The Patriot Brigade

Alliance 1, nicked-named The Patriot Brigade, is a High Level Task Force answerable only to The Executive Branch. Their mission is to protect The United States from extraordinary threats to national security, particularly those of trans-human or extra-terrestrial origin. Formed from the country's highest-ranking transhuman operatives, it is considered both the First Strike Deterrent and the Last Line of Defense in moments of extreme crisis. Established in 1941 to combat Nazi Super-Soldiers, its current membership includes American General, Power Patriette, The Independent and American Shield.

Crossovers
Germany, 8 May, 1945: Adolf Hitler is presumed dead, Berlin is being occupied by allied forces and the Third Reich is in the verge of immanent collapse. However, out in the wilds of the Norwegian Alps, the Nazi super-villain Grünstraum is making one final attempt to seize power. Having brokered a deal with Hekatte and The Book Master, Grünstraum's scientists have developed a prototype Atomic Bomb along with fleet of Glocken aircraft with which to destroy Europe.

Grünstraum's plans are foiled by Alliance 1 led by American General. The strike force (which includes Major Triumph, Victory Girl, American Valkyrie, Independent and American Shield) manage to fight their way past Vemork's defensive perimeters, but are halted in the tracks by Tiwaz the Terrible, Wotan and The Krimson Kaiser. With time running out, Victory Girl slips through to the heavy water plant, determined to halt the countdown.

Realizing the cause is lost, Grünstraum detonates the bomb, hoping to wipe out the entire Patriot Brigade in a single stroke. The plan backfires due to the complex being located underground; a massive nuclear explosion ensues, vaporizing everything within the Power Plant and setting off several earthquakes across the region. Wotan, Tiwaz and the Kaiser are finally subdued, but the Patriots fear they've lost their most cherished member.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the immortal Valkyrie searches through the irradiated ruins, but finds no trace of either Victory Girl or Grünstraum. Realizing they must have been vaporized in the blast, Val returns to inform Major Triumph that his niece did not survive. At this grim news, the remaining members of the Patriot Brigade stand to attention and salute the passing of 16 year-old Victoria Hamilton..."The Greatest of Us All."
