Man, I just LOVED the Protectors.That book mixed a number of public domain heroes, such Amazing-Man and Man of War, with some new characters created by Malibu Comics. It was originally scheduled to be a six-issue series, but its early popularity caused it to be extended (to an eventual 20 issues) and led to a number of spinoff series and one-shots.
In the tenth issue, an all-female group of terrorists called the Cat Pack, led by Black Fury, storms the White House and takes the president and his family hostage. The Protectors leap into action and free the hostages, but Black Fury escapes and manages to take the president's slacker grandson with her!
But all is not lost because, as the Protectors and the president discuss their next move, Miss Fury makes her grand (re)appearance.
At the time, I didn't know this character from a hole in the ground. It "felt" like a big reveal, but I didn't really get it.
As mentioned earlier, Malibu had published a four-issue limited series featuring their version of the character through an imprint called Adventure Comics. The Malibu Fury was the granddaughter of the original.
This particular storyline continued in issues 11 and 12 of the Protectors. The standard fighting among heroes who meet for the first time takes place, with Fury kicking her fair share of ass. She turns down an offer to join the team at the conclusion of the last issue, but does reappear later in the series.
The books were written by R.A. Jones and pencilled by Tom Derenick. Issues 10 and 11 were inked by Bobby Rae.
