The Centipede is a type of injector device that injects a modified version of the Extremis virus into a human body. It was seen to be used on Mike Peterson. It is noted to contain alien metal, Gamma Radiation and a solution resembling the Super-Soldier Serum that created Captain America, essentially making it a pot luck for super powers.[1]
Capabilities[]
Centipede infusions result in dramatically enhanced strength and resilience granted to the wearer. The cocktail of substances have also been imperfect through the early phases of experimentation, and subjects have become terminally unstable like the original Extremis carriers before them. In Mike Peterson's case the explosive side effect has been apparently rendered inert by the effects of a Night-Night Gun. Other users were later protected by use of Scorch's blood.[2]
