Villain Finder

·It's assumed that the Reichsman and the rest of the Amerika Korps are imprisoned by the Freedom Phalanx. If they should escape, the Freedom Phalanx would most likely lead other heroes to find the fascists.

 

Tactics

·Unknown, but there has been a suggestion that their training was lax; it's unlikely that they have developed any significant tactics.  

 

Combat Recommendations

·None at this time, but the Freedom Phalanx captured the Amerika Korps by first defeating all of the Reichsman's teammates while the Statesman kept him occupied. Once the Reichsman's "allies" had fallen, the Freedom Phalanx used its combined might to vanquish the Nazi superhero.

 

Rewards

·Unknown.

 

History

 

The Amerika Korps is an "elite super powered hero organization that helped preserve Nazi rule over the former United States" in a dimension where the Nazis had defeated America. This dimension, known as "Axis America," was first discovered by Dr. Brian Webb, a former Freedom Phalanx technician.

 

When Webb visited Axis America, he was accompanied by members of the Freedom Phalanx. But the Reichsman learned of "these other-worldly interlopers." Presumably with the aid of his Amerika Korps, the Reichsman "captured Dr. Webb and his explorers, tortured them to death, and ended up extracting a great deal of data about Webb's home dimension. Data is all well and good, but the Reichsman decided he wanted to see for himself, and so he led Amerika Korps through [Webb's dimensional portal] and back to Paragon City.

"It didn't take long for the super-powered fascists to earn the attention of the Freedom Phalanx. Queen Comet, a prominent member of the Phalanx and friend of Dr. Webb, saw the alternate Statesman come through and, having been briefed by Portal Corp about the world Webb and his escorts were exploring, she quickly called for back-up and bravely fought off the invaders until helped arrived. Although seriously wounded, she managed to hold on until the Statesman and the rest of the Phalanx arrived.

"The ensuing battle raged through the Portal Corp laboratories and spilled out into the city streets. The Reichsman was every bit the equal of his all-American counterpart, and the two nearly beat each other into the ground. Fortunately, the rest of the Amerika Korps did not measure up to the Freedom Phalanx (apparently in his world the Reichsman did not take kindly to potential rivals, and thus their training had been somewhat lax). With his henchmen defeated, it was only a matter of time before the evil Statesman fell. To this day he remains frozen in suspended animation within the Freedom Phalanx's main headquarters." It's assumed that the other members of the Amerika Korps have been imprisoned alongside the Reichsman, although this has not been confirmed.

 

Although the Reichsman and presumably the rest of the Amerika Korps are trapped in suspended animation, it's quite possible that they could be freed by another villainous group with a similar agenda, such as the Nazi-inspired Fifth Column or a strike team from Axis America.
