Founding & Early Years
Too Strange was first formed in 1990 by Lionel Rathlyn. Originally much smaller in size, the group was formed for the purpose of protecting diamond mines belonging to Rathlyn in Africa. The first members were noteworthy villains whom Rathlyn broke out of prisons throughout the world. The group proved greatly effective, beyond expectations, and were eventually given greater jobs than "property guards", such as guarding Rathlyn and his associates. They were also leased to various criminal organizations, governments, warlords, and political figures for various reasons, often ones involving violence, blood, bullets and intimidation.

Clash with H.A.L.E.
Following numerous incidents involving TS, most centered around civilian casualties, refusal to accept blame and pay for damages, H.A.L.E. forces, lead by Morgan Benson, launched an assault on the group at Rathlyn's compound in Rabandwa in 1998. The conflict lasted three days and claimed the lives of Rathlyn, half the members of the group, many H.A.L.E. operatives and the compound was destroyed. The remaining members of Strange fled the country, evading capture from H.A.L.E.

Too Strange
The surviving members of the group remained together, establishing themselves as a mercenary company called Too Strange. They took jobs and assignments similar to what they had taken before and grew in size, eventually reaching two dozen members.

Bagwen Calls
In the year 2007, Luther Bagwen (concealing his identity from the group) contracted the group to invade and take control of the island portion of Terryf City. He offered them $100,000,000 to do so and a further $100,000,000 to hold the island for three weeks.

Taking Terryf City
Beginning in the early hours of the day, Soldier Joe, Warshock, Old Man Destroyer, Cutdown, Zombie Billy, Losstop, Wild West, Stampede, Big Knife Red, Tatty C, Chainwire, Asian Hybrid Serpent, Bright Eyes, Big Man Strong, Mask Master, Major Poison, Killer Tiger and Plum invaded and swiftly took control of the island portion of the city. They suppressed the local authorities and unruly citizens, before allowing all of the cities inhabitants to leave. The evacuation spanned two days and all citizens were pulled from the city. Many resisted leaving but were forced out by Too Strange.

Military Take-Back Attempts
The military launched several attempts to retake the island, by way of water, land and air. Each attempt failed and the mainland portion of the city was evacuated for the public's safety.

Fighting Thwart
Mask Master was the first to confront the members of Thwart: Mason Trent, Hunter Gold, Boomer, Grimdoline, Mantis, Alpha Werewolf, Golem, Lady Highwing, Push-Push and Mover. Though he outnumbered the team with his 'masked warriors', Master was forced to retreat.

Master informed the rest of the group of Thwart and gathered a portion of T.S. to confront them: Soldier Joe, Warshock, Bright Eyes,Cutdown, Big Knife Red, and Plum. Though the fight began against Master's warriors, Mask's team arrived soon after and the fighting became very individualized: Mason/Soldier Joe, Hunter/Warshock, Grimdoline/Cutdown, Mantis/Plum, Golem/Bright Eyes, Boomer/Big Knife Red and Alpha, Mover, Push and Highwing fighting Mask Master.

The fight reaches a stalemate and Too Strange decides to retreat.

Latter at night, Too Strange attacks yet again, this time with Zombie Billy, Losstop, Paleface, Reach, Tatty C and Asian Hybrid Serpent. As it did before, the fighting became individualized: Golem/Zombie Billy, Push-Push/Losstop, Highwing/Wild West, Mover/Chainwire, Boomer & Mantis/Tatty C and Mason & Hunter/Asian Hybrid Serpent. Once again Too Strange decided to retreat after putting up a violent fight.

The next morning, Killer Tiger ambushes Lady Highwing, while Stampede attacks the others. Alpha eventually arrives and saves Highwing from Tiger, who retreats. Alpha runs to help the others with Stampede. Stampede is forced to retreat as he is outnumbered.

Destroyer makes its way towards the city. Big Man Strong jumps from Destroyer and swims towards the island, rising from the water as a giant, standing 30 feet tall. He makes his way into the city and confronts the team. They fight him but he proves very challenging. Ultimately Push manages to build up enough power to deliver a blast of force powerful enough to knock Strong off his feet, into a building and into unconsciousness.

In the water, Destroyer rises into the air, higher than the tallest buildings. The airborne warship leans towards the side, aiming its guns and cannons towards the city. Destroyer unloads upon the city, spraying it with huge amounts of ammunition, causing major damage.

Destroyer is eventually forced to track and target the enemy as they split up. The ship is boarded by Boomer and Hunter and slowly armed with numerous explosive plasma balls. Destroyer is blown out of the air and falls to the grounds, crashing through several buildings before lodging in a skyscraper. The remaining members of Too Strange confront Thwart as the latter gather and cheer.

Fighting takes place throughout the city, with opponents changing consistently. Eventually the fights become more isolated and further apart than one another: Grimdoline/Cutdown & Losstop, Alpha/Killer Tiger & Stampede & AHS, Boomer/Mask Master, Mantis/Plum & Major Poison, Golem/Zombie Billy & Big Knife Red, Hunter/ Tatty C & Bright Eyes, Mason/Soldier Joe & Warshock, Highwing/Wild West& Chainwire and Push & Mover/Big Man Strong. One by one, the group is bested by their opponents. Soldier Joe is killed in the process. In an act of desperation, Too Strange member Wrath is unleashed. He proves the most powerful and devastating, destroying a large portion of the city in his attempt to kill Thwart. He is eventually subdued by the team fails to kill him, instead restricting him.

The group is apprehended one by one and taken away by Bagwen and his men.

