I was looking at the Dark Hunter Phantom's biography and noticed this: Variant? As if Energized Protodermis isn't complicated enough, it also has variants? Strangely, I searched for other instances of 'energized protodermis variant' on the wiki and it seems it was only ever mentioned in reference to Phantom. Not even the EP page itself says anything about variants, except that one was used to create Phantom. So I'm wondering... how does one create a variant of energized protodermis? I don't expect mixing it with anything would work, as it would simply evaporate or alter any liquid you pour into it. Or would it? Personally, I think it would make more sense to forget the variant thing entirely and assume he was just exposed to normal energized protodermis. But I would like to come up with a canonical explanation, just the same.
