The Elect are aware, but the rest of the world needs to recognize its faults, before it falls. These heroes are here to provide that protection, beginning as casino heist-artists known as the Munificent 6, they eventually become the Eminent Gentelmen Ten or EGX. The dark horse, though, is Franco Shaddix - and while he vaguely knows John Homme - the two will have to team up with many other heroes in the end times as Stuporboy and Johnny Honesty.
