Tantalus 5 is a prison planetoid that houses a prison called Penitentiary 1331.

History

The prison facility

A villain named Corroder attacked a prison called Penitentiary 1331 in the planet while the prison is half-built, and four members of the Alpha 1 Team, Dunkan Bulk, Jimi Stringer, Mark Surge, and Natalie Breez, were sent to help. Breez evacuated the workers in the Heroes' Drop Ship and sent them to the nearest MediBot Station to get them healed, while the others fought Corroder. Early in the battle, Corroder caused a pile of girders to fall, and Bulk took the hit. Surge was unable to pry Bulk out of the girders while Stringer kept Corroder at bay. Eventually, the situation was very dire, and a Hero Cell was created. Corroder instead focused his acid directly on the cell, and had almost burned through it when an empty Hero Pod rammed into his chest. William Furno, who used the Hero Pod to attack Corroder, attacked him in new acid-resistant armor, and the Drop Ship arrived. Corroder grew scared, and fled. Breez and Furno saved Bulk, and they returned to Makuhero City.
