Psi Lords - Organization History

Organization History

The Psi-Lords are 41st century descendants of the H.A.R.D. Corps, a group set in modern Valiant continuity. The H.A.R.D Corps fought Toyo Harada of Harbinger using brain implants which allowed the Corp to access individual Harbinger superpowers. In 2999, the H.A.R.D. Corps leaves Earth when Toyo Harada is slain. They continue improving the brain implants until nanites are developed, allowing H.A.R.D. Corps to access all Harbinger powers simultaneously. The new technology halts aging, even reversing it for those past their prime. Red glowing eyes are a side effect, similar to Bloodshot, another Valiant nanite-powered hero. Conquering a planet occupied by Spider Aliens, the Corps establishes a home base, after which, the H.A.R.D. Corp is known as the PSI-Lords or Starwatchers.

No longer dependent on teamwork, individual members of the PSI-Lords conduct autonomous missions to guide and help around the galaxy. During this period, a PSI-Lord rebels and has to be killed by the others. Fearing further incidents, the leaders of the PSI-Lords reduce the powers each Watcher can use, hoping that this will force the members to rely upon teamwork and keep the prevent the Starwatchers from becoming overly self-reliant.

The PSI-Lords return to earth in the 41st century, towards the end of the Malev War depicted in the Magus and Rai titles. 17 years after the end of this war, the PSI-Lords series starts. Not trusted by humanity after their recent alien invasions, the Starwatchers work to gaining the trust of earth and its leaders, particularly President Magnus.
