While working in a remote research laboratory, Dr. Vance was startled by a sudden, extremely loud explosion from a failing generator. At the exact moment of the explosion, he was holding a distinctive, neon-green flask. The loud noise triggered a massive surge of adrenaline, causing his heart rate to spike and making him tremble with fear.
