Current Events
Unity are trying to prevent worldwide disaster by stopping a designer virus from being released by the mysterious Dr. Silk and his high-tech terror cell Webnet.
Origin
When X-O Manowar decided to invade Romania and claim it as The Visigoths new Kingdom, Toyo Harada put together the Unity team to stand against him. Originally consisting of four powerful and highly trained psiots from the Harbinger Foundation, the team was easily defeated by X-O Manowar. As a result, the team's roster was changed to Toyo Harada, Eternal Warrior, Livewire, and Ninjak. After Livewire managed to bond with Aric's armor using her technology manipulation and communication, Aric and his Visigoth people were captured with ease and sent to a prison camp under the care of Colonel Capshaw and M.E.R.O.(Now called G.A.T.E.) - a US Military division concerned with extra-terrestrial activities.
After bonding with Shanhara (X-O Manowar armor) Livewire's powers were greatly enhanced and she was able to learn that Harada intended to keep the armor for himself. Harada planned on using the armors powers to further his goals of world domination which caused the rest of the team to retaliate. Together Eternal Warrior, Ninjak and Livewire fought Harada for the armor, ultimately defeating him. Unity returned the X-O Manowar armor to Aric, who subsequently joined the team. Meanwhile Aric had come to an understanding with M.E.R.O. to become their agent in exchange for land and homes for his people in an unpopulated region of Nebraska.
Creation
Unity was created by writer Matt Kindt and artist Doug Braithwaite. They first appeared in Unity #1 (Nov. 2013).
