Michael Scofield: ¿Arma XV?

Según el genial Grant Morrison: Arma 0 estaba "clasificada"; Arma I fue voluntaria (ver Proyecto: Renacimiento); Arma II y III fueron animales (ver We3); en Arma IV, V y VI emplearon minorías étnicas. Entonces encontraron los sujetos ideales para las pruebas VII en adelante: secuestraron mutantes, la escoria de la tierra (ver James Howlett, Arma X)... y así llegaron hasta Arma XII (a.k.a Fantomex).

Ahora tenemos una nueva generación de armas vivientes. Verbigracia:

Sara: What did you treat him for?
Dr. Brighton: Well Michael suffered from a couple of things. One was a condition called low latent inhibition.
Sara: Sorry, I’m not familiar with the term.
Dr. Brighton: Well, people who suffer from low latent inhibition see every day things just like you or I do, like this lamp for instance. But where we just process the image of a lamp, they process everything. The stem, the bulb, the bolts, even the washers inside. Their brains are more open to incoming stimuli in the surrounding environment. Other people’s brains – your’s and mine – shut out the same information. We have to do it, in order to keep our sanity. If someone with a low IQ has low latent inhibition, it almost always results in metal illness. But, if someone has a high IQ, it almost always results in creative genius.
Sara: Do you think Michael’s a genius?
Dr. Brighton: Well, I think that word’s been derogated in the media these days, but in the classic sense of the word, yes I do.
Sara: You said there was something else you treated him for?
Dr. Brighton: He came to me with absolutely no sense of self-worth. The loss of both parents very often does that to a child. But, with the low latent inhibition, something interesting happened to Michael. He became very attune to all the suffering around him. He couldn’t shut it out. He became a rescuer. One of those people who are more concerned with other people’s welfare than their own.

Y, sobre todo:

Aide: Scofield back in the pen. Gotta be honest, didn’t think we'd see it happen. You know he’s going to break out. It’s in his blood.
Pad Man: That's exactly what we want him to do.

Es decir, tenemos a un individuo con un talento especial, unido a un trauma infantil que le lleva a ayudar a los demás... el típico superhéroe. A todo ello unimos una presunta manipulación genética para potenciar sus habilidades, lo que nos lleva al típico superhéroe convertido en un arma biológica... [sweat]
