Hero Hunters 2024 Part 1: The Reign of X-Eye

In an alternate timeline, in an alternate universe, the United States of America became an empire in the year 2011. After the sinister supervillain and billionaire Henry Q., a.k.a. X-Eye, bought out the United States government after the county had acquired a large amount of debt in the previous years. Now X-Eye is the emperor of the U.S. Empire. X-Eye now has a cult of personality and rules the U.S. Empire with an iron fist. The U.S. Empire is currently struggling as they try to conquer the rest of the world to expand into the empire. With U.S. Empire failing in their quest to defeat other countries in a current world war, along with the subjects of the U.S. Empire becoming very unhappy and near rebellious. Mostly because Henry Q. (X-Eye), before becoming emperor, owned the largest weapons and electronics corporation in the country. When X-Eye became emperor though he didn’t allow competition in his empire and outlawed imports which made his company a monopoly in that space and with X-Eye acquiring every corporation in the U.S. Empire now every business in the country is owned by the empire. Now, nearly half of the subjects in X-Eye’s empire either work for him or the other half are unemployed. X-Eye needed a scapegoat and needed one quick to prevent a rebellion. X-Eye figured out who to blame for his empire’s troubles, he blamed superhumans. Using propaganda, X-Eye overnight made people fear and angry at superhumans. Now, with X-Eye’s subjects wanting his safety and protection, X-Eye created a new military task force just to depose of superhumans. 

This new military task force is called The Hero Hunters and is led by X-Eye’s second-in-command, General J. General J. was a general in the United States army before it became an empire and has decades of military experience. And thanks to X-Eye, General J. has new battle armor that gives him superhuman strength, the power of flight, and a laser sword. Members of The Hero Hunters include Max Storm is a former monster hunter and is trained in martial arts. The Skull Slasher is a notorious serial killer whose head got burnt in a terrible accident which caused all the skin on his head to melt with only his skull remaining intact. The Skull Slasher has close ties to Max Storm, but he’s a wild card. Lester BarnSwallow is the former police chief of Action City and a former heavyweight boxer. Lester had to resign from the police force after a scandal, but luckily, he had connections in the U.S. Empire, and since he has experience in dealing with superhumans, he was more than qualified to join The Hero Hunters. Mike and Rick Red are two buff twin brothers who used to host a monster hunting reality show and were rivals of Max Storm. Exclamation Point is a skilled ninja and assassin who is obsessed with exclamation points. Exclamation Point’s weapons are shaped like exclamation points, and he wears a black mask with a huge white exclamation point on it. Lastly, the final member is Night Watch. Night Watch is a former spy turned supervillain cyborg who survived a horrible explosion after he was experimented on, Night Watch must wear a special helmet that helps him breathe and is forever trapped in a suit of black armor. Night Watch’s only companion is his pet owl, Oliver. Night Watch is a supervillain, but desperate times call for desperate measures, so he had to join The Hero Hunters, or else he would have been sent to the superhuman death camps. Flash forward to the year 2024, nearly half of the superhuman population have been slaughtered by either the Hero Hunters or the U.S. Empire military. With the rest being held in death camps or are in hiding. Unbeknownst to the other Hero Hunter members, X-Eye, General J., and supervillain/mad scientist Dr. Hurt are working on a top-secret project to create the perfect Hero Hunter member. And this perfect Hero Hunter member’s name is….Xane the Exterminator! Now that you know the origin of The Hero Hunters, it’s time to see them in action!
