Everything about Vicious Circle Comics totally explained
The Vicious Circle is a criminal organization of
mutants,
cyborgs,
monsters,
assassins, and
magicians that serves as the primary opponents for the superheroes in
Erik Larsen's comic-book titles. The group has a varying line-up, sometimes consisting of five-to-six members and sometimes having a staggeringly huge membership. Originally the Vicious Circle were led by the
Overlord , an armored mastermind who ruled all of Chicago's underworld. Later, it would be ruled by the technology controlling
Cyberface. Once the
Savage Dragon started policing the streets of
Chicago, the Vicious Circle began to falter and its members started winding up in prison, the hospital or just plain dead. The Vicious Circle remains a consistent thorn in the Savage Dragon's side, and frequently faces off with the
Superpatriot and others including Raphael of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For example, during issues 10 and 11 of the series run with Image, he took on the entire Vicious Circle himself in a bar fight.
The Circle desire to utterly control Chicago. They have attacked the Dragon time and time again, willing to kill anyone who gets in their way. Occasionally, they use subtler methods. Using insiders, they've Dragon fired and replaced with a more buffonish superpowered hero,
She-Dragon. However, this plan fails as She-Dragon is carefully trained by other police officers and becomes a credible threat.
The Circle are briefly part of the superhero/gang war that erupts in New York City, as mentioned in
Wildcats" #28.
They are part of the heroic resistance when Martians attack Earth, though of course they triy to claim power and territory once the Dragon kills all the aliens.
After the alien invasion, the Dragon shrunk much of their group with a Martian device, sucked them up in a vacuum cleaner and tossed them out the window. The shrunken members were then used to free other members from jail.
Presumably, the Vicious Circle, along with most of Earth, are dead after a cosmic entity named Universo attacks the planet. Some people of this Earth survived to travel to another, but it isn't known if any Circle members did.
