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.

Ho conosciuto il maggiore Temple, che era sceso in paracadute nelle Langhe
Il maggiore Temple e Enrico Martini (Mauri). Fonte: Casa della Memoria di Vinchio cit. infraNell’estate del 1944 le Langhe sono, di fatto, controllate dai partigiani: Mauri forma due divisioni autonome, la prima comandata da Mario Bogliolo e la seconda da Poli, mentre Nanni organizza i suoi uomini nella VI divisione Garibaldi.
Attorno a Canelli agisce la 78° brigata Garibaldi di Primo Rocca e nell’acquese opera la 79° brigata garibaldina di Pietro Minetti Mancini.
È la grande stagione della Resistenza, quando l’avanzata alleata dal Sud e la crescente forza dei partigiani diffondo l’illusione che la guerra possa vittoriosamente finire prima dell’inverno.
Mentre i garibaldini danno vita a esperienze di autogoverno democratico locale in molti centri delle Langhe, Mauri progetta e realizza l’occupazione di Alba, che avviene il 10 ottobre. […] La prima missione alleata che giunge nelle Langhe è quella comandata dal Maggiore Neville Lawrence Darewski detto Temple.
Nato a Londra il 21 maggio 1914, figlio del compositore di origine polacca Herman Darewski e dell’attrice Madge Temple, ufficiale del Royal Army Ordnance Corps dal marzo 1940, il Maggiore è il responsabile del nucleo SOE destinato al Piemonte. Paracadutato ad Igliano, nell’Alta Langa il 7 agosto 1944, Temple incontra a Torino i vertici della Resistenza piemontese e compie ricognizioni operative nelle valli cuneesi.
Al suo ritorno nelle Langhe si attiva con Piero Balbo Poli per costruire un piccolo aeroporto partigiano a Vesime.
Nella tarda estate del 1944, il Maggiore Darewski [Temple] venne paracadutato tra i partigiani, in quel momento organizzati in due formazioni, una comandata da Mauri (Autonomi) e una comandata da Nanni (Garibaldini) […].
Tra i vari compiti svolti, […] il Maggiore organizzò i partigiani, pianificò aiuti aerei e lanci e costruì una pista di atterraggio per i Lysander a Vesime a Val Bormida di Millesio.
Casa della Memoria della Resistenza e della Deportazione di VinchioUna volta in Langa, Mauri non tardò a riavere in pugno la situazione. Già il 6 agosto accolse la Missione paracadutata del maggiore inglese “Temple” (che si spostò poi al Pino di Baracco e sulla Tura, dove avvennero numerosi aviolanci di materiali raccolti e smistati dal distaccamento di Beppe Milano, un tenente fariglianese esperto e volitivo, reduce di Russia e allora capo di un gruppo di bravi ragazzi di Mondovì e dintorni, fra i quali saliva spesso don Beppe Bruno).
Una pista d’atterraggio e decollo per altre missioni alleate e per l’invio di feriti in ospedali in zone dell’Italia già liberata fu realizzata nel cuore della Langa, a Vesime. Dalla val Ellero partirono [n.d.r.: con uno dei tre gruppi in cui si divise, per rientrare facendo un’ultima tappa a Pigna in provincia di Imperia nelle linee alleate, la Missione Flap] , a fine settembre, il professore villanovese Giovanni Bessone e l’avv. Augusto Astengo per riferire, dopo un viaggio molto avventuroso, al Governo legittimo la situazione del sud Piemonte.Trovarono parecchie diffidenze; ma Bessone riuscì a infilarci, di suo, un sollecito al principe Umberto perché si trasferisse al Nord.
Redazione, Mondovì e il Monregalese in lotta per la libertà, Unione Monregalese, 21 aprile 2015Nell’agosto ’44 erano attive ben 4 missioni italiane, con 13 agenti italiani; 9 missioni britanniche con 16 agenti britannici; 13 italiani in missioni britanniche. In Piemonte, le comandava il maggiore “Temple”, missione “Flap”. Cfr. M. BERRETTINI, op. cit., p. 38. “Temple” (Neville Darewsky), classe 1914, ufficiale dell’esercito inglese, morì il 15 novembre 1944 in un incidente a Marsaglia (CN). Era stato paracadutato tra le formazioni di Mauri il 6-7 agosto 1944. Ebbe importanti incontri con il Cmrp; a lui si deve l’idea della costruzione dell’aeroporto di Vesime (AT); qui giunsero Stevens e Ballard, gli ufficiali dello Soe che lo sostituirono.

