Who do you call when the whole world is in danger? The police? An alphabet organization? Or perhaps the national military? Under most circumstances, you’d be right to pick any one of those groups, but what about when none of the aforementioned groups are enough? What about when the threat is so large that even if all of those groups were to be called in together, they’d be helpless to do anything but watch?
The smartest of you are now thinking that in such a desperate situation, perhaps it’d be best to call one of these new superpowered heroes—a fair response. So, tell me, what should then be done if the nearest and best-equipped hero has met the danger and failed spectacularly?
Having learned from their previous mistakes, the government of the United States has since prepared a contingency plan for this exact situation. Their answer? The Big Five. Made up of some of the world’s most powerful heroes, the team serves as an emergency response unit. Any threat to freedom, public safety, or peace is eradicated with extreme prejudice.
