HISTORY

The Pitbulls are a violent, disciplined criminal outfit operating out of the nation’s capital. Formed by dishonorably discharged veterans, ex-gang enforcers, and corrupt security contractors, the Pitbulls built a reputation for their brutal methods, pack mentality, and unwavering loyalty to their own.
Founded by the cold and calculating Titan, the gang was originally a tight-knit group of enforcers-for-hire, operating out of the southeast D.C. projects. Over time, the Pitbulls evolved into a feared independent force, conducting well-planned raids, robberies, and paramilitary-style assaults.
Known for their fast, hard-hitting attacks and their willingness to take hostages, the Pitbulls don’t posture or threaten—they strike. In LYNX #8, they storm the Natural History Museum during a crowded event, triggering a hostage crisis that draws out the city’s defenders and stirs ghosts from the past.

POWERS & ABILITIES

The Pitbulls don’t have superpowers—they are the weapon. Each member brings a brutal, no-nonsense skillset honed in the streets of Washington, D.C. They fight as a pack, using fear, numbers, and violence to get what they want.
Titan (Leader): A seasoned brawler and ruthless tactician, Rebel combines street smarts with a soldier’s precision. He’s always thinking one step ahead and never fights fair.
Goliath: The enforcer. Built like a brick wall and hits like one too. Tank absorbs punishment and dishes out worse with fists, chains, or anything in reach.
Roxy: Quiet, calculating, and always packing heat. A weapons specialist and hitwoman with a cold stare and dead-accurate aim.
Runt: Is unpredictable. Small, aggressive, and feral in a fight. He throws himself into combat with no fear and no filter, fighting dirty every time.

WEAPONS & PARAPHERNALIA

The Pitbulls have access to an arsenal that rivals small paramilitary units. Commonly used gear includes:
Modified AR-15 and AK-style rifles
Short-barrel shotguns and SMGs (MP5s, UZIs, TEC-9s)
Fragmentation and smoke grenades
Combat knives, machetes, and blunt force weapons
Military surplus vehicles (armored vans, dirt bikes, retrofitted trucks).