Missioni inglesi e Organizzazione Franchi a Crescentino, in “l’impegno”, n. 2, dicembre 2016, Istituto per la storia della Resistenza e della società contemporanea nel Biellese, nel Vercellese e in ValsesiaIl 20 ottobre 1944 il comandante Nino Siccardi “Curto” con la scorta di 5 partigiani tornò momentaneamente ad Upega per procedere alla messa in salvo anche dei patrioti feriti che là erano rimasti.
[…] Nei primi giorni di permanenza a Fontane avvenne l’incontro tra “Curto” ed il maggiore inglese Temple (Darewski): “Curto” chiese un consistente aiuto militare per le sue formazioni: la riunione si concluse, tuttavia, con un nulla di fatto.
Rocco Fava di Sanremo (IM), La Resistenza nell’Imperiese. Un saggio di regestazione della documentazione inedita dell’Istituto Storico della Resistenza e dell’Età Contemporanea di Imperia (1 gennaio – 30 Aprile 1945) – Tomo I, Tesi di Laurea, Università degli Studi di Trieste, Anno Accademico 1998-1999Ho conosciuto il maggiore Temple, capo della missione delle Special Forces presso le formazioni autonome Mauri; era sceso il 7 agosto 1944 in paracadute sul campo di Igliano nelle Langhe. L’ho visto, per la prima volta, poco dopo il suo arrivo, nel castello di Ciglié dove si era sistemato con la sua missione e dove io avevo la mia base quando mi recavo presso le formazioni Mauri.
Già nel gennaio precedente avevo avuto modo di apprezzare l’efficenza della collaborazione tra gli Alleati e le formazioni partigiane italiane; è di quell’epoca il mio ansioso ascolto di radio Londra che doveva preannunciare, con la frase convenuta: «Arrivano i capitani», il lancio di materiale alla formazione autonoma del capitano Cosa nell’alta valle Pesio a quota 1800 metri; avevo visto i famosi Sten e l’esplosivo plastico che dalla valle portavo a Cuneo, distante una ventina di chilometri, con i relativi detonatori e micce, per essere destinato ai gruppi di sabotatori a Torino.
Ma l’arrivo del maggiore Temple rappresentava qualcosa di più: era arrivato tra noi un ambasciatore e un addetto militare del governo inglese e degli Alleati, era il riconoscimento ufficiale e tangibile della legittimità della nostra lotta; con lui diventavamo cobelligeranti.
Il maggiore Temple sentì profondamente – e ce ne fece sentire partecipi – questa nostra legittimazione: tutta la sua, purtroppo breve, presenza tra di noi fu improntata dalla consapevolezza di trovarsi tra amici, di essere un soldato tra soldati e un uomo tra uomini.
Io lo ricordo così a Ciglié: robusto ma agile, bruno di capelli e abbronzato, sotto i grossi occhiali gli occhi brillanti ed espressivi, di temperamento cordiale e comunicativo, sempre allegro. Ha già conosciuto, nel corso di diverse sue missioni, i partigiani di altre nazioni e sa come farsi voler bene. Non parla perfettamente l’italiano ma si fa capire e capisce e intuisce tutto. A Ciglié, nel momenti liberi, simpatizza con tutti, inventa il “toto-Liberazione”, lanciando una moneta per aria e scommettendo al gioco di testa e croce. A me consegna metà biglietto da dieci lire (che conservo ancora) quale eventuale mezzo di riconoscimento nei messaggi. Amava guidare le automobili, anche l’autoblinda che il tenente Ippolito aveva catturato ai tedeschi. Con Mauri raggiunse, dopo una settimana dal suo arrivo, le formazioni della valle Pesio e da lì le formazioni Giustizia e libertà in valle Stura e nelle valli Grana e Gesso; a Demonte e a Valdieri conosce e si fa conoscere dai comandanti e dai rappresentanti politici.
