History

The Four Winds is a global crime syndicate with 20,000 members, an organization that is structured like a corporation with a board. Its original four leaders were assassinated by Deadpool. It was active in Kobe (Japan), but expanded or relocated operations to New York City, United States. Higashi inherited the syndicate.

The organization is involved in real estate development in the northeastern U.S., forcibly evicting people.. The Four Winds made enemies of Taskmaster, Agent X, and Outlaw who defeated the syndicate's men and the half-dozen supervillains they hired. When Higashi formed an uneasy true with the heroes, in part because of their mutual concern for Sandi Brandenberg, Kita, the disgruntled leader of the Northern Wind faction hired a pair of assassins who try to kill Higashi. The attempt was stopped by Agent X and Taskmaster, who had been hired to temporarily serve as Higashi's bodyguards. When Higashi next saw Kita he remarked that he needed to have a talk with him, hinting to Agent X that this may be a coded message for having Kita killed.
