The Superior Seven is an alliance between friends and heroes who had worked together on cases in the Dallas area. The team was created by Captain Lightning and the Sorceress, who are also the financial backing for the group. Recently one of their number, the Comet, died while on a mission. Because of this, the team has changed their name to the Superior Six. Since their formation, the Superior Six has been one of the more popular teams, especially in the Southwest United States.
The Superior Six headquarters is called 'The Ranch'. It is a remodeled cattle ranch in Mesquite, Texas, just outside of Dallas. The main house serves as a meeting area/recreational area along with personal quarters for each member. Several members also have dwellings elsewhere in the Metroplex area.
The main barn was converted to a vehicle hanger. It currently holds the team's long range jets: the Lone Star 3 and the Double J. A small fleet of flying Grav Cycles, called 'horses' are stored here as well. There is a 'horse' for each member of the team, should they choose to make use of them.
There is an extensive underground complex underneath the ranch that connects to all the above ground areas. Located underground is a large weapons research labratory for Centurion, an electronics laboratory for Captain Lighting, the team's Battle Trainer, a shooting range, and exercise areas. In addition, there are storage areas and a secret vault that holds dangerous magic items acquired by the Sorceress.
The Ranch is overseen by DUKE, a robotic major domo who has been programmed to speak in the vocal patterns of the late actor John Wayne. Thanks to the collaberative efforts of Captain Lightning, Centurion, and Titan, the Superior Six have one of the more advanced bases and equipment in the world. The Ranch is protected by various anti-personnal traps and gadgets, such as automated stun weapons, net traps, and pits.
