WORLD WITHOUT A RENEGADE

This is an alternate timeline created when Peter Wilde, with help from technology provided by Aeon, attempted to erase his hated enemy Renegade by tampering with the body of Renegade's recently murdered "temporal twin" Zodiak. A result of the scheme is a timeline where instead of the New Enforcers of Justice emerging to become the heroes of Superior City it is a different hero team that winds up forming and the recent history of the city and its super heroes is changed.

HISTORY

In the new timeline the events diverge when Death Spider and Aranaea incapacitate most of Justice Inc. and Death Spider engages his alleged past self, Tarantula, in single combat. Death Spider knocks Tarantula unconscious and dumps him into the East River. Without his alternate future self, the man who would become Zodiak, present to save them Tarantula drowns and Arachnia is tortured and killed. Their bodies are found by Justice Inc. several hours later.

Without Zodiak to save her with his newfound mystic powers, Felicia Albrecht dies at the hands of a mad Native shaman and Cat's link to the Earth plane vanishes with her. With Cat gone Nemesis severs all ties he has with the Earth and his former teammates.

Death Spider resurfaces trying to disrupt ArcAngel's wedding to Paladin. Death Spider escapes but is soon hunted down by the combined teams of Justice Inc. and a newly reformed Justice Society of America.

ArcAngel rescues an amnesiac Marie Ste. Claire from Silver Path chevals. They follow the trail of the Silver Path to Superior City and they destroy the group's operations there. Marie stays in Superior City and starts working with S.T.A.R. Labs to unravel the secrets of her cybernetics and to try and recover her memories. ArcAngel offers to stay until Marie gets back on her feet. Without the presence of Renegade and Solitaire, young Alicia "Orchid" Uchida does not meet up with the heroes.

The hero named Flashback arrives in Superior City and enlists ArcAngel's help in finding his missing teammate and lover, Tazer. Flashback disappears shortly thereafter, at the same time that Paladin is apparently killed. ArcAngel and Mystère investigate the disappearance

The alien Mercy appears in Superior City but keeps her presence hidden from anyone who might identify her as being from Nemesis' race.

Knight 2146 appears from the distant future on an errand to find ArcAngel and Paladin. When the futuristic Hourman Virus threatens Cyberspace the Loa restore Marie's memories and ask for help. Knight 2146 and his advanced A.I. computer Progeny help ArcAngel and Mystère battle the insidious virus in the global computer system. The Knight then returns to the future.

Ultra-Humanite generates a strange "Globe of Darkness" that encompasses Superior City and threatens to cover the whole planet. ArcAngel manages to call in her former teammates in Justice Inc. for help before she mysteriously disappears. Mystère and Justice Inc. are helped by the hero formerly called Patriot who has begun calling himself Adventurer. They are soon rejoined by ArcAngel and defeat the Ultra-Humanite. Mindblade, the leader of Justice Inc., suggests forming a west-coast branch of the team based in Superior City. ArcAngel agrees and Justice Inc. West is created. ArcAngel, Mystère, and Adventurer are soon joined by Mindblade's sister Sarah, who calls herself by her brother's old code-name of Psi-Shadow, and by Trevor "Night Flick" Hathaway, who is now powerless and serves as a liaison officer between the two teams.

Renegade was eventually able to right the timeline with the help of the time-traveling android Hourman from the 853rd century and the alternate timeline of Justice Inc. West was apparently erased.

JUSTICE INC. WEST

Justice Inc. is a major super-hero team known worldwide. ArcAngel, a former member of Justice Inc. helped form the West Coast branch. Justice Inc. is well respected in the super-hero and law-enforcement communities and is well-liked amongst the public as well. This holds true for the West Coast group. There is a friendly rivalry between the two groups, but it never interferes with business. The West Coast team has access to all the team resources including the AI computer named Pandora, a jet transport that can enter Earth orbit, and a vast array of contacts and associates in the super-hero and scientific community.

The membership of Justice Inc. West currently consists of:

The team also has several close associates...

The team has a public headquarters on the waterfront in downtown Superior City. Its location is well-known but there is a lot of security around it. A favorite hangout of the team (in costume) is Warriors, sort of combination pub/theme-restaurant with super-hero memorabilia. It is run by an old man in a wheelchair named Cooper MacBride.

Several other heroes connected with the New Enforcers of Justice in the original timeline have different lives in this one.
