Jeff Terrell was an elite F.B.I. operative prior to his selection as leader of Youngblood’s “home” team. Chosen primarily because of his strong leadership abilities and his movie star good looks, Jeff was the logical choice to replace the more intensely-driven Battlestone when he was forcibly removed from his position as team leader. The swift transformation into the public persona known as “Shaft” ensued, giving him instant media exposure and firmly establishing him as a hero to the American public. Despite the fame and fortune resulting from his new-found notoriety, however, Jeff resents the media attention and despises the costumed artifice associated with the Youngblood program.
Thanks to extensive training, Shaft is proficient in a wide variety of fighting techniques, but it is his mastery in the area of ballistic weaponry that earned him his namesake. His weapon of choice is a specialized bow, which was chosen over conventional weaponry both for its hi-tech appearance and its use of Katellan anti-gravity technology, making the additional string apparatus unnecessary. Accompanying the bow are a variety of “specialty” arrows to be used in a wide range of different combat scenarios. The consummate leader, Shaft has a commanding personality and a keen mind, which allows him to quickly size any situation and make whatever decisions are necessary. His strong personal charisma and resolute determination inspire trust and loyalty within the team.
Chosen in the 1940s to become the first of the U.S. government’s genetic experiments, the super-soldier known as Diehard is one of the Youngblood’s most mysterious members. Though he has served in nearly every incarnation of the team since its inception, none of his teammates know his true identity. Commonly believed to be the first successful fusion of man and machine, Diehard is characterized by those who know him as a man struggling to understand his own identity. With such a long history of membership in the Youngblood program, Diehard is understandably wary of the arrival of new Diehard units, updated models for which he was the template. Regarded more as a combat unit than a man, Diehard is also constantly wary of his selection for assignments regarded to be “suicide missions.”
Die Hard’s enhanced strength coupled with extensive training in hand-to-hand combat techniques and superhuman endurance combine to make him a superior combatant. Die Hard is also capable of downloading his memory and brain waves from one Die Hard unit to the next.
