The Next Wave
A trio of elite and arrogant mercenaries, the Next Wave was formerly in the employ of
Penner Security Associates, one of the world's most respected private security forms. However,
the members of the Next Wave thought they deserved more money and the option to decline any
assignments they felt weren't challenging enough. When Mr. Penner declined the offer, the trio
left PSA. One of their number, Turk, became quite agitated and opened fire on the PSA estate.
This quickly led to a mindless brawl than ended quite promptly when Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and
the Beast handily defeated the Next Wave.
Some months later, the Next Wave reappeared in New York. They had been pursued across the globe
by a group called the Posse. Finally Agent-X discovered that PSA had sent the Posse after them
to avenge the insult of their departure. After significant property damage, the Next Wave caught
the attention of Wolverine and Ghost Rider again, who beat the crap out of them. Ghost Rider gave
them the bonus prize: the Penance Stare. They have not been seen since.
Using the Next Wave in your Campaign: The Next Wave are almost certainly still plying thier
trade: destruction. They could be hired to eliminate your characters or, more interestingly, may
try to recruit some or all of them into their own organization.

proficient skills in battle prompt his teammates to keep him around. He is quite terrified of
