Sanctum for Experimentation of the Human Body (SEHB)

The Sanctum for Experimentation of the Human Body (SEHB) is a genetics and engineering organization that illegally researched the fusion of different powers for mass production, as well as the weaponizing of a human being through the addition of synthetic powers. The SEHB is also responsible for the superpower that eventually passed down to Synapse, though their original test subject was later revived and further weaponized some years after the serum had been lost. Interestingly, the majority of their success was through the implementation of the DNA donated by Amour Casillas.

History
Originally formed on September 16, 1990, the Sanctum never began extensive research on the genetic merging and replication of powers until 1992, when they took a sample of Amour's DNA in exchange for funding her goals. However, they later dropped the deal due to their client's desperate behavior, keeping the DNA and cutting off contact with the super-villain. Just two years later, the SEHB reopened negotiations with Amour, who had gone into hiding, granting her larger funds in exchange for another sample of her DNA and that she would, in essence, harvest DNA from other superhuman individuals for their research.
