Doctor’s Wire Cutters
Sturdy metal shears with insulated black rubber grips and bright silver blades, small enough to wield with one hand. The Doctor brandishes them like a weapon, snapping them open with deliberate menace as he steps toward Solon. Their size belies their threat—designed to sever wiring with precision, they become instruments of coercion when aimed at Morbius’ exposed neural connections. Solon’s eyes flick to the gleaming blades, recognizing the ultimatum embedded in their flash.
