I'm sure you all know who the GEATHJERK are.
They appeared- what is it, 47 years ago now?- wielding technology far beyond anything that humanity possessed. Their arrival was not a peaceful one, and they began attacking humanity. The battles were long and hard, but eventually, humanity drove the GEATHJERK away, winning what they later called Earth Defense War One.
Why did they call it Earth Defense War One? Because, 20 years later, the GEATHJERK returned, with even more advanced technology. Fortunately for humanity, all of the world's governments had a secret weapon. They had created the CENTINELS organization, a secret planetary defense force (granted, by the time EDW2 was over, everyone and their brother knew what CENTINELS was). They were in charge of humanity's last line of defense- a 100-man superhero team. The Wonderul 100. Hand-picked for their strengh, courage, intelligence, and above, teamwork, the Wonderful 100 fought back the GEATHJERK better than any weapon ever could. In the end,however, it took a brave sacrifice by one man to end EDW2.
20 years after that (dang, the GEATHJERK had amazing timing!), Earth Defense War Three began. The new, more prepared Wonderful 100 fought even more valiantly than the original, and made it the point that no other earthling could- they made it to the ruler of the GEATHJERK federation- Supreme Overlord Jergingha. Along with new allies they had met along the way, and a brand-new 101st member, Jergingha was finally bested. The Guild of Evil Aliens Terrorizing Humans with Jiggawatt bombs, Energy Beams, Ray guns and Killer lasers was finally destroyed.
However, in the process, Jergingha had revealed GEATHJERK's purpose to the Wonderful 100- they had come from a future were mankind had conquered the known universe and become evil, so they went back througn time to ensure that the nightmare never begun. With this knowledge, CENTINELS decided to avoid contact with extraterrestrial beings at all costs, thereby limiting their chances of forming the Greater Glactic Coalition that would cause so much trouble in the future. With Earth essentially cutting itself off from any galactic activity, the now Wonderful 101 was largely disbanded, only to be used in case of a massive human military threat.
However, something big is coming. And Earth needs a savior.
It needs a hero.
It needs...
(cue triumphant fanfare)
Red: "The Wonderful..."
All: "102!"
I know we keep forgetting you, but we need you more than ever.
