A Look Back at Team 7 #3 (1994)

Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Image Comics fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1995 to take a close look at one of the many tales of the original WildStorm universe through one of the comic books of the first mini-series of Team 7.
For the newcomers reading this, Team 7 is set in the past within the original WildStorm universe. This is the special forces team that had major WildStorm heroes – Grifter (WildCATS: Covert Action Teams), Backlash, Jackson Dane (Wetworks), John Lynch (Gen13) and Michael Cray (Deathblow) – who were younger, were proficient with combat and gained special abilities as a result of a sinister move by their superiors. Issue #2 took place after the team got exposed to something they never anticipated and their superiors knew it.
With those details laid down, here is a look back at Team 7 #3, published in 1994 by Image Comics with a story written by Chuck Dixon and drawn by Aron Wiesenfeld. This is the 3rd chapter of a 4-issue mini-series.
The cover.Early story
Set in the 1970s, the surviving Team 7 members (already exposed to the chemical agent) are in the middle of a new mission somewhere in East Africa. Because their teammate Johnson abused his new power to manipulate a black general to kill himself against his own will, Cole Cash eliminates Johnson causing John Lynch to be outraged. Cash tells Lynch that Johnson lost himself completely. He also tells him to list Johnson as MIA (missing-in-action) and turn a blind eye as before.
Lynch points his gun at Cash’s head believing he is standing for the mission and rules. After Cash tells him that they are monsters and that the world is better off without them, Lynch relents and shoots the wall instead. The mission concludes and Team 7 goes home by helicopter.
As the ride goes on, John Lynch thinks very deeply about everything that happened since they got exposed to the chemical agent. He realizes that they were exposed to genetic altering elements and wonders if he and his teammates were nothing more than lab rats for International Operations (IO)…
Quality
John Lynch in the presence of his traitorous superiors following the East African operation.If there is anything notable here apart from the continued dark and gritty tone, the plot really thickened clearly. At this stage, it is more obvious that the superiors have indeed something more sinister planned for Team 7 to endure. They know that the infected team members are closing ranks to protect itself which means they are ready for the so-called final test.
Along the way, John Lynch gradually realizes the evil of his superiors and being the field leader, he begins to analyze what is best for him and his teammates and which options to take knowing the betrayal from above. Quitting is simply not an option for Lynch and the pressure builds up as the story went on. Cole Cash here sees things very clearly and he easily became the pathfinder among Team 7 members. When he scolds his teammate Fairchild (father of Gen13’s Caitlin Fairchild) for abusing his power in a public place while off-duty, it is clear that Cash wants to keep the team together by means of keeping together while maintaining sanity.
As for Team 7 itself, there is something intriguing that awaits readers once they start their new mission here. I won’t spoil it and it has to be seen. Simply grab a copy of this comic book, read it and pay attention to the details. It’s strong stuff from the creative team.
Conclusion
Cole Cash (Grifter) talks sense into John Lynch about what has really been going on and why they have become monsters.Team 7 #3 (1994) has a lot of intrigue as the plot thickened. At this stage, it is clear that IO is really up to no good and Team 7 is symbolically their scientific and military experiment. Fortunately for the team, they have John Lynch and Cole Cash as the reasonable members who are able to cut through the noise and became aware of what IO has been executing. The stage is set for the concluding issue and this comic book is indeed a solid build-up and also an engaging WildStorm read.
Overall, Team 7 #3 (1994) is recommended.

