     Sgt. Mace was a drill instructor in the 1st. Marine Division. A firm believer in strict physical discipline and severe endurance training, Mace was one of the few instructors who could handle any situation. He later worked in the Corps' special forces detachment, operating as a subversive reconnaissance specialist. His best attribute was that he could always be counted on to get the job done! Upon his discharge from the service, he became a valuable addition to the Philadelphia Police Emergency Services Unit and later, an integral part of the COPS team.

" Sgt. Mace goes into action the least of the entire COPS team, simply because the rest of the team is so good at their jobs. Calling in the S.W.A.T. man -- the guy with the heat who actually kicks down doors and enters unknown, hostile environments -- is the absolute last resort of any responsible police unit. "

     Powder Keg never liked being surprised by loud, jarring sounds. When he was just a child, his family thought they were having extremely bad luck with telephones and alarm clocks until they discovered that little Dudley had disconnected all the bells. He holds the Expert E.O.D. Badge from the Army and has been a frequent guest lecturer at the F.B.I. Explosives Course held in the USMC Ordinance School at Quantico, where his book " Defuse by Defeuze " is a required text. Whenever he lectures, he commands strict silence. If anyone utters a sound, no matter how soft, that person or persons face automatic expulsion from the course and one week of solitary confinement!

" He can be a real pest at times, always prowling around Headquarters, turning down radios, oiling squeaky chairs, and muffling the carriage return bells on the office typewriters. Nobody seems to mind his presence whenever a suspicious package is delivered, though. Somebody has to open it, right? "

     Sundown doesn't say much. To him, action speaks louder than words. Sent to quell the Software Riots in Houston back in '98, the city fathers expressed their dismay that the Sheriffs sent only one man. When he arrived, he looked them straight in the eye and said, " You only got but one riot! " On the COPS team, Sundown functions as the chief of operations, another way of saying that he's in charge of the guys who kick down doors.

" The man can shoot! Nothing like that movie-cowboy fanning from the hip stuff -- no sir! We're talkin' two-handed, modified Weaver-stance, breathing control, even trigger squeeze, and the characteristic two-shot, 'double tap' of the trained combat marksman. The kicker is, he can do all that while the bullets are coming at him! "

     After the great earthquake and fire of '98 and the passage of the mandatory Teflon-coated building law, there simply wasn't much call for firefighters in Inferno's hometown.  The COPS however, had an ample need of a brawny individual who was willing to enter burning buildings and chop down doors with an axe.  When the word came down that the COPS were looking for a highly skilled, energetic fireman to join their team, Inferno answered the call faster than someone flicking a butane lighter!  Needless to say, he has been extinguishing the Crooks' criminal sparks ever since!

" Crooks are the last people on Earth to have flimsy doors and locks.  They know better.  Trying to kick open a steel door with a deadbolt lock can only result in a sore foot and give the bad-guys time to make their getaway.  When Inferno uses his tempered-steel, hydraulic power-axe, he can hack through an armored door in less time than it would take to open it with a key! "

      Barricade grew up in a hosehold with eleven brothers and sisters...  and one bathroom!  As the eldest, it was his responsibility to maintain order on school-day mornings when patience grew thin and tempers ran high!  After Barricade joined the Detroit Police during the Motown melees, he amazed his superiors with his calm, no-nonsence manner in dealing with frenzied hordes of screaming gangsters-rights protesters.  They didn't know he had a lifetime of training.

" In most large police departments, crowd control is handled on a 'per-event' basis with personnel drawn from various precincts.  It's considered bad duty and the newest guys usually get stuck with it.  Barricade always volunteered for it.  The brass loved it because with Barricade on the job, the odds were favorable that nothing bad would happen.  He always had control over the roughest situations!

      Inspector Vess came so close to putting the Big Boss away with a federal indictment that he got gunned down in an alley by some of the Boss' henchmen for his efforts.  Thanks to 21st century micro-surgery and cybernetics, Bullet-Proof was back on his feet with a stainless steel torso and a grudge the size of the national debt.  He doesn't let his determination to put away the Big Boss cloud his legendary deductive powers or compromise his position as founder of the COPS organization and chief of investigations for the team.

" He's 'bullet-proof' all right!  He's also shock-resistant and watertight to 200 meters!  His mind's like a Swiss watch, a premier criminologist, able to quickly and systematically determine the who, what, when, where, and hows of cases.  Maybe that's why he's such a good detective!  He lines up all those facts and clues like columns of figures in an accountant's ledger and makes them all balance out!
