As we move into our next big arc, many of us have taken the time to create a new generation of Taskforce characters to flesh out the group of kids at Wammy’s House. Without giving too many details away about the upcoming plot, Wammy’s House is threatened by someone in the wake of Carver’s death, and all the Wammy’s kids, past and present, will have to join forces along with the Taskforce to save the orphanage from being shut down.
