There is something creepy about people in jars. Jarring, even. So just like most everything else people find creepy for various reasons, writers like putting people in jars. Experimentation, containment, study, incubation, medical reasons or just plain old sucking out their Life Energy. Some writers just love putting people in jars and especially love comparing them to insects or pickled specimens. The people themselves are almost always alive, but unconscious, usually in some form of suspended animation. If these are being used to make better soldiers, it's often easy to tell when they're at full power, as it's quite common for the specimen to break out and start killing everyone. Oh, call them pods, tanks, containment units or chambers all you like. These are people in jars. If the goal is specifically to extract some resource from the people, it's a form of Human Resources. This is often how cryonics is depicted in fiction but is absolutely nothing like any Real Life equivalents. Compare Brain in a Jar, Uterine Replicator, Healing Vat, Soul Jar, Living Museum Exhibit and Crystal Prison. Contrast to Man in the Machine, in which the subject (while still physically constrained by a container of some sort) is typically conscious, mobile, and/or able to express autonomy. See Our Homunculi Are Different for a common application of this trope. Sub-Trope of Jar of the Bizarre. |

MapleStory has a scene like this — when the player selects a Resistance character and goes through the introductory cutscenes, they at one point end up in a laboratory where children are kept in jars by the evil scientist Dr. Gelmer. The player ends up rescuing one of these test subjects, named Vita, and later has several storyline quests involving Vita's recovery and contribution to the Resistance. | |

The Far Side: There have been quite a few strips of the "humans are bugs" variety. One involves an alien lab tech getting scolded by his mentor for putting "two incompatible species in the Earth Terrarium", panning to a tiny human in a terrarium getting mauled by a tiny bear. Another one has one giant alien reminding the other to poke holes in the jar. There are also the incidents with the Hatfields and McCoys being put in the same jar, and "On the Sixth Day", in which God adds humans to his recipe for Earth, "Jerks in a spice jar". In another strip, a boy liberates a genie and uses his first two wishes to put his parents in jars. The third wish is just the icing on the cake. |

The Ship Who...: "Shell people" are placed in containers as infants and essentially become cyborgs, many becoming spaceships (one book has a shell person as a sentient city). In fairness, this is only done with infants with severe birth defects and does give a much better quality of life than said birth defects would normally allow the child to have. In The Ship Who Searched, a girl about the age of ten goes through the process of her own free will. She does fine and eventually buys a company and makes them build her a robotic body she can use, but only within her ship. It sounds like they're working on giving her more range. Even in this case, she only signs up after being rendered quadriplegic by some alien disease. Some related stories have adult soldiers being converted into cyborg ships, again only after being severely injured in the line of duty. In general, the world seems to consider it better than being extensively paralyzed, and it's treated as an extensive prosthetic option. |

Naruto: Orochimaru's bases often have people in jars in them as experiments — for example, Suigetsu, who is released by Sasuke to join him. Yamato was also this as a child, being the only surviving/successful test subject of an experiment to infuse humans with some of the first hokage's DNA in order to give them his kekkai genkai. He was "rescued" by Danzo after the latter realized one of the test subjects still lived and recruited into ROOT. |

Supergirl: The Unknown Supergirl reveals that the Bottle City of Kandor has "The Hall of Sleepers", a chamber where volunteers are placed into a state of suspended animation inside transparent cylindrical pods to be awakened one thousand years later. In The Other Side of Doomsday, Linda Danvers, Flash's wife Iris Allen and Atom's fiancée Jean Loring are abducted by villain T.O. Morrow and teleported into three transparent cylindrical tubes. In an issue of Supergirl (1982), Supergirl is captured by a criminal organization and dumped into a containment unit after getting cloned. In Death & the Family, when Gangbuster breaks into Insect Queen's hive, he finds Supergirl encased in a jewel-like pod and floating in an orange liquid. A flashback in Last Daughter of Krypton shows several alien embryos being floating in a jar filled with orange, bubbly fluid while they are being genetically engineered into become Worldkillers. Another flashback shows Kara floating in a liquid-filled transparent cylinder while Zor-El corrects alleged genetic flaws. In Crucible, Supergirl discovers dozens of large, liquid-filled cylinders cluttering Korstus' lab chambers. Her friends are imprisoned in some of them, but most of tubes are incubators for Superboy's clones, all of which are floating silently in some kind of yellowish fluid. In The Killers of Krypton, dozens of aliens trapped in liquid-filled transparent cylinders are found in Harry Hokum's science labs. |

