Story Plot

In 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War, the American government resurrects a lost top-secret experiment from WWII known as Project M. They hire hard-as-nails Lt. Matthew Shrieve to hire obscure metahumans from around the country to join. What he doesn't know is the people recruited were more unusual than Matthew thought. Did the M stand for Metahumans or something else? As he wonders this, Matthew reluctantly hires Sgt. Vincent Velcro, a vampire, Dr. Myrra Rhodes, a gorgon/woman hybrid, Warren Griffith, a werewolf, Dr. Nina Mazursky, a Gill-Woman/mermaid (though mainly Gill-Woman) hybrid, Khalis, a mummy and Pvt. Elliot 'Lucky' Taylor, a mute man resembling Frankenstein's Monster after losing his limbs in a landmine explosion. It's then Matthew realizes the 'M' stands for Monster. Can these ragtag group of misfits find a way to work together to stop a mad Nazi scientist lost since the 30s?

  • @rodriguezjace Phew, thank goodness. I was beginning to lose my sanity..
  • This story is inspired a bit by M*A*S*H* (both the movie and the TV show), some famous Vietnam War set movies, and an unmade John Carpenter movie written in 1988 titled "Shadow Company", which was written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker, and would've starred Kurt Russell as the main protagonist. In it, six US Special Forces members who died in Vietnam are resurrected by a top-secret government experiment and attack civilians in a small town on Christmas Eve. While loosely based, it is a major inspiration for my story.
