Since the creation and net.publishing of GENRE it was soon decided that support materials should be made available to the public. As with most starting game writers I have years of notes from which to draw upon to create several new campaigns. Here I hope to take only the best of what I've created over the years and present it as one 'official' campaign universe.

As with many new projects, the GENRE Universe will take some time to take shape as a fully realized concept in written form. So I appologise ahead of time if it takes longer than I hope it will. Although the 'official' campaign supplements and character will be drawn from my original games, I will be more than happy to include material from other writers. Just send your submissions to me and I will try to edit and post them (along with the proper credits) on these pages. Together we can make GENRE a truly outstanding system.

EVIL, INC. edition 1 published 1997

In the midmorning hours of July 17th, 1994, EVIL INC. made it's first ever appearance. Doc Power and his associate Huntera, broke into Ultra Corp, looking to steal a quantity of ICE-9. ICE-9 was a substance that was reputed to be able to cause mutagenic effects upon humans, granting them limited super powers. As they made their way to the laboratories they met with Assault and Battery, a duo of powerful mercenaries that wished to have the ICE-9 for themselves. Before hostilities could break out, Ultra Man and Mach One, two local heroes retained by Ultra Corp, showed up. Doc Power and Assault both realized that they had a common enemy and united against the heroes. Even outnumbered two to one the heroes drove the criminals back.

Back at Doc Power's lab, Assault explained that the only reason the heroes were able to defeat them was that they had experience working together. Doc Power agreed and proposed that all four of them should team up and train together to defeat their enemies and become even more powerful and successful in their ventures. Over the next few weeks they worked hard under the greatly experienced Assault to develope battle tactics and begin using team work.

Not long afterwards Ultra Corp was again attacked, but this time by a lone villain by the name of Backfire. Backfire, alone, was able to fight Mach One to a standstill, but was unable to defeat him with the arrival of Ultra Man. The two heroes were just about to put Backfire down when Doc Power and his newly formed group, calling themselves the Enterprising Villains In Larceny Incorporated, made their grand entrance. Mach One and Ultra Man soon had to retreat, but not before the ICE-9 and the lab it was in was completely destroyed by the heroes to keep the dangerous drug out of the hands of the criminals. Doc Power approached Backfire and invited him to join their group and Backfire readily agreed.

Ever since, EVIL Inc. has proven to be a thorn in the sides of law enforcement and hero groups across the world. Very few Primes, super powered beings, can withstand their combined might. Combined they are a nearly undefeatable team, bent on the acquisition of great wealth.
