OVERVIEW
Sponsored by the neo-Nazi group called the Aryan Nation, the meta-human Aryan Brigade was part of a plan to commit genocide on all non-Caucasian citizens of the United States. Members included: Backlash (who had elastic, whip-like arms); Blind Faith (a female blind psychic and seer), Golden Eagle II (equipped with an exo-skeleton and artificial wings), Heatmonger (a flame thrower), and Iron Cross (who had strength on near-Superman level). The group was opposed and defeated by a Justice League Task Force. They later returned as members of the Overmaster's second Cadre, but were again defeated. Golden Eagle and Heatmonger later appeared as part of a Suicide Squad team.
Backlash recently showed up in Arizona along with three new members, but were defeated by the Freedom Fighters.