Kyle XY spends the first 16 years of his life in one of these, powering some clandestine organization's supercomputer. He hijacked their computer system after realizing that they were using his brain for war purposes and wiped out all their data. He was supposed to be disposed of, but a defector turned him loose instead. That's about where the series starts up. | |

In Johannes Cabal, the titular Necromancer sometimes uses these for corpse storage: Johannes keeps the body of his Lost Lenore under the floor of his lab in a glass tank filled with a glowing magical preservative, which insulates it from the effects of time while he searches for a method of true resurrection. At the start of the series, it's been over eight years. Johannes steals Alisha's body after The Brothers Cabal but has to make do with stowing her in a barrel of magical preservative. He's in a hurry to resurrect her as well, leaving his brother quite disturbed to watch him tip over the barrel and slosh out the naked corpse. |

Paranoia: In early editions, clones are created inside liquid-filled tubes and stay in the tubes until they grow to baby size. They're then decanted and allowed to grow up normally. In the most recent edition (Paranoia XP), clones are kept in tubes until their previous active member is killed, and are then decanted, have their previous active member's memories implanted in them and become the new active member. | |

Baldur's Gate II: To show just how evil Jon Irenicus is, one of the first big rooms the party can find themselves in is full of jars of the man's previous servants put in there when they entered a forbidden room or asked too many questions. They are trapped and alive in the tanks, and completely forgotten by him. In another room, there's another man put there, supposedly until Jon gets around to healing him (and like before, the man either forgot or didn't care anymore). He begs to be put out of his misery, implying that he was alive and in pain for years. Imoen remarks "The things in these tanks... they used to be people." Also, later on, he imprisons several members of the Shadow Thieves and uses them to perform some evil ritual meant to steal the main character's Baalspawn soul. To return to Chateau Irenicus again, sometime after finding the aforementioned rooms you find another lab full of partially-grown (and partially-assembled) clones of Irenicus' old love interest, which he's been growing in an attempt to inspire any emotion in his soulless state. Safe to say, Irenicus loves his creepy glassware. |

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, the dead body of Fate Testarossa's older sister Alicia (or, better said, the girl who Fate was cloned from) is kept in a jar. Also, in StrikerS, there are scores of said girls in Scaglietti's lair, which are revealed to be his illegally created minions, and some broken People Jars in his abandoned labs; this has something to do with the forbidden research of the first season, as well as its presumed-dead Big Bad. | |

DC Universe Animated Original Movies: Superman: Doomsday reveals that Luthor has been cloning his own army of Supermen. Lois and Jimmy discover rows upon rows of tubes with clones in various states of development, from zygotes to full-grown men. They're understandably freaked out, and more freaked out when the prototype clone slices through them with his heat vision. The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen feature Superboy's creation similar to the comics. The rest of the (failed) clones are eventually released by Luthor on the scientist in charge when he screws up one too many times. |

EarthBound (1994) has a scene in an alien base in which you stumble across a bunch of characters who have been recently kidnapped, stuck in glass tubes. From the dialogue, it's implied that the aliens forgot to include air holes. Killing the boss shuts down the facility, which frees all the captives with no discernable damage to the tubes, despite the fact that there's no apparent means of egress whatsoever from the tubes. One has to assume that they'd automatically release as a failsafe, in case any of their own workers got caught inside. | |

This happens somewhat frequently in Schlock Mercenary, though these people jars are used for medical purposes (typically regrowth — i.e., from just their head) more often than not. Then again, when all else fails, they seem to make effective restraints as well. | |

In Resident Evil 5, the bad guys, for some random reason, have two massive chambers full of people to experiment on, which also act as elevator shafts. Jill Valentine spent some time in one of those jars. | |

American Dad!: In the season 4 premiere, "The Vacation Goo", Stan puts his family in jars filled with goo that gives them false memories that they went on vacation. In a season 6 episode, Roger and Stan go to Area 51. In the background, an old woman can be seen floating in a jar. This is actually a Call-Back to a season one episode in which agents chase Roger, but Stan removes the wig from the old woman and convinces the agents that she's the alien. |

In Kagerou Project, after their deaths and being spat back out of the Daze, Takane and Haruka were put into large tanks beneath the school basement. Haruka (now Konoha) was woken up, but Takane's consciousness was somehow separated from her body, resulting in her transformation into Cyber Girl (and vicious Troll) Ene. | |

The capsuleers (read: players) in EVE Online. The most efficient way of controlling a ship in the 'verse is to put the pilot into a jar and then plug all of the ship's sensors and controls directly into the pilot's nervous system. In addition, capsuleers have one or more clones standing by in jars in case they are killed and need a new body. | |

