Re: Worlds Enough
Supers/Black Ops? - "Overlords"
It was quite by accident that Josef Mengele discovered that a combination of slow vivisection, vile hormonal treatments, and certain agonizing chemicals applied in a particular sequence would bring forth quite extraordinary abilities in people...if they survived. It was his bad luck that one of his early "successes" escaped the camp with copies of Mengele's notes and tried to reach the Polish Resistance.
Lots of ways this can go:
- Nazi supers trying to catch the lone Polish survivor
- The survivor gets through, so it's a race against time for the Resistance to create its own supers before the Nazis find them
- They lose the race...it's the few survivors trying to reach the Allies (but not the Russians) with the secrets to these powers
The other thing about this background is, anyone becoming a super has to go through truly horrendous torture, enough that nearly anyone would be killed. So there's a reason you don't have to make any political or military leaders supers if you don't want to; they chose not to go through the horror, or...didn't survive.
Plus, what kind of person chooses to go through something like that? (Megalomania, anyone?) And...what kind of person comes out of it...??
