No hero organization can stay afloat without money. It's true. The Polar City League used to be backed by the government. But since it's collapse, the government has been overrun by Murphy's Law. And Murphy is not going to pay for the very people who are trying to get rid of him.
Meet Matt and Mark. Once attorneys for Murphy (two of hundreds), they were his favorites. Both brilliant, one in black, the other in white. They could intimidate with the best, and neither of them had ever lost.
But one day, they looked too deep into Murphy's business. Paperwork about experimentation on children surfaced. After paperwork, the photograph followed, and then the video documentation. Murphy was confronted, as neither man had the stomach for what had happened. Both heroes themselves, they figured they had a duty to do something.
For this they lost their jobs. Mark lost his right arm, and Matt his left. They were thrown onto the street, their expensive suits ruined and bleeding to death. They carried no proof of the atrocities save what they could remember.
Their search for prosthetics led them to Sircuit. As he outfitted them with new limbs, they learned of a struggling underground of heroes rebelling against Murphy, doing what little they could. One looked at the other and knew they had found what they were looking for.
Through overseas investments and various other enterprises, the two decided to fund the Resistance. Now they oversee Sircuit's patents ... for a fee, and put their cut right back into the organization.
They managed to locate the last survivor of Murphy's experimentation, and Matt was sent to retrieve her and act as her lawyer in the federal case in which she was currently drowning. (Why HAD she blown up Sweden, anyway?) After seeing her largest charges overturned but failing to dodge the punishment of having a mood-alteration chip implanted in her head, he brought her back to Polar City.
They are the unofficial leaders of the Resistance, still without a name, and neither engage in active duty. It is unclear what abilities they have past their advanced arms.
