#The amphibian/piscine hybridization she went through was to see if it was possible for humans to regenerate like salamanders

The facility responsible for kidnapping Khare and forcibly experimenting on her didn't start with her. They've done it to many people and are behind a significant number of missing person cases each and every year. Thousands disappear never to be seen again, mostly young runaways and vagrants who won't be missed by anyone meaning they are the perfect test subjects in which to conduct their research.

Prometheus is the face of this organization, a little known corporation who funds both legitimate and illegal businesses on the side in order to gain access to what they're really after - fresh subjects for their project in researching the human genome and how to alter it. Metahumans are the next stage of human evolution whether humanity likes it or not, but natural born metahumans are too far and few in between to conduct research on safely, and are often too high profile to snatch up anyway. Ordinary humans? There's plenty of those running around, so what's a few thousand lives in the hopes of unlocking human potential? Mutants are still not fondly regarded by most of humanity but enterprising minds see their value and more importantly, the value of the future, how much the wealthy would be willing to pay in order to gain powers of their own. The money poured into the cosmetics industry on a yearly basis would be nothing compared to how much the elite are willing to pay to gain eternal youth or as close to it as possible, forever looking young without invasive procedures such as plastic surgery. With Prometheus at the helm, anybody could become a metahuman in the near future with a few easy injections. There's just a few kinks in the system to work out first in order to make it a safe process for those matter, and who better than to start with the chaff?
