The Five Rings

From publisher blurb: On the surface, the FIVE RINGS are like so many other super powered villain teams. They use their combined powers to watch each others' backs and fend off heroes while they rob, steal, and cause trouble everywhere they go. What the world doesn't realize is that these people were once good and just but virtually enslaved to a globe threatening master. Each and every one of their crimes may actually be unnoticeable progress to bringing about armageddon.
