Rocket's inertia belt.
The Inertia belt[1] is a piece of Cooperative technology[2] which gives Rocket her powers.
Characteristics[]
The belt is mainly red, with blue illumioated ovals and lines. The belt narrows to an blue oval at the front, widening over the hips.
The belt grants its wearer a number of powers, based on kinetic energy:[2]
- Flight: The belt allows its wearer to fly, sometimes encompassed by a purple or pink aura.[3]
- Force-bubble: The belt's wearer can create blue bubbles of kinetic energy,[4] that grow stronger if kinetic force is exerted on them.[5] The bubble can absorb unlimited amounts of kinetic energy,[6] but is not as compatible with other energies, such as Radion[7] or thermal energy.[8] Bubbles can be used as a protective shield,[9] to contain a target,[5] or as a projectile,[10] and can be used to support objects and move them by changing its size.[4] The belt is able to produce at least two bubbles at once.[7]
- Life support: The belt is able to protect the wearer from the vacuum of space and provides breathable atmosphere for the wearer[11] and anyone inside a force bubble.[12]
History[]
Raquel Ervin acquired the belt sometime prior to debuting as Rocket in May 2010.[13] She continued to use the belt after she joined the Team in December 2010.[9]
Sometime between 2011 and 2015, the belt underwent an upgrade,[14] resulting in it becoming somewhat wider.[15] Rocket continued to use the belt after joining the Justice League in December 2015.[16] During her mission to New Genesis in August 2020, the belt became a point of contention between her and Orion, who wanted to confiscate and study the unfamiliar technology. He was talked out of it by Highmother.[7]
