OMNI-Database (3): Project Mindwar is a Mutants & Masterminds sourcebook for a group of villains that emerged from the wreckage of the US Government?s Project Mindwar. Like all of the product in this line, the information is presented as coming from a set of files from OMNI-Labs, which keeps a database on known paranormals. The OMNI-lab files are provided to be printed and used as in-game handouts.

Project Mindwar was an outgrowth of the US supersoldier project but focused on enhancing psychic abilities. An accident destroyed the project, driving most of the members insane but enhancing their abilities. Creating a few dozen (as the GM requires) agents with very minor psychic abilities and five full supervillains:

Agamemnon, formerly the head of the Project Mindwar, his megalomania fully activated by the accident he uses an arsenal of psi-active weapons. Believing himself to be the rightful ruler of the world, he occasionally appears to subdue ?rebels? and advance his control. Agamemnon works as an excellent plot device in his bids to ?rule his world? and with his ability to create new paranormals using the techniques he pioneered at Project Mindwar.

Achilles, invincible super-soldier, as long as he believes in himself. The most powerful of the Project Mindwar paranormals, Achilles is a nearly unstoppable warrior, unless he doubts his abilities, then he flips into a non-powered form. Achilles works as a freelance supersoldier, often finding himself serving Agamemnon.

Grim, is just that. The disaster at the Project left him almost incapable of feeling emotions. Using his awakened talents and a cache of experimental drugs from the Project, he works as a mercenary, seeking something, anything to make him feel again.

Interceptor, a USAF officer seconded to Project Mindwar who focused his latent abilities though a battlesuit. After the accident, he now sees anything flying in US airspace as a threat to the country to be destroyed. He maybe played as simply insane or as a tragic hero, trying to do what he thinks is right.

Mako, who can control his own shape through ?micro kinesis,? is a dangerous killer for hire. Possibly the most dangerous and ?evil? of the paranormals created by the accident.

A solid group of characters and a possible origin point for a psychic powered hero (either as part of Project Mindwar or as one of Agamemnon?s subjects). It should not be difficult to fit Project Mindwar into most modern M&M campaigns.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Solid with a fair number of hooks built into the characters.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Would have liked a bit more information on how the government was trying to deal with these villains.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

I picked up Project: Mindwar on a lark, needing to pad out an order to get a nice round number on my credit card (don't ask!). I'm quite glad I did, though, because the concept behind it is very interesting, and the villains are of great interest to me. The wanted posters at the end are my favorite feature, and I plan to use them as soon as possible. The free Second Edition upgrade to this product has only increased my regard for it, and I think I will be checking out more Clockwork Golem Workshop Superlink offerings in the future.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
