Stasis Pods.
First Appearance: "
Shock of the New."
Details: In the early days of
Genomex, stasis pods were created by head researcher
Adam Kane as a means of controlling dangerous new mutants like
Gabriel Ashlocke. Once sealed inside this strong transparent coffin, a podded individual can be maintained in a coma-like state for many years, though he or she is aware of everything happening around it. Potentially lethal new mutants captured by the
GSA during
Mason Eckhart's tenure were placed in pods in Genomex's Section 9 for "future study," along with some GS agents who did not adequately perform their duties. Any pod which was sealed without Mason's personal login opened automatically after six months. After the fall of Genomex, all pods were destroyed except that of
Dr. Ken Harrison's girlfriend, the new mutant
Laura Brooks.
Individuals shown in pods/presumably podded during the series:
Barry "Kilohertz" Sterling, Genomex accountant
Karen Bell, GS agent
Calvin Porter, GS agent Brianna Voight, Gabriel Ashlocke, Mason Eckhart,
Jesse Kilmartin, and Laura Brooks.
