The United Nations Security Council wants a team that's accountable to them, with the appropriate flexibility to save lives. They've commissioned a team representing the brightest minds and strongest warriors in the world.
Meet The Invaders.
Captain America / Steve Rogers / United States of America
The obvious choice to represent the United States and a master tactician. The only catch is that, in order to ensure that this appears to be a global coalition and not America and its Amazing Friends, Steve isn't allowed to be the leader. Steve's a humble man, but he's not sold on the problem-solving methods of the team's frontman. He seems a little too... Tony.
Sunspot / Roberto DaCosta / Brazil
Far from being part of the idle rich, Bobby's put his money towards serving his home country (and filling up his time now that Sam's busy with his wife and kid). He's "earned" a sweet gig as Brazil's rep on the Invaders, and as a well-renowned executive, he's the natural choice to lead.
Coal Tiger / Shuri / Wakanda
Wakanda may be isolationist, but there's certain crises that demand intervention. T'Challa's busy running the country back home and doing other superheroics. His sister is a natural choice to serve as his substitute, and while the title of Black Panther is taken, the lost, Silver Age mantle of 'Coal Tiger' is still open...
Excalibur / Faiza Hussain / United Kingdom
Every team needs a medic, and Faiza Hussain certainly fits the bill. The Captains Britain were considered for the spot, but the prospect of allowing Krakoans with dual loyalties onto the team disturbs the UNSC.
Sersi / Greece
She's technically a Greek national, right? She positions herself as a candidate for the team, and besides, it's not like Greece has the money to fund a homegrown superhero.
Puck / Eugene Judd / Canada
Who doesn't love Puck? Even if America's rep is good ol' Steve Rogers, Canada's government is loathe to allow the continent to be solely represented by the US.
Ursa Major / Mikhail Ursus / Russian Federation
The one member of the Winter Guard who's willing to play ball with UN supervision after the whole "Red Widow" debacle. He's also the team's rough equivalent to Hulk.
Aero / Lei Ling / People's Republic of China
As a relative novice, Aero's the team's token "fish out of water" and a representative of China. She's sort of caught off guard by the pressure of being a national symbol, but luckily, she's got teammates to guide her.
Sabra / Ruth Bat-Serpah / Israel
Israel's equivalent to Captain America and Black Widow
Grid / Dinesh Deol / India
Sure, he's a little put off that he, as India's rep, is a technopath... it doesn't help dispute the "tech support" stereotype. Regardless, he's happy to be here... But while the UNSC has been focusing on ensuring that Krakoa is kept out of the room, both they and Dinesh are unaware that he's Attilan's trojan horse into world politics.
