Drug of Choice: Adrenaline Pills

The Weapon Plus Project’s attempts to pursue the Captain America formula don’t exactly pan out, and there's no better example of this than Nuke.

Sgt. Frank Simpson, a Vietnam vet with a desire to give all for his county, is repeatedly experimented upon until he becomes a weapon of mass death. As such, he’s monitored with Adrenaline Pills that come in three colors: red, white, and blue (presumably cherry, lemon, and blue raspberry in flavor).

Reds pump Nuke full of adrenaline to feed his rage, making him a violent madman. Whites drop his adrenaline level to a more normal range, bringing his rampages to an end. Blues repress his anger and pacify him on an ongoing basis.

We later learn that the initial pills may be placebos. But later instances of the red adrenaline pill used by the Nuke Platoon turn out to be very real.
