History
Seagate Prison
Luke Cage was taken to Seagate Prison to serve his sentence. He was consumed by rage over Stryker's betrayal and his father's supposed death, engaging in frequent brawls and escape attempts. He became the favorite target of sadistic guard Albert "Billy Bob" Rackham, whose brutality ultimately led to a demotion that he blamed on Lucas. Later, research scientist Dr. Noah Burstein recruited Lucas as a volunteer for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process he had previously used to empower Warhawk. Burstein immersed Lucas in an electrical field conducted by an organic chemical compound; when he left Lucas unattended, Rackham misused the experiment's controls, hoping to maim or kill Lucas. Lucas's treatment was accelerated past its intent, inducing body-wide enhancement that gave him superhuman strength and durability. He used his new power to escape Seagate and made his way back to New York. (Avengers Origins: Luke Cage v1 #1)
The super-steroid acetovaxidol (AVX) was tested on in-mates in Seagate but the experiments went nowhere and the cellular regeneration formula was never approved by the FDA. (Captain America and the Falcon v1 #4)

Television
- In Luke Cage, Seagate Prison appeared in the live-action Netflix series as part of the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity setting. Seagate Prison is a maximum security prison located off the coast of Georgia. After Carl Lucas was wrongfully imprisoned at Seagate, he became aware of an illegal fighting ring and genetic experimentation using the prisoner as subjects. Dr. Noah Burnstein was observing some of the prisoners in order to find a worthy subject for his experimental procedure that enhanced human subjects. Former police officer Carl Lucas was sent to Seagate Prison after being framed for a crime he did not commit. The fighting was run by Officer Albert Rackham while Dr. Noah Burstein oversaw the experimentation with Reva Connors working under him. When Lucas began to ask too many questions, two of Rackham's goons attacked him and left him for dead. Conners found him and convinced Burstein to try to heal Lucas with his experimental treatment. The treatment was interrupted by Rackham, whose interference resulted in an explosion that killed him, but gifted Lucas with bulletproof hard skin. The explosion and cover up came to be known as the Seagate Incident.
