Committee (Earth-7045)

The Committee is an organization of corrupt businessmen, willing to se a variety of unethical methods to perpetuate the global economy. While the first superhero to disrupt their early operations (if you can call him that) was the Werewolf by Night, the Committee would face greater opposition in the form of Moon Knight.

History
The Committee was a secret organization of anonymous businessmen and financiers. Their purpose was to stimulate what they perceive to be a sinking global economy by any means available to them. Many of the Committee's practices are ethically questionable, and usually illegal. To promote consumerism, Committee members were known to implement a doctrine of fear to "shock" the private sector into investing in various enterprises. One of the earliest examples of this practice involved their decision to employ the disfigured Sarnak, Master of Sound, to create "an army of fear" so that citizens spend more because they feel unsafe. These efforts brought the Committee into conflict with Jack Russell – also known by the sobriquet, the Werewolf by Night. The Committee's involvement with the Russell family included Jack's stepfather, Philip Russell – who was being blackmailed via his wife Laura. When Philip refused to pay, they had her killed - leading Jack to believe that his step-father had been responsible.
