The Liberators was originally a group founded in 1981 during the height of the Cold War by a heroine named [[Vortex Storm]]. The original purpose of the group was to assist in sabotage and underground efforts against the USSR in an nationalistic effort to combat communism. The Liberators reached the peak of their existence in 1989 when they participated in the ongoing revolutions by the Soviet Union's satellite states to break away from the controlling socialist regime. From their inception, their primary goal was to spark and fan the flames of revolution, to influence said countries to accepting a more capitalistic society with the possibility of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group was largely independent and operated covertly to aid efforts to undermine the Soviet Union's power; the Liberators was aptly named by Vortex Storm who believed that it was an American duty to fight and release territories of the Warsaw Pact from the Soviet sphere of influence. This was partly influenced by the fact that Vortex Storm was a young Chinese woman whose grandparents had participated in the Chinese Civil War of 1927-1950, on the losing side of the Republic of China, which was overtaken and defeated by the communist People's Republic of China in 1950. Her grandparents and and parent's cultural legacy stemming from it resulted in an utter hatred of all things communist, which eventually culminated in her patriotic suit and cape, as well as the primary objective of the Liberators. | The Liberators was originally a group founded in 1981 during the height of the Cold War by a heroine named [[Vortex Storm]].

With the official dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990s, the original Liberators became less relevant. Vortex Storm continued to assign the team missions, but her like-minded teammates began to express displeasure and even nostalgia at the lack of a unified, organized opponent to subvert. The Liberators' mission then changed to a mercenary layout afterwards (their primary sponsor dropped them after deeming them no longer needed) in order to make ends meet, and moved to Millennium City to continue its operations; their primary purpose was to serve the hero community and tackle organized crime, a mission that is still one of the core objectives of the Modern Age Liberators today. Vortex Storm later retired from the team, choosing to trade the stability and calmness of civilian life for her old hero career, she had decided that the Liberators no longer was needed. Many other members did the same. | With the official dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990s, the original Liberators became less relevant.

PRIMUS later decided to appoint another commander to the team in order to keep it from being disbanded, however this person did not last long in their position before being killed, causing a heavy drop in morale and the remaining personnel to leave. By the time Tony Griffins was appointed the third commander in 2011, the group was reduced to only 6 registered members. The Liberators experienced a brief surge in activity and seemed to stabilize, but a mission gone awry in late 2011 resulted in the death of the executive officer at the time, also leaving the team traumatized. A final sharp decline in morale was the death knell to the Liberators and caused their dissolution for the next few years. Griffins resigned from PRIMUS to work amongst mercenaries for some time. | PRIMUS later decided to appoint another commander to the team in order to keep it from being disbanded, however this person did not last long in their position before being killed, causing a heavy drop in morale and the remaining personnel to leave.

Newly inspired and with restored vigor, Tony Griffins came back to PRIMUS in January 2013 and was granted permission to reform and reinstate the Liberators. This time, new policies and a charter were drafted in an effort to consolidate the organization. The methods of operation were changed as well, and the scope of the Liberator's operations were redirected to assisting Millennium City, the United States and on occasion international issues present around the globe. The organization was classed as a non-profit, specialized tactics and weapons squad meant to assist the civilian population as well as private individuals or corporations in curbing organized crime. | Newly inspired and with restored vigor, Tony Griffins came back to PRIMUS in January 2013 and was granted permission to reform and reinstate the Liberators.

− | The colors of the Liberators were changed. Originally the Liberators were heavily United States-centric and patriotic, having red, white, and blue as their colors. Though Griffins was a hot-blooded American himself, he decided that the previous color scheme was somewhat jingoistic, and removed the blue to create the modern day color scheme of the organization: Red and white. | + | The colors of the Liberators were changed.
