Project Proposal
Lt. Col. Brown, Department Chair
Project # : 35124
Since the end of the Second World War, this nation has found itself as the bulwark of world peace and democracy. This function was met throughout the Cold War, thanks to our ability to harness nuclear and economic methods to push back communism and outlast the Soviet Union. After that, we were completely prepared to do the same to China, as we believed it posed the next greatest threat to democracy. However, as has become apparent in recent events, the greatest threat to the peaceful world is not China or any nation, but instead the rogue metahumans which have wreaked havoc across the world. Some, of course, are more interested in using their abilities to combat general human misery and civilian crime, in an expression of a vigilante power fantasy. Many, though, are content to form criminal bands, which then commit crimes and terror on a scale impossible for normal humans. As has become abundantly clear, the conventional arms of the United States military are not equal to the task of keeping these metahumans in check.
There is, however, a solution, which lies in the third group of metahumans, those who pretend as though their abilities do not exist and attempt to live as normal citizens. This group is far more numerous than the other two. It is, therefore, the proposal of this project to draft and train a metahuman taskforce, one capable of handling the growing global threat rogue metahumans pose. This task force, under the joint command of the United States Special Forces officers, will be trained to infiltrate and defeat metahuman threats across the world. Additionally, this unit will serve as a testing ground for the best method by which metahumans can be further integrated into the United States Armed Forces. The new arms race lies in these metahumans, and to harness them will be as revolutionary as splitting the atom a thousand times over. It is the hope of this department that the project will be approved.

Lieutenant Colonel Brown,
In my due diligence overseeing the armed forces of the nation, your proposal happened to catch my eye. As I am sure you are aware, I have firsthand experience with the destructive power of Metahumans. Unlike the members of the Joint Staff, I understand what threat rogue specimens pose to national security and the necessity of utilizing the Metahuman citizens of our nation in our defense. Therefore I am overriding the current decision of the joint chiefs of staff and authorizing the establishment of the Metahuman Taskforce project, codenamed Foxhound, effective immediately. Please use whatever resources are necessary to accomplish the development of this new branch of the armed forces.
Sincerely,
Lex Luthor
President of the United State of America
With the approval of the historic Project #: 35124, codenamed "Project Foxhound", a clandestine draft of young metahumans was created. Using a complex array of surveillance, they sought out young, vulnerable, American citizens with applicable abilities in order to train them into a special operations force capable of intervening in tactical situations and more importantly, crushing rogue metahumans across the globe. Starting in January of 2012, elements of the FBI, National Guard, and other branches of the military and executive authority collected the first six candidates from the observed Metahumans, both willing and unwilling, and transferred them to the black site headquarters of Foxhound.
This primary infiltration unit of Foxhound is comprised of six young metahumans, trained and commanded by an expert special ops soldier from the Cold War. They act as a secret arm of the United States government as it exerts its influence across the globe. To the majority of the world, they are little more than a conspiracy theory cooked up by crackpots. Their existence is only known by their commanders, and a handful of members of the Justice League.
