History
The Nerve Ray was a gun used by the Skrull slaver to capture the Thing for the gladiatorial arena of the planet Kral IV. It deadened his nerves instantly so the Thing felt nothing even as he collapsed in an unconscious state.[1]
The Nerve Guns used on Kral IV to keep the alien slaves under control had been redesigned to make them look like the submachine guns that had been used by 1930s American criminals on Earth.[2]Notes
- The Nerve Gun used by the slaver could also change size. It was normally kept hidden in his glove in an extremely miniaturized form but, when activated by a single touch, would enlarge to its full size so that it could be inspected or used.
- The Neuro-Ray that the slaver had aboard his Slave Ship[2] seemed to function like the Nerve Gun and was probably just another name for the same type of weapon.
