Mary Marvel, sister of famed hero Captain Marvel. Andraste, daughter of the Martian Manhunter, and Staci the She-Hulk a young girl originally created to be a weapon with the DNA from Dr. Bruce Banner.
They were soon joined by Adrasteia the Kentauride, a centaur who spent most of her life in the household of Queen Hippolyta of Therymscira.
Along with gamemaster characters White Tiger (Prince Shuri of Wakana), Power Man (Carl Cage, son of Luke and Jessica Cage), Scarlet Spider (Miles Morales), Polaris (Lorna Dane, daughter of Magneto) and X-Man (Nate Grey, the mysterious psychic from the future), the students had some interesting adventures.
Their school careers were cut short by the machinations of Vice-Principal Henry Gyrich, who was discovered to be part of a rival agency known as Checkmate. For the protection of the students, Mary Marvel, Andraste, She-Hulk, and Kentauride were transferred to the Office of National Emergency's headquarters, the Triskelion on Governors Island, where they became Shield Team Gamma.
In the aftermath, Andraste left the team to join her father in the League Watchtower. The team then added Melinoe (the Greek goddess of nightmares), and Mercury (the younger non-evil version of Eobard Thawne) to its roster.
Some highlighted adventures:
- Cable, an alternate version of Nate Grey from the future, along with mercenaries Domino and Deadpool attacked Hammond High in order to kill X-Man. They failed, but they discovered that Nate was the key to some plan in the future that would result in the destruction of metahuman-kind.
- During a get-together with the Justice League in Pleasent Hills, Sinestro attacks the retirement community looking for Alan Scott and his Power Ring. Using this "First Ring", Sinestro attempts to tap some unknown power, inadvertently causing X-Man to tap into the same source, nearly dominating everyone in the community.
- The Reverse-Flash, in an attempt to turn his younger self to evil also tapped this unknown force. In the process, he became suffused with some sort of "Negative Speed Force" which separated him from Mercury's personal history but threatens to fracture the time-space continuum.
- After a staged crisis in Novigrad, Sokovia that saw Batman and Robin become international fugitives, Secretary-General Lex Luthor suspended all Justice League operations across the globe pending an inquiry.
- HYDRA made its presence known again - first by using its Mutant Liberation Front to kidnap Moira MacTaggert from Muir Island and then launching an attack on Paris to locate documents that would allow them to access "The Hyrda" the mythical founder of their order.
Realizing that the actions of Lex Luthor and the United Nations were precursors to disbanding the Justice League, Nick Fury's plan was put in place to ensure the globe had an independent super-team.
At the Watchtower a conference was established. This included both heroes and members of the security committees. In attendance were Avengers teams Alpha and Omega, the Justice League, the Fantastic Four, the Heroes of Paris, the Winter Guard, and the Great Ten as well as the directors of the O.N.E, MI13, Le Bureau Descret, K Directorate, the Ministry of Self-Reliance, and the super agent division of Mossad.
The goal was a new treaty using the existing defense pacts, creating an alliance of super teams that would effectively have international scope for their operations.
In the absence of those in attendance, Team Gamma was tasked with stepping up and protecting the United States and other treaty nations.
On March 24th, 2018 at 8:30pm, a massive antimatter explosion occurred, instantly vaporizing the Watchtower, and everyone within.
Thor's hammer somehow survived the blast and fell to Earth, where due to the actions of Mary Marvel was redirected to a safe location.
In the aftermath, Team Gamma finds itself the only organized super-hero team in the globe.
Nicely summed up:)
