Set in 1986, towards the end of the Cold War, this series focuses on a secret government operation with an unusual, but oddly familiar, team of action fighters. As you quickly discover, the motley team is comprised of Image super-heroes, from the days before they attained supernatural powers or joined up with teams such as Youngblood.

Operation Knightstrike gives us a rare glance at the close but doomed friendship between Bruce Stinson (a.k.a. Chapel) and Al Simmons, who later became Spawn. A frighteningly determined Colonel John Stone (Battlestone) rounds them up, together with Jake Holland (a.k.a. Dutch) and Peter Frehley, for their first dangerous mission—rescuing sensitive government documents from Russian forces in war-torn Afghanistan.
