl.
 Declan Deagan kidnaps Andrew and Jamal then tells Andrew about how he had experimented on him 15 years earlier. He revealed that he didn’t know anything about Remote’s abilities but would like to keep him still. He then begins to test Jamal and Andrews’s abilities using special catalysts. This results in a boost of their abilities. They are rescued by Reginald Soul later.
 While escaping, Reginald Soul is killed by Doctor Deagan, while the Gloom Girl was blotting out the light in the area.
 Now knowing the origin of his abilities, he had lost their chaperone. They were now on their own.
 Sherriff Soul told the children that the house meant a lot to his brother (who was presumed shot by a group of mobsters) and since they were the closest ones to him before he disappeared and the house meant so much to them, they could have it and keep it.
 Meanwhile, FROSTFIRE and REMOTE had gained greater abilities; Frostfire could now control his ice to near perfection; Jamal had mastered building almost any mechanical gadget – he only had to imagine it and get ‘some needed equipment’. Soon, Andrew and Lizzie started dating.
 REMOTE rebuilt their base of operations to include Reginald Soul’s house. He designed mainframe computers and special gadgets to help the team find out where and when they were needed. He built for himself, a complex motorcycle which he used his mind to control.
 Andrew’s abilities were enhanced superhuman strength (although not the maximum); flight by means of the impossible combination of fire and ice which he uses to propel himself; fire generation and manipulation (mostly used as a torch in dark places); ice generation and manipulation (the main offense and defense. It doesn’t freeze your bones; it just freezes your body).
 The team continued and advanced greatly. The whole of Cirrus City and most of beyond had recognized their presence and gave them great respect… except some protesters.
 Soon, Mr. and Mrs. George and Mary Nixson sadly died in a car accident and this grieved Andrew very much.
 He found out that they had left their property for Andrew and his older brother, Tony.
 Still, Andrew’s older brother never came home. Rather, he signed all the property his parents had left him over to Andrew and kept only one of his father’s hotels for himself.
 Frostfire spent most of the time in the field than Remote; who rather spent more time manufacturing new gadgets. This caused Frostfire to become way, way respected and trusted in the whole of Cirrus City.
 After some time, when Frostfire and Remote were once under mind control by a classmate, Doreen Delores (Miss Mist), it was time for Lizzie to also mask up. She took up the identity of WILDE KITTEN and thus began her superhero career. She managed to rescue her two partners on her own. She even got her nemesis on that night.
 Since then, Remote began to enhance her suit and gadgets, even making a new motorcycle; the Rolling Claw; for her.
 The team mostly came face to face with villains such as Miss Mist, Shadow Realm, Gloom Girl and Declan Deagan.
 The team got help from, and allied forces with Sandstorm (a very attractive girl with sand manipulation ability who mostly brought complications in Andrew and Lizzie’s relationship).
 All during the stay of the young heroes, the people didn’t know Frostfire, Wilde Kitten and Remote’s superhero names so they named them Sentinel and his Sidekicks, where Sentinel was Frostfire. This issue was raised where Mayor Natasha Arias demanded to meet ‘Sentinel and his Sidekicks’.
 Meanwhile, an assassin on hire was placed to take out the heroes when they came public. When the assassin was placed to shoot, Wilde Kitten engaged and with the help of Remote, defeated him while Frostfire went public to talk to the mayor.
 Frostfire thanked the people for the name which they had given to him and he assured them to keep it and live up to it; saying that, “The Security Men would always be here”.
 He however identified Jamal and Lizzie as Remote and Wilde Kitten respectively. The mayor expressed her gratitude in their success so far and gave him three medals; one for each member of their team. She assured them that she would put up the building of a base of operations for the Security Men in the heart of Cirrus City in order for them to attend to other affairs fairly.
The first Security Men


 A long time passed with Cirrus City under constant watch from their Security Men; the three teenagers matured into young adults; and kept maturing; then finally came the time for higher education. Jamal wanted to go to Ridge University of Science and Technology in Ridge City.
