Introduction

In the wake of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt calls on all meta-humans to come to the aid of their country. Heroes pop up everywhere and they soon band together into hero groups to combat the Axis Menace, with the notable exception of Hawaii. Enter Stanislaus Bridge, Millionaire Philanthropist who wants to create his very own super-hero team.

But who to choose? It's so hard to tell which of these new so-called "heroes" are actually qualified or mere charlatans. To whit, a series of tests to judge the different heroes and their capabilities. Not really so much tests as staged simulations where the participants don't know it's a test. The player characters will be one of the groups tested.

This adventure is based on the DCH module "Who Watches the Watchmen?" (product #227), an adventure for 4-6 characters of 250-500 Hero Points. The main changes are setting in the correct time period, tying in the heroes, and adding some super-villains to give the heroes more of a challenge.
