The '''Marauders''' are one of the most notorious and dangerous supervillain teams of the Silver Age. Based in [[Crucible:Unity City|Unity City]], the group was formed by [[Crucible:Mesmerio|Mesmerio]] after suffering repeated humiliating defeats at the hands of the [[Crucible:Unity League|Unity League]].

Mesmerio eventually came to a simple conclusion: if heroes could unite into teams, then villains should do the same. Together, they could conquer Unity City, defeat the League, and finally enjoy the wealth, fame, and glamorous lifestyles they believed they deserved.

The resulting alliance combined several of the League’s most colorful and dangerous enemies into a single criminal organization.

The Marauders quickly became infamous for elaborate robberies, city-wide attacks, bizarre publicity stunts, and catastrophic battles against the Unity League. Though often chaotic and prone to arguing among themselves, the team’s combined powers made them a constant threat to Unity City throughout the Silver Age.

== Reputation ==

The Marauders became one of the defining villain teams of the Silver Age due to their persistence, flamboyance, and repeated clashes with the [[Crucible:Unity League|Unity League]].

Though the group has been defeated numerous times, they always seem to return with another outrageous scheme, another elaborate robbery, or another attempt to seize control of Unity City.

To many citizens, the Marauders embody the colorful madness of Silver Age supervillainy: dangerous, theatrical, absurd, and impossible to keep locked up for long.
