Overview
Weapon X was a top-secret military operation facilitiated by the United States government with the intent of utlizing agents gifted with superhuman abilities. Some of their test subjects came from mutant stock while others underwent genetic engineering.

This operation was the tenth such iteration of the Weapon Plus Program and itself became known as the Weapon X Program. The architects of the program were Professor Truett Hudson and Doctor Abraham Cornelius, whose efforts were guided by a mysterious benefactor.
