The High Price of Spandex (Plot)

Summary: The High Price of Spandex involved four villains. These included Nazi super-fiend Iron Cross and mechanically enhanced archeologist Dr. Dungeon, both of whom had previously been defeated by the champions and were incarcerated in a secret super-max prison beneath Liberty Island (New York). Legion a demonic entity able to control the mind and body of living creatures masterminded the plan whilst Other woman, a villainess with a penchant for cloning herself, also assisted.

Legion had fooled Iron Cross and Dr Dungeon into believeing that the use of an artifact known as the Richtoven Plate and the blood of innocent souls would open a gate to another dimension where the third reich had won World War 2 (In fact it would open a gate to Hell). Legion then used the resources of Iron Cross to take over the detention facility and allow Iron Cross and Dr. Dungeon their freedom.

Legion also took control of Champion Spook and had him infiltrate the CIA to steal the plate and implant a worldwide message. As the plan swung into motion Legion then worked to distract the Champions from realising its true intent until it was too late...
