A former downtrodden housewife with anger issues, a mercenary with psychotic tendencies, a cocky British punk, an egomaniac, and a guy who runs a takeout.

This bunch of misfits may not sound like the ideal ingredients for a team, but The White House’s Joe Cyborg wants them!

Co-creator Sam Johnson said in a release:

The Almighties were an eclectic super-team brought together by a dubious character called White Out to take on ‘threats to America’. However, thanks to an intervention from President Obama, it was revealed that White Out was in fact a Neo Nazi, playing the team for his own agenda. The Almighties promptly turned the tables on Whitey – bringing him down, along with his werewolf butler Chives and robot Hitler the Adolf 3000.

This has brought them to the attention of one of The White House’s more mysterious operatives – Joe Cyborg. Joe’s looking to put together his own secret strike force and has called in former Almighties member/Barack Obama aide/kabob shop owner Stefanos to review its would-be members with him.

Despite their…‘quirks’…what The Almighties have shown is that they can work well as a team… and also be manipulated. We don’t know much about Joe Cyborg, but where he and Stefanos meet up isn’t The White House – it’s a swamp. Does this mean Joe can’t be trusted? Well, whatever Joe’s agenda is, at least the team are going to be in better hands than a Neo Nazi, right?

Right…?
