The Block is a highly secured, classified 400-ton steel cage prison in the the Mojave desert, six miles beneath the Earth's surface.
Description
The Block is a 400-ton block of tungsten-steel alloy located six miles underground, and its structural integrity is designed to detonate if the prisoner moves.
History
Background
The exact date of this base's construction is unclear.
Conquest's Imprisonment
A recovering Conquest is imprisoned in the Block.
After his loss to Invincible and Atom Eve, Conquest's death was staged. Aware of the considerable danger of allowing him to survive for the purpose of gaining intel on the Viltrum Empire and discovering means to eventually eliminate them, Director Cecil Stedman of the Global Defense Agency incarcerated the gravely wounded Viltrumite combatant after his loss in the Block, a top-secret facility located beneath the desert. Should he try to flee or move even an inch, then the whole prison would detonate. This enables the G.D.A. scientists to examine his genetic material to determine if they can create a weapon or formula capable of killing a Viltrumite.
Conquest's Escape
A fully healed Conquest easily escapes his imprisonment.
Two weeks later, in the midst of the final Sequid invasion, Conquest fully healed from his near fatal injuries, and upon awakening, he remarked on Invincible's stupidity in keeping him alive. Then, he easily escaped into deep space without suffering any injuries from the prison's detonation, much to Cecil's chagrin and concern. To avoid Invincible's wrath, he kept Conquest's survival and escape a secret from him, especially after he killed Rus Livingston, who was being controlled by the Sequids, to stop their final invasion of Earth.
