AIM (ADVANCED IDEA MECHANICS) Villain Team AIM (ADVANCED IDEA MECHANICS) Villain Team AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) is a subversive organization dedicated to creating a worldwide technocracy – or rule by scientists. As far as the public at large is concerned, AIM is a legitimate munitions corporation with a sizable research and development department for advanced experimental technology, albeit one that has a shady reputation for questionable ethics. In fact, the United States government agency SHIELD is a known client of theirs (see SHIELD). Secretly, AIM is the number one supplier of advanced technology to the criminal element. A number of costumed villains have purchased technology from them. The most common piece of AIM-tech in use with the super-set is an advanced ballistic fabric which is often sold to government agencies and various costume shops, such as the one owned by Gladiator; it is estimated that the majority of superheroes and supervillains alike who don't wear uniforms made of the unstable molecules developed by Reed Richards have their uniforms made from AIM's ballistic fabric (see Gladiator; Mister Fantastic). Most supers are not aware their uniforms are made from AIM's ballistic fabric. By all reports, AIM was founded in the aftermath of World War II by Dr. Arnim Zola, a German scientist who became disillusioned with what he saw as the limited vision of the future entertained by the Nazi elite and willingly defected to the United States during the final year of the war (see Zola, Dr. Arnim). Zola started AIM with the idea of creating a super-intelligent ruling elite. At first, Zola recruited fellow German scientists, most of whom had originally worked with him with the Nazi Hydra science division (see HYDRA). Other scientists were soon recruited from Soviet work camps and American universities, where their own ideas were considered too radical and/or impractical. Most of AIM's projects netted the organization a good deal of money, legally and illegally, through patents and black market sales. Other projects were much more secretive. Several of these projects would have sparked an apocalypse, if it hadn't been for the timely intervention of espionage agents from various agencies worldwide. The most recent was a series of orbital seismic wave generators that would have caused earthquakes and volcanic eruptions all over the world; this attempt was thwarted by Nick Fury and Natasha Romanov, working for the CIA (see Black Widow; Fury, Nick). Unknown to the world, Dr. Zola is still the Head Scientist of AIM, due to having transferred his mind into a younger cloned body. However, the recently created being code-named MODOK has assumed control of a number of AIM's plants and secret bases; Zola rightly fears that MODOK is after his position (see MODOK). First Appearance: Game-Mechanic Details: AIM is the primary supplier of TL 9 and 10 weaponry and technology for not only governments and corporations, but also a number of other subversive organizations and villains – and the occasional anti-hero who doesn't question the ethics of who he's buying his guns from. The average TL of the equipment used by AIM's soldiers is TL 9 with some TL 10 equipment (particularly weaponry), with the occasional TL 11^ or even TL 12^ experimental device. As such, the TL of AIM's personnel is TL 9. The ballistic fabric used in the creation of the majority of superhuman uniforms is Reflex armor (Ultra-Tech, p. 172), tailored off the Reflex Suit (DR 12/4*, full body, including head).

  • Marvel/ Dc Secret Files A.R.G.U.S / S.H.I.E.L.D
    MARVEL/ DC SECRET FILES During these sessions you will take place of one of these superheroes from both worlds to discuss the take on action, the strategy, explain the reasons to proceed from certain way and giving enough intelligence and ideas to approach conflicted countries and regions where certain heroes from an specific nationality couldn’t enter due to political motives. OVERVIEW Dangerous objects and devices have fallen into the hands of both Marvel and DC villains. It is the mission of the UN to assign rescue missions of these objects located in different parts of both universes to avoid a possible collision of worlds and being used against humanity. The General Assembly of the United Nations and the Security Council has given special powers to heroes of different countries (and universes) to take action on behalf of the governments of the world to avoid a catastrophe and to be able to fight with the opposing forces that have taken possession of these devices, threatening humanity with them and disrupting world peace forming a Special Force. Recon missions have been done by Black Widow, Catwoman, Hawkeye and Plastic Man and we have gathered information of different objects that are guarded by villains in different locations of both universes. Some in the Marvel universe and others in the DC universe. Each artifact has been enclosed in a magic bubble that prevents its use to any being that has possession of it. But this enchantment created by Doctor Strange and Doctor Fate has expiration time. Within 48 hours, it will be deactivated and anyone who has any of these devices in their possession will be able to freely use them.

    THE UNIVERSE Interviews with and mementos from “THE MAN” who changed comics and pop culture Includes rarities from THE STAN LEE ARCHIVES! edited by Danny Fingeroth and Roy Thomas CONTENTS About the material that makes up THE STAN LEE UNIVERSE Some of this book’s contents originally appeared in TwoMorrows’ Write Now! #18 and Alter Ego #74, as well as various other sources. This material has been redesigned and much of it is accompanied by different illustrations than when it first appeared. Some material is from Roy Thomas’s personal archives. Some was created especially for this book. Approximately one-third of the material in the SLU was found by Danny Fingeroth in June 2010 at the Stan Lee Collection (aka “ The Stan Lee Archives ”) of the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, and is material that has rarely, if ever, been seen by the general public. The transcriptions—done especially for this book—of audiotapes of 1960s radio programs featuring Stan with other notable personalities, should be of special interest to fans and scholars alike.

  • The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance
    Psychological Review Copyright 1993 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 1993, Vol. 100. No. 3, 363-406 OO33-295X/93/S3.OO The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance K. Anders Ericsson, Ralf Th. Krampe, and Clemens Tesch-Romer The theoretical framework presented in this article explains expert performance as the end result of individuals' prolonged efforts to improve performance while negotiating motivational and external constraints. In most domains of expertise, individuals begin in their childhood a regimen of effortful activities (deliberate practice) designed to optimize improvement. Individual differences, even among elite performers, are closely related to assessed amounts of deliberate practice. Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the result of intense practice extended for a minimum of 10 years. Analysis of expert performance provides unique evidence on the potential and limits of extreme environmental adaptation and learning. Our civilization has always recognized exceptional individ- because observed behavior is the result of interactions between uals, whose performance in sports, the arts, and science is environmental factors and genes during the extended period of vastly superior to that of the rest of the population.

  • The Empowering Squirrel Girl Jayme Horne Submitted for History of Art 390 Feminism and History of Art Professor Ellen Shortell M
    The Empowering Squirrel Girl Jayme Horne Submitted for History of Art 390 Feminism and History of Art Professor Ellen Shortell Massachusetts College of Art and Design All the strength of a squirrel multiplied to the size of a girl? That must be the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (fig. 1)! This paper will explore Marvel’s Squirrel Girl character, from her introduction as a joke character to her 2015 The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl ​ comic series which is being harold as being extremely empowering. This paper aims to understand why a hero like Squirrel Girl would be harold and celebrated by fans, while other female heroes with feminist qualities like Captain Marvel or the New Almighty Thor might be receiving not as much praise. Squirrel Girl was created by Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko. Despite both of them having both worked for Marvel and DC, and having written stories about fan favorites like Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and others, they are most known for creating Squirrel Girl, also known as Doreen Green. Her powers include superhuman strength, a furry, prehensile tail (roughly 3-4 feet long), squirrel-like buck teeth, squirrel-like retractable knuckle claws, as well as being able to communicate with squirrels and summon a squirrel army. She was first introduced in 1991, where she ambushed Iron Man in attempt to impress him and convince him to make her an Avenger. That’s when they were attacked one of Marvel’s most infamous and deadly villains, Doctor Doom. After Doctor Doom has defeated Iron Man, Squirrel Girl jumps in with her squirrel army and saves Iron Man1 (fig.
