Silver BulletThe Silver Bullet is a brainchild of two former Warwolf operatives. Malcolm Stroker - a young and bitter, yet talented man eluded by the organization's unofficial purpose of combating superhumans, seeing it as a way to get revenge for the loss of his family in the middle of a superhero brawl. Lauris Reiniks - an aged veteran of KGB Spetsgruppa A, carrying decades of experience in fighting superhumans for the glory of the Soviet Union worldwide and turning to Warwolf as a second option after the fall of his homeland. Both of them were assigned to San Diego, and for both of them it was the end of their world.
Lauris lost his job, getting relieved due to the organization's budget cuts. Malcolm lost his trust in Warwolf ever bringing the revenge against the superhuman threat which he desired. The two operatives chose to ignore orders to leave the city and declared a mutiny, seizing as much equipment as they were able, including their seats of power armor, weaponry, and several power suppressors, and went to hiding, with a new goal in mind. On the way, they picked up two more allies, Franklin and Nihal, neither of whom were from Warwolf, but were eluded by Malcolm's stated purpose of the team.
The Silver Bullet style themselves not as heroes, vigilantes, or villains, believing this dichotomy to be nothing but a horror inflicted upon society, and instead declare themselves to be "superhuman killers". Ever since the first superhumans arose and took the mantle of heroes or villains, the world has progressively become a worse place. Their clashes cause untold, catastrophic death and destruction, the most powerful of them are strong enough to destabilize and take over entire nations. And, not only that, but Malcolm sees potential in superhumans to destroy the complete fabric of society. For centuries, nay, millennia, human society was built upon the idea that all humans are equal. Equal before God, equal before the state, or equal before law. Superhumans threaten this fundamental axiom of human society - they simply are not equal, they are greater than humans in all accounts. In them, Malcolm sees the foundations for a future caste of tyrants, of rulers, or oligarchs. As much as they may claim to fight for good or for some fundamental values, the mere nature of their existence puts them above the normal man and, once they realize this fully, they will take advantage of it one day.
The solution to this threat to humanity is to eliminate superhumans entirely, to start a crusade against them and murder each and every one of them in cold blood. Much like silver bullets are the only option against supernatural monsters and their scourge, the Silver Bullet is the only option against the superhuman scourge.
None of the members of Silver Bullet have superpowers, obviously, but make up for it with tactics stemming from the equipment they have at hand. They pick out isolated targets, isolated either naturally or artificially, remove their powers with suppression equipment and eliminate them like any normal human. Each member of Silver Bullet brings something of their own to the table - Lauris is equipped with a set of Warwolf power armor which, if needed, allows him to keep up with superhumans; Malcolm is an expert combatant and a master at preparatory work, calculating for every single possible mistake and procuring equipment accordingly; Franklin is a martial artist and master of several Eastern fighting styles; and Nihal is a combat medic able to keep the rest of the team in shape for their increasingly dangerous missions.
