The Bloody Spades

The Bloody Spades are gang of drug dealers who hold the highest respect of all the gangs currently in New York. Besides drug dealing, they have shares in gun smuggling, racketeering, and a new branch just emerging...Super Human Control.

Early Years
The Bloody Spades started off as as small group of individuals who would frequently rob stores and banks. Before they were known, many other gangs used them for their schemes and left them to take the fall if they were caught. The Spades didn't care though, they were just happy to be in the thick of it, and never gave away their employer's names.

After a few more years, the Spades decided they needed a leader. A young member by the name of Sylvester Statham took hold of the position. He led the Spades out of the dark and into a new glorious career of higher living.

Heroic Age
The Spades flourished under Statham's leadership, gaining them top gang in all of New York. However, they did not count on the super powers coming into the picture. The gang's rackets were constantly stopped, their smuggling runs interuppted, and their members being either killed or severally wounded.

The Spades decided to run one more attempt to get their name back...destroy the area around Ground Zero! Several heroes intervened, and a gigantic battle took place, leaving the Spades weakened. They are still strong however, and are quickly recovering.

The Storm of the Century
The Spades, realizing if New York was destroyed, they would be out of bussiness, helped with the evacuation and rescue attempts any way they could. For their heroic actions, the were granted temporary amnesty.