 Lizzie’s parents couldn’t afford her university fees and Lizzie wouldn’t take Andrews money (he tried and tried but she refused). She wanted to go to Brick City to assist with her parent’s ‘family business’.
 This meant the team was automatically going to split. One night, the three met for the last time in Reginald Soul’s house, where Jamal had rearranged into a normal house. That was the night that the three were never returning to their various homes in Pall’Omar.
 Jamal was going to Ridge City; Lizzie was going to Brick City; and Andrew was moving back to the main Cirrus City, where he ‘could have a better view of affairs’.

 In Cirrus City, Andrew lived in one huge house that he had bought close to the new base of operations that Mayor Natasha Arias had built for the Security Men.
 He chose to stop using the Frostfire name and officially become SENTINEL. Now running his father’s restaurants and hotels directly, Andrew was making great achievements in his young manhood. Time passed, villains rose and villains fell, but Sentinel always proved himself to the citizens although he was going solo.
 Briefly, Sandstorm (Docia Christensen) moved to stay in Cirrus City and soon, began to go on patrols with Sentinel.
 As time went on, the two heroes developed a very intimate romantic relationship that resulted in a marriage proposal.
 Meanwhile the secret identities of the two heroes were at loggerheads. Andrew knew who Docia was but the latter had no idea at all.
 However, the relationship-behind-a-mask had also made their hero work become sloppy.
 Sandstorm made the hard decision and chose to end the relationship between them and then moved away from Cirrus City. Sentinel was solo again but still never let Sandstorm find out his secret identity.

 One day, when Andrew was watching his neighborhood from his upstairs windows, he for the first time took notice of a martial arts school of sorts just next door. He decided to pay it a visit. Inside, he met the owner’s nephew, Mitsuhide Hattori.
 When the two engaged in a martial arts conversation about who was greatest, they decided to spar each other. Andrew hadn’t forgotten the training that was given him by Mr. Soul. His opponent however was more trained. Mitsuhide was so fast and stealthy; Andrew had to focus very much if he wanted to touch him. Their battle raged for a short period and ended in a draw.
 Andrew and Mitsuhide became close friends almost immediately. They got involved in a long conversation about all and nothing; until finally, Mitsuhide’s uncle Mitsunari Hattori arrived; at that same time, duty called for Sentinel and Andrew had to leave.
 Mitsuhide had asked Andrew if he could do any menial works for him for money. Andrew accepted the offer and went on to save the city.
 Days, weeks and months passed and Mitsuhide always came to work in Mr. Nixson’s house; washing the cars, cleaning the house, beautifying the garden, doing the laundry etc.; he was a real hard worker; he was somewhat a perfectionist. Meanwhile, Andrew and Mitsuhide became ever closer friends.
 Andrew eventually began to sponsor Mitsuhide’s education and soon enough, his uncle allowed him to move into Mr. Nixson’s house.
 Mitsuhide’s black belt in ninjutsu qualified him for many competitions and with Mr. Nixson’s sponsorship, Mitsuhide began to win many trophies for his uncle’s school and this attracted many students.
 Moreover, Mr. Nixson had also sponsored Mitsunari’s martial arts school which he rebuilt into a bigger one with more facilities and trainers.
 Inevitably, Mitsuhide began to trace the similarities between the identities of superhero Sentinel and Andrew Nixson. He decided to find more clues when cleaning Mr. Nixson’s room; indeed, he found none at all.
 This went on for months until there was one raid of unexpected enemies in Cirrus City; the Midnight Brothers.
 Sentinel remembered that he had never actually fought them before. He only intervened during one of their crisis and they were caught in the middle of it. This time, it seems they were here for him. They had heard of his actions and they were here for revenge.
