Operation: Alpha 1940s

From HOTGT

Operation: Alpha was formed on special order by the President of the United States. During World War II, O:A served as both an elite strike-force and a propoganda machine. Despite only existing as a team for a short time, Operation: Alpha defined the world's concept of I-heroes.

Important Events

1944

• Foo Fighter takes part in the bombings of airplane factories in Germany, marking the first public debut of an Impossibility as a superhero.
• Operation: Alpha, a team of impossibilities formed by the US government, is debuted on D-Day at the Battle of Normandy. Their use in the battle is a stunning success, reducing allied casualties to less than ten thousand.
• Operation: Alpha takes part in the Battle of Guam.
• The Battling Bull leads the charge when the Allies land in Athens.
• The Battling Bull leaves Greece when a civil war breaks out, refusing to take sides in a fight he consideres pointless.

1945

• Operation: Alpha and the People’s Heroes act as personal bodyguards to Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin at the Yalta Conference.
• Foo Fighter takes part in the firebombing of Tokyo while the rest of Operation: Alpha, including a newly rejoined Battling Bull, help in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
• The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki attract the attention of the Entity. Horrified at the dimensional impurities leaking into reality, the Entity steals the focus of the leak (the American Centurion armor) and seals it in stasis in a vault at the bottom of the ocean. Impossibilities cease to exist.

2000

• A corporate sponsored exploration group, Myth Seekers, finds the American Centurion armor while searching for evidence of Atlantis. The armor is recovered and the US Navy contacted. An aircraft carrier is quickly dispatched to retrieve the armor. There is little time to test it, however. In the US, Mikili Sokav, descendent of the Battling Bull, gains his grandfather’s powers while being transported through a small town on the way to prison. Declaring himself the Minotaur, he lays waste to half the town in blind fury before Serpent Woman, Code Breaker, and Foo Fighter, retired and living in a nearby city, arrive on the scene. They die during the battle but their sacrifice prevents the loss of additional lives and buys the Navy enough time to put Leon Washington in the American Centurion armor and get him to the scene, where he defeats a tired Minotaur.
