## History

After Shay Daniels revealed his identity to the world and the fact that Steve Rogers is alive, Bucky Barnes tracked down Shay to The Vault, and after running into Ren Carter who was there to also find Shay, the two broke him out of prison, moments before his lethal injection. Now all damned men, Shay proposed the idea of making a ghost team to take down SHIELD and save superhumans as they could not return to their normal lives after being placed on SHIELD's Most Wanted List. Bucky dubbed the ghost team, **The Thunderbolts**, establishing a sort of suicide squad between the three of them.

Shay was forced to fake his death after meeting with Hooligans', giving Bucky and Steve a chance to meet each other again after over 70 years and telling them the plan. Their first stop was Paris to make contact with Rainbow to be given new identities, SHIELD information, and new equipment to begin their plan of burning SHIELD to the ground, save superhumans, and prepare for the coming war. After meeting with Rainbow, the team began to formulate plans on what to do next which included meeting a subdivision of Rainbow called NERV.

Recently, the team became defunct following the dissolution of SHIELD and the clearing of the members names. Bucky would return to Brooklyn while Shay and Ren returned to Las Vegas.
