Despite the show being kind of awful on various levels, I really liked what they did with a similar concept in The Boys.

The Boys Season 4 spoilers

Using the magiscience superhero superhealing potion did not fix Hugh Sr.'s broken brain after his stroke. Now he just has a superpowered broken brain, that's super broken in horrifying ways, and powers that he can't control.

Yeah, I saw that scene where he phased into that guy's body in the hospital. I was eating my breakfast. I genuinely find the attention to detail in the gore quite disturbing
