The Pack is a team of mercenaries assembled by Xanatos, consisting of Fox (their original leader), Wolf, Jackal, Hyena, and Dingo.
History
They became the stars of their own television series, The Pack, where they were portrayed as continually doing battle with "Evil Ninjas". They quickly became heroes to the public, and also to the trio when they awakened in New York. Even Hudson enjoyed the program.
The Pack were bored with this life, however, feeling that they had plenty of fame and fortune, but were not seeing enough action. When they learned about the gargoyles (through Xanatos, who wanted to test the Pack's capabilities), they tricked Lexington into leading Goliath into a trap, so that they could hunt him for the sake of some excitement.
Goliath and Lexington managed to gain the upper hand over the Pack in the end, however, particularly when Fox made the mistake of taking a swimsuit model hostage in the middle of the culminating battle with the two gargoyles. She and Wolf were quickly arrested and sent to prison on Rikers Island. Jackal and Hyena soon following them after their unsuccessful attempt on Xanatos' life.
Dingo escaped to Europe, and returned with Coyote 1.0 to break the Pack out of prison (except for Fox, who used the break-out to obtain an early parole, and in fact broke off her relations with the Pack thereafter). Under Coyote's leadership, the Pack made a fresh attack upon the gargoyles, culminating in a battle aboard the oil tanker Otoshiana Maru, but was again defeated. Having by now completely destroyed its original hero-image, the Pack turned to bank-robbing and other criminal activities, until Xanatos took charge of them again (through Coyote 2.0). This time, he upgraded the Pack; Wolf was mutated into a sort of werewolf, Jackal and Hyena were cybernetized, and Dingo given a high-tech suit of battle armor. The Pack battled the gargoyles a third time, was again defeated, and had to flee New York.
Dingo broke off further relations with the Pack afterwards, disgusted by his former team-mates' increasing savagery, but Xanatos supplied Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf with a third Coyote robot and sent them to Egypt to assist the Emir in summoning Anubis. After this incident (and the Pack's fourth clash with Goliath) ended, however, its members split up, going separate ways, and have not worked as a team since.
At some point in the future, however, an Ultra-Pack will be formed by Coyote 6.0, led by Coyote 7.0, and including Jackal, Hyena, Wolf, and a new member whose identity is as yet unknown. More information about it, however, is unknown at present.
Series Bible
Xanadu Entertainment Productions (a subsidiary of Xanatos Enterprises) owns a little company called PACKMEDIA PRODUCTIONS INC. PackMedia owns and distributes a popular little syndicated television program featuring a group of heroes known as THE PACK who are constantly battling "Evil Ninjas" in choreographed fight scenes. The Pack is led by the woman known as FOX, a brilliant strategist and martial arts expert. WOLF is the strong man. JACKAL and HYENA are brother and sister, fraternal twins, that the audience really loves to watch cut loose. DINGO is an Australian weapons-master. PackMedia markets and licenses them everywhere, and these five are heroes to kids the world over.
And of course, they also moonlight as mercenaries and enforcers. in fact, their whole show may be nothing more than a training ground for mercenaries and enforcers.
When we first meet them, the Pack are humans, though they are humans who've trained to the peak of their physical potential and have then used steroid-esque drugs to push past that mark. The sociopathic Jackal and psychopathic Hyena are particularly vicious, and Dingo is extremely well-armed. Their modus operandi is to isolate an enemy and then attack him or her simultaneously, giving no quarter. Even Goliath can be easy prey to their joint Pack attack. (And their betrayal of Lex in their first appearance, made a bitter enemy out of him, as well.)
And every succeeding time we see the Pack, they should be a little more dangerous. Currently, they are unaware that Xanatos is their boss. But that could change. And with Xanatos, "help" anything is possible. Perhaps in a subsequent appearance, XE's Scarab Corp. gives them CY.O.T.I.(CYber-operational Technical Intelligence). CY.O.T.I. is a robotic head that can fasten onto multiple different robot bodies. It also serves as the automatic pilot to any number of Pack Vehicles.10
Later episodes might show G-U-T-S experimenting on wolf and changing him into a real werewolf. Or the others being given cybernetic enhancements to make them more powerful. Just remember that in Goliath's world, opponents get more dangerous with each appearance. They change. They never become familiar or ho-hum.
