| * **The Fightin' Five** has its last case in Iran when it conducts a disastrous operation against the Mars Council, an arms-smuggling operation. The deaths some team members are caused by Bernard Spielman and Donald Pierce, leaders in the Mars Council. //Note: Little has been revealed about this last disastrous case of the Fightin' Five, but it is strongly hinted that some or most of the members of the team at this time die. The only members of the team definitely known to survive are Capt. Hank Hennessy and Antonio "Granite" Gallero. It is probable that Frenchy the Fox, Tom-Tom, and Sonja are killed in this mission. Hennessy spends the next decade in retirement until being recruited in 1985 to lead a team of metahumans under the LAW (Living Assault Weapons) program of CHESS (Command for the Hindrance of Espionage, Sabotage and Subversion) and in 1987 he is recruited to head up operations of the new Thunder Squad for THUNDER (The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves). Gallero, meanwhile, in 1974 joins Italy's counter-terrorist division, NOCS (Nucleo Operativo Centrale di Sicurezza, or the Central Security Operations Service), and Hennessy recruits him in 1987 to become the field leader of the Thunder Squad for THUNDER.// ["[[http://www.5earths.info/earth-4/law1985-01-3/|L.A.W.: Living Assault Weapons, Chapter 3: The Target]]"] | * **The Fightin' Five** has its last case in Iran when it conducts a disastrous operation against the Mars Council, an arms-smuggling operation.

| * Nanako Kuri, a young woman who is the last student of martial arts master Tetsuro Tanaka (Tiger/Judomaster II), debuts in Japan as the action-heroine **[[Tyger]]**. //Note: Although the date of Tyger's debut has not yet been confirmed, we believe it coincides with the 1977 Modern Comics reprint of the Judomaster series. Tanaka is 46 years old and retired from crimefighting at this time, only acting as Tyger's sensei and giving her advice during her cases. Tyger's action-heroine name is likely inspired by William Blake's poem, "The Tyger." Kuri is the granddaughter of Gen. Shimachi Kuri, known during World War II as the Tiger of Tokyo, and who was captured by U.S. Marines during the war (see "The Tiger of Tokyo," Marine War Heroes #14). Kuri herself is a woman of two worlds, since she grew up in both Japan and the United States, where she received much of her education. In 1980, Tyger becomes a founding member of Femme Force One.// ["[[http://www.5earths.info/earth-2/jsa-tp1982-01/|Justice Society of America: Times Past, 1982: Crisis on Earth-Four]]"] | * Nanako Kuri, a young woman who is the last student of martial arts master Tetsuro Tanaka (Tiger/Judomaster II), debuts in Japan as the action-heroine **[[Tyger]]**. //Note: Although the date of Tyger's debut has not yet been confirmed, we believe it coincides with the 1977 Modern Comics reprint of the Judomaster series.
