Stasis Pods.
First Appearance: "Shock of the New."
Details: Pods were created by Adam Kane as a means of controlling dangerous new mutants like Gabriel Ashlocke. Podded individuals appear to be in a coma-like state, but according to Gabriel, they are aware of everything happening around them. When a GS agent did not perform his or her duty, or a potentially lethal new mutant was captured, they were placed in a pod and kept in a coma-like state in Section 9 for "future study." Individuals shown in pods/presumably podded during the series: Barry Sterling, Karen Bell, Calvin Porter, Brianna Voight, Gabriel Ashlocke, Mason Eckhart, Jesse Kilmartin, and Laura Brooks. More about stasis pods is here. Mason explains in "Lest He Become" that any pod which was sealed without his 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 mutant Laura Brooks.
