The 4400: Metabolism Acceleration

Metabolism acceleration is the ability to produce an enzyme that, in the human body, speeds up the metabolism exponentially, causing the person that receives this enzyme to die of starvation without intervention.

Characters

 * Trent Appelbaum

Limits
The enzyme had to pass from Trent Appelbaum into another person. This can be done by sharing a drink or by using body samples. Once the enzyme had started, it wasn't able to be stopped without an antibody that was developed using Trent's liver. Later, in the theory room, other potential applications discussed for the enzyme included ocean purification, ozone layer repair, and many other possibilities.
