'''''Wetworks''''' is a [[comic book]] series created by [[comic book artist]] [[Whilce Portacio]] and writer [[Brandon Choi]]. Originally intended as one of the core [[Image Comics]] launch titles in [[1992]], the series was put on hiatus until [[1994]] due to the death of Portacio's sister. After re-solicitation by Image (through Jim Lee's [[Wildstorm]] imprint), the original series ran for 43 issues, from 1994-1998. The first 3 issues were collected as a [[trade paperback]], ''Wetworks: Rebirth'' in October 1996 from Image Comics/Wildstorm.
'''Cork City F.C.''' is an [[Ireland|Irish]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club playing in the [[Football League of Ireland]]. The club, founded and elected to the league in [[1984]], hails from [[Cork]], [[Ireland]] and play their home matches at [[Turners Cross (stadium)|Turners Cross]]. The club colours are Green and White with Red trim, and the club goes by the nicknames of 'City' and 'Rebel Army'. The club was founded not long after the demise of the [[Cork Hibernians]] football club. The club chairman is [[Brian Lennox]], the current manager of the club is [[Damien Richardson]].
 
The story is about a team of [[black ops|black operative]] soldiers bonded with golden [[symbiote|symbiotes]], who battles against the [[supernatural]] forces.
==Soccer In Cork City==
League of Ireland soccer in Cork City has been full of turmoil with all clubs predating Cork City F.C. losing their league status for various reasons. The following clubs have all represented Cork city at Senior level:
* [[Fordsons]]: 1924 - 30
* [[Cork F.C.|Cork]]: 1930 - 38
* [[Cork Bohemians]]: 1932 - 34
* [[Cork City F.C. (1938)|Cork City]]: 1938
* [[Cork United]] (later to be [[Cork United|Cork Athletic]]): 1939 - 57
* [[Cork Celtic|Evergreen United]] (later to be [[Cork Celtic]]): 1951 - 79
* [[Cork Hibernians]]: 1957 - 76
* [[Albert Rovers]] (later to be [[Albert Rovers|Cork Alberts]] and then [[Albert Rovers|Cork United]]): 1976 - 82
 
A relaunch of the same title began in 2006 by writer [[Mike Carey]] and creator Whilce Portacio. It follows the original team leader, Dane, as he reforms the Wetworks team minus all the previous members save Mother One, to continue combating supernatural forces.
==History==
'''1984 - 1985'''
After a two-year gap, senior football returned to [[River Lee|Leeside]] when Cork City FC was elected to the [[League of Ireland]] in [[1984]]. Former [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] and [[Cork Celtic]] hero [[Bobby Tambling]] was the first manager appoined to the club, but his reign was short at only 13 games. [[Tony Allen|Tony 'Tucker' Allen]] filled the breach as the club opted to import a batch of [[England|English]] players, most notably ex-[[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] midfielder [[Terry McDermott]]. The gamble averted the threat of relegation to the new First Division, though success in the [[FAI League Cup|League Cup]] was less forthcoming as The Rebels fell to [[Drogheda United]] in the second round.
 
==Plot==
'''1985 - 1986'''
The second campaign almost brought disaster with City failing to win a single game in their then home, [[Flower Lodge]] and avoiding relegation only on goal difference from [[Shelbourne FC|Shelbourne]].
The FAI Cup offered some respite though, with [[Bray Wanderers]], [[Limerick City]] and [[Derry City FC|Derry City]] being overcome as City advanced to the semi-finals. However, all-conquering Shamrock Rovers proved too powerful over two legs, winning 8:3 on aggregate. The return match at the Lodge was the last ever played at the famous old venue.
 
Wetworks is a covert operations team designated [[Team 7]] led by Colonel [[Dane (Wildstorm)|Jackson Dane]], who was a member of the original Team 7. In issue #1 of the series, Team 7 was sent on a (suicide) mission by [[International Operations]]' (I/O) Director Miles Craven. The mission was to enter a terrorist enclave on the Raanes Peninsula (Eastern Europe) and extract a biological agent the terrorists had in their possession. Once the team reached the target, they found out that someone had raided the enclave before them. While investigating, the team found several big transparent tubes containing some kind of golden fluid. At that moment, the explosives they were carrying were activated by remote control, displaying a ten-minute countdown. That was when the team knew they were double crossed.
'''1986 - 1987'''
1986 brought the enforced move to [[Turners Cross (stadium)|Turners Cross]]. New manager [[Noel O’Mahony]] would eventually guide City into the relative comfort zone of mid-table, but the FAI Cup, League Cup and [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] offered little in the way of glory, or consolation.
 
