The truth was they was trying to activate the X-Gene creating Mutants or the M-Gene creating Homo insectus who are immune to radiation.[1] This was the US reaction the growing nuclear threat of the Soviets.[2] None of the subjects were properly informed of this before the experiment began. Most subjects soon perished from radiation poisoning all but one Adriana Soria. Her abilities did not surface immediately, and the experiment was ruled a failure. She later developed spider like abilities.[3]
