Wild Cards is Martin's collaborative effort with dozens of other writers over more than three decades. In 1946 the WW2 hero JetBoy died when he prevented an alien bioweapon from being fully deployed. If it had gone off as intended millions would have died. As it was thousands were affected by the 'Wild Card' virus. Most people drew the Black Card and died. Many others drew a Joker and were turned into hideous freaks of all sorts. A luck few drew an Ace and gained fantastic powers for good or evil.
