PX-Labs

The PX-Labs is a top-secret laboratory stationed in the Arctic Circle that housed experiments with PX-41, a dangerous mutagen that sets the film's events in motion.

Appearance
The lab grounds is composed of one single metallic lab building and a number of other other orange substations. The lab grounds is powered by windmills and is patrolled by guards dressed in yellow parkas and armed with assault rifles or submachine guns. Snowmobiles are stationed at the base and there are portable potties for those who need to go the restroom.

Plot
At the start of the film, a Magnet Ship was seen stealing the entire lab (later revealed to be the work of El Macho, as the same ship is in his lair), prompting AVL to launch an investigation. The lab is never seen afterwards. The guards were also picked up and killed when crushed by the remaining lab.
