Imperial Guard

To replace the heroes that are believed slain after the Onslaught crisis, Lilandra has sent a team of eight Imperial Guardsmen to observe and aid earth. Even though they would prefer to fight in the war that currently endangers their own homeplanet, the Imperial Guard follows their Majestrix’s order, but at least they come up with the idea to sent the X-Men to Shi’Ar space to help in their stead. While on earth, the Guardsmen usually keep a low profile, but as a new group called Underground Militia publicly speaks against earth’s superhuman population, Gladiator decides to oppose them. A fight starts and surprisingly the Militia, led by a man named Primus, have special weapons with which they easily defeat the Imperial Guard.
