The Virtua Cops

==Summary==
The Virtua Cops are the titular protagonists of the eponymous light gun shooter video game series Virtua Cop created by SEGA for the arcades in 1994, in which they are operatives of the Virtua Cop Police Department's special investigations unit squad as they fight crime and restore order to Virtua City, starting with Michael "Rage" Hardy and James "Smarty" Cools (son of a wealthy family and a playboy, who is popular with women) tracing down the criminal empire EVL Inc. led by a international terrorist Joe Fang, who murdered Michael's father, a veteran detective at the VCPD 2nd Precinct, who undercovered an illegal gun-running operation and traced the runners before being discovered and assassinated.
As of Virtua Cop 2, Jeanette "Janet" Marshall joined the department as an expert in criminal psychology profiling, who left the crime lab to join the VCPD's 2nd Branch Special Investigation Division as a special female detective, dedicating her time on the force to tracking down the killers of her deceased partner and mentor, Nick Anderson, often joining Rage and Smarty as an operator in their missions.
