Source: Super-Soldier (The late 1980s saw the beginning of research into \'enhancement of human fighting potential\'. The various United States armed services each inaugurated programs to produce super-soldiers. These programs did not see great success until mid-1990. At that time, the worldwide increase in superhuman powers combined with an increase in government funding to produce a wide range of superhumans. But this increase came too late to influence the Persian Gulf War. The super-soldier programs were eventually scaled down and then combined under the NSA. But spinoffs from these programs made it into common use, including the criminal world.) | Species: Human (Most known superhumans are of human origin. Mutated or genetically modified humans are included in this category) | Time: Golden Age (Some superhuman powers are known to have existed early in the 20th Century, or even before.) | Type: Innate (Powers which fall outside the human potential are internal to the superhuman (for the most part). Members of this class include the Balance, Leo, SuperJew, Angora, and Dr. Lithium.) |
