Team 7, a secret military unit, gets screwed over by International Operations, the organization they work for, and are exposed to an unknown biological agent.

Before they were Grifter, Backlash, Dane, Lynch, and Deathblow, these heroes of the Wildstorm Universe were part of International Operations’ elite military force called Team 7. But when the team is sent on a mission that turns out to suicide, they quickly find out why they’re the 7 team. But instead of dying, they become endowed with extraordinary powers. And to make matters worse, I.O. knew it would happen.
