Project: M was an Earth-0 organization dedicated to understanding and weaponizing the Meta-Gene, its existence has never been officially revealed to the general public.
Summary
A collaborative project between several government and private groups, including H.O.M.E.L.A.N.D., M.I.N.D., and NATO, Project: M was spun off from funding for the Human Genome Project for the purpose of more fully understanding the Meta-Gene so that it could be weaponized in the scenario that the Cold War between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union went hot. Of particular concern to the founders of the organization was the West's lack of effective combat response in the scenario of the newly unveiled Soviet asset Starshina being deployed in an active combat zone.
Officially dedicated to mapping and exploring the Meta-Gene, Project: M eventually secretly dedicated itself into studying various methods through which Meta-Human subjects could be enhanced.
Project: M was officially dissolved in the aftermath of the end of the Cold War.
Projects
As a primarily research-based organization, Project: M had several distinct projects dedicated to creating Meta-Human weapons.
Project: Northern Cross
Seeking to weaponize the newly discovered field of Psionics, Project: Northern Cross was dedicated to finding individuals with Psionic abilities, studying them, and molding them into super soldiers for use by allied forces should a major conflict arise.
Officially, Project: Northern Cross was a failure, with no successful subjects produced.
Project: War Dog
Primarily based around enhancing Meta-Human soldiers through the use of cybernetics, participants in Project: War Dog were stripped of their previous identity and granted new ones with positions within the combined NATO armed forces, with the armed forces they ended up in being selected depending on their country of origin. Once officially integrated, members of Project: War Dog were assigned to the War Dog unit of the NATO Allied forces.
Although they have since been retired, the War Dogs are the only Project: M subjects to have officially seen active combat.
