Re: The Super drugs
I introduced something like this into the early part of the Kingdom City Campaign. The stuff acted like a super steroid, making the user fast abd strong and overconfident, but it had the side effects of massive letdown afterwards and early versions commonly caused heart failure due to overexertion.
The drug was a co-development of VIPER and the War Machine - the latter to get a combat drug, the former because of it's addictive qualities. No one gained permanent superpowers from the drug, but Vitus came close to addicting himself to it, and Orca accidentally created the Psychobeast (an insane, six-meter tall monster that constantly projects a cone of psychic agony in front of him by throwing the administrator of the project into a bunch of burning barrels of highly toxic ingrdediants.
However, Vitus used the last of the drug to hold off Deadstroyer in the final battle long enough for the Deus Ex Machina to work.
