Fictional Biography
The Triumph Division is the premier super group of the Philippines. In the Philippines, super hero names are passed down from generation to generation along familial lines. The members of the Triumph Division train from birth to eventually assume the mantle of their predecessor.[1] One incarnation of the Triumph Division was recently killed during a terror attack perpetrated by agents of Ezekiel Stane disguised as monks.[2] Iron Man, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., attended the funeral of one of the Triumph Division members, as did Thor. Weeks later, Iron Man visited the new Triumph Division at the Triumph Hall, the successors of those killed in the suicide bombing, after which he declared that "the Philippines are in good hands."
