"He's." Lucky wasn't the right word, but the one he had for the moment. "Fortunate. Most of the time when that sort of tampering happens, they either stay insane until they're killed, or the change itself eventually kills them." There were a few times he could think of that sort of thing happening - either because Magneto was being an asshole and thought he was helping, or because of similar 'accidents'.
