That all sounds good but then why would he be in it? Oh just the whole desert nerve enhancing thing.

Well, why [i]would[/i] he be in it? Hmm.. well, to work! He doesn't have a civilian job, and he doesn't really want one: being a part time 'vigilante for hire' is much more difficult.

And the desert science team was dissolved when they ran out of funding. It wasn't a madhouse of science, it was a just very unorthodox (to actually [i]get[/i] funding) and so inefficient. They didn't mean to work on super soldiers and the like, just cure incurable diseases and whatnot. You could say that a few prominent scientists had their origins in this group, but I didn't want to build a human conspiracy around his origin. Only Wire himself and his associate Gem would be aware of his ties to the project, and thats fine. It makes him less of a lynchpin, and more of a tangent.

And if there [i]was[/i] a conspiracy to his origin, it definitely wouldn't be based in the mortal plane.... But thats nothing to worry about too deeply :P
