Project Venture, also known simply as Venture, is a secret division of the United States government dedicated to destroying the ACS.

Origins
The U.S. military and several major corporations had been collaborating for decades, experimenting on super-humans, extraterrestrials, and mutants, and hoarding advanced technology (human and alien), for both profit and defense. This would set the premise for Project Venture.

Project Venture was founded by Dr. Unknown in 2017, with the original Venture facilities being constructed in a large, abandoned aqueduct outside of Nicktropolis. Venture's agenda back then was to aim their countermeasures at all the seemingly "good" heroes, based on the cynical belief that they cannot be trusted no matter how well-intentioned they seem.

The ACS
When the ACS were formed in 2023, Dr. Unknown, director of Project Venture, was charged with creating effective counter-measures against a rogue ACS member. Bryce McMillions was the secret source of Venture's funding, which allowed it to remain off the books. Venture research branched out in several different directions to develop weapons that would be effective against the ACS.

Professor Carrotstein, in charge of its genetics division, created cloned heroes conditioned to be loyal to the government, such as the Robot ACS.

General Red advised on military tactics and the development of more conventional weapons.

Ludwig Animäl experimented with splicing but his work was judged by Unknown to have failed, and Ludwig was fired.

Venture also collected various pieces of technology in an attempt to use it.

Operatives
Venture was allocated a small contingent of soldiers from the U.S. military. For specialized missions, Venture utilized Team V.2, a black ops team composed of criminals, but led by General Red. The team is no longer active.