A hidden sniper shot at one of the tubes when team member Clayton "Claymore" Maure was examining it. The tube broke and the golden fluid jumped on Claymore as if it were alive, covering his whole body. If that was not enough, they were attacked by some terrorists. The terrorists started shooting, but the bullets bounced off Claymore's gold-covered body. Time was ticking and Col. Dane decided the team should open the remaining tubes to use the golden symbiotes as protection against the detonation of the explosives.
'''1987 – 1988'''
Former Ireland striker [[Eamon O’Keefe]] arrived as manager as the club strived to inject an urgent degree of professionalism. Within a month O’Keefe delivered the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]], and in October skipper [[Liam Murphy]] lifted the [[FAI League Cup|League Cup]], the club’s first national silverware, when [[Shamrock Rovers]] were defeated at Turners Cross. On the league front there was a further gradual improvement with City finishing in seventh place. Despite the advances made, however, the turnstiles were still clicking too slowly and there was pressure on the board to improve the image and appeal of the club.
 
After the detonation, the enclave was destroyed, but Team 7 emerged from the fire unharmed. That was when I/O's cleaners (three aircraft) were ordered to enter the site to kill the surviving team members. The field leader of the cleaners, Mother One, double crossed I/O and shot down two aircraft before destroying her own. Mother One also had a golden symbiote, although it was not shown how she acquired it.
'''1988 - 1989'''
This was an eventful season for City in many ways: the sacking of [[O’Keefe]], another relegation battle, a first FAI Cup final appearance, and a European qualification at the end of it all.
Poor early form and attendances cast doubts over O’Keefe’s tenure and there was an acrimonious parting of the ways before Christmas, with [[O’Mahony]] re-installed to guide the ship to safety. The side battled to finish eighth in the league, and produced brave but unsuccessful defences of the Munster and League Cups. Losing to treble champions [[Derry City F.C.|Derry City]] in the [[FAI Cup]] decider earned the club its first European ticket.
 
Mother One explained to Team 7 they were double crossed by Craven and I/O and asked them to accompany her to her boss, industrialist Armand Waering.
'''1989 - 1990'''
[[Glenavon FC|Glenavon]] and [[Tottenham Hostpur F.C.|Spurs]] were early visitors to Leeside before City faced [[Torpedo Moscow]] in the [[Cup Winners' Cup]], a huge step for a young club. They lost 0:6 on aggregate against the Russians, but the experience fuelled the club’s desire and inspired a fifth-place finish in the Premier Division. The ambitious experiment of recruiting four Bulgarians in October did not pay off, but hinted at an actual desire for achievement.
The FAI Cup and the League Cup proved fruitless avenues to success, but the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] was reclaimed on New Year’s Day at the expense of Tramore Athletic.
 
Col. Dane reluctantly accepted and they started to work for Armand Waering. Waering told them that he wanted to kill the Vampire Nation because they wanted to take over the world from the humans. What he did not tell the team was that he was actually the Jaquar, leader of the Werenation.

Two members of Wetworks died early in their battles with the undead - Flattop and Crossbones. Later Pilgrim's brother, Nathaniel Blackbird joined the squad, and they learned that both he and Pilgrim (unknown to her) were both werewolves. Several members of the squad died during a major mission some time later, including dozer and claymore, and Wetworks broke up. Recently Dane has reactivated the team to deal with breaks in reality caused by another superteam, which have been turned into portals for forces from another dimension.
'''1990 – 1991'''
For the first time City were genuine championship contenders, exploding from the traps with a 20-game unbeaten run that lasted until late January, the squad bolstered by the inclusion of five Scots during the season. The only other defeat came when [[Dundalk F.C.|Dundalk]] stole a 1:0 win and the title in front of 12,000 fans packed into Turners Cross. The consolation was another European berth, this time in the [[UEFA Cup]].
There were early exits in the FAI and League Cup, but the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] was retained when Limerick City were overcome 3:0 on the last day of the season.
 
[[Image:GreenLantern40.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Green Lanterns of two worlds: Hal Jordan (left) meets Alan Scott in ''Green Lantern'']]
'''1991 - 1992'''
A hectic pre-season included games in [[Shanghai]] against the Polish and Chinese Olympic teams, a famous 2:0 win over Celtic plus visits from [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds]], [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] and [[Sunderland A.F.C.]]. The icing on the cake was a gallant UEFA joust with [[Bayern Munich]]; City holding the German giants 1:1 at [[Musgrave Park]] before falling 0:2 to late goals in Bavaria.
The club slipped to third in the league, missing out on Europe, and suffered a 0:1 reverse to [[Bohemians F.C.|Bohemians]] in the FAI Cup decider at Lansdowne Road. Once again, the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] was the only trophy claimed in a memorable year.
 
