Right from his first days as the Ikon Man.Tony Siark was doggcd by industrial espionagc agent, the Spymaster. Initially working with a team of assistants known as the Espionagc Elito, Spymaster madę rcpcated effbrts to obtain Stark Industries’seerets. Each time he was thwarted. cach time he cscapcd. and each time he sought and found a new etnployer. Zodiac,

SI HELI), and Madame Mas<>ul all employed Spymaster but it was Stark s archfoe Justin Hammer who benefited most. Shortly bcforc Spymastcr*s death at the hands of rival spy the Ghost, he had obtained sonie old Iron Man blueprints. The Guardsmcn built froin these were to dog Stark s lifc for months. AD

The Squadron Supremę is a force of superhuman champions inhabiting the Earth of an altcrnate reality. They have crossed paths with the Av»>n<;krs many times, including an carly team-up to cradicate the evil influence of the serpent-god Sets Serpent Crown.

The Squadron Supreme facet! their greatest challenge when the Overmind and Nuli the Łiyińg Darkuess conijuered their planet. Hyperion escaped to mainstream Earth and reeruited the Dłi endkrs, who suććessfiilly defcated the Overmind. The damage to their worki from the Overmind war was so great that the Squadron Supreme implemented the Utopia Program, seizing coiurol of the government and forcibly implcmenting new methods of policing and social engineering. Nichtiiawk left the Squadron in protest, and organized the Kedeemers to act as a rcbel insurgency. The Redeemcrs forcetl the Squadions surrender, and the two groups dismantled the Utopia Program. The Squadron Supreme later became marooned on mainstream Earth, where they adwntured alongside Quasar.

The Squadron has now successftilly libcrated their own world from the grip of variou$ monolithic corporations who were seeking to gain control of the planet. DW
