History: In the 1980s during the height of the Cold War the United States of America launched the Hephaestus Project, seeking to genetically engineer superhumans. Within a few years they were creating Optimen grown from fetuses and with in-built powers. In an increasingly unstable world England joined the United States as the 51st State, and the U.S.A. inevitably deployed the Optimen into foreign conflicts, then later handed the Optimen over to the States, who rebranded them as the New Statesmen. Within that group were Halcyon Squad, who had performed black ops overseas. Cleve, the Statesman for Ohio, was one of that group. When another Statesman, Phoenix, turned mass murderer, Halcyon Squad confronted him, and were almost all slain before he was finally taken down.