Iron Man: When he decides to try to ruin Tony Stark's life a second time, Obadiah Stane kidnaps several of his friends and colleagues and imprisons them in tubes in a state of suspended animation. The room in which these tubes are in is also rigged with motion sensors that, once activated, will cause the occupants to be electrocuted in the event that Iron Man attempts a rescue. Stane doesn't quite count on catching Tony in just the right position to permit him to disable the trap with his Uni-beam, though. | |

In Dirge of Cerberus, Vincent gets this treatment as well when he is put in a tank by Lucrecia to save his life. This one's a more benign example, but he wouldn't be in that tank in the first place if it weren't for Hojo shooting him and performing horrendous experiments on his half-dead body. Especially jarring in that the cutscene is shown in first-person POV from Vincent's perspective, so essentially the player is the one inside the tank, looking out of it and unable to move. | |

Hulk Vs. Wolverine features the Weapon X program cloning babies in jars. Deadpool is creeped out by them and idly mentions wanting to kill them when they're done. X-23 is one of those babies. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: "Space Seed" shows Khan and his followers in cryogenic storage. In "The Empath", Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find the bodies of two missing researchers encased in jars. Ominously, they then discover three empty jars labelled with their names. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "The Neutral Zone", Data finds a cryogenic pod containing three frozen American humans from the early 21st century. Star Trek: Voyager: In the episode "The 37's", the ship finds pods containing people kidnapped from Earth in 1937. One is Amelia Earhart. The Borg assimilate children as young as newborns by placing them in Borg Maturation Chambers until they've grown into adulthood. While inside, the assimilation process makes them more cybernetic than if they were assimilated as an adult and feeds them more Borg programming. |

Girl Genius: Dr. Beetle, the ruler of Beetleburg, had criminals (even common thieves) sentenced to death and punished by putting them into giant glass jars. They were put up in the town square for all to see while the people inside slowly perished (presumably from heatstroke or lack of food/water and air). On the whole, the town population approved of his methods. | |

Gundam: Mobile Fighter G Gundam: In the Shinjuku arc, Rain Mikamura is briefly mind-controlled into walking inside an odd lair containing several people in jars like this, who happen to be the crewmates of other Gundam Fighters (Chibodee's Four-Girl Ensemble, Argo's jailer Natasha, Sai Saici's tutors Keiun and Zuisen, and George's Battle Butler Raymond; she probably would've "joined" them, had she not woken up at the last second. Then, she frees them from their collective Convenient Coma before they're forcefully infected with the DG Cells. Later, an injured Allenby Beardsley is briefly kept in a "jar" before she's Brainwashed into fighting Domon and Rain in the Rantao Island Battle Royale. Several characters are grown in jars in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. They all have issues. In Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, the Psychickers used to power up the huge Mind Rape device Angel Halo are put in a trance and then locked inside pods in the Halo itself. In ∀ Gundam, several Moonrace people are kept in jars and in suspended animation. Two of them are Queen Dianna Soleil and Teteth Halleh's mother Linda (it's all but stated that Teteth's reason to fight the heroes was to wake her up). In After War Gundam X, Lucille Lilliant (Jamil's Cool Big Sis and first love) is put in a coma and placed in a capsule in suspended animation. |

Superman: The people of the city of Kandor spend most of their time in a jar, but it's not quite this trope in the usual sense; the entire city is in the jar, and the people inside are just going about their daily lives and trying to ignore that their universe effectively ends at the City Limits signs. They probably consider this better than the alternative, given that pretty much every other Kryptonian city blew up along with Krypton itself. In The Immortal Superman, three super-heroes who try to apprehend an energy beast are put in cryo-freezing crystal pods when the monster's attacks put them in a coma. In The Life Story of Superman, Lex Luthor grows a Superman clone inside a transparent vat filled with a greenish substance. In Superman and Spider-Man, Doctor Doom manages to capture and put Hulk and Wonder Woman in transparent stasis tubes. In The Phantom Zone, when Kryptonian lawmen barge into Faora Hu-Ul's farm to ascertain what happened to twenty-three persons who disappearing after visiting her farm, they find her surviving victims naked and hanging upside-down inside membranous sacs filled with a strange glowing gas to preserve the bodies. In the Elseworld series Superman: Secret Identity, after young Clark Kent is captured by the U.S. government, he wakes up floating in one of these and surrounded by dozens of similar ones containing the murdered victims of others (from infants to adults) who the government has captured and experimented on. |

