Or you worked for them.

And it's possible Aeon was a 'good' organization back then.

Good point, there's *nothing* to say that some of those former stalwarts couldn't have been villains in the Adventure! Era.

On a side note... that train incident probably involved someone who had super-strength, hyper-movement, and probably flight.  Sound like anyone we know?  It more or less mirrors a scene from one of the superman movies.

Assume that Aeon *did* find "whoever" did it.  Decades later, he'd probably look a lot like Pax. ;)

That's certainly a plausible interpretation. If Pax was the nova in question, being so old (and coming from the region he did) would certainly explain some of his canon reactionary/authoritarian personality traits.

Well, I think that given: 1970 "A dramatic increase in super-normal events. Normal human society is amazed by the achievements and aghast at the actions of unusual individuals" Trinity Rulebook, p. 82 And Whitley Styles talks about the restructuring of Aeon and Divis Mal in 1977. Aberrant Players Guide, p. 57 We can assume that 1)someone created a Hammersmith/Divis Mal style effect and 2) the restructuring of Aeon was due to this event, because of the increase of supernormal events and the influx of superhumans.

Because of the vague description of 1943 on Adventure! Rulebook, p. 261 I feel that we can only assume that Dr. Primoris 1)exhibited a level of power seemingly mysterious to his peers and 2)he is a Nova at this point. Maybe he Erupted during the battle, maybe he had undergone Chrysalis already, maybe he had a 'Quantum generator' Gadget.

For an Aberrant/Trinity game it makes the most sense for Divis Mal to have been experimenting with exposing people to Quantum energies, and the reorganization of Aeon quelled the effects temporarily. For Adventure! it makes more sense for a Hammersmith event, perhaps by Divis Mal, perhaps Aeon and/or another superhuman organization.
