1.01 - Americana 5/27/07 - 11.47
After a hectic day as wife, mother, and structural engineer all aspects seem to come crashing down at once on Bridgette Margot when a villian attempts to blow up a large traffic bridge that her family happens to be on along with a hundred other citizens.
Meanwhile the President of the USA is also having a bad day, and despite the objections of his Vice-President decides to go ahead and contact an old friend of his Quinn Daniels (Obsidian Q) to forge a new group to be known as American Storm to help deal with international villians.
The FBI attempts to apprehend Sierra Nevada, with no luck as she subdues all the agents sent, but now she's on the run from the law.
The Super 5 are brought to Air Force One where they each agree to join the group after some reluctance. Americana doesn't want to spend more time away from her family (the Pres convinces her all families are in grave danger without American Storm), Obsidian Q has to try and get over his mixed past with the President, Turboduke would prefer just to play football and party, ElectraWidow is anti-establishment but agrees in return for a pardon of 12 "friends" from FBI charges (including one Sierra Nevada, and other hackers), and Cobalt Jack who is convinced he has to stay near the marina so he doesn't miss his one true love.
1.02 - Crescent Moon 6/3/07 - 10.77
The USA is thrown into panic when several natural disasters occur in sequence on the West coast.
The President though calls on American Storm because he knows that they are not an accident but the work of the Crimson Reaper. But as our heroes hunt down the Reaper through the streets of San Fransisco, the lettuce fields of the Salinas, and the beaches of Santa Barbara, they discover that this foe is nothing but a puppet for a much more dangerous super-villian; The Crescent Moon.
1.03 - New Moon
As the American Storm continues to hunt for clues as the identity and origin of Crescent Moon, their new archenemy takes it to them sending a henchman Doctor Spratt, a super-chemist, to gather intel and neutralize Turboduke.
We are shown the train derailment from Turboduke's childhood that created a chemical spill and imbued him with his powers. This is also the information Spratt needs to create a weapon to defeat Turboduke. Spratt and his goons have Turboduke as good as captured until American Storm arrives to save the day.
1.04 - Nuke Riders in the Storm
The President's concerns over security at a nuclear weapon dismantling site in Russia turns out to be valid when he sends American Storm to watch over the program.
While the Russian President's similar group of superheroes are at first reluctant to accept the American's help, and the American Storm is reluctant to give it, they find that when the Crescent Moon attack they need to band together.
While the 'storm are able to repel the attack and secure the nukes, and they get their first glimpse at the Crescent Moon villian himself, they are unable to capture their nemesis.
1.05 - Obsidian Q
When the President is the subject of a failed assassination attempt the prime suspect is Obsidian Q. The American Storm is torn inside between following the President's directive to capture and arrest Obsidian, and their own belief that he is innocent and they should be looking for the real culprit; Crescent Moon.
Obsidian Q looks at the rest of American Storm as if they have turned on him, and reacts in kind, further strengthening the President's belief in his complicity.
1.06 - On Trial
Obsidian Q has been captured and is put on secret trial with Americana defending him the best she can, not being a lawyer herself. Through the case Q's origins come out and the question of where his powers originated from is brought forward.
The President's only hope of getting to the truth lies with using a mystic prisoner, one of Crescent Moon's captured minions. But the rest of American Storm is more concerned with what the mystic will do if let inside the head of Obsidian Q.
1.07 - Turning Point
Crescent Moon catches everyone by surprise making a major attack as the trial is winding down. Obsidian Q is able to escape by transporting himself through the building's optical cable.
American Storm does their best to defend the President, but its looking bleak, until Q makes his triumphant return, armed with new information to turn the tide of the battle.
1.08 - Desert Storm
Now armed with the President's complete confidence and resources American Storm is sent overseas to Northern Africa to try and finish off the forces of Crescent Moon once and for all.
However, their plans are thrwarted by supernatural forces which leaves the Storm just fighting for their lives.
1.09 - Hurricane
It's hurricane season and American Storm is dispatched to see how they can help, only to discover that the latest Hurricane is more then just a force of nature. Cobalt Jack is in charge as his ability to modify water comes to the forefront. We also get flashbacks of Jack's childhood and his near drowning experience, and meeting with the Lady of the Lake, that results in his super-powers.
1.10 - Close To Home
The family of a Nanotechnolgy scientist is taken hostage by the forces of Crescent Moon. American Storm is brought in but from the outset there are clashes between members and the directives. Americana can't get past the idea that this could be her family taken hostage and refuses to comply with the President's priorities of preventing knowedge transfer to the terrorists.
1.11 - Seperate Ways
Americana and Obsidian Q are compelled to return to Africa to try and finish off Crescent Moon, but their decision is not shared by the others and it causes a dissolution of American Storm. Turboduke hanges it up to concentrate on Football, ElectraWidow disapears into the underworld, and Cobalt Jack falls into depression and hides in his houseboat. To help make up the numbers the President adds another Superhero to the mission in Africa, and his overpowering personality immediately clashes with Americana and Obsidian Q.
1.12 - Resolution
With Americana and Obsidian Q taken prisoner by Crescent Moon thanks to the betrayal of Kid Falcon, the remaining members of American Storm must ride to the rescue in Africa before the President orders an air strike to wipe out the terrorist training center.
