HISTORY
In 1968, a mysterious person known only as the Mockingbird assembled a team of people he supposedly helped in the past, each an expert in some field. In each case, the Mockingbird had a hold that enforced obedience from the agent. The Secret Six were: Dr. August Durant, government physicist; Carlo di Rienzi, stage magician; Crimson Dawn, fashion model turned actress; King Savage, ace pilot and stunt man; Lili de Neuve, film star and make-up expert; and Mike Tempest, heavyweight boxer. On Mockingbird's orders, the Secret Six battled crime and communism for years, all the time knowing that Mockingbird was actually one of their own. Many years after retiring, the team reunited for one last mission, in which all but di Rienzi perished. Having learned that Mockingbird had in fact been August Durant, di Rienzi decided to become the new Mockingbird and found a modern Secret Six team.
