Entire nations grow nervous when random citizens intermittently manifest powerful abilities they cannot explain. Dubbed "synergenetics," apprehensive governments arrange for them to attend controlled evaluations in the U.N.’s ultra-advanced labs when an unfolding mega-disaster entangles the boldest half-dozen to work against the clock in order to save millions of lives! Welcome to the home website of ANGELCORPS, Allied Nations Guarding Earth Life, a bold new take on Earthlings endowed with new and potentially dangerous powers! Independently created by newcomer Eric Linquist, this fresh take on classic super-heroes starts with Science Bay Alpha, an advanced super- funded Unified Nations research facility that has been charged with getting to the bottom of reports alleging humans are displaying dangerous powers and abilities they often cannot control. Nervous governments help pass a U.N. resolution that will charge ultra-advanced Science Bay Alpha with verifying whether or not humans really are being imbued with dangerous new abilities, notoriuosly difficult to prove up to now. It's not that the idea of a super-powered Earthling is so revolutionary. It's just that in the last ten years, there has only been one on the entire planet. A guy named I-Force. A guy who used to be a Manhattanite named Paul Michaelson, but his world changed when he suddenly became able to psionically absorb and store any form of energy (kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, and electromagnetic) and use it to generate incredibly powerful strength, propulsion and psionic shields in an instant. His eyes, which can see telescopically and detect a broad spectrum of energies, became able to function as energy emitters able to project wide or narrow beams of heat, cold or concussive force at the speed of thought. No one has been able to determine how or why it happened. It just happened. Just as the life-changing gifts of these powers changed his world, he decided to use his powers to try and change the world in a classically heroic manner. I-Force soon became known as the world's first global hero, using his gifts to save millions of lives, expediting aid, fighting disasters, negotiating solutions and combatting crimes. In fact, much of the world regard him as some sort of Earth-bound angel. Now, are there more angels in the wings? |
Can people from different nations, with different backgrounds, with different values and different upbringings now step up for their home countries, and for the world, to work together as part of a U.N.-sponsored team to keep Earth safe from harm? They're going to have to give it their best shot because Earth is about to undergo some serious revelations! And this is what I wrote on the inside cover of the first issue! Enjoy, Angelites! "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. " - James Madison (1751 - 1836) It is ten year's into Earth's future and ten years after the inexplicable emergence of the first synergenetic human, Paul Michaelson! A Manhattanite who became capable of impossible energy-wielding feats, Michaelson used his gifts in a classically heroic manner to became a global humanitarian for good named I-Force! But now a rash of energy-wielding incidents have purportedly sprung up around the globe and apprehensive governments, perceiving a dangerous threat, agree to use a super-funded, state-of-the-art U.N. and their advanced research facility to get answers! Suspected synergenetic nationals are volunteered to Science Bay Alpha smoothly when an unfolding mega-disaster compels the boldest of them to work against the clock in order to save millions of lives! Welcome to the first Issue of ANGELCORPS - Allied Nations Guarding Earth Life - where nations worldwide populate U.N. teams of powerful operatives to help protect life on Earth! Or are there ulterior motives in play? Will ANGELCorps be used to advance the globalization of Earth? Will newfound powers divide up Earth's biggest players or will Earth's biggest players divide the newfound powers? Ride along as this blistering, action-packed and, at times, humorous new series takes you soaring, where super-powered characters get realistic treatment and where power, corruption and subterfuge keep the savviest readers guessing issue after issue! Strap in tight as Writer/Artist Eric Linquist delivers ANGELCorp fans a little taste of Heaven on a ride to Hell and back! Halos optional. Eric "E-Man" Linquist |
