The Armorines start as a response by the U.S. Government to the perceived threat of the powerful alien Manowar Class Armor controlled by Aric Dacia. Under the leadership of CIA agent Peter Garrett and U.S. Marine Colonel Gardner, the United States Government investigates the existence of aliens on Earth. After collecting and modifying a few examples of Spider Alien for their own use, and also monitoring Aric’s use of the X–O Manowar armor, the government determines that the armor is too powerful to be in anyone’s hands but their own.
To that end, the government develops Project: Deep Freeze, a plan to lure Aric to Antarctica, where he will be subdued and stripped of his armor, which will then be taken to Amundsen-Scott Station, a U.S. Government base that has been built into a massive crater.
Project: Deep Freeze fails, but using the alien weaponry the government has already collected, and data gathered by examining the X–O Manowar , brilliant weapons technology expert Dr. Phillip Zahn develops the Armorines’ battle suits. These advanced battle suits are worn by a group of specially trained Marines, and each Armorine in the field has a “co–pilot” back at the base that remotely controls certain aspects of the armor’s functions.
This set–up makes the Armorines the finest combat unit the world has ever seen.
Following a massive upgrade of the Armorines' suits, they all lost their armors during a battle with Phil Seleski, the hero known as Solar. Whether they received any replacement equipment remains to be seen.
