History
Due to the events of the Secret Invasion and the subsequent Dark Reign, the agency in control of the initiative, S.H.I.E.L.D., is replaced by H.A.M.M.E.R. and its supervillain director Norman Osborn cites the invasion, an incident with the Thor clone Ragnarok, and the revelation to the MVP cloning experiments to the media as justification to shut down Camp Hammond, opening a new camp with a skewed vision of the camp's function. The Camp itself is a repurposed Hulkbuster base in New Mexico. Like Camp Hammond, the camp is primarily used to train drafted super powered young people in the United States who have to be registered with the federal government. However, now there are villains registering as heroes and while recruits are put through basic training they are also being taught specialized classes like "How to Fake Being Champions while Fleecing the Citizens you're Supposed to Protect".[1]
