Description

Erupting on the scene six years ago, the armored Superhero group know today as the "Advance Guard" was known then as the "Power Patrol". A few months after they arrived on the scene they were involved in the infamous "Night of Blood" incident, during which their team member called the "Pink Patroller" was captured by Crusher and then publicly killed and unmasked. No one recognized the girl they revealed, and a few moments later, her body mysteriously teleported away, removing any evidence of the crime. Despite numerous witnesses in the public, Crusher was never charged for the crime as no body was ever recovered and the alleged victim could not be identified. The Power Patrol disappeared for a few months after that night, only to resurface later as the "Power Guard", complete with a new "Pink Guardian". At the time, there was another super group operating in the area known as the "Power Crew" so the Guard changed their name during a public press conference, taking the name "Advance Guard" which they have used for the last five years. Presently it is believed by watchers, that there are at least eight Guardians, not seen in this image are the White, Yellow and Black Guardians, but they have all been seen in the recent past.

Over the years, the members of the group have obviously changed, photo analysis reveals that numerous different women have worn the armored suits, but so far there is absolutely not one smidge of evidence leading to the origin and identity of these women. It is assumed their suits make them tougher, faster and stronger, but not substantially so. Rather most observers believe that the reason this group is so successful if their amazing teamwork and team tactics. After the "Night of Blood", they have made it a point that no one works alone and there are always three to five Guardians appearing at the same time. When preparing for battle, they perform strange synchronized kata's while reciting seemingly nonsensical chants in unison. When they attack, it is a coordinated process involving gymnastics, martial arts and combined attacks as can be seen above with the Orange Guardian giving the Pink Guardian a hand launch to deliver a flying super punch. 

Crusher and Creep are their most frequent foes. These two thugs are rumored to be the agents of an extraterrestrial warlord set on eventual world conquest. They usually teleport away if defeated, or sometimes after they are in prison, only to return to plague the Advance Guard yet again. Interestingly, whenever and wherever Crusher and Creep appear, the Advance Guard respond and arrive almost immediately.  

The Advance Guard are part of a continuing study into the Smalltown Superheroes concept. It is assumed that there are multiple sources and causes of superpowers localized to Mountain Valley, our fictional small town somewhere (anywhere) in the USA, at least several hours from the nearest "Big City".
