Section 12 (Flashback) -
Every year millions of dollars are given in scientific grants by governments all over the world. The money is used to further research and the quality of life for mankind. For each success story there are hundreds of failures. We never hear about failed projects and the strange results these experiments produce. Section 12 is a top secret government facility designed to keep scientific failures out of the public eye. The project's unique and somewhat reluctant "Retrieval Team" is comprised of super-powered beings blackmailed to work for the government.
