The Firebrands

The Firebrands (team)

Once the top class of the School of Hard Knocks the Firebrands are some of the most vigorous, destructive villains in New Gauntlet City. They took out Anesthesia in a Dreamsend bank robbery, they attacked an Optimax Blackzone to free several people who had been enslaved and experimented on by the industries, and were part of the Villain Blitzkrieg that took many heroes by surprise and even took out The Gauntleteer.

After issue 3 they were betrayed by the head of the School of Hard Knocks and found their memories of the Gauntleteer's existence a liability. They escaped and are currently looking for a new base and how to make up for what has happened. Their ties to villainy are becoming tenuous.
