IThe story so far...<br />
Aric of Dacia -- a Visigoth warrior from<br />
the 5th Century -- was kidnapped and<br />
enslaved by a merciless, empire-building<br />
alien race known as the Vine. For years,<br />
the Vine tortured Aric, until the Visigoth<br />
led a bloody slave revolt against the<br />
creatures. Aric stole the Vine’s most<br />
sacred relic -- a sentient armor known<br />
as the Manowar -- and used it to escape<br />
their clutches.<br />
Arriving back on Earth, Aric sought out<br />
his wife and family, only to discover that<br />
nearly two centuries had passed due to<br />
time displacement. After much difficulty,<br />
Aric became an unlikely hero on Earth,<br />
becoming a member of the super team<br />
Unity, and working for the U.S. Government.<br />
Recently, however, a new threat<br />
emerged. From the farthest reaches of<br />
space, an elite squadron known as the<br />
Armor Hunters has come to Earth with one<br />
goal in mind: to find and destroy the X-O<br />
Manowar armor.<br />
The Hunters contacted Aric and his<br />
government handler, Colonel Capshaw,<br />
demanding they relinquish it. When<br />
Capshaw refused, the Hunters -- in the<br />
blink of an eye -- destroyed Mexico City,<br />
killing millions.<br />
That was only the beginning. The Armor<br />
Hunters released deadly alien hounds,<br />
which wreaked havoc and mercilessly<br />
took lives across the globe. In the fog of<br />
war, one of the hunters, Lilt, was able to<br />
gain access to Capshaw’s base in Utah<br />
-- known as M.E.R.O. -- and led a merciless<br />
assault with only the technologically<br />
infused soldier known as Bloodshot to<br />
stop him.<br />
As the casualties continued to mount,<br />
Livewire attempted a desperate gambit<br />
and tricked the Armor Hunters into letting<br />
her onboard their giant robotic space<br />
shuttle GIN-GR. Once aboard, Livewire<br />
used her technopathic powers to throttle<br />
GIN-GR to Earth, crashing into Los Angeles.<br />
Now, Earth’s heroes must make one last<br />
stand to save their planet from the power<br />
of the Armor Hunters!
