I’m suddenly reminded of the movie “Special”.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_%28film%29. A man participates in a clinical trial of an experimental antidepressant, which causes severe hallucinations and psychosis. He believes that he’s developed super-powers and decides to become a superhero.

Moondog is a mess. Monty needs to rescue him from these mad pharmaceutical trials before he is permanently disabled!
