History
African Argonauts
Chinese Argonauts
Russian Argonauts
European Argonauts
- The Argonauts first reformed in Africa, fighting a string of monsters and villains who were trying to dominate the region and steal its treasures.
Chinese Argonauts
- The next iteration appeared in China, where they fought against invaders, magical beasts and lich lords.
Russian Argonauts
- The other iteration in Russia was short lived, they served their purpose for a time but infighting and backstabbing ended the group. Some of them tried to stay together, others went solo and a few were deemed unworthy and stripped of their armor entirely.
European Argonauts
- The last iteration was in Europe in the early stages of WWI. They helped fight in the wars and against the dawn of a new age of powered people, which were now popping up in a higher frequency than ever. This group was unfortunately assassinated in the beginning of WWII by the Hoods. Who were trying to capitalize on the destabilization of the continent.
