This is so weird, but the amount of information in this one panel would be sufficient for 1 episode / entire series today:
Bonus: Questionable Ethics of the Luther Corp for experiments on children. Did this happen to others?
Foreshadowing on Episode 2: Unstoppable Child discovers its abilities, Series turns into a prison break from high security laboratory with Superman and Batman villains at various ages. (Basically “The new Mutants”)
The part where the hatch opens needs a frame where one of the guards freaks out and fires a laser before others stop him. Then it would be clear how the fuck did they discover the laser-resistance.
It’s even simpler than that… they were firing the laser at the hatch when it opened, and the laser beam hit the “baby” before they’d had a chance to turn it off.
