Also known as: Special Wing
Royal Air Force
Allied Forces
In 1942, the Secret Intelligence Service obtained evidence that the Nazis were experimenting with x-gene mutations as part of their eugenics program. In response, the British Government - in cooperation with her Allies - ordered the Ministry of War to begin Operation Pelius: an ongoing mission to recruit, train, and deploy superhuman soldiers to help bring about an Allied victory over the Axis powers.
Though administratively considered part of the Royal Air Force Regiment, Special Wing was a joint service task force made up of soldiers and civilians who either possessed remarkable paranormal powers, or were considered experts in the study of such abilities. Unlike America, Britain chose to recruit individuals with existing abilities rather than attempting to create a supersoldier of it's own; they also chose to maintain the utmost secrecy surrounding Operation Pelius, rather than using their supersoldiers as a propaganda tool.
Special Wing worked closely - but secretly - with other cutting edge military units developed during the War: including paratroopers, amphibious commandos, and the Special Air Service. Though never officially recognised for their actions, classified records reveal that Special Wing played a significant part in bringing about several important victories, as well as neutralising several dangerous Axis projects.
Following the Allied victory, Operation Pelius was officially brought to an end in 1947. The concept would go on to be revisited a number of times however, as Operation Damocles during the Cold War, and as Section 13 in modern times.

Out of Character
"Special Wing" is intended to be a non-American version of Captain America-centric teams such as The Invaders from Marvel Comics, or the Strategic Scientific Reserve from Captain America: First Avenger. While being part of the Royal Air Force makes no logical sense in the real world, it does make it sound awfully British.
