Revision as of 22:57, 5 December 2008

Frank Hardy is an undercover agent of American Teens Against Crime (ATAC) and the older brother of Joe Hardy, and the son of Fenton and Laura Hardy. The brothers live in the town of Bayport, with their parents and their father's unmarried sister, Trudy.

Frank and Joe are both top field agents for American Teens Against Crime, a top-secret government organization co-founded by their father. ATAC is used for cases where an adult law enforcement officer would be out of place.

Biography

Early years

Frank remembers spending summers at the family fishing cabin at Lake Midnight, when Fenton was on the police force. He and Joe were just children then, but even then they knew that one day they wanted to fight crime, just like their father.[1]

From a young age both Frank and Joe showed that they had inherited his father's skill at detective work, and even about two years before being drafted by ATAC, Frank and Joe became well-known around Bayport for their amateur detective work. The local police department nicknamed the boys, "Sherlock Brothers of Bayport".[2]

Work with ATAC

Frank and Joe were American Teens Against Crime's first ever agents. After leaving the police force Fenton started up ATAC, and impressed by their amateur detective work over the last few years, felt his sons were ready for a job with his new crime-fighting agency.

Since being drafted Frank and Joe have been sent on countless missions, all of which have been successful. They have put many criminals behind bars, and made just as many enemies. There most dangerous enemies may be Shira and Nicolina Noir two sisters who work for Warring Adolescents Revenge Division, a terrorist created to combat ATAC. The Hardy boys first crossed paths with the Noir sisters - who have since become known as the brothers "Opposite Numbers" - onbaord the then new Silverado Bullet Train, on the way to an ATAC assignment in California.[3]

"Wanted"

Because of the nature of their undercover work, Frank and Joe have been in trouble with law enforcement more then once, but never more so when they were wanted in their hometown, for bank robbery. After hiding in the mountains outside of Bayport, and encountering the teens who were committing crimes in their name Frank and Joe finally managed to get the better of their imposters with the help of Fenton.

The set-up was the work of Jake Johansen, Fenton's former on the New York Police Department, who had for years been planning to get his revenge on Fenton and his family, because when on the police department together, Fenton had discovered that Jake was taking pay-off from criminals and taking part in other criminal activities. Jake used his sons, Fred and Jim, who look very much like the Hardy brothers, to commit crime in and around Bayport, to frame Frank and Joe.[4]
