Due to Government minister Nelson Bunker Kreelman's anti-mutant laws, mutants are not allowed to hold down a job or even buy food for themselves. Confined to segregated ghettos and slums they live a miserable existence. Small wonder many of them flock to the New Mutant Army and hit back at their norm tormentors with guerilla raids before finally launching an all-out assault on the Palace of Upminster, the seat of the norm government. Each division of then Mutant Army is led by a fierce, charismatic figure such as this included in this set: Studs Boyce of the Midlands Divison, the Welsh Divisions Evans the Fist, Clacton Fuzz of the South-East Division and the Tyne-and-Weirdies led by The Torso from Newcastle. In overall command of the Mutant Army is the multi-limbed General Armz.

Successful Search/Destroy agents rely on speed, cunning and firepower in equal measure. The ubiquitous skimmer provides high speed, all-terrain maneouvrability and is often the vehicle of choice for bounty hunters and outlaws alike. Also known as hover sleds or hov-bikes, skimmers are able to operate in high radiation areas where natural mounts such as Morks struggle. Johnny Alpha and his partner Wulf Sternhammer regularly tracked their quarry by skimmer and many an outlaw, criminal or alien fugitive from the law have been brought to justice as a result.
