History

Unity

After Aric of Dacia escapes from the clutches of the Vine aliens and returns to Earth he seeks to claim a large portion of what was formerly his home nation of Dacia, now modern day Romania. The world however, does not take lightly to the invasion of Romania. Russia in particular who share a border with Romania are primed to attack.

To prevent warfare from breaking out Toyo Harada, CEO of the Harbinger Foundation, enlists the help of the Eternal Warrior who had unsuccessfully tried to talk his old friend Aric out of his invasion. Harada plans to use his own team of powerful Psiots to take down Aric while he has assassin-for-hire Ninjak take down X-O Manowar's ship. The plan ultimately fails with the Psiots being taken down before a battle can take place and Ninjak getting captured by X-O.

Harada then turns to his former pupil, the currently exiled Livewire and begins to assemble a new team. Meanwhile, Russia launched an attack on Aric's camp in Bucharest however they are annihilated. The team attacks Aric in his spaceship which he then launches into space. Livewire uses her powers to sever the connection between Aric and the Ship, sending the ship plummeting into the ocean. Livewire manages to wear the X-O Manowar armor and rescue everybody aboard the ship leaving Harada in charge of the armor. The team realises however that Harada has ulterior motives and team up with X-O Manowar to defeat Harada.

Making good on their agreement to work together again, Ninjak gathered the team to deal with a quickly advancing threat. Livewire, now operating as an agent of MI-6 in exchange for being kept safe from Harada, went missing on a routine mission in Taiwan. Ninjak, concerned her disappearance is connected to the recent return of his enemy Doctor Silk, brought in the Eternal Warrior and X-O Manowar. Their investigations uncovered a plot by Silk to conquer the world with a mind-controlling virus, and while they were able to rescue Livewire and stop the virus at it's source, it was impossible to guarantee that the virus wouldn't activate again.

A new threat to the world came from the Armor Hunters that were teams of alien beings that sought to destroy the Armors scattered across the universe. The Armor Hunters see the X-O Armor as a plague upon the universe, and seek to exterminate them, and those who wear them. Aric refused to surrender to them, however, so they destroyed Mexico City and unleashed armies of alien hounds across the globe. Unity, leaping into action, sent the technopathic Livewire to destroy the Hunters' orbiting base GIN-GR. While she succeeded, the ship crashlanded in Los Angeles, destroying the city and unleashing the aliens into the city. Meanwhile, Ninjak and Gilad managed to contain the attacks of the Hounds. In the ruins of downtown LA, Unity and their ally Bloodshot managed to kill or detain all of the Hunters, leaving Aric to kill their leader.

After defeating the Armor Hunters the US and UK governments form the Global Agency for Threat Excision or G.A.T.E. and swiftly commandeer all the technology left by the aliens. In an attempt to avoid fear and panic G.A.T.E. takes Unity public, making Livewire the public face. While Aric is unavailable the team searches for a fourth member, ultimately recruiting former Renegade Faith Herbert Zephyr.[14] The unchecked power of Unity however doesn't sit well with some members of the international community. Several ambassadors resort to activating their own rival team of mysterious covert agents - the United. After a violent battle with The United Faith leaves the team.

When Divinity crash lands in the Australian outback with seemingly godlike power Unity attempts to make contact. Sensing their hostility Divinity warps reality around each of the Unity members and traps them in an endless loop of time. Ultimately as Divinity accepts that the family he could have had is gone Unity takes him into custody.

For centuries the Eternal Warrior had always lost protecting the Geomancers from the Immortal Enemy. In the present Bloodshot retrieves a box from a couple of Project Rising Spirit goons while Kay McHenry discuss her love life with Armstrong. Kay soon goes off to investigates a small town in Colorado when the Immortal Enemy arrives coming to take her life in the guise of Mr. Flay. An old fictional character Kay heard as a child. Soon the Eternal Warrior with the help of Colonel Capshaw and Neville Alcott assembles Unity and the rest of Valiant's heroes to confront the Immortal Enemy.
