Editing Medical technology

Back to [[Technological level]]


As a general rule, the Healing power does not exist in the setting: To heal a damaged organism or undo damage, one would need to re-obtain lost information and undo entropy, which the powers of mutants, magicians and scientists cannot do. A limited but notable exception is [[The Avatar]], who has in the past been able to heal others (though this appears to be difficult, even to him). That said, the Regeneration power does exist, and has been of great interest to medical experts.

In more recent years, [[Venture Industries]] has been commercializing medical nanotechnology. While very expensive, this technology can heal almost any injury short of lost limbs within a few days at most. Injured superheroes will often be given preferential treatment - society knows that that it depends on them to keep chaos at bay, after all.
