Global Guardians

The Global Guardians are a team of superheroes whose members hail from countries around the world.

They first came together to defeat an alien villain called Grax (an old Superman foe). Grax had planted bombs on Earth's seven continents to destroy it. Thanks to a warning from the Wonder Twins the SuperFriends discovered the plan in time and recruited the heroes of the countries affected to find the bombs before they exploded. These international heroes would later appear in other issues of SuperFriends comicbook.

It wasn't until 1982 that they were introduced as a team, in a story in which they helped Superman to stop an evil sorcerer.
