New 52
At the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe and the Wildstorm Universe were combined and reset. In this new universe, the characters and concepts surrounding Stormwatch were introduced through the Stormwatch series. In this series, the team had many members but the most prominent included Adam One, Jenny Quantum, the Engineer, Jack Hawksmoor, Martian Manhunter (Reading Order), Midnighter (Reading Order), and Apollo.
Stormwatch’s modern day adventures, in this era, mostly centered around protecting Earth from aliens. However, this era also included flashbacks to Stormwatch teams from the past, who focused on protecting Earth from more supernatural threats. These activities are mostly shown in the first half of the New 52 before the Stormwatch series was canceled and these characters and concepts began gradually disappearing.