After one calm evening patrol, Sentinel was flying home peacefully when suddenly; the Midnight Fox pounced on him. Sentinel used his fire ability to burn Midnight Fox off him and just before he would land, Midnight Hyena pounced from another direction and threw him to the ground. Sentinel immediately froze the Hyena’s paws which caused the Hyena to fall. Being very alert in thoughts, Sentinel anticipated an attack from the back by the Midnight Bat. Lo and behold, when Sentinel turned around, the Bat was approaching him in flight. This was a well strategized ambush. Looking at the horrible creature that approached him in flight made Sentinel helpless and the Bat immediately lowered him to the ground. The others also jumped in and grabbed him. He was knocked unconscious and carried away by the villains to a dark cave where he was chained.
Sentinel was woken up the next morning by Midnight Wolf who had unmasked him and began to express his great anger at the way Sentinel stopped them; and about how they had spent many years as animated suspensions; and how they intend to crush him and kill him.
They then related the story of how they were also part of the children that were tested on by Doctor Deagan. They said that since Sentinel didn’t want to join his father then he would have to die. Their father, Dr. Deagan had sent them to do that for him.
Meanwhile, Sentinel sent a distress call to all his allies. The distress calls reached his three former partners (who were very far away from him) and the last one reached home, where Mitsuhide was sound asleep.
The youngster woke up at the sound of the distress call and soon, found himself in Sentinel’s base of operations, underneath the garage. Mitsuhide rushed for the new ninja gear that Andrew Nixson had bought for him for his next competition. This, he donned with one of Sentinel’s masks. In a glass container, there were two beautiful katana that were sitting majestically. Mitsuhide unlocked the container and took off one of the swords, which he wrapped over his right shoulder. There were two amazing motorcycles which Mitsuhide didn’t know who they belonged to. He chose the one which looked like a running tiger. In no time, he was on the streets with the motorcycle directing him to where the distress call was calling from.
He rode to the spot and came to face the four of the Midnight Brothers who were seconds to killing the unmasked Sentinel. Mitsuhide raged and defeated the four creatures all on his own and downed them before he could free Sentinel.
 On the day after the fight, Jamal Jones arrived in Cirrus City and Andrew related the story of the Midnight brothers to him.
 When Jamal met Mitsuhide, he made him his personal motorcycle from the finest of material. He didn’t like the idea of Sentry riding on Wilde Kitten’s motorcycle.
 The Shadow Bike, as Mitsuhide called it was made to fit Mitsuhide’s stature perfectly. It was solar powered; with an unlimited boost of nitro. There were other features that Mitsuhide was yet to find out when using the Shadow Bike.
 Also, Jamal Jones made a more personal mask for Mitsuhide. This mask had night vision, in-built binoculars, communication devices, and a face-stinger which for some false attempt to unmask. He also invented tracking devices, smoke bombs, knock-out gas and other amazing gadgets that could help Mitsuhide in his crime-fighting life. Amazingly, most of the attack and defense devices were laced with either ice or fire.
 From then onward, Mitsuhide took up the alter ego of Sentry and took to crime-fighting as Sentinel’s sidekick. What odd partners they were.
 Sentry’s primary weapons however were two studded tonfa which crossed at his back with their handles sitting on the wearer’s shoulder as a shield when not in use. Jamal had laced one of the tonfa to be ice attack and the other, fire attack. Everything was an amazing resemblance to Sentinel’s abilities.
 Soon afterward, Jamal Jones returned to Ridge City.
 Together, Sentinel and Sentry; although an odd team; tidied up the streets of Cirrus City. They faced off with villains such as Mark Mace (a young billionaire girl who had wanted to train with Mitsunari), Shade Ninja (Mitsuhide’s past best friend, who now wanted to counter him) and Murielle Moseley (young lady who was attracted to Andrew Nixson but wanted to kill Sentinel)
 They had alliance forces from Rasta Ninja (Mitsuhide’s Rastafarian best friend who decided to take up crime-fighting to assist him)
 The new Security Men; Sentinel, Sentry and Rasta Ninja worked hard to cleanse Cirrus City.

[diginto]

 Soon, a secret call came from S’Hyde Police Commissioner Robin Rogers, requesting a party of masked crime fighters in Quills Ville that can ‘match-up’ to the increasing rate of costumed villains in the City. This request was delivered by fellow crime fighter Hoarfrost; asking for Sentry’s alliance.

