For years, the world has known them only as the G-MEN! A brave, selfless band of Gen-Actives, protecting humanity from their villainous brethren! Defending a world that dreads and despises them!
The truth is hardly less strange! Secretly, the G-Men are the student body at the Gaunt Institute for the Exceptional. Under the tutelage of Professor Hiram Gaunt, or “Professor G” as the students call him, the G-Men learned not only the usual high school curriculum, but also how to use their powers to save others!
Graduation day has come and gone, but they remain G-Men! When Professor G detects a powerful gen-active signature on an island known to Americans as Kooey Kooey Kooey, he thinks he’s sending them an a breezy island adventure.
He was gravely mistaken.
What the G-Men thought was a welcoming paradise is actually KUANO, THE LIVING ISLAND THAT WALKS. The Gen-Active isn’t *on* the island — it IS the island!
Only Basilisk escapes! To rescue his friends, he and the Professor will have to recruit an ALL-DIFFERENT, ALL-NEW team of G-Men!
Hailing from the Canadian Wilderness, the bestial ex-mercenary known as PANTHA joins the team when Professor G promises to help her reclaim lost memories!
From Israel, the conscientious objector known as the FULL COPPER MAN is an outcast as much for his constantly metallic body as for his choices. He’s keen to take up the Professor’s offer at a chance to be a true hero!
Hailing from an Apache Reservation in the American Southwest, RAINMAKER, is hesitant to leave her land and people. But Basilisk’s pleas for the life of his friends prove impossible to deny!
From New Zealand, the flying powerhouse known as UNION is never one to shy away from a chance to be a hero! He accepts before Basilisk even finishes the offer.
Together, they form an uncanny new team of G(eno)-Men!
Time for a daring rescue mission!

When a city is menaced by electromagnetic fluctuations, the G-Men immediately suspect their old nemesis, HANS LECKTER.
The only hole in that theory? Hans Leckter is currently... a baby? That’s a story for another time.
Rainmaker flexes her weather manipulation to new heights to stabilize the atmosphere... but that’s not a sustainable solution.
Thankfully, those responsible take credit: the nefarious conspiracy known by the name D.E.M.O.N.!
They demand a ransom, or else they’ll magnetically level the city... but the G-Men aren’t about to let that happen.
When they confront DEMON at their base, they discover the source of the disaster: a diabolical device powered a young Gen-Active named Rhea Jones!
Can they save the day and the girl?

Professor G is able to detect a familiar psychic trace on Ohmen — the same one he detected on Kuano!
As the mystery deepens, the G-Men face a bizarre gauntlet in their attempt to rescue Basilisk!
They sense that they’re being tested... but why?
