Biography[]
In preparation for his plans to conquer Japan, Mister Asmodi sent his agents to assassinate key members of the International Police. In response to Big Nova's campaign of terror, the IP formed a team called "Strada 5" to combat the international crime syndicate, whose leader Kansuke Horita/Pegasus was the son of one of the International Police whose assassination Asmodi had ordered.
Asmodi later sought to get his hands on the Beta 72, a nuclear substance capable of causing a similar reaction to that which destroyed Hiroshima. He sent Tokyo Number 13 to steal it, but 13 was thwarted and captured by Strada 5 before Asmodi could kill him for failure. Asmodi later sent his assassins to ambush Strada 5 and take back 13. They manage to bring 13 to their lair, but Andromeda was able to use her psychic abilities to locate where Big Nova's headquarters was. Pegasus then went to storm the hideout, retake the Beta 72 and kill Mister Asmodi to avenge his father. However, Asmodi used 13's dead body as a decoy before setting the headquarters to self-destruct while he and his elite assassins escaped. Pegasus managed to get out of the base before it exploded, but Mister Asmodi had his assassins dress up as decoys of him to elude Strada 5. While Jupiter and the other Strada 5 members handled the decoys, Pegasus went after Asmodi. He managed to corner Mister Asmodi, but Asmodi then revealed that he had strapped a bomb to the Beta 72, which would go off unless Pegasus shot the bomb off. Despite wanting to avenge his father, Pegasus used his last bullet to shoot the bomb off and save everyone while Mister Asmodi escaped on a helicopter. While Big Nova was destroyed, Mister Asmodi vowed to found a new Big Nova and Jupiter speculated that Asmodi would soon form another criminal organization to get revenge on them.