 Sentry initially denied the request but later accepted, provided Rasta Ninja came with him.
 On the night where Mitsuhide and Reyna Makeedha (Rasta Ninja) were to move to Quills Ville, they delayed a little to help Sentinel to chase down Shade Ninja through the whole of Cirrus City. He was caught by Sentry at the mouth of the border that separated Relite from S’Hyde.
 In S’Hyde, Sentry joined a team of young crime-fighters consisting of Hoarfrost, Renae, Buttress, and Rasta Ninja of which he was the leader.

 Shortly after the departure of Sentry and Rasta Ninja, Andrew had the greatest surprise of his life; Lizzie Antony came back to Cirrus City from Brick City to stay. She brought with her a young girl named Paige Norman whom she had taken care of while in Brick City.
 Andrew soon proposed to Lizzie and the two had a successful marriage which was attended by various crime fighting allies. Shortly thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. Nixson had a first born daughter who they named Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Vanessa Nixson.
 Mitsuhide returned briefly to Relite without Reyna to help Mr. Nixson in managing affairs and the new child.
 Lizzie Nixson revealed to her husband and Mitsuhide that Paige was having super abilities. She had the ability to travel through shadows and also camouflage herself into other people’s shadows.
 What’s more, Lizzie was now known as WILDE TIGRESS and Paige was Wilde Tigress’s partner back in Brick City known as SILHOUETTE.
 The new arrangement became such that, Mr. and Mrs. Nixson were mostly taking care of new born Betty Nixson; while Sentry and Silhouette took care of the crime fighting affairs. Once in a while, Sentinel joined and helped them.
 Sentry and Silhouette begin to develop an on-and-off romantic relationship. Eventually, their relationship stabilizes despite an opposition from Andrew who claimed they were too young to be in a relationship.
 When Betty was old enough to start going to school, Mitsuhide returned to Quills Ville to join the UH which had two new members; Firmament, a very awesome hero; and Ultralad.
 Mr. and Mrs. Nixson conceived and bore twins, sons; who they named Jones Addison Nixson and Andrew ‘Andy’ Nixson Jnr.
 Sentinel continued crime fighting with Silhouette as his partner while Lizzie Nixson took care of the children full time. When she was not in school or assisting Sentinel, Paige helped Lizzie with taking care of the children as well.
 Betty didn’t show any signs of having inherited any of her father’s abilities. Jones and Andy however had each developed an aspect of their father’s ability. Andy inherited the fire and heat ability; while Jones inherited the ice and cold ability.
 Betty, however at a young age, she went into martial arts training; training with Mitsuhide. Lizzie however refused to train her at all.
 When she turned eleven, Betty made a costume for herself and dons it to help her father, calling herself Sentinelle. Initially, Sentinel didn’t know who was behind the mask of Sentinelle, but with the combined effort of himself and Wilde Tigress, they found out it was their own daughter.
 Since Silhouette had been Sentinel’s partner for a long while, Wilde Tigress thought it wise to train her own daughter to be her new apprentice. Betty was then subjected to training by her mother. Wilde Tigress trained her daughter in her cat-like fight style and named her the second Wilde Kitten.
 Wilde Kitten mostly rode in Wilde Tigress’s sidecar during their crime fighting spree.
 Together, the duo fought criminals such as Mistress Mist, Ninny and Nitwit, and Alphreth Carter-Kane.
 Soon enough, it was realized that Betty was spending more time in her superhero identity more than in her civilian identity. This caused her grades in school to fall badly. Drastic action had to be taken. Mr. and Mrs. Nixson resolved to take Betty to Boarding School.
 When Betty heard of it at first, she runs away from home as Wilde Kitten on the Rolling Claw.
 She was ambushed and kidnapped by Mistress Mist, who sought to make her nemesis, Wilde Tigress’s daughter her apprentice. She manages to get into Wilde Kitten’s head and turns her against her family briefly.