Xenogears: The "Nanomachine Colony" Emeralda was sealed in a containment tank in Kim's lab, deep within the Zeboim Ruins, four thousand years before the game. Long before that, the mother of humanity, Elly was created by Abel's imagination, science, "God", or some combination thereof, and she awakens from a capsule, Kadomony, ejected from the Zohar during the Eldridge crash. Presumably, Cain and the Gazel are also created from the same device. Also, after being heavily injured by Ramsus, Fei and Elly end up in healing tanks in Melchior's house. Ramsus himself was created in a test tube by Krelian. Krelian's lab and the Soylent system also contain various human/humanoid parts floating about, some of which are in river-sized tubes. | |

In an episode of Dilbert, Dogbert explains that computers are going to take over the world, but fortunately, he has found a way to save humanity. After Dilbert compliments him, Dogbert clarifies that it's in the same way you might save postage stamps, and opens a closet door showing the jars he's saving people in. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI has espers... in jars. Final Fantasy VII has Zack and Cloud stuck in tanks during their years of experimentation at the hands of Mad Scientist Hojo. In Dirge of Cerberus, Vincent gets this treatment as well when he is put in a tank by Lucrecia to save his life. This one's a more benign example, but he wouldn't be in that tank in the first place if it weren't for Hojo shooting him and performing horrendous experiments on his half-dead body. Especially jarring in that the cutscene is shown in first-person POV from Vincent's perspective, so essentially the player is the one inside the tank, looking out of it and unable to move. Final Fantasy IX had the Genome, some of whom are seen in jars. They also have creepy tendencies, but (since it's already canon that Zidane is male) they aren't clones since they have sex. |

Warhammer 40,000: New Space Marine Chapters are created by force-culturing gene-seed in cloned humans in jars, each of whom has to go through the agonising process of having the auxiliary organs implanted so they (the organs, not the clones) can go through their natural life-cycle and produce two Progenoids for each set implanted, doubling and testing each "generation" until there's 1000 "pure" gene-seed sets ready for implantation into the real soldiers. Naturally, this only works on pubescent children because it keys off their natural hormonal changes. Space Marine Dreadnoughts are essentially heavily armed and armoured people jars, serving as life support for the mortally wounded marines they're piloted by. Ork dreadnoughts are similar, although in their case, the occupants are not usually mortally wounded before being wired into the machines. There's also the Dark Eldar. Most of them are grown artificially, whereas having normally conceived children, the "trueborn" as they're called, is a privilege only afforded to the higher-ranking Dark Eldar nobles. This explains why the Dark Eldar are actually thriving while their good... er, Craftworld cousins are a Dying Race. |

In a mission midway through Crusader: No Remorse, the Silencer finds a facility where a bunch of Silencers are apparently being cloned to adulthood. In the last area, there are fully-grown (or nearly) naked people in jars. He kills the scientist who was working on them — but not before the scientist taunts him, implying he might have been in such a tank. Then he's ordered to kill them. He shoots the jars, and the people, still attached to the inside of the jar by wires or cables or feeding tubes, fall out and hang limply in space. Because he's unfeeling like that. | |

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series: CABAL stands for 'Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform'. Nod's Master Computer derives much of his/its intelligence and computing power from the brains of numerous humans suspended in fluid cylinders. The Nod ending from the Tiberian Sun: Firestorm expansion shows Kane in one of these tubes, raising further questions about exactly who or what he is. Later games reveal that he is a millennia-old alien and was recovering at the time. |

Blade: Trinity features a warehouse, one of many, where brain-dead people are kept in storage within what is at best described as a giant, airtight zip-lock bag for backup food supply. This was actually already in cut content from Blade (1998). | |

Mother: EarthBound (1994) has a scene in an alien base in which you stumble across a bunch of characters who have been recently kidnapped, stuck in glass tubes. From the dialogue, it's implied that the aliens forgot to include air holes. Killing the boss shuts down the facility, which frees all the captives with no discernable damage to the tubes, despite the fact that there's no apparent means of egress whatsoever from the tubes. One has to assume that they'd automatically release as a failsafe, in case any of their own workers got caught inside. In Mother 3, Porky puts people and animals in tubes filled with a bizarre green fluid in order to brainwash them into loving him. EarthBound Beginnings also has people who have been kidnapped by aliens stuffed in tubes, making this a series-wide trope. Weirdest of all, you can talk to them despite there not being air holes. In the first two games, they'll mostly just seem irritated with the whole circumstance. In the third game, their dialogue is chilling. |

In Wolf's Rain, Cheza is in a jar being studied by Cher Degre before she's busted out by Darcia. In this case, she's not being imprisoned — just studied and kept alive. The second time she gets put in a jar, it follows the trope much more closely because 1.) she's been forcibly taken, 2.) her most zealous bodyguard Kiba has also been locked in a nearby jar and is having his blood drained out, and 3.) Jagara and her guests are drinking wolf blood in front of her, which may or may not be Kiba's... and spilled wolf's blood in general triggers Cheza's scream reflex. | |

