who star in their own monthly series. Two weeks after Warner began training Dynamo 5 to act as a team, the team begins to chafe under her strict demands, and insists that they are ready for their first mission. She sends them to Tower City, where they are soundly beaten by a quintet of villains: Dr. Chaos, Battle-Axe, Slipstream, Flashpoint and Iceberg. Dynamo 5 now realize that they are not ready, and continue to train. Unbeknownst to them, the villains are actually the Noble Family, a family of superheroes whom Warner had disguised as criminals in order to convince Dynamo 5 that they needed more training. The Nobles again came to Dynamo 5's aid after they rescued Warner from a hostage situation, during which he had fallen into a comatose state, by taking her to the Nobles' private island for examination. F.L.A.G. F.L.A.G. (Foundation for Law And Government) is a government organization that monitors and confronts superhuman activity. F.L.A.G. is headed in Washington, DC by a man named Director Lansing. F.L.A.G. had a close working relationship with Captain Dynamo. The organization has multiple headquarters in numerous cities, including a Tower City branch located in one of the city's skyscrapers. Shortly after Dynamo 5 began protecting Tower City, F.L.A.G. began investigating them, refusing to condone what one of its top agents, Sandy Colvin, considers to be vigilante activity. Although Warner's former partner, Augie Ford, is more sympathetic to the fact that the young members of Dynamo 5 are valiantly risking their lives to protect Tower City from threats that no one else is confronting, Colvin has F.L.A.G. capture the team (excluding Slingshot) and interrogates them. Ford helps Slingshot free her siblings, and conceals his complicity in this by conveying to Sandy that this was Myriad impersonating him. F.L.A.G. conducts scientific experiments in a number of areas, including reverse engineering Bernard Dempsey's Whiptail serum, which turns a subject into a monstrous humanoid reptile, and duplicating the effect by which Captain Dynamo and Dynamo 5 gained their superhuman abilities, which thus far resulted in the deaths of F.L.A.G's test subjects. F.L.A.G. is apparently in possession of Captain Dynamo's corpse, on which they are conducting scientific research, though Ford does not know this. Despite F.L.A.G.'s conflict with Dynamo 5, a number of its agents actually appreciate the effort Dynamo 5 makes in protecting Tower City. Following Dynamo 5's defeat of Widowmaker, Slaughterhouse, Dr. Chimera,
