History

The program could date itself as far back as operating in World War II. (New X-Men v1 #129) Its purpose was the creation of supermen to fight in future wars. (New X-Men v1 #130) Horace Littleton warned of the dangers of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the overreaching expansion of Weapon Plus leading him to create a counter-program called Weapon Minus. (Captain America v7 #17)

Overview

There were thousands of illegal experiments done on animals, humans and Mutants. (New X-Men v1 #129) Criminals, psychopaths and violent mutations were used in the super-soldier trials that created some experimental advances but these were not reliable repeatable procedures. Attempts were made to control the aggressive response of these subjects through medication but this proved to be a failure. By the tenth incarnation of the program, a new radical behavior modification technique was devised that made use of false memory implants. The goal of Weapon Plus was ultimately the creation of the perfect soldier that would be equipped to win the evolutionary war. (New X-Men v1 #145)

Weapon XIV.

Among the different experiments created by Weapon Plus included:

  • Weapon 0 : a classified experiment. (New X-Men v1 #130)
  • Weapon I : consisted of volunteers. (New X-Men v1 #130) It was considered the most successful application of the technology. (New X-Men v1 #145)
  • Weapon II : experiments done on animals. (New X-Men v1 #130)
  • Weapon III : experiments done on animals (New X-Men v1 #130)

  • Weapon V : testing done on various ethnic minorities. (New X-Men v1 #130)
  • Weapon VI : testing done on various ethnic minorities. (New X-Men v1 #130)

In other media

Films

  • In The Incredible Hulk 2008 film, the organization had a small cameo role when General Ross was seeking to extract an experimental super-soldier serum created by Dr. Reinstein from a cold storage laboratory with the containers being marked "Weapon Plus."

Novels

  • In the non-canon Wolverine: Violent Tendencies novel, there was the Weapon Null Program with its ultimate goal being to engineer human beings as self-contained advanced weapon systems. These proved to be expensive and complex procedures that were required to maintain these subjects. It was sidelined prior to real progress being made in order to make way for more promising projects.
