The Empire City Guard is a superhero organization located in New York City. They've got nine members and one honorary member (as of December 2006). They keep telling Mega-Girl to go home.
Equipment[]
The Guard's headquarters is the Emerald Tower, a skyscraper decked out in emerald glass at 43th St with 6th Avenue (just a block from Times Square, and across the street from the Bank of America Tower.)[1]
They've got an airborn vehicle called the "War Wagon".[2]
History[]
In 2004:
- Dr. Emil Hammond had been captured in the early spring by the Empire City Guard, who had gotten some sort of tip about Hammond’s location. He allegedly had five mutants guarding him. The battle between those five mutants and the Empire City Guard leveled nearly twenty blocks in Queens, and the fire department had needed three days before they were sure that all the fires were out.[3]
Origin[]
The guard was formed by Quarterhorse, Tornado, Plus and Minus, together with several other local superheros. It was apparently formed in response to a major threat, and then dealt with a monster in the harbor. They stopped Mimeo and sent him to the just founded Whateley Academy.[4]
