The Golden Guard

## The Golden Guard - The First, The Best, the Brightest

The Golden Guard are the Greatverse's #1 Superhero team.

## Founding

In the early 70's, the mage-turned-superhero known as Golden Grace assembled a team of her world's greatest protectors. This team was assembeld for the specific intent of defeating a beast known as Bašmu, a giant monster sealed away long ago, awakened by the Cold War. After the defeat of Bašmu, the team chose to stay together, and become a shield for the world. They became Grace's Guardians, the Golden Guard of Earth, and all that lived there.

Greatman was the first person recruited by Grace. He is the team's muscle, and their unnoficial co-leader

Glasseye was recruited by The Sentinel, the two being an on-and-off couple at that point. She is the glue that holds the team together.

Stormblade was recruited by Hellbat, the two being old enemies. He's another source of muscle and raw power.

Additionally, she leads a "Junior Guard," consisting of the younger members of the team, who do smaller missions, and protect the earth while the "Senior Guard" is off fighting threats in space.
