Starro's Tentacle - Young Justice (2010)

Having been destroyed by Black Manta during a mission for the Light, Prince Orm pulled the strings for the Echinoderm's tenatcle to be sent to "Surface World", under the pretence that they could study the alien creature in a secure laboratory - whilst making it easier for the Light to make another attempt for it.

The Tentacle had the ability to rapidly regenerate in order to keep Starro alive, eventually capable of producing for him a new body. The tentacle contained dormant abilities of mind control, which were exploited by the Light when it was combined with nano-technology, bio-technology and sorcery.

"Misplaced"

In the adult's dimension created by the combined forces of Klarion, Wotan, Wizard, Felix Faust and Blackbriar Thorn, Lawrence Crock organised a protest outside of S.T.A.R Labs Gotham City division, accusing them of being responsible for the disappearance of their children. This distraction allowed for the Riddler to sneak in and out of the building, stealing Starro's sample and getting away in Crock's car, whilst the  security was focused on aiding the G.C.P.D from preventing a riot from the furious mob.

Riddler and Sportsmaster brought the tentacle to the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, who congratulated Klarion for creating a scenario that caused so much panic, that no one realised that the Echinoderm was missing until it was too late. 

"Insecurities"

On the 5th of December, The Brian, Mallah and Klarion hired Sportsmaster to break Professor Anthony Ivo out of prison and escort him to New Orleans, in order to experiment on the tentacle as part of the next stage of their plans against the Justice League. 

After Ivo had been reunited with one of his M.O.N.Q.U.I.S, Mallah opened the case and extracted the sample, preparing for the four of them to start working on the creature at the same time. Hitting the tentacle with a laser to awaken it's abilities, the Brain allowed the M.O.N.Q.U.I to insert nano-technology into the flesh, whilst Klarion used his sorcery to add a techno-sorcery element to the being. 

The four of them completed the process just as Artemis arrived to stop them. Klarion used his powers to teleport them and the tentacle - along with multiple pieces of Starro Tech, a biological segment of the tentacle mutated and altered by the addition of magic and nano-technology - to safety. 

"Auld Acquaintance" 

Whilst under the influence of Starro Tech, the end product of the Light's experiments to the tentacle, The Atom (Ray Palmer) was tasked with dissecting pieces of the source material for analysis - so that Ocean Master (Prince Orm) could finish the research that Dr. Vulko had started to Poseidonis. Using a laser to cut the flesh, Zatanna magically levitates a piece, forcing Palmer to increase his size to try and catch it. However this leaves him open to Miss Martian and a sample of the Cure Tech, rendering him unconscious and cancelling Klarion's possession of his mind and body.
