The team formed in the African country of Azania, when a shadowy cat-like figure began murdering government officials. Immediately, the blame went to T’Challa, the Black Panther, as he was head of the state in the neighboring country of Wakanda. The Supremacists, who at the time composed of: Barricade, Hungyr, Harrier, Captain Blaze, White Avenger, and Voortrekker set out to capture Black Panther and hold him accountable for the murders.
Black Panther was able to elude them and lure each of them into the jungle, where he managed to defeat each of them.
Their next mission was to take down a (Black) US Ambassador, who was rescued by Night Thrasher. They followed up that with attacking a Wakanda embassy in Azania, with Commander Blaze (as he was calling himself now) burning it down. This drew the attention of Night Thrasher and the ire of Black Panther who teamed up with Night Thrasher. White Avenger, Harrier and Barricade were noticeably missing from the fight, but it is suspected they may be depowered, as they had been thrown into Hungyr who absorbed their powers. A new Harrier (II) was seen with Hungyr, but was a woman. Both of them were also defeated by Night Thrasher and Black Panther.

Once the power has been absorbed, he’s able to use it himself, but can only use one “absorbed” person’s power at a time. (For example, if he absorbed Firestar & Speedball’s power; he could only emulate one of their powers at a time). It’s unknown whether, once he has absorbed the power, if the person loses their own power forever. (Though that might explain why certain members were not seen later, since Black Panther threw them into Hungyr and he absorbed their powers; and was seen using their powers later).
