The Death Commandos are duly constituted agents of the intergalactic Shi'arImperium employed to undertake missions deemed to politically sensitive or controversial for the more public Imperial Guard to preform. Comprised of elite alien mercenaries gathered from all corners of the Empire, the Death Commandos include BlackCloak, the groups tall masked leader with clawed hands and feet who wields a warspear, fires energy beams from his eyes and controls a portal to null-space within the folds of his cloak; Krait, an avian Shi'ar warrior whose finger and wings are tipped with razors-keen battle claws sharp enough to cut through walls; Shell, a massive powerhouse with multi-tentacled liquid rock-like form used to entrap and neutralize any enhanced abilities they possess; Hypernova, who generates solid light weapons - most often throwing daggers, which she wields with deadly skill; Offset, the team's second-in-command, a four-armed, mantis-like carnivorous insectoid with a chitinous exoskeleton who can assimilate her prey's memories by biting off their head and can also lock the superhuman abilities of others into any state she chooses on physical contact; SeGa, a sentient gaseous anomaly resembling a stellar gas cloud who acts as the team's command, coordinator and communication expert and can generate near-impregnable force shields; Warshot, an armored hominid marksman with intuitive target sensing and near-flawless accuracy who wields a rail-gun that can fire rounds at close to the speed of light; Colony, an intelligent insect swarm that strip the flesh off an enemy in under a second and can also eat through steel; Devo, who can devolve his adversaries into earlier evolutionary incarnations of their species; and Flaw of the Warskrulls, Skrulls bioengineered into combat megamorphs capable of emulating superhuman abilities in addition to appearances.
