Cabal
A group of New York City Police Department officers that came together to form an organization that would permanently kill criminals, rather than simply jailing them.
The group commissioned Stane International to give them an edge in their crusade. Stane's company designed and manufactured a suit of powered armor for them, the "Savage Steel" battlesuit, based on technology stolen from Stark Enterprises. Different members of the Cabal all took turns wearing the armor. In-fighting and mistakes caused the breakup of the cabal, precipitated by an accidental explosion.
