8. Patriot

Drug of Choice: Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH)

Everyone wants to be a superhero. But don’t do it, because their lives are full of exhausting drama and all their friends die. Even so everyone still seems to want to do it for some reason. This is especially of those who come from a legacy of heroism but don’t  have superpowers of their own, like Eli Bradley, grandson of the original Captain America, Isaiah Bradley.

But when Eli joins the Young Avengers under the name Patriot, it appears that he’s come into his own, after all. He tells his teammates that after being critically injured, he received a superpower-granting blood transfusion from his grandfather.

Unfortunately, this is a lie. In reality, Eli’s been using MGH, the drug known as Mutant Growth Hormone, a steroid that replicates mutant powers in its users. When the team learns of this, they force Eli to take a temporary leave of absence from the team.
