Alphameta Serum

The Alphameta Serum was the final product of the Alphameta Project, a five-year human alteration and weaponization project by the revenant supervillain Lord Lochindorb that took place from 1975 to 1984. During this time, Lochindorb experimented with the copious amounts of red spirit energy produced by his revenant body. While keeping enough to keep his physical form in peak condition and prevent it from deteriorating, Lochindorb "siphoned off" the remaining energy and experimented with it until he was eventually able to convert it into matter, which took the form of a red liquid. This liquid would come to be known as the Alphameta Serum.

The purpose of the Alphameta Project was to find a way use Lochindorb's spirit energy to transform a human into a Meta-Villain, granting them superhuman powers while placing them under Lochindorb's control. After refining the energy into liquid form, which he dubbed the "Alphameta Serum", Lochindorb was able to picture the design and powers of a Meta-Villain in his mind and imbue the serum with the Meta-Villain's personality and abilities. When used to power a Metafication ray used on a human, it would transform them into that Meta-Villain, which would serve Lochindorb until it was killed.

The Alphameta Serum was used only once in 1984 on a pair of gardeners named Elize Cameron and Ethan Gillespie whom Lord Lochindorb kidnapped from the town of Bronston Morrow. Using it, Lochindorb transformed Elize and Ethan into the Meta-Villains Fairy Girl and Sasquatch, respectively. However, the Alphameta Serum had not been sufficiently refined and as a result, fluctuations in the Serum caused the transformations to be incomplete. This meant that though Elize and Ethan technically possessed Meta-Villain powers, they were not subject to Lochindorb's control, keeping their original personalities and free will. The pair wanted nothing to do with Lochindorb or his plans, so they subsequently fled from his base in Kirchester Peaks and hid in the Vertvale City forest, living peaceful lives as gardening hermits.

After the failure of the Alphameta Serum, a frustrated Lord Lochindorb was able to refine it further into Meta-Ether, a viscous red gel that was far more reliable in its transformations. The Alphameta Serum was never used again, rendered obsolete by its far more effective successor.

The Alphameta Serum plays a role in the prologue of "Immortals: Michael and Merulith", and is mentioned occasionally throughout the rest of the series.