#Trans & #Intersex #History #Africa — Digital Archive
"It is important that we as #African trans, #gender diverse and intersex people speak for ourselves" — #VictorMukasa
"This statement by one of Trans & Intersex History Africa’s (TIHA) founders, Victor Mukasa, speaks to the rationale behind the TIHA digital archive, the history of trans, gender diverse and intersex movements in Africa, and the importance of archiving our histories/herstories/theirstories.
Supporting advocacy and movement building through archiving
We document events and important moments in a digital archive in the form of a visual timeline, as well as audio and video interviews as experienced and remembered by activists on the African Continent and within the #AfricanDiaspora.
As is the case worldwide, the anti-gender, conservative, #TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) rhetoric continues to gain strength and influences government policies, law and public sentiment, which impacts trans, gender diverse and intersex people’s lived realities and their fundamental human rights. We believe that the Trans & Intersex History in Africa (#TIHA) digital archive can contribute to the efforts of organisations, specifically those who cannot publicise their work due to threat of financial and legal consequences (which includes one of our founding partners), to ensure that trans, gender diverse and intersex existence and lived experience is recorded. This record will play a part in ensuring the collaborative strength of the African movements in combating the anti-trans, anti-gender-diverse and anti-intersex sentiment on the continent and in the African diaspora.
The TIHA digital archive acknowledges the existence of multiple movements, networks, groups and individuals and that the stories to be told are intersectional and carry various voices to form histories/herstories/theirstories. We are making a start with the information currently available but invite stories in whatever media to be submitted from across the continent and from the many places and voices not yet represented.
While we are in a continuous process of rethinking this important work, we invite you to engage with the information that the TIHA digital archive and Trans & Intersex Archival Conversations present. Get involved! Reach out! You can list your organisation/group, share your stories through the Timeline or through the Talk Show by getting in touch with us. We particularly invite first person stories and can facilitate the sharing of these in various languages."

an #Eritrean #cyclist has made #history at this year's Tour de #France. Biniam #Girmay has become the first #Black #African to win a stage during the famous #race.
Celebrating the moment, the 24-year-old rider dedicated his stage 3 #victory to "the continent of Africa."

Family of #AfroIndigenous #activist in immigration detention worries he may be deported back to danger
Story by Nicole Acevedo
6-25-2024"#ErlinCenteno's family has feared being permanently separated since the father of three children was detained four months ago following a routine check-in with #immigration authorities in New York City.
"The lives of Centeno and his family were endangered after four of his cousins were killed and he started receiving many letters and text messages containing death threats, according to court transcripts obtained by NBC News of his testimony to an immigration judge. The threats were a result of the work he and his cousins did defending the territorial rights of Afro Indigenous communities in his homeland known as #Garifuna, according to Centeno and his wife.
[...]
"The Garifuna people are descendants of enslaved #Africans, and also #Arawak and #Caribbean #Indigenous communities who have historically been displaced from their ancestral lands. Many of them remain in #Guatemala, #Nicaragua and #Belize — but most of them are in #Honduras, where they face high levels of violence, #racism and extreme poverty, according to the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights (IACHR).
"#Centeno started advocating for #GarifunaRights in 2020, working with the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras, one of the most prominent Garifuna nonprofits in Honduras. According to an #IACHR report, their members have long been harassed, threatened, beaten, kidnapped and killed amid land grabbing and territorial disputes involving industries with high economic interests in the region — which has intensified as local #investors have sought to #develop the area — as well as local gangs fighting over territories."

"hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for #racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. #Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the #world, they were #enslaved because it was #economically rewarding and #politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <#oppressed #group> did this major #catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the #ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black #people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)"

A 🧵 about my paper. Through the sacrament of #confession, I try to reconstruct #enslaved agency in the #EarlyModern 🇫🇷 #Caribbean & show that slaves were attentive to tensions between #Church & State.
#Confession was an opportunity to interact with a recognized authority (priests) under the seal of secrecy & away from the vigilance of plantation staff.
Slaves used silence & loquacity as strategies in dealing with the priests.And what if #sins trespassed into legal #crimes & elicited a punishment beyond spiritual atonement?
A 1777 Reglèment envisaged public penance for #marronage, poisoning & abortion. Selected slaves would be appointed vergers, wear a surplice & a cassock & monitor the church doors & the arrangement of people inside it.
For #missionaries: Reglèment→obedience.
But #enslaved #Africans may have seen it as a brake to planters’ violence, & a way to shape a sense of shared identity by co-identifying “sinners” & co-enacting punishment.
