After all, a Protector can be as powerful as the being from which he was cloned.

The width and degree of the powers used by the current Paragon Protectors suggests that we may have not seen yet the project developed to its full potential yet. An interesting fact is that these synthetic beings have some sort of flaw -or mark, if you prefer- in their souls. Once the metahuman body has been developed and the information desired has been genetically introducted, the new metahuman is ready to serve Crey. Carole Friedken, an elderly female scientist who vanished without a trace and whose corpse was found in the sewers five months later, had developed a process named 'Memory Downloading Process', though she never had the chance to patent it.(5) This process is suspiciously similar to the 'Crey Memory Transference Device'.(1 & 5) Paul Summerfield, who based it on the work of his former boss, Dr. Project Locke is under the direction of Dr. Apparently, Crey also removes any ethics and morals from the DNA inserted somehow to avoid future complications. This way the clones may now gain full control over their bodies' powers. This method allows to insert a module of DNA in a full grown clone, thus the template body gaining the benefits of all the info contained in the inserted DNA. This is when Project Locke came into play. In order to give their new synthetic soldiers full control over their powers, Crey needed some method of advanced learning. Unfortunately for them, they discovered long ago that this step only wouldn't be enough: the new individuals, though physically perfect copies of the original metahumans, lacked the experience and control over the powers of their original, having little to no control over them: while their bodies were developing, their minds were not. This creates a perfect copy of the original target, owned by the Crey Corporation. Once they have obtained the DNA, the Crey scientists proceed to create a clone and accelerate its growth somehow, via a process that has never been explained.


(8) This seems to have been the destiny of heroes like The Invisible Falcon or The Shining Light, who are probably still trapped in some secret Crey laboratory, perhaps still alive. They could have as many as a hundred of corpses if rumors are true.

(1 & 2) It is rumored that Crey stole the corpses of many dead heroes who fell during the war. Crey sends their operatives and field agents to obtain DNA from metahumans, both alive and dead, or even to kidnap them.