 With the combined effort of the whole family that had grown and trained her, Betty comes back to her senses and agrees to go to Boarding School.
 Andy and Jones however used their abilities freely at home; but they still never knew the complicated superhero background of their family.
 The Security Men still did a great job for year after year
 Suddenly, however, Sentinel and Wilde Tigress go AWOL for a whole year.

 In that same season, Betty completed her university study and came home to continue her superhero partnership with Wilde Tigress. In her mother’s absence however, Wilde Kitten fought crime with Silhouette.
 Eventually, Betty revealed her superhuman abilities to her partner. She had inherited a carbon copy of her father’s ability but had always hidden it till then. When she realized how the criminals were not as afraid as they were before, she said that the City needed a Sentinel.
 She entrusted her secret to only her partner and made sure she vowed to say nothing of it. She eventually made a superhero costume that was the feminine version of her father’s own. She then named herself Sentinel and took to inflicting more fear on the criminals.
 Sentry also took a break from the UH and left Quills Ville because of the disappearance of Mr. and Mr. Nixson and ‘besides, they could take care of themselves’.
 He moved to stay in his uncle’s house in Relite, and also began to help him with the martial arts school.
 Mitsuhide soon found out that a new female Sentinel had risen and he didn’t want to be the Sentry to a girl and ‘besides, he had grown out of that name’.
 Sentry changed his superhero identity and becomes Shadow Ninja. He changed from using two tonfa to using a one katana. It was a complicated sword which he had asked Jamal Jones to assemble for him. With the press of a button, the blade of the sword could be laced with ice; and with another button, could be laced with fire. His reason was that, the criminals had grown too stubborn. Meanwhile he and Silhouette’s love life blossomed still.
 Soon however, Mitsuhide realized in his uncle’s martial arts school, a certain young boy who was very good in martial arts. Since Mitsuhide was helping his uncle par-time, he volunteered to train the boy personally. His name was Roland Percy.
 As their training proceeded, something terrible happened in Roland’s family. His parents were mixed up in the presence of a gang fight and were both shot dead.
 Mitsuhide quickly adopts the young boy and moved him to live with him.
 Mitsuhide reveals his superhero identity to the boy and tells him why he does that job; ‘the world is unstable and someone has to step on the weight of justice to make it heavier, besides, if it wasn’t done, more parents would end up like Roland’s’.
 Roland wanted in. Mitsuhide trained him extensively in some of the arts he had come to learn outside his uncle’s tutelage. When Roland was prepared, he donned the mask of Sentry and worked as Shadow Ninja’s sidekick.
 The new Security Men were now a female Sentinel, Shadow Ninja, Silhouette and a new Sentry.
 Soon, Shadow Ninja found out about Betty inheriting her father’s abilities and confronted her. She revealed the truth to him but begged him to keep it a secret from her parents. He assured her.
 As Mitsuhide realized, Roland preferred to work with Betty more than with him. He was first reluctant to allow Roland to go but he soon agreed and Roland began to be the sidekick of Betty instead.
 After a year of absence, Andrew and Lizzie reappeared.
 Immediately, Betty hangs her cape as Sentinel and returned to being Wilde Kitten. Her confidants also acted well.
 Mr. and Mrs. Nixson revealed that they were on a spy mission in a war-torn African country with Espy and Africa’s greatest hero Anansi-The-Spider and his sidekick Cob-Web. They had to be gone like they weren’t there, that’s why they didn’t inform anyone about their departure.
 Sentinel got to find out that Mitsuhide had adopted a younger boy from his uncle’s martial arts school. The child had lost his parents and Mitsuhide had taken him in and trained him to be the new Sentry (Roland Perry).
 For the brief period after Mr. and Mrs. Nixson’s arrival, Mitsuhide traveled to Katef City to assist Buttress and Hoarfrost in infiltrating Big Bonze’s lair to rescue the latter’s girlfriend, Rasta Ninja.
