A few individuals were aware of the coming of Homo superior and the fact that they had the potential to replace baseline humans as the dominant species of Earth.
Project: Rebirth began as a collaboration between the American, British and German eugenicists led by Doctors Josef Reinstein (later known as Abraham Erskine) and Koch.
His body was kept in stasis by Nazi scientists, including Abraham Erskine, who sought to replicate his abilities as part of Project: Nietzche, but with little success.
[4] Project: Rebirth, headed by Professor Abraham Erskine (given the alias Josef Reinstein as a cover identity) managed to produce Captain America (Steve Rogers).
Early attempts to recreate the formula resulted in African American super soldiers (most prominently Isaiah Bradley).
Weapon Plus considers Captain America as its most successful creation, despite the fact that Rogers has been at odds with the United States government a number of times.
[5] Weapon II was later captured as part of a group of semi-animal characters including Howard the Duck, Squirrel Girl, Beast, and Rocket Raccoon.
Originally a barrister, he was recruited by the Weapon Plus program to help protect his nation from the approaching Cold War.
However he was stopped by Fantomex and, for the many deaths he caused, subsequently punished by the Captain Britain Corps and flayed alive, his skin machined off and used to form sentient bullets, some of which came to be possessed by Genoshan soldiers.
Weapon V was originally believed to have been performed on ethnic people,[13] but then during the Vietnam War, then S.H.I.E.L.D sponsored program under the pseudonym of Sym-soldier used pieces of the ancient symbiote named Grendel and bonded them to various able bodied operatives in order to fight in the conflict.
However, the program was shut down after said enhanced specimens were driven mad by their second skins, having later been captured by Nick Fury and Logan.
Supplanting volunteers from a mercenary unit hailing out of Eaglestar International as waiting test subjects for virochemically neutered symbiote samples.
The Klyntar used would purposely have their hive link severed so that the presence behind their proginator wouldn't irrevocably madden its hosts.
But it was again put on ice when the demiurgically anointed Dark Carnage went on a killing spree, collecting & harvesting Klyntar derived codex samples from the project, Mars Team and its supervisor Dr. Breen.
Whom offered himself and what remains of the symbiote clad armorines in willing sacrifice to Knull's chosen after being corrupted by the Grendel samples he'd used on himself.
Some of the known participants who died in Project: Homegrown included Andrew Perlmutter, Michael Labash, John Walsh, James MacPherson and fourteen other unknown recruits.
the Black Budget, which managed to create the team known as the Super Soldiers: Dauntless, Gog, Dreadnaught, Revenge, Victory, Invincible, Challenger, and some unnamed super-soldiers.
Weapon XII was "accidentally" unleashed on the Channel Tunnel and fought X-Corporation members Cannonball, M, Darkstar, Rictor, Siryn and Multiple Man.
Ultimaton was recently resurrected in The World and tasked by Fantomex with guarding a hidden chamber which held a child Apocalypse clone created from a blood sample taken from the one previously executed on the Celestial Ship.
The first steps were the reanimation of military corpses, then the wholesale conversion of dead bodies into "Deathloks", modelled after the hero of the same name.
In what was explicitly labelled the Weapon Minus program, one of these scientists, when his branch of the project had his funding and materials cut, was forced to test the resultant mixture of Super-Soldier Serum and LSD on himself, the result was named Doctor Mindbubble, who had the psychic ability to create miniature mind-universes that could trap almost anyone.
They used the Gamma radiation, Beast's Mutant Growth Hormone, Pym Particles and the Lizard formula which resulted in U.S. Army Corporal Todd Ziller becoming American Kaiju.
[27] During the "Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance" crossover event, the occultist Father Pike led Project Hellfire to bond the demon Bagra-ghul onto the recaptured Wolverine, turning him into Hellverine and controlling him into hunting down other mutants.
[28][29] However, Hellverine resists his programming and kills Pike while Ghost Rider exorcises Bagra-ghul from Wolverine and seals him in stone.
[32] The Destroyers' former commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Leon Townsend, volunteers himself to turned into a similar super soldier by Project Hellfire so that he can stop his former team.
Townsend and Doeden help Hellverine and Wolverine kill the demonic empowered Harms, putting an end to Project Hellfire's plans.
To prevent Project Hellfire from going rogue again, Hellverine leaves it under the care of the Destroyers and its sympathetic head researcher Dr.
[34] The World is a secret lab owned by the Weapon Plus Project, in which the program scientists intend to create superior humans employing eugenics, nanotechnology and artificial evolution technology (time is "artificial" at the World and it can be frozen or altered in any way the Program Scientists desire).
The World was partially destroyed when agents of AIM attacked the facilities in order to recover the technology Weapon Plus stole from them.