Ha grande considerazione per il CLN piemontese; ciò lo induce ad affrontare un avventuroso viaggio a Torino, dove conosce, tra il 28 ottobre e il 4 novembre 1944, tutti gli esponenti dei partiti e delle formazioni militari della Resistenza, nonché importanti esponenti della industria torinese.
In breve tempo ha conquistato la stima, l’ammirazione, la simpatia di tutti, compresi gli esponenti delle formazioni Garibaldi.
Ma arrivano momenti tristi e dolorosi.
Alla sera del 12 novembre 1944 i nazifascisti iniziano un attacco – grande per vastità e territorio e per mezzi impiegati – nelle Langhe dove, in pieno giorno, era stato paracadutato ai partigiani molto materiale bellico, ma purtroppo non i cannoni che Temple aveva chiesto. Il giorno 15 Ciglié rischia l’accerchiamento e la missione inglese al completo sale su un camioncino, di quelli che hanno il cassone scoperto; in cabina l’autista e l’interprete; io, Temple e gli inglesi, tutti in divisa, seduti sul materiale nel cassone scoperto.
Ci dirigiamo a Marsaglia, sentiamo scoppiare le bombe da mortaio sempre più vicine: i nemici avevano sfondato le nostre linee di difesa in più punti. A Marsaglia Temple aveva alcune cose da sbrigare; salta giù dal camion e va al magazzino della prima divisione Langhe. Quando esce viene trattenuto a lungo da un comandante partigiano; noi sul camion l’aspettiamo, ansiosi di ripartire; attorno non c’era più nessuno.
Erano circa le dieci del mattino. Il nostro camion era fermo all’angolo di uno spiazzo, sulla nostra sinistra un muro a secco, poco più avanti iniziava una stretta stradina che, in discesa, curvava per uscire dal paese. Lo richiamiamo parecchie volte, siamo impazienti a causa delle esplosioni sempre più vicine. Il camion inizia a muoversi lentamente e Temple, che era atletico e agile pur nella sua robustezza, correndo raggiunge la fiancata sinistra del cassone. Si aggrappa con le mani al bordo e cerca di spiccare un salto verso l’interno.
Restò appeso a mezz’aria davanti alla ruota posteriore e non poté più muoversi.
L’autista era stato costretto a spostarsi a sinistra, verso il muro a secco, poiché dalla parte opposta stava sopraggiungendo dalla curva contromano un carro trainato da buoi con un carico di paglia.
Temple rimane schiacciato tra il muro e la fiancata del camion, fece due giri su se stesso e cadde a terra.
Nel mio ricordo, rivedo i suoi occhi sbarrati dal dolore.
Lo portammo a Murazzano; l’ospedale e l’intero paese erano nel caos, stavano evacuando i feriti. Temple chiede notizie sulla battaglia in corso a Mauri, il quale ci offre un’automobile per proseguire per l’ospedale di Cortemilia, località decentrata e più sicura.
Temple stava male, era grave; «Lussia – così mi chiamava – ho sete» erano le sue uniche parole; ogni tanto ci fermavamo a riempire la bottiglia di acqua.
All’ospedale di Cortemilia fecero di tutto per salvarlo, ma nonostante le cure, alle ore 14 dello stesso giorno 15 novembre 1944 cessò di vivere per emorragia interna.
La sua salma fu trasferita al Sud con lo stesso aereo, sceso al campo di Vesime (che lui aveva ideato e voluto). L’aereo aveva trasportato tra di noi la nuova missione inglese del colonnello Stevens e del maggiore Ballard, che parteciparono alla liberazione del Piemonte.

Most #US citizens don't realize that we have multiple armies (#Army, #Marines), air forces (#AirForce, #Navy), #SpecialForces (#Rangers, #GreenBeret, #EOD, #Seals, etc.), navies (Navy, #CoastGuard), and two militaries (#CIA; all the above, plus more).
More relevant considering the situation in #Russia.
It's wasteful in its redundancy but maybe makes it more difficult to mount an overt #military #coup.
But they've kinda done it quietly.
