Project Phoenix

Since the 1973 Red Star Incident, governments worldwide have built super-soldiers from the cosmic blood and energy that fell across Earth. Their manufactured heroes are presented as symbols of hope, but some are noble, some corrupt, and some monstrous. Every powered hero or villain pays a specific physical, mental, or emotional price for their abilities. At the hidden center is Wolf G.

His Plates of Life, powerful swords he once wielded, are lost and cannot yet be summoned back. Governments secretly call on Wolf as their last resort when ordinary heroes cannot contain a disaster. The public knows him by the rumored name the Crimson Wolf, while humans, gods, celestials, and ancient beings know him as the Right Hand of God, the Christian God's servant who has watched, recorded, and endured countless events across the multiverse.
