Oscar holding the sample of Neotraxin-3 that Shalon gave to Steve. The whereabouts of this sample are unknown.
Neotraxin is a chemical substance of alien manufacture. Appearing as a dark blue liquid, neotraxin is used for numerous medical applications. It has been most often used to treat radiation poisoning, but if administered precisely and immediately, neotraxin has been known to cure trauma. Neotraxin is also called Neotraxin-3.

Sources of Neotraxin[]
Neotraxin was developed by the Colonists, a.k.a. the Bigfoot Aliens. After Steve Austin was released following his first encounter with the Colonists, his memory of their existence was erased but he was given a sample of neotraxin. Col. Austin gave the neotraxin to Oscar Goldman in hopes that Dr. Rudy Wells could study its properties. After the colonist Gillian restored Steve's memories, he attempted to prove to Oscar and Rudy that the Colonists did exist. Steve mentioned the sample of neotraxin, but Oscar admitted that his primary concern was for Steve and that he had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the neotraxin sample. This sample of neotraxin is either lost to humankind or now a highly classified secret.
Season Six[]
When Steve Austin's nuclear power pack was damaged and leaking after a shark attack, his body showed no signs of radiation poisoning. It is likely that the long-term effects or continuing presence of neotraxin in his system have made his organic tissues immune to the toxic effects of radioactivity. (SMDM: Season Six, Issue #1)
