I would come with a idea of a "PSIonic Mutant Organization Network" (PSI-MON) (done and redone, i know, a better name has to eb chosen).

How about Gestalt? if not for this organization perhaps a villain-esque counterpart perhaps. I know I've been looking for a good organization of this type to hang that particular monicker on, and since I am presently working on a Steampunk (which is now leaning towards Pulp, Steampulp?) campaign setting so who knows when I'll get to use it?

In 1972 Dr Moreau launched his plan to conquer the world. (He actually called himself Professor Proteus, but the name stuck for reasons that will soon become apparent.) He Had invented a machine that allowed him to transform people using genetic samples taken from animals.
After stealing suitable genetic samples and obtaining an implant based mind control machine (from an unknown source, which worries some people to this day) he set up buisness on the Solomon Islands (or any isolated Pacific island chain that suits you) and began kidnapping people (both tourists and locals) transforming them into animal hybrids and implanting them with control chips and forming an army.
Between the super team that tracked him down and the moreaus that could resist the mind control (especially the one that destroyed the control machine), his plan soon went down in flames.
The problem was, despite the machine surviving, nobody could work out how to reverse the transformation. While some moreaus decided to try to go back to their old lives, most decided to try and build new ones.
Due to some good leadership, the Moreau islands are doing OK. Their living standards are no match for a first world nation (they are isolated and have few natural resources), however they are a lot better off than many other nations. With every inhabitant being a low powered super, they are pretty secure. Their primary buisnesses are tourism, medical services, agriculture and fishing and mercenaries.

Who did Prototype, was that malibu?

Think so, ya. Malibu was one of Shooters post-Marvel efforts, yes?

On the "departments of magic" - I have my own take on this called Project M that started out around the turn of the century as an investigation of the paranormal. By WWII, it had become essentially an espionage/counter-espionage agency versus other "mentalist" organizations be they government affiliated or independent. As far as magic is concerned, the government to this day is undecided. Some members of Project M are actually capable of magic and form a sub-agency of Project M. When they file their reports, they file an official report that "cleans up" the magical nature of their adventures but, if a person is able, they can read the true report on the same page.

This sounds very similar to my own "Section M", a special section of the FBI, detailed in <b>Demon Hunter: FBI</b>, a heroic campaign setting I wrote up for Haymaker! a number of years ago, and reprinted in IIRC EZHero #10.

I'd gladly offer it up for this effort, but I recently signed the rights for it over to DOJ for a reprint, but havent heard anything else about it since then {shrugs}.
