Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) gained multiple powers from genetic experiments performed on him before birth, and from his time spent in the Lifestream.

Abbi Singh, Juan Ruiz, and Tilda Weber (The Imperfects) were experimented on as children by Alex Sarkov and Sydney Burke. The scientists attempted to treat their genetic abnormalities and deficiencies by creating artificial stem cells designed to repair these disorders. However, while the treatments successfully addressed their genetic issues, they also led to unexpected side effects that manifested as superhuman abilities. These powers, initially unintended, reflect the unique characteristics of each individual’s biology, and their development marked a pivotal turn in the scientists’ experiments.
