Two years prior to the events of the 2017 massacre at the hands of The Slayer, a meeting was taking place inside a chamber.
Sat in a chair overlooking a frozen wasteland from a large window, there was a pale-blonde haired man with eyes the color of the finest emeralds. Wearing a long-coat and sunglasses, he was overseeing operations of one of the most mysterious organizations on planet earth.
The organization was known to the KGB and Mossad as ODIN, a far-right terrorist organization that had been in operation since the end of WWII. The location and headquarters of the organization was unknown, or if it even had a headquarters to begin with—existing as a collection of terrorist cells across the world. Most intelligence agencies doubted this organization even existed. But it very well did.
Its effects were felt like a black hole in the depths of interstellar space: you could see what it does but cannot hope to detect with an optical telescope. That was ODIN.
On the middle finger of the mysterious leader, there was a ring with a gray sword and thunderbolt. That ring bore the emblem or logo of the organization.
He pressed a button his arm chair.
Momentarily, as a hologram appeared through the window of the chamber, the logo of the organization in plain view, grainy as an old analogue television from decades past. On screen, one operator showed his face. He was the leader of the Superhuman development cell, the group that made supersoldiers for the organization, in their quest to supposedly "liberate" the West from "parasites".
"Ah, Operative Jameson. What news do you have for me on the procurement of Serum 1915?" asked the strange man in a formal manner.
"It is extremely expensive to manufacture, Mr. Illusive, twice as much as Compound V per gram. Why don't we switch? You have been insistent on staying to the British derived formula, developed by Dr. John Clayton," stated Jameson, concerned with the expenses of production.
"Well, the dead Jerry's formula has lost its chemical potency since Vogelbaum and is unstable with adult subjects. It takes a larger dose to create a supe of equivalent power, so that evens it out, if not makes Compound V use more expensive. For the price of an Apache helicopter, you can create a medium level supersoldier. To create the Elite, we poured roughly two billion dollars into the dosage in each parent to create them," explained Mr. Illusive. "That was seventy-five percent of our funding in 1998 to create four supersoldiers, made to be more powerful than anything from Vought's teams. That was the price of eight B2 Spirit bombers."
"Point taken," replied Jameson with a smile.
"Glad you see it my way," responded Mr. Illusive showing no emotion.
"Now go get our front-company, MosCorp Parma, to produce more for Operation DOTR in the next two years," ordered Mr. Illusive "I am going to need about a four thousand doses of Serum 1915 by July of 2017."
"This meeting has concluded," said Mr. Illusive as he pressed the button on his desk chair.
With that out of the way, Mr. Illusive turned the holographic display at the dossiers of various Vought employees with the touchpad adjacent to the red, power button, the most interesting of which to Mr. Illusive being Stan Edgar. Stan Edgar was seen as a major threat to ODIN, as he could disrupt Operation DOTR in its infancy with his star supe, Homelander, the stars and stripes boy scout, as Mr. Illusive referred to him. While the newest member of the Elite, The Slayer, was arguably more powerful than Homelander in terms of speed and overall attack power, Homelander was overall much, much more durable. Some ODIN operatives working in Vought state that he could take a nuclear bomb according to some tests done there.
