Led by Statesman, Alpha Team represented nearly all of the most powerful superheroes on Earth. With over a thousand superheroes from all over the globe, they launched a nigh-suicidal frontal assault on the Rikti portal as a diversionary tactic, allowing the much smaller Omega Team to invisibly sneak through to the Rikti homeworld.
