== Function ==

Motivators are created by harvesting the cells of dead Epics.{{book ref|Firefight|18}} These cells contain Epic DNA, which duplicates the powers of the original Epic when exposed to electrical currents.{{book ref|Calamity|10}} The "biological frequency" of electric current required for each Motivator is different, requiring some experimentation to get just right.{{book ref|lux|8}} Motivators are responsible for keeping the cells of Epics alive, which includes feeding them, regulating their temperature, and dealing with any produced waste.{{book ref|Calamity|10}} Motivators tend to be expensive and volatile.{{book ref|lux|6}}

 

== Known Motivators ==

The Boomerang allows its user to teleport in a chosen direction, then teleport back soon after. During his time at the Coop. Jax learned about the incomplete motivator called Boomerang, which was derived from an Epic who was also named Boomerang, who had teleportation abilities. However, the last Reckoner to try to complete it had vaporized himself by accident.{{Book ref|Lux|6}} About thirty seconds after teleporting, the teleported object's or person's molecules begin to disassemble, until there is nothing left. As far as Jax was able to figure out, the only way to keep the object from disintegrating was to smash the Boomerang device after teleporting it. The real breakthrough came when Jax invented Coilers, which could reverse the power of a motivator. He applied the coiler technology to the Boomerang, so that when he teleported something, he could then reverse the Boomerang and teleport the object back.{{Book ref|Lux|9}} If he didn't teleport it back after thirty seconds, it began to disintegrate.
