Blademaster, Cannon, Comanche, Pagan, Prism and Undertow were dismissed, with lifetime U.N.-provided salary and accommodations. Undertow is killed soon after.

Alternate universe Stormwatch

In the Bleed storyline,[1] Stormwatch observed events unfold on a parallel Earth that had never been visited by the Daemonites or Kherubim. In this universe, Battalion had been removed from Stormwatch after a catastrophic attack on the Skywatch space station and was replaced as Weatherman by Jack Hawksmoor, with Synergy retaining her position as second-in-command. Jack's bodyguard and personal assistant was Freefall of Gen13, going by her real name Roxanne Spaulding. His maid in the United States was Anna, Gen13s domestic android. He commanded a version of Stormwatch employing twenty-three super-powered beings with twenty field operatives divided into five teams.
