R.E.B.E.L.S.

R.E.B.E.L.S. '94, R.E.B.E.L.S. '95 and finally R.E.B.E.L.S. '96 is a comic-book series published by DC Comics from 1994 to 1996 and created by Tennessee Peyer.

It featured a team of ex-lawmen on the run from their former peace-keeping organization. It was led by the ruthless Vril Dox and included but was not limited to, Strata, Borb Borbb, Stealth and Lobo. An alien telepath, who went by the name -of- 'Telepath' was unwillingly part of the team. At first Telepath was imprisoned but was later let free and assists the team.

Vril Dox's insane, super-smart toddler son had taken over Dox's organization and turning it into a ruthless, brainwashing dictatorship. The group escapes the coup in a semi-sentient ship that runs off literal brain power.

Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, guest-starred in the first issue and was manipulated into killing some of the group's pursuers.

Vril would confront his ex-girlfriend Ignea, who wields flame powers and attempts to burn him to death. John Sin, the leader of a criminal organization called the Blood Circle, causes Vril to become addicted to a certain drug without his knowledge. This was while his shipmates believe he had perished. They learn of rumours of his existence from a doctor who had come to treat Garv, the injured husband to be of Strata. The Blood Circle is taken down and Sin learns Vril simply plans to replicate the drug until he can wean himself off it.

Further conflict is caused by Borb Borbb who does not know how to keep his infautation with Stealth contained appropiately.

Captain Comet would become involved, as he returns to confront what L.E.G.I.O.N. has turned into.
