Honor Guard
The world's elite team of superheroes. Over the years the membership of Honor Guard has changed in response to various needs and goals. Among them, team power balance, personal choices, retirement, and various conflicts. But the team endures, building a firm, proud reputations. The standard bearers for heroic achievements.
History
In 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 the team wouldn't last very long.
Shortly afterward, the team allied with the Bouncing Beatnik and the Old Soldier to prevent Shirak the Devourer's worshipers from freeing their master in our dimension. ("The Scoop").
By 1995, the team's roster consisted of the Black Rapier, Samaritan, the second Quarrel, MPH, the second Cleopatra, the N-Forcer, and Beautie, a line-up that would remain stable for many years to come.
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")

Mr. Smartie Notes:
- before the crash, we were working on a special honor guard display table. A visual construct for showing the team lineups changes over the year. Would like to get that back into play.
- can probably group design it with the Rogues Gallery Display Box
