DISTANT SONS (1995-1996)

Every super-team in the '90s needed their Wolverine - a maverick character with a mystery past. And if one wasn't available to suck into your line-up, you had to invent one. Century filled that position in Iron Man's Force Works team, but he wasn't the kind of guy a teenage reader wanted to aspire to. But who was this mystery alien and why should we care?

Force Works #15
USAgent returns to Force Works' HQ - the Works - to discover alien invaders have shut the entire base down and placed the team in portable cryo-chambers. Century teleports USAgent to a chamber below the Works none of them knew existed, discovering Iron Man has been ordering in tech from Timely, Wisconsin. Century reveals their enemy is the Broker, his former owner. USAgent tricks the Broker and Century cuts his hand off, freeing his other slaves. Century agrees to return the other aliens to their home planets, heading into space in the hope of learning about his past...

Force Works #16
In space, Century continues his journey with the Broker's former-slaves, trying to stop them from killing the Broker as they go and continuing to search out the secrets of his own past. On Earth, Spider-Woman trains with new team-mate and love-interest, Moonraker. USAgent tells the Scarlet Witch about the secret room and strange technology he found below The Works and wonders if Iron Man's up to no good.
Century: Distant Sons #1
The Broker convinces his former slaves to betray Century and take him to the moon that used to circle his home planet Hodomur until it was destroyed by a world-devouring creature called Lore. The remnants of Century's people turned Century into a being capable of destroying Lore, but he was captured by the alien Scatter and used by them to raid what was left of the worlds Lore had ravaged. 

The Broker sells Century to Imogen who uses his dimension-hopping powers to take her to Azimuth's stronghold to steal an artefact called the Crucible. Azimuth is about to reveal more of Century's past to him when Imogen magically assaults her, wiping her mind. The Broker tries to steal the Crucible from Imogen, but Century beheads him. Imogen escapes with the Crucible. The freed slaves agree to band together, while Century decides Earth is now his home and he wants to go back...

MYS-TECH WARS (1993)

Everyone knows corporations are evil. Every single one of them. Mys-Tech are no exception. Especially as their board made a deal with Mephisto for power and immortality in exchange for the funnelling of souls straight into his dimension way back in 987AD. The deal's done alright for them over the years, but now they want out... In recent weeks, the London-based chemical company has made a number of super-powered enemies whose origins tie directly into their own magickal activities. Now all of those new foes - from the UK-based Dark Ange l, Motormouth , Killpower and the Knights of Pendragon to the time-travelling Death's Head - are about to come after them all at once. And they're bringing the Avengers , X-Men and more! Mys-Tech are growing a perfect replica of the real planet Earth called the UnEarth. Once it's fully-grown, they'll tinker with it to suit their needs and replace the original with a world they control. Marvel UK's line of titles didn't ...

DEADLY KNIGHTS (1994)

The first Marvel / DC crossover since Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans #1 , twelve years earlier. This time around we meet the Punisher ( Frank Castle ) of Earth-7642 as his war on crime brings him to Gotham City . His hunt for Jigsaw will attract the attention of Batman ( John-Paul Valley , formerly known as Azrael ). He returns to Gotham sometime later and clashed with the original Batman ( Bruce Wayne ) and the infamous Joker . This return to Earth-7642 (Marvel's crossover universe - where continuity is essentially the same, but the crossover stories don't effect the mainstream universe) heralded a slew of Marvel/DC crossovers set outside of regular continuity (for Marvel, at least) until both mainstream universe literally clashed in MARVEL VERSUS DC a year later. There are some truly odd story-telling choices in this one. I had to double-check it was written by Denny O'Neil . The Punisher of Earth-7642 is much the same as his Earth-616 counterpart, but emba...
