Supremas Timeline

Compiled from public news sources.

Summer 1976 to early 1977 - Supremas attempts a coup in Chile. Mutant soldiers entered the capital city of Santiago, which had previously undergone two years of purges and coups due to the Pinochet dictoatorship. Although the Carter administration had soured on Pinochet despite three years of U.S. support under Nixon and Ford, the U.S. chose to honor its previous commitments to Pinochet by jointly, with England, sending troops to combat the mutant forces. The coup was over very quickly, and the mutant prisoners were removed to England. The U.S. used the opportunity and leverage provided by its troops to forcibly enact democratic reforms in Chile and the first true election was held in Chile in 1982 under the new constitution. It was not known publically at the time that the mutants who attempted the coup were part of a larger organization.

Spring 1978 - Supremas terrorist attack in Poland. Mutant commandos destroy a scientific research center run by a trans-European corporation and simultaneously destroy the homes of several anti-mutant organizers in America. The first Supremas Global Communique is issued. The Communique was transmitted simultaneously to media centers across the globe. This was quite a feat given the limited satellite communications outside the military at that time and the generally decentralized nature of the world's media.

December 1978 - Supremas raids a bank. The first publically known member of Supremas, Dhurjati (named for a male manifestation of Shiva), enters a bank in Ho Chi Minh City and kills nineteen people. After disabling the cameras, he and two mutant associates walk out with over $400 million in gold and silver, eluding authorities. A Supremas Local Communique was issued claiming that the gold and silver had been deposited to hire several assassins to kill "underground mutant leaders".

July 1979 - Supremas assassinates Mexican officials. Nine Mexican politicians are held hostage by Supremas mutant commandos, the building enclosed by an impregnable force bubble. An audiotape discovered afterwards reveals that Supremas tortured the politicians until they confessed their complicity in a mutant kidnapping ring that operated in several rural Mexican states. The execution of the politicians also occurred. Subsequent police investigation confirmed what most had suspected, that Supremas operates in cells independent of each other.

[ Rebel soldiers
during Liberian uprising. ] 1980 - Supremas cease-fire. Supremas announces via Global Communique that it has entered into negotiations with the government of Liberia to take over the debt-ridden government via abdication. Liberia does not deny the reports. The military and political situation in Central and North Africa is thrown into disarray by the report. President Carter's outgoing government is negative towards the possibility but Reagan makes sending combat forces a campaign issue and wins in a landslide. Congressional delay due to financial concerns allowed the UN to create several resolutions against the Supremas takeover and launch a peacekeeping force. Although the Reagan White House was against the use of the UN in this kind of intervention, they were presented with a fait accompli. After two years of unsuccessful investigation and several interventions it became clear that Supremas negotiations were taking place entirely telepathically. Finally in early 1983, UN forces captured several Liberian officials who had provably received monies from Supremas in order to secure their support for the Supremas takeover and at least one Supremas cell came into the open to fight militarily. They were defeated and killed by a militia rebel group, sparking a five year civil war in Liberia and ending the Supremas cease-fire.
