Guardian Rap Sheet

 

 

As you get more familiar with the Guardians, you start to appreciate why their training program is so intensive. Just imagine the scenarios they have to deal with. Earthquakes, tornados, and other natural disasters. Acts of international terrorism. Perils from the deepest reaches of space. Things that are as wide-ranging as they are diverse.

 

Therefore you can appreciate, it is essential their expertise encompasses as wide a range of skills and abilities as possible, so they can offer the fullest assistance at the scene of whatever incident they attend.

 

Of course, it's very rare for anyone to possess absolutely everything required to deal with every imaginable situation. That's why the orbital stations and ground command centres employ various teams (Alpha Response & Bravo Response) with as wide a skill set as possible. 

 

But how do the commanders know who to select?

That's easy.

They use a thing called a Rap Sheet

 

 

As you can see, the computerised front screen conveys an instant précis that allows supervisors to assess who has the right blend of skills to enhance their squad.

Every guardian has one, and by selecting the right candidate for the right team, Guardian Command ensure they remain in a position to offer as thorough a service as possible.

 

In future weeks I will feature some of the better known characters so you can get more of an idea as to what makes them tick. And, I'll provide similar details about certain members of the Council.

After all, just how much of a threat can they be?
