Ambuscade

Ambuscade's History

Ansel G. Moreau, world-famous French action movie star, has a few dark secrets. His hobby of big game hunting had spiraled out of control - his constant need for bigger and more threatening prey had him hunting the very heroes that protect the earth! To this end, he employed a shady genetics corporation to give him superpowers, but the process went terribly wrong, scarring his million-dollar face and ending his acting career.

However, he did gain some new, energy-manipulation abilities from the process, which he planned to put to good use. Taking the name Ambuscade, he employed his new powers and a vast arsenal to hunt the heroes he considered to be the most dangerous and powerful. At the top of his list? Haka, the ageless Maori warrior. No one else could provide a sufficient challenge to one as skilled as Ambuscade, the world's most efficient and calculating hunter.

Although extremely talented in his chosen profession, Ambuscade never managed to bag any truly powerful prey. After defeat at the hands of many heroes, Ambuscade knew his tactics had to change. It was time to form a Hunting Party! From the marks he'd defeated in hunts to mercenaries he tempted with the allure of quick riches, Ambuscade cobbled together a team of villains: The Slaughterhouse Six! Each of them have their own prey they aim to take down, and they all aid each other in their vile hunts. More dangerous as a team, the Slaughterhouse six is a threat to the safety of many heroes and their allies.
