A mercenary group of terrorists-for-hire. Scorpio is a well-equipped organization always on the look out for advanced technology that can easily be weaponized.
In their first appearance, Scorpio battles the Sea Devils and the Challengers of the Unknown to gain control of Sponge Man, a living weapon of mass destruction with the ability to absorb water and energy to grow in size. Field leader Number Eight manipulates Sponge Man into attacking the Devils and the Challengers.[1]
Scorpio returns in Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt #2-12, where it orchestrates a conflict between the crime families of London. Thunderbolt confronts his lover Cairo DeFrey with the knowledge that she is the head of Scorpio; he does not arrest her but he does end their relationship.
