Talent was an English-based C64 cracking group, formed by Bod and XXX (both previously in Hotline) in late 1989.1 After a short time in cooperation with the American group INC (at least september 1989), they entered into cooperation with Ikari in november or december of 1989. At the time, Bod and XXX were still the only two members of Talent. After the cooperation with Ikari ended in 1991, Talent continued for a number of years under their own name again. Bod continued as their leader for the duration of their existence. Wicked was their budget release group.
In may 1991 it was reported that Gotcha and Tycoon had both joined, but that Gotcha's stay was short and he left soon after, that Joe Cool, Maniac and Sting joined from Paramount, that Illusionist had joined from Random with the bbs Once Upon A Time, and that Swiss members Dave and Freestyle had been kicked out of the group.2
News in february 1995 that Count Zero had left for Onslaught3 proved the be a misunderstanding - he would ntsc fix for them, but was still only in Talent.4
3rd best cracking group in Nitro #1 (13 december 1991).
12th best overall group in Reformation #1 (6 april 1993).