 Meanwhile in Cirrus City, Sentinel (Andrew) and the new Sentry (Roland) paired to fight crime. During their crime fighting, Sentry revealed to Sentinel that he had some gadgets that could perform fire or heat related characteristics while the others could perform ice or cold related characteristics. Sentry possessed two tonfa as well; one laced with ice and one laced with fire. His tonfa were a new pair made by Jamal and more advanced than the first ones.
 Meanwhile, during their stay, they still hid their superhero life from their two boys.

 Soon, a call came for the matured heroes to join a team of Superheroes that would collectively deal with a great threat that the world was going to face in the future. Wilde Tigress and Sentinel agreed to go while Sentry and Silhouette stayed in Cirrus City to take care of affairs as well as Jones and Andy.
 In Brick City, Sentinel was part of a group of adult heroes that combined forces in neutralizing an alien invasion from the Conquering Diamonds. The shiny crystal-like aliens came to earth chasing another alien from Luminae.
 The group, consisting of Sentinel, Wilde Tigress, Sandstorm, Earthwork, Apposite Girl, Axis, K9 and Dr. Jeremy Jones neutralized the attack of the aliens despite great challenges.
 The Luminarian who was being chased by the villains had gotten amnesia since he crash landed on Earth. The team agreed to name him Damian Gitson, after …
 Damian had the ability to generate hard light from his bare hands, among other amazing abilities.
 After the victory over the Conquering Diamonds, the team decided to settle down and form a permanent team. It was later known as the Superheroes Society.
 For the first year, Damian lived in the headquarters of the Superheroes Society, training with each member of the team.
 Meanwhile, the Superheroes Society was struggling to fit in with government officials who were overwhelmed by the organized strength of the crime-fighters now.
 The Superheroes Society faced off against villains such as Professor Bill I’Wood (a mad professor who had learned a formula to mutate people), Big Bonze, Bodyguard Tia Tia (a very well trained bodyguard who uses her free time to face off against masked crime fighters), Queen Ant (A very rich woman who had a lot of able-bodied men at her service), Destro-the-Destroyer (an inter-galactic doomsday villain) and The Disdain Hegemony (a team of power-thirsty villains).
 In Cirrus City, Betty picked up her mask as the female Sentinel again and paired up with Sentry (Roland) to fight crime.
 Soon enough, Sentinel (Andrew) decided to take Damian home to live with his family and have a normal life. When he came home, Betty once again reverted to Wilde Kitten.

 As soon as he and Lizzie reached home, some bad news followed.
 Lizzie’s biological brother, Orlando Antony, who was a fireman, was killed while trying to rescue people from a burning building. Orlando’s wife had died while giving birth to her first son. Now, Lizzie was the only one that the child could turn to at that time.
 Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Antony thus came to live with the Nixsons in their huge house.
 Before long, he found out about the children’s abilities (apart from Damian whose ability was known by only Mr. and Mrs. Nixson) and this made him at first afraid of them, but later got used to it.
 Damian and Andy Jr. were very close from the first time they met. Jones Jr. and Nicky also clicked very well. Nicky expressed how he ‘envied’ the others’ special abilities.
 Shortly thereafter, something more spectacular occurred.
 The Midnight Brothers attacked on a school day and kidnapped Sentinel, Wilde Tigress, Silhouette and Shadow Ninja.
 After school, when Percy found out the disappearance of the others, he compromised his secret identity and enlisted the help of Andy, Jones and Damian (who also revealed his abilities as soon as he heard of the kidnap). Roland and Damian were the only two trained fighters but Jones and Andy were complete amateurs.
 The three new heroes each donned various versions of Sentry’s costume. They took up codenames; Damian became Sentry No. 3, Jones became Sentry No. 4 and Andrew became Sentry No. 5. Nicholas insisted on going with them, despite having no abilities or training.
 Under the leadership of Sentry No. 2 (Roland) the four youngsters infiltrated the Modern Facility that belonged to the Midnight Brothers who now had a lot of henchmen that wore fear-inspiring animal masks.
 Nicholas however was supposed to stay put and wait for the others to return but he strayed and went off-mission.