==Characters==
'''1992 - 1993'''
===Original Series Members===
Cork City landed the [[Football League of Ireland|Premier Division]] title for the first time after a three-way tie with [[Shelbourne]] and [[Bohemians F.C.|Bohemians]], and an extended play-off series to decide the Championship. A 3:2 win over [[Shelbourne]] at the [[RDS]] in the sixth play-off game finally earned the club its day of glory.
*Claymore (Clayton H. Maure)
It was a momentous season on other fronts also with City moving to a new stadium in [[Bishopstown]] as ambition continued to grow.
*Crossbones (Nicholas A. Jones) [KIA Wetworks #4]
There were early exits in the League and FAI Cups, however, though the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] was kept for another year following a 3:1 win over Fermoy.
*Dane (Jackson Michael Dane) Member of the original Team 7
Reactivated his Gen-Factor. Gen-Factor prevents/protects Dane from bonding with the symbiote.
*Dozer (Joseph H. Mendoza)

===Second Series Members===
'''1993 - 1994'''
*Dane (Jackson Michael Dane)
[[Damien Richardson]] took the helm on Noel O’Mahony’s retirement. City came from three goals down to knock Welsh side [[Cwmbran Town F.C.|Cwmbran Town]] out of the [[UEFA Champions League|Champion's Cup]]. Their reward was a trip to [[Istanbul]] and odd-goal defeats both home and away to [[Galatasaray]].
*Mother-One (Rachel L. Rhodes)
Domestically there was little joy in the Cups, but the club made a brave effort at retaining its league crown, finishing second to [[Shamrock Rovers F.C.|Shamrock Rovers]], playing attractively and scoring freely.
*Red (Persephone)
Almost inevitably, the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] provided the only silverware from an exciting campaign, though it took a penalty shoot-out to see off the challenge of [[Cobh Ramblers F.C.|Cobh Ramblers]].
*Dustwalker (AB-Death)
 
==External link==
'''1994 - 1995'''
* [http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/w/wetworks.htm Independent Hero Page]
A [[UEFA Cup]] exit against [[Slavia Prague]] was quickly overcome and the championship success of ‘93 looked as if it might be repeated before the season rapidly turned sour, as [[Damien Richardson|Richardson]] resigned a week before Christmas with the team at the top of the table and into the League Cup final. [[Bishopstown]] was virtually unplayable, games were switched to [[Cobh]], [[Turners Cross]], and even one enforced trip to [[Tolka Park]]. [[O’Mahony]] was recalled but the title challenge collapsed and neither [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster]] or [[FAI League Cup|League Cup]] successes could ease the sadness of seeing a club on the verge of self-destruction.
 
'''1995 - 1996'''
[[Rob Hindmarch]] took the reins, but it was obvious he had inherited a mess. The club was in the mire, the stadium dragging it under. In mid-season the receiver was called in and the club was left homeless. Frantic efforts to save the situation saw a new Board installed and a move to Turners Cross. Penniless, Hindmarch had skimmed along with bargain basement imports but relegation still threatened, a three-point deduction adding to the problems. A Cup exit saw [[Dave Barry Footballer|Dave Barry]] appointed and the team gleaned enough points to scramble to ninth. They lost the Munster Cup decider to junior side Waterford Glass.
 
[[Category:Wildstorm Comics titles|Wetworks]]
'''1996 - 1997'''
[[Category:Wildstorm Comics superhero teams|Wetworks]]
A year of consolidation after the Bishopstown nightmare ended with a surprise [[Intertoto Cup]] qualification. After a disastrous start, a late run was rewarded when City finished fourth. Along the way the team claimed a League Cup final place, but unexpectedly lost on aggregate to First Division [[Galway United]]. Crowds began to increase, and the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] was recaptured, but most importantly a lot of vital repair work was undertaken and the club appeared a lot stronger than 12 months earlier.

[[fr:WetWorks]]
'''1997 - 1998'''
Unbeaten in three out of four [[Intertoto Cup|Intertoto games]], it was apparent that things had been tightened up on the pitch. The spirit had returned, colours were changed to red-and-white and the fans were growing in numbers. The missing ingredient was success and by season’s end [[Dave Barry Footballer|Barry]] would provide that. League improvement continued with a creditable third place finish. The [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] was retained but it was the [[FAI Cup]] that put Cork City back on the map after several lean and desperate years. [[Derek Coughlan|Derek Coughlan’s]] goal against [[Shelbourne]] ensured City got their hands on the famous trophy for the very first time.
 
'''1998 - 1999'''
A home win against [[CSKA Kyiv]] augured well, and so it proved. The best campaign for years saw an eight-game winning start to the league and a record 70 points accumulated from 33 matches. Incredibly, City had to accept runners-up medals behind St Patrick’s Athletic after a titanic contest between the pair. A great run in the [[FAI League Cup|League Cup]] brought the trophy home for the third time with victory over [[Shamrock Rovers]]. City were awarded the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] when Waterford refused to play in the delayed final.
 
