History

The Squadron Supreme were a group of heroes dedicated to defending the Earth. Under the leadership of Hyperion, the Squadron decided to reveal their secret identities to the public and attempt to use their powers to solve societal problems, such as hunger, crime, war and class inequality.[1]

This, however, led to conflict within the Squadron. Nighthawk believed that the Squadron would never be able to solve the core causes of societal issues, and secretly created the Redeemers to oppose the Squadron. This led to a deadly confrontation which saw the Squadron emerge triumphant, but also cost Nighthawk his life. Following the conflict, Hyperion realized that in trying to solve society's problems, the Squadron Supreme had only become one of them.[1]

This realization came too late, as the world's governments had banded together and created a bomb designed to eliminate the Squadron once and for all. The subsequent attack left Hyperion as the only survivor.[1]

All the deceased members ended up in the Realm of the Dead and a number of their members have since been seen in Mar-Vell's Paradise, aiding the gathered super-beings in fighting off an invasion by the Kree.[1][2]
