Comments: Created by Chuck Dixon, Bob Wakelin, Derick Gross and Paul Lee.
Created by accident! At the time this story occured (during the first Secret Wars) both previous Ani-Men teams were dead except for Bird-Man and he wasn't even present. What happened to them? I don't know! They appeared in one panel and were never seen again. I can only assume that they were caught by the police and thrown into prison. These days another Ani-Men group is active, but they are clearly not the same as these guys.
The Secret Wars/Code of Honor Ani-Men (see clarifications). I don't see any reason they
couldn't be the same guys (at least Ape-Man and Cat-Man) as the ones
from Civil War. Until they make it official though....
