History

The Assemblers were the premier super-hero team of the planet Angor. They were greatly beloved by the public and despised by their enemies. Unfortunately, the Assemblers let fame and fortune to affect their egos, and they spent more time posing at photo-ops then worrying about the schemes of their adversaries. Their foes did not rest on their laurels however. Members of the super-villain community began conspiring in secret and the deadliest of the bunch formed a team known as the Extremists. The Extremists were pure sociopaths whose goal was nothing short than the utter destruction of their home world. They succeeded in taking control of the planet's nuclear arsenal and used it to commit widespread genocide. The Assemblers known as the Bowman and Captain Speed died during the nuclear Armageddon. Surviving team members Blue Jay, Silver Sorceress and Wandjina regrouped as the Champions of Angor, but they were unable to save their world. With little recourse, these remaining heroes sought refuge in another dimension. They arrived on the planet Earth and attempted to destroy Earth's nuclear stockpile in the hopes of preventing the devastations that destroyed Angor from affecting Earth as well. Their efforts were met with resistance however, and they crossed paths with the super-hero team known as the Justice League.

Notes

• The Assemblers were concieved as a pastiche of characters from Marvel Comics' Avengers, whose battle cry is "Avengers Assemble!"
• The world of Angor was introduced in Pre-Crisis continuity as just another planet in another dimension. With the recreation of the Multiverse following the events of 52, a version of Angor has been allocated to the parallel reality known as Earth-8. Angor is not referred to as Earth-8 until Countdown #29.
