HistoryIn 1959, Max O' Millions brought together a group of fellow heroes to combat the Legions of Midnight. The group decided to stay together as Honor Guard. At the time, most people weren't sure if the group would stay together very long. Shortly afterwards, the team allied with the Bouncing Beatnik and the Old Soldier to prevent Shirak the Devourer's worshipers from establishing a portal through which their master could invade our dimension("The Scoop"). Their first big clash with Pyramid happened a few weeks after that, when the organization tried to capture NASA's first team of astronauts that constituted the Mercury project. 1973 proved to be one of the toughest years for the group as events conspired and lead to the lose of two of their members. The infamous tragedy leading up to the death of the Silver Agent was painful, but not as much as the the ploy of El Hombre. Hiring the Assemblyman to help create a robot that would attack Los Angeles, El Hombre set in motion a scheme where he would arrive to defeat the robot in a staged combat. But the Assemblyman double crossed the deceptive plot by programming the robot to overcome el Hombre and continue a destructive and deadly rampage. Eventually, Honor Guard arrived and overpowered the robot. Easily tracking everything back to the Assemblyman, they soon discovered El Hombre's involvement in setting up the plot. El Hombre was now tarnished as a hero, never returning to face public ridicule and scorn. His action was one among many that set the stage for the turbulent times awaiting all the meta-heroes during the dark age of Astro City's history. It was only a few weeks later that many of the team members, past and present, aided in the defense of Astro City against the hordes of minions serving Madame Majestrix's grand invasion of North America. In that same time frame, adding to the dark mood of the times, one of their most illustrious teammate, the Silver Agent, was executed for his alleged criminal act of assassinating a foreign diplomat. On May 3, 1982, a date that the Silver Agent told Honor Guard to meet him at the Falls on his previous time jump during the 1977 Gang War, the Agent did indeed show up. He warned of a grave danger that ended up being the Rise of Kerresh the Devastator in which Honor Guard played a major role in trying to stop alongside the First Family and the Omega Rangers.  By 1995, the team's main roster consisted of the Black Rapier, Samaritan, Quarrel, MPH, the modern day Cleopatra, the N-Forcer, and Beautie. This line-up would remain stable for many years to come. 1997 saw the Enelsian Invasion in which Honor Guard played a major role in repelling the invading aliens. Even while the public at large was displaying a near paranoid distrust of the superhero community and the government had the group's headquarters cordoned off, the heroes never gave up on the world. With the brunt of the Enelsians attack on Astro City, most of the group were positioned there alongside the city's other heroes. Working together, the group staved off the attack and with the help of Augustus Furst, the heroes went on the offensive driving away the aliens. By 2013, Winged Victory, the Gentleman, and Wolfspider had joined. That year, the team thwarted Lord Volcanus's take-over attempt on the surface world and fought Kroseth the Invader. ("Welcome to HumanoGlobal") Joined by the Assemblyman, they also laid siege to the Skullcrushers' hidden HQ in Ecuador. Members were finally able to get inside when the Assemblyman created a portal by homing in on the ID badge of Honor Guard employee Marella Cowper, who was within. ("Mistakes") EquipmentRepli-Matrix: A crystal seized from Tritonian slavers early in Honor Guard's career. The device possesses replication powers of some sort, and Honor Guard regularly used it for reconstruction purposes after super-battles. Some time prior to late 2001, the alien conqueror Kroseth IV of Antares merged his essence with the Repli-Matrix. Though he then escaped the device the next time it was used, it is unknown whether Honor Guard has permanently retired the crystal in light of these events. Honor Guard HeadquartersWhile originally based in Astro City, as the group became more and more involved with global and other worldly endeavors, the team moved its base of operations to a floating headquarters. Honor Guard's Headquarters is a cloaked flying base that is usually located somewhere over the American Midwest. It is invisible from the ground and too most aircraft. It brims with advanced technologies, including cloaking technology, shielded armor made of high density, heavily reinforced alloyed metals including it's sensors which make sure that it moves out of the way of any other aircraft. The Techsperts managed to break into once, but security upgrades were made and the former supervillain Steeljack has been the only person or group that has managed to since then. It contains a meeting room, as well as a trophy room featuring memorabilia and trinkets from past cases and adventures. There is a technology center(complete with an extraterrestrial-alien detector) and other areas necessary for controlling and maintaining this all important headquarters.