'''1999 - 2000'''
Once again City claimed a famous result in Europe, defeating [[IFK Gothenburg]] at the Cross. Hopes were high of another sustained challenge in the title race and for the second year the team finished runners-up, a full eleven points adrift of [[Shelbourne]]. [[Pat Morley]] equalled his own club record by hitting 20 league goals and at the end of it all [[Dave Barry Footballer|Dave Barry]] announced his retirement. Former [[Shelbourne]] boss [[Colin Murphy]] was unveiled as his successor for the following season. Only the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] made its way to the City trophy cabinet, neighbours [[Cobh Ramblers]] beaten 5:0 in the decider.
 
'''2000 - 2001'''
[[Colin Murphy]] stayed for one Super Cup game before departing to [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]]. In the lurch, the club brought [[Derek Mountfield]] in facing a [[UEFA Cup]] tie in [[Lausanne Sports|Lausanne]]. Mountfield had a turbulent ride in his first managerial appointment, the team lacking consistency, goals and luck. After relative success in preceding seasons crowds again dwindled as the team struggled and the former [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] stalwart was sacked in January, after just six months in charge and during a 4-0 defeat at home to St. Patrick's Athletic. [[Liam Murphy]] took over and the team embarked on a 13-game unbeaten run than brought an [[Intertoto]] ticket and a tenth [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] success.
 
'''2001 - 2002'''
A controversial link-up with [[FA Premier League|English Premier League]] side [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] and local outfit Mayfield United was not warmly received by the Cork fans. There were embarrassing home and away defeats against [[FHK Liepajas Metalurgs|Liepajas Metalurgs]] on the European front. Inconsistency was again the bane of the team and another season of poor gates, with a mid-table finish and no decent FAI or League Cup run meant the club had reached another vital crossroads in its history. Yet again the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Cup]] offered meagre consolation from a difficult campaign. The board stepped down at season’s end and [[Brian Lennox]] assumed full control of the club.
 
'''2002 - 2003'''
A season of sharp contrasts that ended with [[Liam Murphy]] resigning. Gradually building a new side in his two years in charge Murphy produced a young team that was by equal measure breathtaking at home and dismal away. And yet success was within touching distance; a home FAI Cup semi-final defeat against a moderate [[Derry City F.C.|Derry City]] in particular tore the heart out of what promised to be a glorious year. At the finish Europe proved beyond a side that could only muster a solitary win on the road, yet had started out brilliantly on home soil.
 
'''2003'''
Ex-St. Patrick's Athletic manager [[Pat Dolan]] was unveiled as the new City boss as the club ushered in a new era of professionalism with more team members becoming full-time players. On the pitch performances were mixed as new players were drafted, and old hands released or retired. The biggest disappointment was probably an opening round FAI Cup defeat at home to [[Shelbourne]], and once again the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] was the only trophy collected. Still, an [[Intertoto Cup]] spot was secured –a definite sign of improved standing compared to recent campaigns.
 
'''2004'''
[[Pat Dolan|Pat Dolan's]] second season as City manager proved very successful, both on a European and domestic level. City surpassed [[Malmo FF]] and [[NEC Nijmegen]] in the [[Intertoto Cup]], but fell victim to [[FC Nantes Atlantique]] in the Quarter-Final. It was the first time an Irish club side had ever reached the quarter-final stage of a European competition.
After disappointing domestic cup campaigns, and a drought in league form, a squad meeting was held which resulted in a 12 game unbeaten run for the [[Rebel Army]]. Second place was secured and [[UEFA Cup]] football would return to Cork in 2005.
 
'''2005'''
In March 2005, [[Pat Dolan]] was sacked in pre-season and replaced by [[Damien Richardson]]. Richardson took over at City 15 days before the start of the season, but despite this was able to continue the impressive form the team had at the end of the 2004 season. City retained the [[Munster Senior Cups|Munster Senior Cup]] by beating local side Avondale United managed by ex-Cork City player and legend, John Caulfield. The first chance at major silverware came when City were involved in the inagural [[Setanta Cup]]. Hopes of taking the honours were high at the club, but a series of contoversial match official decsions and bad luck put the club bottom of Group 2. In the [[Football League of Ireland Cup|League Cup]], City faired better than the previous seasons but were knocked out by [[Longford Town F.C.|Longford Town]] with an injury-time goal in the quarter-finals. Cork City won the league on the final day of the season with a victory over second place [[Derry City F.C.|Derry City]]. Derry had come to Cork with a one point lead in the league meaning they simply needed a draw to secure the league but Cork City ran out victors in the grandstand finish with a 2-0 victory over Derry. City can now complete a league and cup double by beating Drogheda in the FAI cup final on Sunday December 4th
