They are developed by Dr. Nozumu Akatsuki as part of Tony Stark's new project to capture supervillains. Once captured, the detainee is in a state of suspended animation until he is summoned either by throwing the DISK to the ground and yelling "D-SMASH!", or appearing as a hologram to communicate with his partner. Both methods require the use of a Biocode, a wristband-like device that gives the wearer clearance to temporarily free the detainee within the DISK for a limited amount of time before he is returned automatically to the DISK. | |||
| The DISKs are triangular shaped and are the same size as ]. They are metallic gray in color but once it contains a superhero or a supervillain, the DISK's color changes to an attribute specific to the hero or villain, and can only be summoned using the Biocode of the same attribute. There are currently five known colors of the DISKs each with a different attribute | |||
| *Red DISK (Tech) - Any hero or villain that uses Science and/or Tech-based weapons. | |||
| *Purple DISK (Energy) - Any hero or villain with energy-based/paranormal abilities. | |||
| *Blue DISK (Fight) - A hero or villain that only uses physical attacks. | |||
| *Green DISK (Power) - Heroes or villains with raw strength. | |||
| *Yellow DISK (Animal) - A hero or villain with animal-based features or attacks. May also apply to characters whose abilities do not fall under the other four DISK colors, such as Diamondback. | |||
| ==DISK Actions== | |||
| While either holding a DISK in one's hand or on their wristband, anyone with a Biocode installed can do many specific actions in relation to the hero or villain within the DISK. | |||
| *D-Secure - Holding the DISK out and saying "D-Secure" can trap a target within the DISK. It can also be used to recall a hero or villain back into the DISK remotely. When used on a hero or villain already D-Secured by someone else, it will override and crack the old DISK. | |||
| *D-Smash - Scanning for a Biocode identity on a DISK containing the hero or villain, and then smashing the DISK on the ground can release the hero for a limited time. If this is performed before the hero or villain is ready to be re-released, it will do nothing. | |||