 This ended him in the treasury of the Midnight Brothers. While going through the affairs of the villains, Nicholas caught sight of a belt which he carelessly put on. It was only after he girt his loins about that he realized it was the belt that granted ex-speedster Lithe Speed his powers. Nicholas had only heard of Lithe Speed but never actually seen him.
 Nicholas was now a speedster and immediately identified himself as Sentry No. 6
 The first four young heroes are initially almost overwhelmed by the strength of the Midnight Brothers but with the help of their new speedster, they take the lead again, defeat their opponents and rescue their family.
 No. 6 then takes this chance to ask of what exactly had happened to Lithe Speed, the Midnight Brothers told him that; “When they started their work as villains, they stole the belt from the original Lithe Speed. Dr. Deagan had wanted it, but after they stole it, he, being a mad scientist, forgot all about it. The original Lithe Speed, however, had tried many ways to find them but they always escaped him because he was no more a speedster”. No. 6 then decided to keep the speedster’s belt.
 Back at home, Sentinel and his wife are first reluctant to allow the children to take up crime-fighting but later agreed. Jamal Jones came to Cirrus City to prepare the crime-fighting kit for the new youth heroes.
 Jones took up the secret identity FROSTY, Damian became LANTERNSTAR, Andy became WILDFIRE and Nicky became SPRY.
 As soon as Andrew and Lizzie returned to the Superheroes Society, Betty took back the mantle of Sentinel, identifying herself as the local Sentinel, and continued working with Sentry.
 Shadow Ninja and Silhouette took a break to go and join the UH ‘for a while’. It looked more like they were going to start their own family. Roland was sent to live in the Nixson’s huge house.
 The remaining Security Men were Sentinel (Betty), Sentry (Roland), Frosty, Wildfire and Lanternstar.

 In Brick City, the Superheroes Society had expanded greatly and some of the new members were Myriad Maiden (a young alien-oriented woman with marvelous abilities to multiply herself into many super strong clones), Prime Time (a speedster who had access to time travel), Axis (an alien guardian who could make her body into a portal to space), Ferocette (the wife of a super-villain who after defeating her husband, decided to continue in the superhero career), Finn the Fortunate and Espy.
 The Superheroes Society discovered a hero who could replicate anyone’s abilities and powers. They trained him using various sidekicks until he had mastered the skills of all the youth heroes. He was then officially enlisted as Prince.
 Jamal Jones had given up his identity as Remote and worked with the team as its Lawyer, Spokesperson and Public Relations Officer.
 Soon enough, Andrew heard that his elder brother, Tony had gone missing. After a while, a new superhero (Shock Wave) came to town, chasing down super-villains King Shock and Lord Burner. With the help of the Superheroes Society, Shock Wave brings the villains to justice.
 Andrew soon realized that Shock Wave was his ‘missing’ brother Tony. Sentinel revealed his secret identity to his brother and the two reunite as a family; as well as Shock Wave joined the Superheroes Society.
 When Tony was retreating to Pall-Omar for an undercover mission from the Superheroes Society, his two nephews, Wildfire and Lanternstar decide to go with him.
 There, Wildfire and Lanternstar remain and form the first Brotherhood of Young Superheroes; using Reginald Soul’s house as their base of operations; with other young heroes; Beastie (amazing youth who could morph into insects with different heights), Energy Girl (a super strong; ultraviolet emitting teenager), Lithe Speed (the son of the original who didn’t need a belt) and Voltage (a victim of King Shock’s Youth Empowerment Programme).
 In Pall-Omar, Tony Nixson seemingly ‘dies’ but Shock Wave survived. Tony faked the death of his civilian identity and decides to take up full-time crime fighting. Shock Wave later returned to the Superheroes Society and took up full time duty with the team.
 The current Security Men are the local Sentinel and Sentry. Meanwhile, Frosty and Spry fight crime alone on another territory and handle it effectively.
 Sentinel (Andrew) currently serves as the leader of the Superheroes Society.
