History
The Defenders are a group of amateur vigilantes who dress up as super-heroes. None of them have superpowers, although they claim to be experienced in crime-fighting. However, the group only interested in becoming celebrities as a self described super-hero team rather than actually going out and stopping crimes or saving lives. Henry Pym is invited to join them, and he accepts, adopting a new identity - Ant-Man. The Defenders are thrilled at the prospect of having an actual superhuman join their team, and convince Pym they are a serious project. Unfortunately, their first mission together was a disaster, and Pym, who wanted to remain out of the spotlight, is forced by the Valkyrie to reveal himself to save them, humiliating himself in the process. Their members include Luke Cage, Hellcat, Nighthawk, Valkyrie, Black Knight, and Son of Satan. They are later joined by Whiz-Kid, a wheelchair bound boy suffering from polio. He claims to have the ability to vary the temperature of certain inorganic materials.
Since then, however, Pym has rejoined the Ultimates, and the Valkyrie currently exhibits powers and skills, along with expertise in swordfighting, some degree of enhanced strength, and is being trained by Thor.
