Editing STAN

In "Mutant Rain Part 2," S.T.A.N joins Aaron's fight against Grudge, initially trying to scare him off with blasts nearby from his laser, but Grudge refuses and nearly kills Aaron. Seeing no other choice and not wanting his friend to get hurt, S.T.A.N manages to break the Three Laws and blasts Grudge, knocking him down allowing Aaron to defeat and free him. S.T.A.N, as he knew he would, self-destructs as a consequence of breaking the Three Laws, sacrificing himself to save Aaron and only leaving his head fully intact. Despite the loss of his body, Vas and Ram are able to reactivate S.T.A.N's head which is able to track Aaron's location and take him with them to the White House. There, Jason uses his head to defeat and capture Elias Powers (though he later secretly escapes with U's help) by hitting Elias in the head with S.T.A.N's head. After it's all over, T. Abner Hall rebuilds S.T.A.N, new and improved stating that although S.T.A.N still looks and acts the same as before, he can do so much more now. S.T.A.N, along with the rest of Aaron's team, are finally shown Hall's face as a sign of his now absolute trust in them.

Stan is seen to have many different gadgets programed into him. He can project holograms from his eye and override electronics. He has a laser pointer in his finger and can emit high-frequency sounds. It is also shown that he is able to shoot laser blasts similar to Aaron's from his finger. If he manages to break the Three Laws, he will self-destruct, but his head remains intact. After Hall rebuilds S.T.A.N, he says that S.T.A.N is now new and improved and can do so much more than he could before, but its not clear what he is now capable of.
