The Shadow Fighters (comics)
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Shadow Fighters (comics)
The Shadow Fighters were a group of superpowered and non-superpowered DC Comics characters brought together, under the supervision of Amanda Waller, for the sole purpose of battling Eclipso in the Eclipso comic series. Their activity began in issue 11 and ended in issue 13, of that series.
In issue 13 of that series (cover date November 1993), all were killed—though some have since returned to action—by either Eclipso or his minions. Originally, the only survivor from the group was Nemesis. Later survivors were revealed to be Manhunter and The Creeper.
