Seven Swords

First Incarnation
The Seven Swords were founded by Nero. The new main goal of the team was to fight Azazel's pirate crew that had been pillaging the multiverse. The Seven Swords fought them through several dimensions. After Azazel was defeated, Nero and his team looked for a new target. They chose to travel the multiverse and kill several incarnations of Apocalypse in different dimensions to try to prevent new Ages of Apocalypse to emerge. In one dimension they found Legion had become Apocalypse. They tried to fight him but failed even though they obtained a Life Seed. They fled then fled the dimension. Nero felt defeated and he did not call the team together again. Psylocke, Ishtar, Fantomex and Deadpool continued to fight the servants of Apocalypse and they killed an extradimensional Tony Stark (Iron Ghost), who had been a servant of Apocalypse in Earth-295. When Nero heard of this he called the team back together, consisting of himself, Psylocke, Ishtar, Fantomex, Deadpool, Magik and Spiral. The Team disbanded after Nero died fighting against Magneto.

Second Incarnation
Ishtar having lost her father moved into AIM Island with her grandfather Alexander Prince, the Scientist Supreme. There Ishtar was aked by Yelena Bolova to set up a team of heroes to fight against threats to Barbuda. Alexander feared the return of Kang the Conqueror. Ishtar recruited Spiral and Magik to join her on an extradimensional adventure seeking out Kang. She also recruited Elektra, who would be paid by AIM. The first dimension they needed to visit was Earth-715. It was the Universe Thundra was from and therefore they recruited her. Kang wanted to destroy the universe because it no longer had any use except for a few powerful warrior-women whom he intended to extract. The team fought Kang, but was defeated and Earth-715 was destroyed. The team barely escaped.They then asked Valkyrie and Mockingbird to join the team and Ishtar named it the Seven Swords. The Seven Swords fought Kang in Asgard, where he wanted to recruit Loki. They saved Loki and defeated Kang.
