Story Roundup
Situation Report
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD- Following the world wide release of Marvel Comics "The Avengers", the US Army has decided they need to make film special effects into a battlefield reality. A high-ranking individual in the Army's "Think Tank" has gone on record as saying that "it seems doable."
The film, which is based on a comic book by Marvel, features a group of individuals that come together to fight the battles that are too big for others. The line up of the team is Captain America -- a regular soldier given a "super soldier" serum and becoming our best, Thor -- the Thunder God from Norse mythology, Iron Man -- A billionaire genius in a high-tech suit of armor, The Hulk -- a science experiment gone wrong where the madder he gets, the stronger he gets, Black Widow -- a sexy super spy, and Hawkeye -- a master marksman that prefers a bow and arrow.
We recently sat down with a source at U.S. Army Public Affairs who agreed to an interview. The Army Captain, who wished to remain anonymous, tried to show us how this was so simple even the Army couldn't screw up this recipe for awesomeness and destructive capability.
Duffel Blog: First off, thank you for your time and for speaking with us about this.
