History: The Valiants are a group of superheroes who protect Cuidad Lobo (Wolf City) who formed around the same time as Ultrapato made his first appearance in VillaAve. They were brought together by Tron, a cyborg duck from a dystopian future thirty years from now ruled by Leo, a time travelling government agent. Tron was in his own era the last survivor of the team, and came back to enlist the younger version of the group in aiding him in averting this future. Arriving in the present day, he was surprised to find the legends he knew were not what he had hoped, and so set out to create the team he would one day join.
As well as Leo, the team's other major nemesis is Katoree and her vampire hordes, who plan to take over the daylight world.
