History:
(Heroic Age: One Month to Live#4 (fb) - BTS) - Hearing about the
Resurrection Lily that blooms in the Savage Land for only one day, Mr.
Scrath hired the villainous mercenary Tag Team to retrieve it. He
insisted that they land far from the Lily and hike to it in order to
avoid alerting its protectors. He sent his own man, Paul Taylor, to
supervise the team.
(Heroic Age: One Month to Live#4) - Scrath called in
to check on the Tag Team, who were gunning down small attacking
dinosaurs, and Taylor assured Scrath they would complete the mission.
The team advanced and soon found the heroes Ka-Zar, Zabu, Wolverine,
and Flux near the lily, along with civilians Abbey Sykes and Kelly. The
Tag Team opened fire and Kelly ended up shot. As Wolverine slashed at
Downunder and Zabu leapt on Cujo, BMF traded blows with Ka-Zar, whose
first name he knew. Taylor held a gun to Abbey's head, but Flux ended
the fight by defeating the Tag Team and Taylor in one blast. The
Resurrection Lily was used to save the life of Kelly.
Comments: Created by John Ostrander, Graham Nolan, and Mark Pennington.
During the fight, BMF battled Ka-Zar, and they seemed
to know each other on a first name basis, calling each other 'Maurice'
and 'Kevin'. While it is possible that they have a shared history, I'm
just going to guess they had researched each other and knew the other's
first name.

BMF
(Heroic Age: One Month to Live#4 (fb) - BTS) -
Bradley Maurice Forrester Jr. grew up hating his father. When he became
a mercenary and the leader of the villainous Tag Team, he insisted that
everyone call him BMF. He joined together with Scope, Bonehead,
Downunder, Cujo, and Gearloose and they started getting criminal
assignments for money. Mr. Scrath hired the team to retrieve the
Resurrection Lily from the Savage Land, a healing flower that only
blooms for a day from time to time. With Paul Taylor (Scrath's man),
they went to the Savage Land.
(Heroic Age: One Month to Live#4) - The Tag Team
opened fire on dinosaurs before tracking down the Resurrection Lily,
then they engaged in battle with Ka-Zar, Zabu, Flux, and Wolverine,
with civilians Abbey Sykes and Kelly. During the fight, Kelly was shot,
and they ended up using the Resurrection Lily to save her after the Tag
Team was defeated. During the fight, BMF and Ka-Zar knew each other's
first names, implying either research or a history together.
