At the outbreak of WWII, homicide detective Ben Hunter was drafted and sent overseas. Promoted to Lieutenant, he was asked to oversee a special commando force comprised entirely of criminals culled from the Army stockade. These hardcases at first refused his authority until his fists earned their respect. Hunter's efforts galvanized the men, turning them into a hard fighting team that always returned unscathed from their missions to both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operation.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: One the feature settled on the main criminal characters of Brute, Swinger, Snake Oil and Juggler, the other Hellcats just kind of disappeared, apart from the occasional RedShirt. Sometimes unnamed Hellcats would appear, usually brawling with the main characters, so one possibility is that these are the named characters from the early stories.
