Reading this review of Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme mini-series, I'm reminded that nothing in comics is ever truly original:

    ...Tom Thumb’s latest invention: the Behavior Modification Program, which can modify brain cells so as to replace negative tendencies with positive ones, in essence reprogramming the personalities of criminals and transforming them into law-abiding citizens.

    Again, this causes some friction within the Squadron, as Amphibian and Arcanna object to the use of the device as an assault on free will.

    After another vote, the two are overruled, and plans begin to use the machine on the prison population.
