The GM in me asks, how is all this highly-improbable number-crunching relevant to a campaign? Players won't read it, and it has nothing to do with a story or adventure in anything but the most peripheral way. And why is everyone written up as characters from "Hitman" or "Salt"? Is there a plot here about child-prodigy super-soldiers, a la "Black Widow"?
There really isn't a reason I can see to require they all be so young and exceptional, unkess that's a key part of all this. Otherwise, the "why" of it is escaping me. Do you have a metaplot in mind for your campaign that would maybe put all this in perspective?
