[lbo-talk] THE SAN DIEGO SEVEN

THE SAN DIEGO SEVEN
Cited by some historians as the dark reflection of The Whole Earth 
Squadron, the San Diego Seven formed on the West Coast around the 
charismatic figure of a super powered student agitator known as The Jester, 
a year after the WES appeared on the scene. The Jester recruited six other 
young, disaffected super powered individuals to aid him in his battle 
against the establishment: Midnight, The Target, The Osprey, Aquarius, Nova 
Girl, and The Freak.The group was much more anarchist in nature than their 
bretheren in Washington D.C., and became increasingly violent in their 
later days, clashing with independant super crime fighters and The 
Crusaders, as well as finding themselves on the wanted lists of national 
law enforcement. This trend toward violence lost more moderate members like 
The Osprey or The Target by 1970, and culminated in the murder of The 
Jester at the hands of two of his disciples, Aquarius and Nova Girl, in 
1977. The two murderers went on to become the super criminals Blackshark 
and Salamander. The demoralized remnants of the group turned themselves in 
and retired after their prison terms had been served out.
