## Appearances

### Debut

United Heroes Vol. 1

The United Heroes is a superhero team and peacekeeping organisation. First founded to act as an official, and accountable superhero team, it has become the world’s foremost group as well as the primary authority on superhero issues.

## Members and Expansion

**Founding Members**

* The Fox - Original member of the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force.
* Rex - Original member of the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force.
* Shift - A later member of the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force.
* Tangent - Whilst he never served on the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force, he had worked with the other heroes numerous times prior to their joint establishment of the UH.
* Titan - Original member of the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force. He was elected as the group's first chair.

**Later Members**

* Longbow - As an former ally of the The Fox, she was invited to join the UH during their first wave of recruitment, along with fellow Team Fox member, Centurion, who declined, but maintains an open invitation.
* Shockwave II - Also recruited as a longstanding ally of the group's existing members during that first wave. Jackson had recently adopted the identity of Shockwave following his mentor's death. He would later become the group's second chair.
* Orunmila - Whilst he was not invited to join in that first wave of recruitment, Orunmila encountered the UH again following it and was extended an invitation to membership.

**International Recruitment Drive** In 2028, the members of the UH decided to greatly expand the group, in order to more represent the growing population of superheroes. Therefore they established a trial period for newer heroes from around the world in order to allow them to join the team. Several of these heroes never became official members (\*).

* Gangcheollyeog - A South Korean superhero who became a full member following the end of the trial. She would later become the group's third chair.
* Sunbird - A Mexican superhero who became a full member following the end of the trial.
* Knightfall - A British superhero who, following a period of recovery during due to his injuries from the trial, eventually became a full member.
* Riveter\* - An American superhero who was presumed dead following the trial, before returning as the supervillain, Hammerdown.
* Foresight\* - A superhero from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who was crippled during the trial period, and as such retired from superheroics, never becoming a UH member.
* Der Springer\* - A German superhero who was killed during the trial period.

**Further Expansion**

* Salam-Ui-Him - A hero formerly working for the North Korean government who defected and eventually joined the United Heroes.
* Pendragon - A former member of the Sector Z Superhuman Task Force, who was recruited, before becoming a mole on the team.
* Gauntlet - A hero whose place on the team was secured through coercion by the United States government, and was also a mole.

**Castle Rock Breakout** Following the escape of many supervillains from the Castle Rock Penitentiary Centre, the UH brought on several new members in order to deal with the greater number of enemies. This included the institution of Junior Members to the group, which involves under-21-year-old heroes receiving a part-time membership, without the voting abilities of Full Members.

* Stardust - A hero who aided the UH in re-capturing some of the escapees before becoming a junior member.
* Thor Man - An incredibly powerful young hero who was brought on as a junior member, partially to help with supervillain recapture, but also to prevent he, himself from being a danger to others.
* Electric Blue - A hero who had previously been a reserve member of the team, who gained full membership during this time.
* Farcry - A genetic experiment who was sent to kill the UH, before being captured, reformed, and granted junior membership to the team.
* Trese - A sorcerer who was brought in to aid the UH in the re-capture of her brother, one of the Castle Rock escapees, before being granted an accelerated full membership to the team, under the pressing circumstances.

**Re-Building the Team Following the War of the Gods**

* Wolf - A longtime member of Team Fox, who, though still too young to become a full member of the UH, believed he was ready to join, and so became a junior member of the team.
* Smasher - The daughter of founding member Titan, who was now semi-retired, and so allowed her to become a junior member in order to continue her training.
