The Division imprisoned Swarm in a containment chamber which remained functional for millennia, being checked in on every thousand years by Division agents. Eventually, however, it broke down; Swarm took his opportunity when the power shorted out to kill En Sentac, fuelling a regeneration. In his new, stronger form, he effortlessly broke out of his shackles and escaped. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
