[edit] History

Team One was formed in the 1960's through the secret efforts of Lord Emp, then called Saul Baxter. For nearly 50 years Daemonite activity had been non-existent, but a sudden flurry of attacks aimed at US military bases worried Baxter that a new offensive was coming. Using his influence within the Military-Industrial Complex, he arranged for the formation of a team to handle the oncoming threat. Enter Miles Craven. As head of the newly formed International Operations he was chosen to act as the visible head of the team, Baxter's true level of involvement was to remain a secret.

Through a combination of Baxter's influence and contacts among the Kherubim, and Craven's involvement with a number of secret military projects, the team was created and dubbed Team One.

On their first mission the group was mobilized to deal with the takeover of a nuclear missile silo by the combined forces of the superpowered crime lord "Slaughterhouse" Smith and Helspont. The duo had intended to hold the country for ransom, threatening to launch the missiles if they weren't paid on time. Helspont, however, had other plans. He quickly double crossed Smith and was preparing to launch the missiles at New York when Team One arrived on the scene.

While the exact details of the battles climax are unknown, the outcome is known. Mason, Regiment and John Colt were reportedly Killed in Action, Majestic would begin his apparent sabbatical at the North Pole, and Team One was disbanded.
