The Coming of The Order (Part 1 of 3)

I've long wondered what it would be like to have a group of superheroes tackled bad guys similar to ones we have in the real world. What if they went after dictators in third world countries, human slave traffickers, human rights abusers, and the like? What if they went after a Kim Jong-un-like bad guy, or one like Papa Doc Duvalier, or one like Bashar al-Assad (president of Syria) and so on? How would the world react? Or what if this group took on such a cause not only to save and defend the oppressed and rid the world of some really bad people, but also to jump-start their failed and stagnant superhero careers? That's what the Order is. Altruistic AND self-serving at the same time.

The Order consists of a group of self-styled superheroes whose own careers have faltered. As seen here, they are (clockwise, starting far upper left): Big Masai, Chapel, Heru, Sentinel (flying), Rapture, Omega Man (center), Ebony Warrior, and Moe Muscle.
