Amerika Korps
Overview
The Amerika Korps are the Nazi equivalent of the Freedom Phalanx.
History
The Amerika Korps is an elite super powered hero organization that helped preserve Nazi rule over the former United States in a dimension where the Nazis had defeated America. This dimension, known as Axis America, was first discovered by Dr. Brian Webb, a former Freedom Phalanx technician.
When Webb visited Axis America, he was accompanied by members of the Freedom Phalanx. But the leader, a Nazi version of Statesman called Reichsman, learned of these other-worldly interlopers. Presumably with the aid of his Amerika Korps, the Reichsman captured Dr. Webb and his explorers, tortured them to death, and ended up extracting a great deal of data about Webb's home dimension. Data is all well and good, but the Reichsman decided he wanted to see for himself, and so he led Amerika Korps through Webb's dimensional portal and back to Paragon City.
It didn't take long for the super-powered fascists to earn the attention of the Freedom Phalanx. Queen Comet, a prominent member of the Phalanx and friend of Dr. Webb, saw the alternate Statesman come through and, having been briefed by Portal Corp about the world Webb and his escorts were exploring, she quickly called for back-up and bravely fought off the invaders until helped arrived. Although seriously wounded, she managed to hold on until the Statesman and the rest of the Phalanx arrived.
The ensuing battle raged through the Portal Corp laboratories and spilled out into the city streets. The Reichsman was every bit the equal of his all-American counterpart, and the two nearly beat each other into the ground. Fortunately, the rest of the Amerika Korps did not measure up to the Freedom Phalanx (apparently in his world the Reichsman did not take kindly to potential rivals, and thus their training had been somewhat lax). With his henchmen defeated, it was only a matter of time before the evil Statesman fell. It's assumed that the other members of the Amerika Korps have been imprisoned, although this has not been confirmed.
