Line 83:
*** It gets worse in the current continuity. {{spoiler|Why is he a robot? A group of scientists (including Caulder) gave him an injection of nanites to protect his life, when they hired him to drive for them. When the superbike he was testing went out of control, the only thing they could think of to do to save him was to consume his still completely concious body, and convert it into an indestructible robot.}}
** Steve "Mento" Dayton enhances his telepathic and telekinetic abilities with a helmet of his own design... but between the loss of his wife and the helmet's unforeseen side effects, [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]].
* The Crimson Guard twins, Tomax and Xamot in ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' (comics ''and'' cartoon) have an emphatic relationship to each other that causes each to share any pain or injury the other takes. While this does have benefits - should they be separate, it can quickly inform one of them that the other has been attacked by an enemy - it's a handicap when they fight together, and many of the Joes have learned that you can take both out simply by knocking out one.
* ''Vertigo'' example: in ''[[Fables]]'', Bigby Wolf has to constantly smoke in order to keep his super-sensitive sense of smell from inhaling the millions of scents from all over Manhattan. Not to mention all the noise...
** Another example from the third issue of the [[Spin-Off]] series ''Jack of Fables'', in which Jack learns that his overbearing lust for adventure has cursed him with being the center of all stories, including the ''Sword in the Stone"- where he plays the stone, after getting Excalibur shoved through his chest.
