Biography
Background
The independent Earth Plumbers, initially known as the Plumbiers, were first established by the Founding Fathers in the 1700s with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were some of the first members who were "plug the leaks" (hence their name) in the normal everyday world like monsters and ghosts, making sure such oddities were not discovered or encountered by humans. Operating in secret, the Plumbers took on anything too tough or weird for normal law enforcement to handle.
At the time of its establishments, all governments on Earth became aware of the Plumbers, secretly recognizing them as the best in dealing with alien threats. This would eventually lead to the development of many secret bases within significant locations across the country such as Mt. Rushmore, Fort Knox, and the Space Needle.
