A History
O*N*E was founded with the goal of providing a direct competition against the burgeoning secret organization known as S.C.Y.T.H.E. In a direct mirroring of their competition, The O*N*E has officially never existed, and participated in some of the most dangerous 'deniable operations' ever attempted, from industrial espionage, to sabotage, and assassinations.

Under the direct command of Colonel Chester Phillips, and with the financial and technological support of Howard Stark, the organization quickly grew tripling in size in under a year. When war did break out they were ready. O*N*E provided incalculable and vital support to the war effort once the fighting spilled over into U.S. soil through the support of their then newly christened Howard Stark built Derigicarrier: The USS Appomattox.

Of the many successes of O*N*E, perhaps the most well knows is Project Rebirth. Rebirth was the code name of the project which created the first recorded man-made super-soldier, Captain America. While no details are known for certain about the creation of the American super-soldier, it did further spark interest in similar research projects which continue secret to this day.

In more recent years following the end of the war priorities of O*N*E have shifted. They've begun keeping a massive database on known mutants searching for way to neutralize potential threats before they arise. To further this goal they founded the subdivision known as: Sentinel Squad ONE
