True Believers #1

Sep 2008 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 3.05 CAD
“Payback Is a Bitch”

Payback uncovers an underground fight club that captures prostitutes from off the street, pumps them up with mutant growth hormone and forces them to battle. When the True Believers' blog outs the spectators as powerful men who dress up as superheroes, SHIELD takes notice and begins to investigate the team. Agent Mavis Trent gives Director Stark a profile of the team members (but omits the fact that she is Payback). The Believers interrupt a broadcast to inform the Fantastic Four that they are about to reveal a scandal involving Mr. Fantastic and he has 24 hours to prove them wrong.
