* There was an entire ''[[Wolverine]]'' comic arc featuring [[Psycho Serum]] cocaine which, after a while, ''turned into a horrific monster from the dawn of humanity''. "[[Space Whale Aesop|That's right, kids, take crack and you may well turn into a horrific blobby goo abomination.]]"
** Also, Wolvie was the poster boy for [[Smoking Is Cool]] most of his career, his healing factor preventing it from endangering his health. In one arc, his mutant powers were temporarily suppressed, and trying to light up made him sick. It was enough for him to kick the habit entirely.
* [[Spider-Man]] occasionally deals with this; in fact, it was what ended up doing in the [[Comics Code|CCA]], as they would not let [[Stan Lee]] publish an anti-drug issue, even though drugs were portrayed in nothing but a negative light ''and the United States Government had asked Stan to produce the issue'', solely because it portrayed drugs at all, leading Marvel to publish the story without Code approval.
* Snowflame, a supervillain powered by Cocaine, proving not only that Drugs are Bad but [[Broken Aesop|sometimes they give you superpowers!]]
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
* ''[[Marvel 2099]]'': Spider-Man 2099 has this as part of [[Spider-Man/Characters|his origin story]]; Miguel O'Hara undergoes a dangerous science experiment to shake a drug addiction given to him by his [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|boss]]. [[Space Whale Aesop|Yes, kids, endangering yourself by]] ''[[Space Whale Aesop|rewriting your DNA]]'' [[Space Whale Aesop|is preferable to getting hooked on <s> cocaine</s> rapture!]]
** It wasn't that taking drugs was bad, it was that the drug is instantly and permanently addictive at a molecular level, and only available from the corporation. Shaking the addiction was the only way he could leave the hideously unethical company.
