Not all S/D agents play by the rules – in fact, not many worry about the law at all! Sometimes a Strontium Dog goes too far and ends up becoming the hunted rather than the hunter. Fly’s-Eyes Wagner is such a case in point, going rogue after killing his partner. This was just the beginning of a story that would lead Wagner, Johnny Alpha, Wulf Sternhammer...

The Stix brothers come from an unknown number of apparently identical mutants, all of whom are contracted to the Search/ Destroy agency. They are on the whole utterly mercenary and without scruples – ice-hearted killers who affect the look of gunfighters from Earth’s Old West, with an unflinching and laconic demeanour to match. Nobody is sure how many...
The Weerd brothers, Cuss, Hiss and Silent, fought alongside Johnny Alpha during the first mutant war. They joined the Search/Destroy agency at the end of the war to cash in on their deadly skills.
