The Corona Pollentia is the part of the brain that adapts to and controls the supernatural powers that parahumans develop and display.

Overview

Corona Pollentia

The Corona Pollentia is the part of the brain that adapts to and controls the powers that come from individual Entity Shards.

Gemma

The Gemma is the part of the Corona Pollentia that controls the active use of a parahumans' abilities and powers, the same way there are parts of the brain that allow regular humans to coordinate and move their hands.

Size and Location

The size, shape and location of the Corona and the Gemma changes from parahuman to parahuman, but it tends to sit between the frontal and the parietal lobe. It is because of the size and location of the Corona Pollentia and Gemma that prevents people from lobotomizing people as, most of the time, trial and error doesn't work.

Trivia

  • The size and shape of the Corona Pollentia is also stated to depend on the powers of the parahuman with it and how their powers work.
  • This is how Cauldron is able to remove powers - Contessa can (via her power) damage the Corona Pollentia in such a way that the target loses access to their powers.
