A.D.V.E.R.

A.D.V.E.R.s (standing for Anomaly Detection and Verification Enforcer Robots) are a type of law-enforcement robot designed by Jormungandr Engineering to detect Deviants, Mutants and other superpowered individuals, assess their potential threat level and if needed detain or terminate the target. Initially used exclusively by the SRD following the 2015 K'keeri Invasion and repealling of the Return to Normalcy Act A.D.V.E.R Units were sold to many governments around the world in order to deal with potential threats.

Design

A.D.V.E.R.s have a stocky humanoid body, their recognition software is housed behind a faceplate that attempts to give the robots a friendly, smiling appearance. They come in a variety of colors and can be customized with a nations flag or colors to denote where they come from.

History

The first A.D.V.E.R.s were built in 1978 by robotics company Jormungandr Engineering, following a commission by the Supernatural Response Department creating the heavily armored and weaponed security robots with advanced DNA scanning software that could differentiate normal genomes from any atypical ones and have the firepower necessary to deal with any resistance they may put up.

In 2022 a fleet of 6 A.D.V.E.R. units were shipped from the capital to Orca Point, Oregon, in order to protect the citizens from the increasing rate of mutant events in the city.

One unit was destroyed by a brawling Ben Blacksnake and Rolf Maxwell, but was able to call the other 5 from across the city in order to subdue and/or destroy the dinosaurs. Luckily the robots were tricked by the pair taking human form and hiding. At which point the A.D.V.E.R.s had completed their objective and were returned back to the capital

Public Reception

How one feels about A.D.V.E.R.s is usually dependent on how they view superpowered people as a whole. Many anti-powered advocates maintain the position that the A.D.V.E.R.s are an important defense against potentially dangerous deviants and mutants. while many others view the robot's DNA scanning capabilities as an unethical breach of privacy and wholly unnecessary as a protective measure.

Trivia
