The Gene Dogs are fictional characters who appear in the comic books published by the Marvel UK imprint of Marvel Comics. Originally members of an elite counter-terrorism squad known as Team Omega, five dying soldiers become the Gene Dogs after an experimental medical process saves their lives by modifying their DNA, a process which also grants them superhuman abilities. After their transformation, the squad continue to work as a team, now employed by a secret new European defense organization, S.T.O.R.M. The characters first appeared in ''Gene Dogs'' #1 (Oct. 1993), the first part of a four issue limited series that was promoted as part of Marvel UK's "Gene Pool" event. The Gene Dogs were created by John Freeman and Dave Taylor. ==Publication history== Along with ''Gun Runner'' and ''Genetix'', ''Gene Dogs'' was one of three limited series launched together under the 'Gene Pool' banner and "linked by a common thread - genetic mutation".〔Gene Pool advert, ''Gene Dogs'' #1 (October 1993)''〕 As part of this promotion, the first issue of each series was shipped polybagged with collectable "Gene Cards" profiling the characters. Like the other Marvel UK titles of the time, the ''Gene Dogs'' series was set in the shared Marvel Universe and used Marvel UK's villainous Mys-Tech corporation as an important part of its plot. ''Gene Dogs'' also briefly crossed over with ''Genetix'', with the Genetix team guest-starring in ''Gene Dogs'' #2 (Nov. 1993) and the Gene Dogs later appearing in ''Genetix''. Writer John Freeman has since commented that ''Gene Dogs'' was "intended to be a British X-Men"〔(www.downthetubes.net - Who is this John Freeman person, anyway? )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gene Dogs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
