The Teams of DreadBall: All-Stars

Set in a sci-fi future where mega-corporations sponsor violent sports entertainment across the galaxy, DreadBall: All-Stars represents the sport's crowning achievement and the galaxy's biggest event. Billions tune in every week to watch legends clash on the neodurium pitch. Corporations spend fortunes sponsoring teams, while fans mortgage their futures for a chance to see their heroes in action.

Tune in each week to get a closer look at each team...

Jets - DreadBall: All-Stars Players

Famous for their lightning-fast speed, the Jets can outmaneuver opponents and score with ease. However, all that speed comes at the cost of vulnerability, and without the right tactical approach, more physical teams can force them out of the game.

Wheelie - When he introduced Barricade into the DreadBall arena, Josiah Zizz became a household name almost overnight. Sensing his potential, he was approached by McKinley to develop and build the ultimate DreadBall robot. Wheelie hasn't been fully tested in DreadBall, but McKinley has insisted on entering it straight into the DBA.

Ja'to - Their introduction to DreadBall was a brutal one. During a live game, Ja'to invaded the pitch and challenged Kailasha, the Nebula's captain, to a duel. Billions watched while the pair viciously fought until Kailasha fell lifeless to the neodurium. Raising the bloody DreadBall glove of her former foe, Ja'to proclaimed victory and immediately became one of DreadBall's most notorious players.

The Hawk - Although similar in appearance to an Asterian Cyper, the exact origins of The Hawk are shrouded in mystery. In fact, no one is even sure if there's a biological creature inside the elaborate armour or whether The Hawk is an android. Since they first made their appearance and threw a record-breaking number of accurate passes, teams have been queuing up to add The Hawk to their roster.

Miguel van Dien - Growing up in the shadow of Rico van Dien - arguably the second most famous DreadBall player in history, behind Lucky Logan - wasn't easy for Miguel van Dien. What made it worse for Miguel was that he had always been the better player, but his opportunity for stardom was snatched away by his older brother. Now he's out to prove he's the better van Dien - no matter what it takes.

Suzi "Slick" Connors - Former captain of the Void Sirens - Suzi stormed off a DreadBall pitch five seasons ago and pledged never to play again. Considered a veteran even when she quit, Slick is an antique compared to some of the modern DreadBall stars. After time spent coaching junior flag DreadBall, the Jets convinced Slick to come out of retirement and play for the team.

Juggernauts - DreadBall: All-Stars Players

The Juggernauts are a physical force to be reckoned with, able to brush aside even the strongest of opponents with ease. What they lack in scoring finesse, they more than make up for in their ability to slam opponents off the field.

Suplex - Even for a Hulk, Suplex is big. He was formerly a merc with a Marauder gang, but left behind his former life when a talent scout spotted his larger-than-life potential. Although he's never played professional DreadBall, the marketing team behind the Juggernauts is hoping his wrestling talents will prove useful on the neodurium.

Nelson - In the 10 seasons Nelson has played DreadBall - after first making his appearance on the illegal Xtreme circuit - Nelson has caused more serious injuries than any other player in DreadBall history. Massive, even for an orc, Nelson is a dangerous and unpredictable addition to the Juggernauts line-up.

Whiplash - Orcs aren't renowned for their ability to score Strikes in DreadBall - instead, they're typically deployed for extra muscle to protect the more agile (or should that be fragile) members of their team. Whiplash has become one of the toughest Strikers on the circuit and even occasionally opens his eyes while shooting.

Duke "Clutch" Sonnerson - Forge Fathers have been playing DreadBall since the early days of the sport, when there were far fewer rules and even more injuries. Clutch is a relative newcomer to the professional game, at least compared to most Forge Fathers who play. Most humans would have considered retiring by now, but Clutch is only just getting started.

Kimura "The Wall" - Typically, you tend not to see a lot of Keepers in DreadBall All-Stars. After all, most fame-hungry players in the DBA leagues crave the limelight. Kimura doesn't appear to care about the media attention and refuses most post-match interviews. Appropriately nicknamed "The Wall", Kimura has helped the Juggernauts achieve more shutouts than any other in DBA's short history.
