The 4400/WMG: Difference between revisions

== Promicin caused the dystopian future. ==

Throughout the series, there's a constant uncertainty about whether the 4400 and other people with powers wind up causing the brutally divided future world they were supposed to prevent. Fair enough. But in the original timeline, promicin would have been invented in a huge government lab instead of discovered in the brains of abductees, and that would have been even more dangerous. The first test subjects would have been soldiers, making up superpowered special forces similar to what we saw on the series. With time the superpowers would have spread up the ranks and into the government, perhaps also to wealthly private individuals too. Giving superpowers to people who were already powerful would be the perfect recipe for the kind of divided society that our heroes were warned against. The whole 4400 project is an attempt to spread out the superpowers to ordinary people. First through the abductions, then through the promicin injections, then through the contagious version. Jordan Collier may sound creepy but any similarities between his plans and the dystopia are a coincidence.
