A group of villains on the payroll of Remus who has placed bounties on Europe's heroes. The player characters will initially identify targets themselves (using the Character Directory) and plan to eliminate them to collect on Remus' bounty. However, they will soon realise that they are competing against other groups for the same reward money and rivalries will spring up with The Legion, T.I.T.A.N. and Empire, as well as individual villains or small groups such as Motte and Bailey and members of the International House of Crime.

In addition to Remus' bounties, the characters may stage other criminal activities depending on their interests and long term plans.

The characters will be hunted by Europe's heroes after their operation becomes clear, and the players should be aware that their characters may end up in prison or worse, but that this is part of the risks involved in such an endeavour.

Remus has set a time limit for his plan, and the team which defeats the most number of heroes after twelve months (taking into account the power of the heroes) will receive a state-of-the-art headquarters at Remus' expense.
