History

The Wrecking Crew were a team of humans that were linked to the supervillain known as the Wrecker.

Harrow decided to test the Power Dampener against the Avengers where he modified it so that the supervillains would be immune to its effects. This allowed the Wrecking Crew to ambush the New Avengers were crippled by the effects of the device. (New Avengers v1 #56) This was used by Jonas Harrow as a demonstration to Norman Osborn as the gang of allied supervillains wanted whatever deal he had made with the Hood. When Norman refused, Harrow turned the Power Dampener against the Dark Avengers stripping them of their power and leaving them powerless against the Wrecking Crew. (New Avengers v1 #57)
