## Incarnations

* **Weapon I** was a U.S. government project administered by the U.S. Army to create a new line of Super-Soldiers for World War II. Also known as Project: Rebirth, Operation: Rebirth & Project: Super Soldier. The project resulted in the creation of the icon, Captain America.
* **Weapon II** focused on the experimentation on animals. The only surviving subjects would be a genetically modified squirrel that later had to put down.
* **Weapon III** remains a mystery.
* **Weapon IV** initially experimented on various ethnic groups & prisoners with the SO-2 serum. However, one of their doctors, Dr. Theodore Sallis, would be turned him into Man-Thing.
* **Weapon V**, also known as Project Venom, started off as the Sym-Soldier Program & focused on bonding wounded soldiers to symbiotes. They engineered symbiote super-soldiers using research from earlier super soldier programs. Weapon V was later put on hold due to it causing the deaths of many personnel.
* **Weapon VI**, also known as Project Power, was spearheaded by Dr. Noah Burstein. The experiment would result in Luke Cage receiving his powers.
* **Weapon VII,** better known as Project Homegrown, was the experimentation on human soldiers during the Vietnam War. All of the known participants died during the process.
* **Weapon VIII** focused on the use of drugs & hypnosis to trigger assassins/sleeper agents.
* **Weapon IX,** also known as Project Psyche, was a psychological program ran by Dr. Michael Hunt.
* **Weapon X** is one of Weapon Plus' infamous projects. Per an agreement with the CIA & Canadian Government, the operation took place in both countries. The focus was was to empower mutants whose memories were often altered or deleted. The subjects include the members of Team X (Wolverine, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, John Wraith & Deadpool), who were led by Major Arthur Barrington.
	+ **X-23** is also a result of Weapon X, though it would happen decades later. Its purpose was to recreate the original Weapon X experiment & after the 23rd try, they made his biological clone.
* **Weapon XI** remained a mystery for years. Spearheaded by Malcolm Colcord, the program was going to bond Daken's bones with Muramasa metal in hopes that he could take down Wolverine.

### Weapons from The World

Weapons from The World were created inside The World, a British facility that warped time to grow & develop an entire civilization solely for the production of super-soldiers. The result was to be a team called the Super-Sentinels, a mutant-hunting team of "superheroes" with a base in a Weapon Plus space station.

* **Weapon XII:** **Huntsman** was the first living weapon created employing artificial evolution and nano-sentinel technology. He would be later killed when Weapon XIII activated his kill switch.
* **Weapon XIII: Fantomex** is the result of experimentation with technological-human hybrids. It resulted in the creation of Fantomex, who rebelled against his creators.
* **Weapon XIV: Stepford Cuckoos** was created by John Sublime, using eggs stolen from Emma Frost. Originally numbering in the thousands, only five of them survived & were created to entrap the Phoenix Force to use its power to fuel their psychic abilities so they can wipe out all mutants on earth. Their programming failed thanks to Emma Frost & Professor Charles Xavier.

## Trivia

* Project Rebirth was not originally supposed to become a series on experiments & was retroactively named Weapon I. The contributors of Project Rebirth were Abraham Erskine, Howard Stark, Chester Phillips & Peggy Carter. They are not listed as former members because they were not part of the entire organization.
* Project Rebirth allowed the concept to grow & expand, leading to the start of the larger operation now known as Weapon Plus. It is considered by Weapon Plus to be its most successful product.
* Weapon Plus has also conducted experiments on Marrow, Mercury & Aurora.

## Notes

* All of current & former members have been part of Weapon Plus.
