Primord
The Primords were savage humanoids created by Stahlman's Ooze.
If the Ooze was touched, the individual would become infected by it. The transformation occurred in stages. First the infected area turned green, and then it covered the entire body. Their faces developed bestial qualities and teeth changed into fangs. They began to generate heat in a way impossible for a human.
Fully transformed creatures grew thick hair and partial hunchbacks. Banding together in groups, they instinctively sought to force humans into physical contact with the ooze that they would themselves transform. The transformation process took several hours under normal conditions, but in heightened temperatures, the full transformation could occur in mere seconds. They could survive great heat and even gunshots. They found cold temperatures, such as those generated by fire extinguishers, to be fatal.
Primords were found both in the Doctor's universe and a parallel Earth. (DW: Inferno)
C19 preserved a small sample of the ooze in the Vault, injected it into a Dobermann pinscher and used it to create a mutated guard-dog known as the Stalker (MA: The Scales of Injustice).
Behind the scenes
- The name "Primord" (from "primordial") comes from the closing credits, promotional and reference material to Inferno. It does not occur in the story itself at all.
