Liberators (comics)

The Liberators are a group of fictional comic book supervillains appearing in books published by Marvel Comics who appear in comics set in the Ultimate Marvel universe. Created by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, they appear in the miniseries The Ultimates 2. They are effectively the Ultimate universe's equivalents of the Masters of Evil.

The Liberators are a superhuman task force who appear at the climax of the plot arc. They spearhead an invasion of the United States and are from a coalition of nations opposed to the United States' foreign policy. This international collective is made up of China, Syria, North Korea, Iran, and rogue elements of the French and Russian governments. The Liberators and their overseers are an opposing counterpart to the Ultimates and S.H.I.E.L.D., respectively.

"We told you to stop making super people, America. We told you not to interfere with cultures you can never understand. This is what happens when your ambitions outstrip your capabilities. The empire takes a fall. Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen...The Great Satan has just been liberated."
