Стражи Глобуса: История Команды Супергероев

Fictional superhero group
Guardians of the Globe are a fictional superhero team in the Image Universe. They appear primarily in the comic book series Invincible and its television series adaptation, as well as the Image Universe comic book series Brit, Noble Causes, Dynamo 5, and Guarding the Globe. The original team was a parody of DC Comics' Justice League of America.

In Image Comics, the original Guardians of the Globe are a private organization funded by War Woman and Darkwing. This version of the Guardians was written as a pastiche of DC Comics' Justice League of America (JLA), with most of the Guardians having an obvious JLA analog. Robert Kirkman, in his author notes for Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 1, explains that he went with these archetypes because he had only 18 pages to get the reader to care for the characters before their brutal deaths. The team included Darkwing (based on Batman); the Immortal (based on Superman along with elements of Vandal Savage); War Woman (based on Wonder Woman, with elements of Thor); Red Rush (based on the Flash); Aquarus, the King of Atlantis (based on Aquaman); Martian Man (based on the Martian Manhunter); and the Green Ghost (based on Green Lantern). Omni Man was a trusted associate of the Guardians, although he was never an official member of the team. Eventually, Omni Man betrays and murders the Guardians after calling them to their headquarters on an emergency. The only member of the Guardians to survive the massacre was Black Samson, who was not an active member at that time. The original Guardians of the Globe appear again later in the story when Invincible is temporarily sent back in time. In this alternate history, Invincible is able to warn the Guardians about Omni Man's betrayal, allowing them to successfully subdue Omni Man long enough for him to come to his senses and realise he doesn't actually want to kill his friends.

After the massacre of the original team, the United States government re established the Guardians of the Globe under the supervision of the fictional Global Defense Agency. This new team is initially led by former Teen Team leader Robot under the direct supervision of Donald, the government's superhuman liaison. In addition to Robot, the original roster for the new team includes Dupli Kate, Rex Splode, Monster Girl, Shrinking Ray, and Black Samson. Bulletproof is eventually added to the team's roster as is the newly resurrected Immortal, who eventually replaces Robot as team leader. Although not a member, Invincible often helps the team in dire circumstances. Following the death of Shrinking Ray and supposed demise of Dupli Kate at the hands of Komodo Dragon, the Immortal resigns from the Guardians.
