History of Superheroes!

The Freedom Force!
Formed in 1980, the Freedom Force is the world’s pre-eminent superhero team, comprised of Earth’s mightiest heroes. They battled the deadliest supervillains known to mankind!
The Freedom Force went missing during the alien S’korian Empire’s invasion of Earth. The FF launched a counter-attack against the invasion fleet and their leader, the evil, galactic, time-controlling celestial, Eon. Their efforts must have succeeded; the alien ships left the solar system a year ago. Earth is back to normal, but the FF is nowhere to be found!

The Liberty League's Current Whereabouts:
The Liberty League was disbanded in the 1950’s, when the McCarthy Hearings suggested that their secret identities were suspiciously clandestine (what are they hiding?!) and therefore un-American. Since then, their existence was papered over by historians. Today, most people have no memory of the Liberty Legion. In fact, all superheroes had disappeared until the 1980 formation of the Freedom Force!
