SCENARIO: THE GAMMA SYNDROME
THE DESTRUCTIVE PLOT: Using his encephalo ray to mind control the Wizard and Rhino, Ultron forces the two super criminals to steal a Gamma Particle Core from Empire State University. The diabolical robot will use the core in his Gamma Wave Generator. This enormous device is capable of radiating a self-propagating wavefront of gamma rays that would engulf the North Eastern Seaboard of the United States in a sort of fluctuating gamma-powered force field a thousand miles across. The immense exposure would cause widespread radiation sickness, trigger millions of cases of cancer, and spawn potentially lethal and uncontrollable gamma mutations among the affected population.
THE HOOK: Player Character Heroes might be on campus as students or guest lecturers. Peter Parker might be a student at Empire State U (or in his later incarnation as a High School Science Teacher, he could be leading his students on a rather ironic field trip there). Bruce Banner could be in town wanting to use the Experimental Gamma Particle Core to effect a cure. If they aren't present for the initial theft, almost any hero group would think stopping the latest incarnation of the Frightful Four would be child's play, only to run headlong into Ultron!
THE PLOT THICKENS: Wizard and Rhino, reinforced by a mind controlled Sandman (or other favorite villain of the GM), begin stealing components for Ultron's Gamma Wave Generator. Rare alloys of beryllium and vibranium, complicated energy channelling circuitry, and other items of ultra-technology are all fair game for the thieves. They could raid high-tech heroes such as Iron Man, or even effect a daring raid on the Fantastic Four!
THE RESOLUTION: Eventually the heroes will track down the stolen components to a hidden underground lair buried far below New York. There Ultron awaits, constructing the grand machine of his latest genocidal scheme to eliminate the human species. Can the heroes break the mind control of Ultron's encephalo ray? What will Sandman, the Wizard and Rhino do if freed?
