The Department of Extranormal Affairs is an agency of the Executive Branch of the United States government. Formed in 1955, the mandate given to the DEO was to monitor, report, and if necessary, control metahuman activities within the United States. Due to the highly classified nature of the DEO's scope of operations, there is a great deal of murkiness about their activities, costs, and results.

The DEO inherited the [[Super-Soldier]] program from the [[Strategic Scientific Reserve]] following the end of [[World War II]]. Over the following decades, other sub-directorates were established to expand the DEO's knowledge and containment of metahuman related issues.

Multiple directorates currently exist under the larger umbrella of the DEO. Project: [[CADMUS]] began in 1960. It was aimed at research into genetic manipulation and had early breakthroughs into the nature and location of the [[metagene]]. Later iterations of CADMUS would explore cloning and genetic manipulation of living bioweapons-- creatures bred for specific military or industrial applications. After the arrival of Kara Zor-El, CADMUS began exploring alien genome sequencing in an attempt to develop a clone or hybrid of Kryptonian descent.

The [[Weapon Plus]] program was developed as an offshoot of the [[Super-Soldier]] Program. The first Weapon Plus program began in 1948, and a new directive was issued each decade. It was derived largely from the work of [[Abraham Erskine]] and [[Nathaniel Essex]], first in Germany, then in America. The Weapon Plus program targeted individuals who had no known or active metagene sequences to prepare them for superior military activity. Notable successes included [[Alexander Fairchild]] and [[Slade Wilson]]. Active Weapon Plus assets were transferred to [[Team 7]] and, later, the operational detachment code-named [[Stormwatch]].

[[Weapon X]] was a joint DEO/Canadian operation located in Alberta, near Roanoke. The Canadians had their own metahuman research team: [[Department K]]. A mututally beneficial information sharing relationship was proposed and a facility established. However, ethicists and researchers objected to the proposed scope of activity and it was, on paper, shuttered.

Professor Thorton, chief researcher for Weapon Plus, had proposed a series of highly unethical experiments to turn existing metahumans into more specialized weapons. With the help of Essex, Thorton managed to move their operation to the Roanoke facility. There, Essex and Thorton captured several metahumans (particularly several mutants) and forced them to endure sadistic and cruel tests and surgical procedures. 'Graduates' of Weapon X include [[Logan Howlett]], [[Wade Wilson]], and [[Laura Kinney]].

The DEO maintains a borderline illegal and highly classified program called Task Force: X-ray. Colloquially, it is called [[Suicide Squad]]. Metahuman criminal offenders with violent tendencies are offered a contractual term serving the US government, in exchange for Presidential pardons.

Dr. [[Bolivar Trask]] designed the [[Sentinel]] autonomous enforcement units, and [[LexCorp]] secured the bid to produce them. This program was shuttered in 2016 following the [[Sokovian Accords]], and Trask was blamed for developing the homicidal AI supercontroller.

The Weapon Plus program attempted to trigger a metagene crisis in otherwise genetically non-viable candidates. Weapon Plus acquired genetic information from metahumans with useful genetic components and injected that sequence into their subjects. The most viable donor genes came from the mutant [[Logan Howlett]], resulting in regenerative capabilities being the most common success among subjects.
