<PROFILE>
In the year 19XX, Earth was engulfed in war. Nations pitted against nations, and humans were against humans. Every living thing on the planet was locked in a chaotic battle to acquire each other’s wealth and power.
In the meantime, at the farthest away land of “Ladyland”, there lived a genius biologist named Dr. Jimi (hobby: guitar) who was about to conclude a mad science experiment for a pack of superior creatures that would be called MAN WITH A MISSION (MWAM).
Are they human? Are they wolves?
Their looks may be deceiving and even comical at first glance, but they have incredible brain power and superhuman physique. Such superb abilities enabled them to carry out the planet’s most challenging top secret missions and made them untouchable by the world’s fearsome and powerful leaders including Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, and Ivan the Terrible.
The principality of Zeon had them work in the dark shadows of history in various locations around the world.
Dr. Jimi was plagued by guilt and regret that his creations had contributed to some of the evilest deeds in history and decided to put an end to it. He wanted to ensure that they wouldn’t fall under the spell of evil again, and so he froze them into eternal sleep in a far edge of the world.
Determined not to let his creativity potentially bring more evil into the world, the Doctor burned his guitar. He managed to escape the hands of evil and cheat death again and again, but he couldn’t avoid his destiny. Retribution for his death was to keep MWAM frozen under the glaciers in the South Pole. Jimi’s last words were, “I’ll try getting a straight perm in my next life.”
Time passed by and it was now the year of 2010. The planet had gone through a worldwide economic crisis, numerous political and social tensions across borders, and was slowly being destroyed by pollution induced global warming. The warming and deterioration of the planet then melted the ice caskets that Dr. Jimi had jeopardized his life for. MWAM awoke from their eternal sleep!
Are they working for justice for this world, or are they nothing else but evil?
Either way, MAN WITH A MISSION is now back on missions around the world.
