World Mission

World Mission was the premier global organisation of superheroes which spanned a number of years and was operated primarily out of the United States. It was based out of two primary locations, its training grounds in Hawaii and its hovership headquarters, World Mission met its downfall in 2016 due to the tripartite impacts of the attacks of Grimskull and his followers, allegations of widespread corruption and cover-ups of serious wrong-doing, and its abandonment by a number of its remaining heroes. It was essentially succeeded by Armored Core.

Funding

World Mission was financed through two distinct mechanisms. The first was funding from world governments. The second was from commercial enterprise/brand deals. World Mission was understood to have been predominantly funded through the United States, for which they gave preferential treatment. It is also the case that countries which did not contribute to World Mission funding would not receive protection. This would lead to controversy on several occasions such as in Ukraine in 2016. As for brand deals, the likeness of the famous World Mission superhero Star Man was used with Star Bars until his disappearance in 2016.

Corruption and Cover-Ups

World Mission was known to only assist with crimes and turmoil in countries which contributed to its funding, potentially giving preferential treatment to those which supplied it with the most funding (the United States). It is also significant to consider how a majority of its leadership and members were also American. Questions were raised over how some of its leadership were elevated to positions of responsibility including 'the General' who, despite later being regarded as highly incompetent, was briefly the leader of the World Mission between the death of Queen and the General's subsequent death. These problems are nevertheless dwarfed by the issue of 9/11.

World Mission is responsible for covering up the true cause of 9/11, the nation-shaking event of 2001 in the United States where the Twin Towers were destroyed by a supervillain. World Mission established that Grimskull was responsible for this attack when, as was later revealed in 2016, they had in fact been caused by World Mission member Deathpan.
