History: After World War Two began, but before the United
States entered the conflict, President Roosevelt, F.B.I. Director
Hoover, and Office of Strategic Services Director Donovan met
secretly in Washington. They shared a mutual concern over the
rise in Axis spy attempts within the borders of the United States;
they were likewise aware of somewhat widespread sympathy for the
Axis and antipathy for the United States in Mexico, which manifested
itself as aid given to various German and Japanese spies by Mexicans
in both Mexico and the United States. Director Hoover stoutly
maintained that the Bureau was quite capable of dealing with any
spies within the borders of the United States, but freely admitted
that his ability to pursue them over the border into Mexico or
Canada was quite limited. So, after some deliberation, a secret
group, reporting only to the President, was formed: the Federal
Men. Made up of former F.B.I. agents, police, and military men--all
of whom were single and without significant family ties--the brief
of the Federal Men was simple: find spies and capture them--alive
if possible, dead if not. By Presidential Order the Federal Men
were made immune from prosecution on civil or criminal charges
(although internal processes were created to deal with Federal
Men who went bad), and so they were free to go after spies and
extraordinary criminals by whatever fashion they chose, whether
inside the United States or outside its borders. Wearing matching
serge suits, the Federal Men quickly became a sight feared by
both criminal and spy alike.
Powers/Weapons: None of the Federal Men have any superpowers,
but all are in excellent shape, top-notch hand-to-hand combatants,
and excellent shots.