Star Wars Legends: Human clones are grown in "Spaarti cylinders". It's generally accepted that it takes three to five years or a year at the very most to grow a trained, battle-ready clone whose life sucks immeasurably; any less than a year and the clone tends to be unstable and develop Clone Madness, though if a ysalamiri is nearby, the process can be shortened to under thirty days. In the Hand of Thrawn duology, Luke and Mara find a clone of Thrawn floating in a cylinder under a base. After Attack of the Clones came out, things were retconned a little — the Republic and the early Empire used Kaminoan-style clones which needed about ten years of raising, and as time wore on, they were replaced by quicker-growing Spaarti clones and, eventually, normal recruits. Galaxy of Fear: Ghost of the Jedi features a morgue full of bodies in cryogenic tanks. It turns out that they're alive in stasis. Their Life Energy has been siphoned away for study, but it can be put back. |

In A Cure for Wellness, hydrotherapy and sensory deprivation tanks are both used for the eponymous 'cure'. While Exploring the Evil Lair, the protagonist hides in a dark room only to turn on the lights and find it's full of naked people floating in tanks, including the executive he'd been sent to find. He thinks they've been killed, but the executive is later produced alive, and Lockhart is shown in the same tanks when he starts falling under the Mad Doctor's control. | |

In Gears of War 2, Dom and Marcus enter an empty "research" facility with the hopes of finding vital information on the Locust's whereabouts. What they find is a building full of booby traps and an A.I. in control of the facility that's... less than friendly to them, not to mention cryo chambers full of "Sires" in jars (humans who were born while their parents were being affected by the Imulsion. Needless to say, they suffered horrible birth defects, and they were also completely savage). Obviously, they start breaking out of the cryo chambers once you get there, and you then have to fight off wave after wave of them. Not exactly the information they were looking for... Apparently, the Sires are the so-called "Forefathers of the Locust", although the Locust only seem savage but are highly organized, whereas the Sires are completely savage themselves. | |

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Colonel Stryker collects mutants in glass tanks, where they stay naked in suspended animation, covered in white powder. Stryker's own son is kept in one of these. | |

There's a bizarrely funny scene in Bride of Frankenstein in which Dr. Praetorius shows off his work in creating life — little people (and a mermaid, "an experiment with seaweed") in jars. In a special effects shot that's damned impressive for 1935, when one of them climbs out of his jar, Praetorius picks him up with tweezers and puts him back where he belongs. | |

City of Heroes: One mission used in both City of Heroes and City of Villains takes place in a lab where Crey Industries manufactures the Paragon Protectors, featuring a room filled with jars of cloned superpowered humans. The Arachnos Base mission set features Arachnoids (failed super soldiers rumored to be made from Lord Recluse's DNA) and incomplete Tarantulas (cybernetic robot spider exosuits made by permanently and brutally hooking humans in — you need to see them to get it) in jars of red fluid attached to the walls. |

One of the fighters in Cyberbots is a girl in a jar who hijacked a robot to escape from the government facility where she was stored. She beats up everyone she comes across due to fear and extreme misunderstandings. | |

Transformers: Kiss Play: EDC Kiss Players who have failed are apparently stuffed into tubes somewhere below the base. Probably all of them were stripped naked first; Kiss Player Xiao Xiao, after being replaced by the robot-resenting shut-in and generally pathetic Atari Hitotonari, woke in one such tube. When she looked around, the surrounding tubes contained partially eaten remains of other young women. Partially eaten, you ask? Yes, by the phallic-tongued evil robots called Legion. One such was in Xiao Xiao's tube and ready to chow down. That's right — the "good guys" discarded their unwanted to the basement to be eaten alive. No wonder she jumped ship. (She and many fans.) | |

In the Dexter's Laboratory the episode "Momdark", the show's Big Bad, Mandark, abducts Dexter's mother and imprisons her in a suspended animation tank, where she is a state of blissful slumber, being completely unaware of what was occurring. She wakes up after hearing Dad say that Mandark "Missed a spot," and breaks out of her prison to clean up the spot. Strangely, she seems to be unaware of her kidnapping as she never questioned what happened to her. | |

A flashback in Last Daughter of Krypton shows several alien embryos being floating in a jar filled with orange, bubbly fluid while they are being genetically engineered into become Worldkillers. Another flashback shows Kara floating in a liquid-filled transparent cylinder while Zor-El corrects alleged genetic flaws. | |
