Am reminded of Ender's Shadow. People like Bean get uber-intelligence, at the cost of a short lifespan.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
This makes a surprising amount of sense.

I then continue by pointing out that our parents may have knowingly or unknowingly taken part in this experiment.
But the question remains: Who was behind it, and why?
^^Too much sense.

Was this a private endeavor, or a government effort to produce a super race?
We may never know.
"Justice!"
But the question remains: Who was behind it, and why?You honestly haven't realized it yet? They are behind it, and they're doing it for exactly the reasons you think. Don't look into it too deeply, though. I wouldn't want you to mysteriously disappear.

But who are they?
It was a government plot. We were supposed to be Super Moral Guardians.

Then apparently it Went Horribly Wrong.

It seems that we are Phlebotinum Rebels, then. Why don't we wear scarves then?

Isn't it obvious? "They" without an antecedent is always the Illuminati.
SHIKI is dead.
Where do the Afclones
fit in?

... It hit me again.
We were meant to lord over humanity, but our Self-Deprecation is a Power Limiter!

That also explains all this troper lust. We're meant to breed to create self replicating Overlords.

Indeed. We're programmed to seek our own kind.
Solstace's request for an all fora meet is the governments attempt to gather us into one group for extermination.

And they'll eliminate us with their "perfect" experiments.
We must fight back.
... But how does Fast Eddie fit into all this?
^^The problem with that theory is that some of us are supervillains, not heroes.

Fast Eddie is the Overseer of our breeding program. He bans the bad material/fake tropers/trolls.

Which government are we talking about? And why are we spread over the world? Hmmm
"You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."
New World Order of course. THE government.

Not here, look elsewhere
That explains my fascination and burning desire of heroism.
An useless name, a forsaken connection.
As we have seen from the Photos thread, and general demographics, tropers are smart and good-looking. This however, comes at a price.
Starting from this point
, however, it seems that most tropers thus have increased likliness of developing genetic disorders.
