The Bodyslide Incident
..
Resulted in:
..
Numerous Human Casualties;
The fall of the Seattle Team.

..
At fault:
..
Seattle Team
..
..
Summary:
..
A plot to slaughter and feed on the corporate guests of its annual corporate Spring Ball was thwarted by the Miami team, but only after a confrontation with a genetically altered Dr. Henry Corben (see Corben, Dr. H).
..
Intelligence concluded that his research unlocked the key to unnaturally long life for our species, The Children of Zeus. At the price of his humanity, Corben claimed that his genetically-altered seed, incubated by females of our kind, could create a new generation of Were-People, blessed with extended life spans; and that immortality among existing Were-People could be achieved by consuming the newborns of this new generation (see Altered Foetal Stem Cells).
..
Seattle team leader Liona (Walker, Alison - deceased) revealed herself pregnant with one such child. Motives of either raising the newborn as her own, or consuming it to obtain an extended life span remain unknown. Her life was ended by her former paramour and team leader, Dino (Drake, Roger - deceased), in fierce opposition to the conception of the aberration, and general abhorrence towards our species (see Kindergarten Incident; Miller, Charlotte).
..
Upon the obliteration of Bodyslide Gym, Seattle's base headquarters, and the elimination of Corben and his research, only one Seattle team member escaped the ordeal unscathed.
..
Zoe Von Vorst was placed under the care of, and relocated to, the headquarters of the Miami chapter, in Daytona, Florida (see Pulse-8 Auto Salon). Joining the Pulse-8 racing team, as well as the hero roster, she fought against the criminal elements under the tutelage of William Chung, Nocturnus (deceased)
..
She was quiet, and dilligent, marked by the tragedy and betrayal that befell her team mates.
..
The events that occured in the preceding months were unforseen even by her closest team mate, Madison Wells, Tigris (deceased). Von Vorst is said to have vanished one night, never to be seen again.
..
Until now.

DOC # T13-547 - VULTURA
..
Combat reports suggest that the supervillain Vultura is indeed Von Vorst, previously of the Seattle Team, and that, at 50 years of age, outliving her contemporaries by 20 years, she has somehow acquired and replicated Corben's process of life enhancement.
..
Encounters with the superpowered terrorists known as The Children Of Vultura (see C.O.V., or "The Coven") confirm reports that the group have engaged in acts of cannibalism against other Were-People, unequivocally verifying them as the by-products of Corben's legacy.
..
Satellite surveillance on her Virginia compound indicate that her new race of children are breeding, with unconfirmed reports speculating that her offspring are feeding on their own firstborns to acquire enhanced life spans.
..
She is also said to be in possession of genetic material from the Seattle team, and is birthing cloned versions of her deceased former team mates.
