 **** Although, that wasn't the ''first'' time he'd gone a bit crazy...
 ** This was [[Lampshade]]d in the ''Assault on Weapon Plus'' story arc, where the Weapon Plus files stated that super soldier experiments on criminals and psychopaths yielded less than reliable results, prompting them to find a different method of creating anti-mutant super soldiers.
-** Another X-related example has to do with Omega Red, the [[Soviet Russia Ukraine and So On|USSR]]'s attempt to engineer its own [[Captain America (comics)]]-like super soldier. [[Idiot Ball|The brain trust in charge of the program chose a]] [[Serial Killer]] [[Idiot Ball|who'd been shot by his fellow soldiers for murdering children in his hometown.]] While initially a loyal operative, he eventually became too [[Ax Crazy]] even for the KGB and was put in suspended animation, at least until the Hand freed him. He now functions as a [[Psycho for Hire]] and one of the X-Men's deadliest foes.

Scarlet Witch, Phoenix, The Sentry, or anyone else like that being able to use their maximum power levels while fully themselves would remove all drama. [[Scarlet Witch]] is currently the most powerful and resultantly has it the worst. We haven't seen her mind in stable condition for quite some time now that her power's gone from "[[Winds of Destiny Change|I point and my opponent slips on a banana peel]]" to "[[Reality Warper|whatever I decide simply]] ''[[Reality Warper|is.]]'' She'll ''never'' get to have that kind of power and the ability to think "Wouldn't it be nice if the Skrulls (okay, except [[Runaways|Xavin]], [[Fantastic Four|Lyja]], and [[X-Men|Cadre K]], and the Super Skrull if [[Heel Face Turn|he keeps playing nice]]) turned into rice pudding?" at the same time.
