The Gang War of 1977: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The quest for power was everywhere, with the mobs starting to really step on one another's toes. Bamboo was mainly centered in [[Fujitani Bay]], Braintrust in the [[City Center]] area, Tommy Gunn in the former Forgione territory and Joey Platypus working out of the [[Chesler|Sweatshop]]. Gunn's crew hitting one of Platypus' casinos set him off to call his friends from Chicago; [[Pyramid]].

Pyramid was the secret backer of Platypus and his top lieutenant [[The Deacon|Deke MacManus]] in Astro City. They decided to sent help in the form of [[Jitterjack]] the Divided Man, a superpowered killing machine.

By January 1977, the war was in full swing, with all the powers going after one another. The rise of the darker vigilantes in Astro City helped the fighting roll right along. [[Hellhound]] had a vendetta against Braintrust and helped to wreck his network. The [[Jade Dragons]] were out to avenge their father's death. [[Energy Brown]] and [[Black Velvet]] had it out for the men responsible for turning them into the super-powered beings they were.

Black Velvet, was particularly nasty, using her darkness powers to one by one gain revenge on the men who transformed her. She even turned the [[Street Angel]] into a hardened vigilante who used excessive force.

And when Jitterjack finally arrived, he proved his worth for Joey Platypus, decimating and killing whole squads of rival gangs and helping to intensify the fighting of the others.
