The Power Principle

Codename: LEEWAY

Powerset: Undetermined

Randolph Balmoral served as a Senator in 1989 with an eye toward a Presidential nominee bid. He was photogenic and charismatic and he played it all to the fullest extent for one single purpose — gain power. Because of an undisclosed history, Balmoral was having research and development performed on a mutagenic substance during this power bid that he rapidly lost control of, due to his lead scientist’s deflection and theft of the substance. Dale Whitney, Laura Harper‘s fiancee, fled to her hometown with the substance, but was intercepted by Balmoral’s men and the lost substance ended up changing the Clinton House Boys into the world’s first superhumans.

Balmoral has been pursuing them ever since.
