History

The Great Ten is a team of superheroes based in China's Great Wall complex. This massive complex houses the team's command and support technicians as well as facilities for the creation of more Chinese superhumans. Every action the Great Ten takes during combat must be approved by the bureaucracy.

Three of the team's members were forced to sit out a battle with Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart because they had not completed the required paperwork.

Following the battle with Alexander Luthor and Superboy-Prime, China entered into a Coalition with Kahndaq, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan, leading the Great Ten to join forces with Black Adam on the battlefield.

The Checkmate ground team, on an infiltration mission in China, was discovered and cornered by the Immortal Man in Darkness.^[1]

The August General in Iron, Celestial Archer and Yao Fei the Accomplished Perfect Physician show up to support the Immortal Man in Darkness. After a brief skirmish, both sides declare a truce. Later, after Yao Fei prevents Count Vertigo (acting under secret orders from Amanda Waller) from stealing Chinese state secrets, the August General decides that Checkmate has betrayed the truce and orders their deaths. Only the timely intervention of Green Lantern Alan Scott and the Chinese Ambassador saves the lives of Sasha's ground team.

Later, Checkmate and the Outsiders are on an infiltration mission to Oolong Island. They are attacked by The Immortal Man in Darkness, and Chang Tzu has re-appeared, ready to experiment on the captured Sasha Bordeaux of Checkmate and Captain Boomerang, in the presence of August General in Iron.
