10 infinity formula we don’t know this
elusive compound helped reveal the
shrouded origins of SHIELD agent Nick
Fury after being mortally wounded during
World War 2 fury was injected with the
Infinity formula in a desperate attempt
to save his life it was later discovered
that the serum would not only save the
battered soldier but prevent him from
aging for a prolonged period of time a
doctor by the name of Sternberg claimed
this miracle formula and has been using
it to extort Fury as his livelihood is
now linked to the immortality drug
shield takes the world as it is not as
we’d like it to be it’s getting damn
near past time for you to get with that
program cap number 9 EXO gene don’t make
us guess what are we in for at least
three made men almost as tough as
superwoman made men ever wonder if
superpowers can be passed down through
genetics well if you’re lucky enough to
be part of lex luthor’s everyman project
it took nothing but a few quick
injections the EXO gene did participants
burying superpowers all based on their
individual desires you don’t want to
fight me you want to help me I don’t
want to fight you I want it hey this is
like the Jedi mind trick
the only catch was that the oppressive
billionaire would reserve the right to
turn off their abilities at will the
formula apparently wasn’t yet fully
developed as many involved in the
project soon died of severe organ
failure there is always a cash take them
down
number 8 Lazarus Pit
looking for secrets to keep your
youthful glow try taking a dip in these
mystical waters the Lazarus Pit doesn’t
only possess the power to keep a person
from aging but instantly mends injuries
and even brings back the dead
the infamous demon head Roz though
father’s name was pronounced riche not
razz a common mistake has been the most
notable person to exploit its powers
enabling him to live on for centuries
while preserving his body
however the Pitts doesn’t come without
its risks as users often experienced
temporary dementia or insanity moments
afterwards number seven extremists
breathing fire this super-soldier
project was developed by a subsidiary of
Stark Industries future farm while in
development the top-secret project was
soon shut down by the US government
however residual samples of the serum
were consequently sold to high paying
terrorists you are the next iteration of
human evolution this would pose a
serious threat as the virus enabled its
users superhuman strength speed recovery
and some very regrettable side effects a
more stable version of the drug would
later be modified by Tony Stark allowing
him improved reflexes and combat
abilities number 6 space imagine being
forcibly stuck at a party for days upon
days this social drug allows users to
literally make moments last forever as
it drastically slows down the users
perception of time it’s quite comparable
to the slow-mo drug featured in the
world of Judge Dredd slowing a person’s
perceived rate of time down to 1%
allowing colors and sounds to be
euphoric Lee interpreted the ultimate
trip baby
number five Joker toxin what could be so
harmful about a drug that serves up
smiles with all those weirdos the
unfortunate individual that gets exposed
to this toxic gas will be first subject
to uncontrollable laughter
simultaneously having their faces forced
into exaggerated grins mimicking the
villains own facial characteristics
unfortunately a painful death soon
follows as the victim suffocates from
their own laughter the toxin has
historically served as the Joker’s
weapon of choice and is more often than
not transmitted airborne he’s also been
known to use the non-lethal form of the
toxin you know just for giggles number
four the Goblin formula we need to take
the whole line back to formula the
result of a deluded man’s experiment
gone wrong brought to life by one of
spider-man’s most crazed nemesis
the Goblin formula initially referred to
as the Oz formula was a compound created
by dr. Mendel’s strong once the doctor
got arrested for embezzlement Norman
Osborn set out to finish the formula on
his own however a tragic accident would
leave him exposed to the chemicals and
hospitalized upon recovering Norman was
branded superhuman abilities but with
the cost of his sanity prompting him to
adopt the Green Goblin persona make him
suffer
make him wish and then grant his wish
number three fear gasps what is it you
fear the most whatever that happens to
be this toxic gas will put you face to
face with it in a horrifying
hallucination
these involuntary delusions would become
so potent victims would be driven insane
before the gas wore off the weapon was
coined by dr. Jonathan crane aka
the Scarecrow an immunity for the toxin
can be developed although the average
man would fully succumb to its effects
after a mere dose or to taste of human
medicine doctor number 2 Bane’s venom
drug
tailored from the Morocco formula this
addictive drug allowed users to reach
monumental levels of strength and
musculature this compound was so
effective the Dark Knight himself found
it hard to kick the habit after using it
to surpass his own physical limitations
the euros masked nemesis Bane would
later find an overdose on the formula
enhancing his body to inhumane
proportions results are nearly
instantaneous and the subject
experiences enhanced aggression facial
and body disfigurations and possible
complete insanity but is liberators to
return control this city to the people
before we unveil our top pick your earth
you honorable mentions
number one the Super Soldier Serum
introducing the formula that allows its
users unmatched strength speed fortitude
mental sharpness and a peak physical
body all for the low low price of
becoming America’s symbol of freedom the
unlikely Steve Rogers was chosen for
this top-secret project and was
successfully transformed into the super
soldier that becomes known as Captain
America
the original formula created by dr.
Abraham Erskine has only ever been a
hundred percent successful with Rodgers
as duplicated and altered versions of
the serum have all rendered adverse side
effects while you hippies were tripping
balls on acid Rogers was tripping balls
on the stars and stripes

the council has made a decision but
