The Manhattan Project, or more formally the Manhattan Engineering District, was an effort by the United States, with assistance from the United Kingdom and Canada, during World War II, to develop the capability to endow normal humans with superpowers — specifically the project aimed to grant these superpowers to the American President. The research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, and was begun after the nascent Central Intelligence Agency reported that the creation of superpowers was a technical possibility and that Nazi Germany was already pursuing this technology in order to create their own Übermensch.

abstract
  • The Manhattan Project, or more formally the Manhattan Engineering District, was an effort by the United States, with assistance from the United Kingdom and Canada, during World War II, to develop the capability to endow normal humans with superpowers — specifically the project aimed to grant these superpowers to the American President. The research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, and was begun after the nascent Central Intelligence Agency reported that the creation of superpowers was a technical possibility and that Nazi Germany was already pursuing this technology in order to create their own Übermensch. The project was deemed to be of the utmost importance, therefore secrecy had to be maintained at all costs; in addition to the project's veiled name, a cover story was put out that the Manhattan Project was actually developing a nuclear weapon. This disguise was so well implemented that as part of the cover story, a nuclear weapon was actually developed. More importantly, however, the project succeeded in allowing scientists to imbue the President of the United States with superpowers. Both of these inventions were implemented when President Harry S. Truman personally flew across the Pacific carrying a uranium-based nuclear bomb, which he dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.
