History

(JLA #26) - Knight and Squire joined the Ultramarine Corps, who operated out of the independent nation of Superbia. They were gathering a superhuman army to act as global peacekeepers.

(Batman I #679, 681) - Dr. Hurt and the Club of Villains came to Gotham City to completely break Batman and destroy the Batman Family. They sent Nightwing to Arkham Asylum, and nearly drove Batman mad. Robin, needing backup, called the Knight and Squire to see if they could offer some assistance. They assembled the Club of Heroes, who traveled to Gotham. The Club saved Robin from Club of Villains members Swagman and Pierrot, saying they were there for the Batman Family in their time of need. The Club said they’d been investigating the Black Glove ever since their encounter with them on John Mayhew’s island, and were closing in. The Club of Villains’ henchmen were running rampant throughout Gotham, and the club of Heroes said they’d handle it, telling Robin to go to Batman.
