Super Heroes Wiki-Prologue

--Edmiao 21:43, 8 June 2008 (MST)I begin the Supers wiki-prologue. I would say that any and all should edit at will. you may change anything that i have written, delete it, alter it, change a single name, add to it, whatever. If anyone objects to things for specific reasons, discuss on the talk page. I present an outline of thoughts that arose from friday post WW below.

Outline

Viho and Brim are acquainted from archaeological backgrounds - specifically, Stone approached Viho in the past to build him some "special" archaeological equipment. Also, maybe Stone has found some artifacts in Brim that Viho finds technologically interesting (new metals, etc.).

Emir abu-Kaliq hires Brim to do a dig somewhere in africa. In this dig they find a coffin/box which is removed by Emir to parts unknown

Later, during Desert Storm I, Elemental is unleased on the battlefeild. Somehow realizing that this was the thing he dug up, Brim starts to feel bad about giving it to Emir. He contacts Viho to seek aid to take down Elemental.

Together they stop Elemental and find his memory book, and are able to erase or strike out the line that Emir wrote that said "you are the loyal servant of Emir abu-Kaliq." Elemental returns to the states under the stewardship of our heroes.

Somehow, would be good to integrate Gabe's and Deiter's characters into the above as well. feel free to add villians, make setting changes, whatever. general descriptions of the characters would be helpful.

Chapter 1: Uneathing an Element

(In which Brim is enlisted by Emir, Elemental unearthed)

Chapter 2: Iraq War - Eruption

On March 20, 2003, a coalition led by the US invaded Iraq. During the lead up to the war, Saddam Hussein was given several opportunities to allow UN weapons inspectors unfettered access to potential weapons facilities. The fact that he did not allow the inspectors in was, in part, evidence that he had significant weapons caches and thus had little to fear from an pre-emptive invasion. Covert US intelligence suggested a possible foundation for this confidence: Iraq had a new weapon.

American intelligence suggests a significant step forward in Iraqi arms in what is initially described as mechanized body armor, but later is seen to be what appears to be a man cloaked in lava (??). It appears that there is only one prototype, but it is unstoppable. On February 2, 2003, the most high tech covert ops (a little help here?) are sent in to neutralize the threat, and are soundly defeated, but yeild valuable intelligence on the threat. Oddly enough, the operator seems to consult an instruction manual frequently when out of combat, as if unfamiliar with the operations of his new armor. This despite the fact that it moves with unimaginable agility for a mechanism of its bulk. Further contributing to the confusion was that this new body armor was never used in combat against US forces, but rather seemed to be concentrating on gaining access to high security Iraqi facilities, actually attacking the red guard. It then left for parts unknown with large boxes of unknown contents, but all indications were that they were extremely heavy. Intellegence speculates that they may be filled with gold pillaged from Kuwait in the first Iraq war a decade earlier.
