forced Liger back to Earth. He spent the next few years as a traumatized, homeless alcoholic separated from his gun Clementine. When it seemed like Mys-Tech were turning, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s European Division head Keller brought Liger back in from the cold and tasked him to dig up intelligence. Keller turned out to be possessed by Mys-Tech's old Psycho-Wraith Prime, and Liger had been brought in just to find Warhead's old Master Key, so the Key could be forced to open a portal for Mephisto's armies; Psycho-Wraith Prime taunted Liger that S.H.I.E.L.D. simply hadn't cared enough to bring him back before or find his lost troops. However, the wounded Liger was able to help free some of Prime's captured superheroes and helped gun down Mephisto's general Killpower, saving the world. Afterward, he disappeared with the now-cured Keller on a trip to Hell to find Kether Troop. Warheads Kether Troop Colonel Tigon Liger The comic focused on the Kether Troop led by Colonel Tigon Liger, whose most notable feature was prominent facial scarring from being slashed by Wolverine. He carried a very large semi-intelligent gun named Clementine that, while helpful to the troop, sometimes endangered them when Liger's orders were unclear. The creators of Warheads named Colonel Liger after two hybrid animals; a tigon is a crossbreed between a male tiger and a female lion crossbreed, a liger being its reverse. Other members The membership varied over the course of the series, with frequent inclusion of trainee characters, new recruits, or "loaner" members from other Troops, who usually died in the course of action (like redshirts on Star Trek). In rough sequential order, the Kether Troop included: Issue 1: Stacy Arnheim (in charge of troop defence and who was normally depicted wearing a large exoskeleton of combat armour) Cale (a retriever and expert at scavenging; Col. Liger's lover, killed in the first story) Corey (technician, killed in the first story) Draft (described as a hit-man, killed in the first story) Gregory (hit-man, replacement for Draft) Johnny Heaven (technician, replacement for Corey, killed by Leona in issue #2) Leona McBride (retriever, replacement for Cale, turned into a vampire at the end of Warheads: Black Dawn #2) Misha (a Psi-Scout, with precognitive abilities) Perez (the troop medic, killed in issue #10) Issue 3: Chalmers (new recruit, killed) Grierson (technician, on loan from Ubu Troop) Peters (new recruit, killed) Samuels (new recruit, female retriever, killed) Issue
