History
It was claimed that the armors were forged eons ago before the rise of the human race. In ages past, there existed numerous Raptors that were known to had watched over the universe. They were considered a tradition that predated that of the Nova Corps. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
Overview
Raptors considered themselves catalysts of change and architects of fate. As such, they considered the likes of the Nova Corps a minor guardian of order at best. A single one was considered more precious than a Nova Centurion and were formidable warriors. However, a Raptors strength did not lie in their weapons but rather their insight and guile that allowed them to sculpt history. This included the use of such tactics as assassinations and kidnappings. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
The standard armor configuration was capable of being altered by the Raptor in order to take into account new enemies with the armor being summoned from the null source. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
Among their configurations of their armor included:
- Fullcombat Mode : retaining the standard form but with more firepower. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
- Warflight Mode : a much more powerful and aggressive armored form able to deal with multiple powerful enemies. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
Members
- Razor : the amulet malfunctioned and bonded with Christopher Powell who became the superhero Darkhawk who only learnt of his true nature during the War of Kings (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
- Talon : took possession of the dying Skrull Grand Commander H'Jke Jeeku who was left badly wounded by the Inhumans after which the Raptor attempted to resume the Fraternity's schemes. (War of Kings: Ascension v1 #1)
Notes
- The Fraternity of Raptors were created by C.B. Cebulski, Harvey Talibao and Bong Dazo where they made their first appearance in War of Kings: Darkhawk v1 #1 (April, 2009).
