Steppenwolf's Mind Probes were living insect-like, living machines capable of scanning his enemies' minds and projecting information in a 3D hologram for Steppenwolf to view.
History[]
After obtaining the Mother Box held by the Amazons, Steppenwolf began searching for the remaining two, using the mind probe embedded in the left gauntlet of his armor to scan the minds of his captives for information. He deployed the device against an Atlantean soldier, revealing the Atlantean Stronghold, and later against several S.T.A.R. Labs employees. The device was destroyed by Cyborg during the rescue at Stryker's Island before Steppenwolf could glean anything useful about the third box.[1]
Capabilities[]
- Independent movement: As a living machine, similar to the Mother Boxes and other Apokoliptian technology, the probe is capable of using its six legs to move freely, navigating its surroundings at its master's will. When not in use, it's able to hide itself in Steppenwolf's armor for safekeeping.
- Thought projection: Latching onto the head of its victim, the device can decipher thoughts and project them as a 3-dimensional hologram. The quality of the hologram can vary based on the quality of knowledge the target possesses, and possibly other variables. These holograms can be used to view information to which the user is otherwise unwelcome. This process is painful to the target, and potentially lethal.
