ZODIAC ASCENDANT
PLASTIC KNIGHTS AND TOY BIZ HAVE ONCE AGAIN TEAMED TO FILL ANOTHER VOID
IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. AFTER LAST CON'S SHOWING, FOLKS HAVE BEEN BEGGING
FOR MORE BAD GUYS.
"THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE
DIFFERENT," SAID BROTHER VOODOO OF PLASTIC KNIGHTS. "WE TOOK A REALLY
LAME SUPER VILLIAN TEAM AND RE-CONCEPTUALIZED THEM, WE THINK THEY LOOK
MUCH MORE FORMIDABLE NOW." "THIS NEW TEAM IS BASED ON THE SAME OLD
PREMISE. TWELVE SUPER-VILLIANS, EACH ONE REPRESENTING A DIFFERENT SIGN
OF THE ZODIAC, ONLY THIS TIME THEY ARE TIED TOGETHER BY THE ZODIAC KEY,
WHICH IS A TRANS-DIMENSIONAL TRANSPORTER LINKED TO THE GLYPH ON EACH
MEMBERS ARMOR," BROTHER VOODOO WAS QUOTED AS SAYING.
THE OLD TEAM, WITH
ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE ARTISTS BACK THEN WERE COSTUME CHALLENGED, AND
PRETTY LAME, THESE GUYS AND GALS ARE NOT LAME, NOT FASHION FAUX PAUS,
AND NOT PUSHOVERS. WHOEVER THE MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTOR BEHIND THIS TEAM
IS, BUILT THEM FOR ONE PURPOSE. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE AVENGERS. THE OLD
ZODIAC USED TO BE COMPRISED OF SO-CALLED CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS BASED IN
CITIES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT THIS TEAM HAS A SUPER-POWERED BASE OF
OPERATIONS IN GOOD OL' NEW YORK, NEW YORK. THIS TEAM LOOKS LIKE IT COULD
KICK SOME SERIOUS AVENGER A##. SO WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S PRESENT
THE ALL NEW. ALL DEADLY. ZODIAC ASCENDANT
LOOK FOR MORE FROM PLASTIC KNIGHTS TOYS COMING SOON!
IN YEARS PAST, THE ZODIAC WOULD MAKE ITS OCCASIONAL APPEARANCE IN THE
PAGES OF MARVEL COMICS AVENGERS BOOK. THEY WERE ALWAYS DEFEATED. THAT'S
ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE. A MYSTERIOUS AND HIDDEN BEING HAS REFORMED THE
ZODIAC, THE TEAM CONSISTING OF MUTANTS, TECHNOLOGICALLY ENHANCED, AND
MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED SUPER BEINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER FOR THE
SOLE PURPOSE OF DESTROYING THE AVENGERS. EACH MEMBER WEARS THEIR ASTRAL
GLYPH ON THIS ARMOR, EACH GLYPH IS MYSTICALLY LINKED WITH THEIR FIELD
LEADER LEO'S ZODIAC KEY STAFF WHICH CAN TELEPORT THE TEAM AWAY. THIS
ZODIAC MAY BE MORE THAN THE AVENGERS CAN HANDLE.
THIS ZODIAC IS THE ALL NEW. ALL DEADLY. ZODIAC ASCENDANT.