After the Battle
The surviving members of Too Strange were imprisoned in Tombooney Heights by Luther Bagwen, the owner of the prison, who kept his role as their "employer" secret from them.

History
Alpha Youth Force Program

Thwart's origins can be traced back to the Alpha Youth Force Program, founded by Dr. Garryson Wobane, a geneticist, in 1988. AYFP was Wobane's attempt at developing a superhuman special forces team to eventually be loaned out or possibly even sold to the highest bidder. Wobane injected a special serum into dozens of children with the hope of developing "'superhumans', whom he would then raise and train. Though he was successful at creating ten such children, his plans were derailed when the compound he carried out his project in mysteriously caught fire and burnt to the ground. The ten children survived the fire but were separated from one another following their escape.

Gathering

Many years past by before one by one, nine of the children, now adults, were tracked down and apprehended by Luther Bagwen and the tenth child, Mason Trent.

Battle of Terryf City

The ten individuals were brought together by Bagwen as part of his plan to free Terryf City from the control of the mercenary company Too Strange, who had invaded the city, forced it's citizens out and fought off the local authorities and military personnel. Bagwen's solution for retaking the city was simple: fight superhumans with superhumans. Few of the individuals were immediately accepting towards the mission and as such some had to be brought, while others had to be threatened.

With all ten fully informed of the situation and TS, the team were outfitted, equipped and dropped in from high air into the city. Almost immediately the group were confronted by TS member Mask Master and his 'masked warriors', though they managed to fight him off.

They were latter attacked by Mask once again, this time accompanied by Soldier Joe, Warshock, Bright Eyes, Cutdown, Big Knife Red, and Plum. Though the fight began against Master's warriors, Mask's team arrived as backup and the fighting became very individualized: Mason/Soldier Joe, Hunter/Warshock, Grimdoline/Cutdown, Mantis/Plum, Golem/Bright Eyes, Boomer/Big Knife Red and Alpha, Mover, Push and Highwing fighting Mask Master. The fight reaches a stalemate and 2D2S decides to retreat.

Latter at night, the group is attacked yet again, but this time by other members of TS, and like before the fights become individualized: Golem/Zombie Billy, Push-Push/Losstop, Highwing/Paleface, Mover/Reach, Boomer & Mantis/Tatty C and Mason & Hunter/Asian Hybrid Serpent. Alpha keeps away from the fighting as best he can, as he had done before. The fighting eventually quells and TS retreats once more.

Angered by Alpha's cowardice, Mason shoots him at point blank range in the abdomen. As the situation deteriorates and the group begins to turn on one another, the fear and distress in Alpha turns to anger and he transforms into a huge raging gorilla. He proceeds to attack his team, besting them one by one. They fight back but his raw power and savagery prove too much for them. Before he can kill any of his team, Highwing manages to quell his rage, leading Alpha to run away from them.

The shattered group keep hidden and ponder on the days events, including Alpha. Mason eventually speaks up, admitting that when he saw the team reunited it was a first time since he was part of the program that he was happy, as he was finally back with his "friends", who had meant so much to him back then; as they were the first one's to accept him and treat him as something other than a nuisance. One by one they each recall their time in the program and admit that having one another to lean on was helpful during the time.

The next morning, Lady Highwing is ambushed by Killer Tiger, while the others are attacked by Stampede. Alpha eventually arrives and saves Highwing from Tiger, who retreats. Alpha runs to help the others with Stampede. Stampede is forced to retreat as he is outnumbered.

Old Man Destroyer makes his way towards the city. Big Man Strong jumps from Destroyer and swims towards Main Terryf, rising from the water as a giant, standing 30 feet tall. He makes his way into the city and confronts the team. They fight him but he proves very challenging. Ultimately Push manages to build up enough power to deliver a blast of force powerful enough to knock Strong off his feet, into a building and into unconsciousness.

In the water, Destroyer rises into the air, higher than the tallest buildings. The group watches and flees as Destroyer leans towards the side, aiming his guns and cannons towards the city. Destroyer unloads upon the city, spraying it with huge amounts of ammunition, tearing up streets and buildings. The team survives but are shaken and set back, so they flee underground. They make their way to a subway platform and gather themselves. The decide to fight.

The team split up and make Destroyer track and attack multiple targets at the same time. Boomer and Hunter board Destroyer and slowly plant numerous explosive plasma balls. Destroyer is blown out of the air and falls to the grounds, crashing through several buildings before lodging in a skyscraper. The team regroup in cheer, only to be confronted by Too Strange.

Fighting takes place throughout the city, with opponents changing consistently. Eventually the fights become more isolated and further apart than one another: Grimdoline/Cutdown & Losstop, Alpha/Killer Tiger & Stampede & AHS, Boomer/Mask Master, Mantis/Plum & Major Poison, Golem/Zombie Billy & Big Knife Red, Hunter/ Tatty C & Bright Eyes, Mason/Soldier Joe & Warshock Highwing/Paleface & Reach and Push & Mover/Big Man Strong. One by one, the team is able to best their opponents. Soldier Joe is killed in the process. The final member of Too Strange, Wrath, is unleashed. He proves the most powerful and devastating, destroying a large portion of the city. The group manages to subdue him, but fail to kill him.

Following the apprehension of the members of Too Strange, the team were (as they still are) unaware of Bagwen's plans of employing Too Strange and their team to render Terryf a city in need of major repair and investment. They are all paid for their efforts and free to go back to their own lives, but only on Bagwen's one condition: They are to come whenever he calls. They agree to the condition and decide to grab a drink before splitting up.
