Abstract:

The March 2006 issue of Defense ATL introduced a small group of superheroes called the FIST Fast, Inexpensive, Simple, Tiny team. While the concept had been around for a while, this was the first time the FIST acronym appeared in print. The next issue May-June 2006 contained an article titled FIST, Part 5, which laid out the concept in more detail and tied together its previously unconnected elements.
