Fighting the Fight on the Home Front....... The Invaders revisted

Many years ago  (Back in January 2012)  I started to tell the Tale of  The  Marvel Universes War Time Heroes The Invaders...... Back then I called them the INVADE-DOGS.

Here is one of my original Posted Pictures



Here is my up dated version



These Heroes Prince Namor The Sub-Marina, The Original Human Torch, Toro and Bucky lead by the Sentinel  of Liberty Captain America, had  formed a Group to help battle the threat of Nazi Germany in Europe.

Although the Team was based in England during most of WW2, the team did on occasions return to The U S of A.

On one of these visits The Invaders became kidnapped by the Nazi's and brained washed into fighting for the Evil Red Skull.

Marvel had used their back catalogue of Timely Comic characters to help build The Invaders into a more believable tale of that time, with old villains  and new added into the stories to give them a more authentic feel.  Unlike the competition over at DC, they had  had to reboot their history as not only had they re invented a lot of the existing characters at the start of the 1960's , the likes of Batman & Superman could not have existed in WW2  and still been "young" in the 1960's - 1970's.  BUT that's enough about DC Earth 2  and the many DC reboots over the last few years.

BACK TO MARVEL .....Captain America was now alive in modern times, and so was Prince Namor. Bucky was dead, and the Original  Human Torch and Toro had disappeared.  These heroes would return in due course. Some much more quicker than others.

Back to my story

It was 1942 and the Red Skull had kidnapped and brainwashed the Invaders, all but Buck Barnes who had evaded capture. But as the Red Skull knew the Boy Solder was without any real Super Powers he ignored any future threat from Bucky.


The Invaders under the Control of the Nazi Red Skull

Bucky knew that the mind controlled Invaders could easily pose a threat to the out come of the War, so he decided to find some help of his own.

Next Time the Coming of the Liberty Legion

Until then ENJOY !
