Technet

Technet was a group of alien mercenaries which would later become the Special Executive. (COMIC: Sid's Story)

Behind the scenes

The Technet group was created by Alan Davis for Marvel Comics in 1985.

The team were first referenced in Law and Disorder, a comic from the second issue of Captain Britain Volume 2, with the team's leader Gatecrasher - and her telepathic pet lizard Yap - making their debut in the next issue's story Flotsam and Jetsam. The fourth issue's comic Sid's Story introduced the entire first incarnation of the Technet team including; Fascination, Thug, Ferro, Elmo, Ringtoss, Pandora and Paradok. Both Fascination and Ringtoss were later revealed to be earlier versions of the Special Executive members seen in The Daredevils' Executive Action, while Thug was the brother of another member Legion. Alarms and Excurisons would later depict a storyline where most of the Technet roster joined the Special Executive.
