The Sentinel Project

"The Weapon to end Wars..."
== Sentinel Project ==
=== Introduction ===
The Sentinel Project stands as a pivotal chapter in the history of enhanced individuals, marking a collaborative effort between S.A.G.E. and the U.S. Government. Initiated in response to the Nazi threat of "The Overseer," a superpowered alien, the project aimed to create the perfect man through the development of a super soldier serum.
== Origins (1939-1941) ==
In the tumultuous years leading up to World War II, the world faced the ominous specter of the Nazi's Ubermensch, "The Overseer." To counter this threat, the Sentinel Project was born in 1939, funded by S.A.G.E. and the U.S. Government. Driven by the brilliant scientist Amadeus August, the project aimed to create a super soldier serum that would elevate individuals to extraordinary capabilities.
== Amadeus August's Struggle (1939-1941) ==
Amadeus August, a dedicated scientist, toiled relentlessly on the Sentinel Serum for two challenging years. The urgency of the project was heightened by the global crisis, and the Nazi threat loomed large. The serum's production was an expensive endeavor, limiting its availability. Ultimately, only one serum was successfully created, and it was administered to U.S. soldier Michael Red.
== Michael Red and the Impact ==
Michael Red, the recipient of the Sentinel Serum, became the first of a new breed of enhanced individuals. His exploits on the battlefield showcased the potential of the serum, and the project laid the groundwork for future advancements in human augmentation. 
It got so popular that he was made as a comic book by Timely Comics in 1941, where he is punching Adolf Hitler in the face. This was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. 
== Evolution in the 1960s ==
In the 1960s, the Sentinel Project underwent significant advancements. A more improved version of the serum was developed and was given to Carl Reagan, a soldier in the Korean War, playing a crucial role in the early conclusion of the Vietnam War in 1968. The use of enhanced soldiers, known as Sentinels which was a spec-op team led by Reagan, had profound geopolitical implications, contributing to the division between North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
== Global Imitation Efforts ==
The success of the Sentinel Project sparked imitative efforts worldwide. Proyekt Stal, initiated by the Russians in the Late 1960s, and The Kodai Kosei Kenkyujo, a secretive Japanese facility established in 1946, aimed to replicate the achievements of the Sentinel Project. Both projects focused on creating enhanced individuals for military and national defense purposes. Japanese more so for safety and Russian more so for the Cold War. 
== Legacy and Current Status ==
The Sentinel Serum remains a rare and expensive commodity, limiting its widespread use. The legacy of the project endures, as enhanced individuals continue to play a significant role in global affairs. The Sentinel Project represents a pivotal moment in history, where scientific innovation and military necessity converged to shape the landscape of enhanced capabilities in the Vigilance Universe.
