Cortex (RC)

The Cortex was an Aetherian bioweapon created during the Aetherian War. It was to be used against the Goruxian Armada, but was deemed too dangerous and inhumane to use. To safely dispose of the weapon, a group of Aetherians traveled to Earth, where a special device known as the Ark was constructed beneath the surface of Ball's Pyramid off the coast of Australia. There, the Cortex, along with the Aetherian travelers, remained in cryostasis until the Ark was raided by Master Ronin years later, who planned on using the powers of the Cortex to finalize Project Medusa.
