| Raised in a Lab | comment |
This person spent their formative years in a laboratory, as a test-subject or experiment. Maybe they were created there, maybe they were taken there as infants due to there being something special about them — either way, they've got next to no experience with the world outside the lab. Of course, given that there likely was a reason they were IN that lab in the first place, they probably also have a severe case of Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training... which can, in combination, lead to that classic Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass setup. Rare is the person who was Raised In A Lab and turns out to be completely harmless! They may be badly traumatized due to the torturous experiments that were performed on them regularly, or they may have been raised by a Motherly Scientist who provided a pleasant, if offbeat, childhood. And while they may end up escaping from the lab, that's far from a given — they may initially turn up as an obedient Tyke Bomb, or in more darkly comedic works, may simply have been kicked out on the streets after the project they were part of got defunded by the shady corporation or government who started it. Either way, they're a Fish out of Water, and even many years after (if being Raised In A Lab is part of an adult character's Dark and Troubled Past) it is likely to color their outlook and personality to a high degree. May lead to them being Not Used to Freedom and Skilled, but Naive. Not to be confused with Designer Babies, which focuses on meddling with the baby's genetics, not on how the baby was raised after the meddling; or Tyke Bomb, which is a Child Soldier raised by the military instead of by a lab; or Escaped from the Lab, which also covers adults who grew up outside of a lab getting captured by the lab and later escaping.

The Unstoppable Wasp: Nadia van Dyne was raised in a Mad Scientist splinter group of the Red Room, the Russian Tyke Bomb-factory black ops organization better known for creating the Black Widows. This was an unusual variation, as the intention was not to experiment on her and her cohort, but to raise and indoctrinate them as the next generation of mad scientists. | |

In A Certain Magical Index and its spinoffs, Academy City is a hyper-advanced "world capital of science" founded to research esper abilities. Children who were brought to the city and abandoned, known colloquially as "Child Errors", are easily preyed upon by underground Mad Scientists in need of test subjects, making this a fairly common background for esper antagonists. | |

Bungo Stray Dogs: Chuuya may be this, depending on whether he is the original or the clone. When the original was very young, he was abducted by the military and cloned as part of a series of experiments to create an artificial Ability user by merging him with an entity called Arahabaki. Later, when Chuuya was seven, Rimbaud and Verlaine released one of the boys in a botched kidnapping attempt, who was found by Shirase and brought into the Sheep. The other remained in the lab for the next nine years until he was killed by N in front of the surviving Chuuya. | |

Ace from the Justice League episodes "Wild Cards" and "Epilogue" was born with incredible psychic abilities that left people in a state of catatonic insanity simply by making eye contact with them. She was taken into Project Cadmus' custody when she was a toddler. They subjected her to constant testing to examine the limits of her abilities and find a way to control her. In her final days, she expresses resentment for being cheated out of her childhood by something out of her control, which Batman empathizes with. | |

The Boys (2019): As in the source material, Homelander was raised in a lab throughout his childhood while his propaganda pretends that he's been raised as The All-American Boy. The constant feeling of isolation he felt, and accidental murders of others played a key part in making him into what he is today. | |

BioShock Infinite: Due to her ability to create portals to Alternate Universes, Elizabeth was locked in a tower deprived of human contact and kept under observation by many scientists, who kept very careful watch over her to the point of invading her privacy. This started when she was an infant, and she only escapes in her early 20's with assistance from Booker. However, she was never subjected under direct experiments. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Gainsborough, along with her mother, was one of Professor Hojo's test subjects in the Shinra labs as a child. Little is told of her time there, just that her mother was killed when they escaped when she was seven, and her father died trying to prevent Shinra from taking them when she wasn't even a month old. What we see of Hojo and her experience when she's briefly recaptured give just enough hints to let players fill in the gaps themselves. | |

All three of the titular girls of Psychic Squad were placed in government facilities from a very early age due to their incredible Psychic Powers. After years of experimentation and training, they got turned into an obedient squad of government-sponsored Tyke-Bombs, but it was only with the start of the series and the arrival of their new manager, Minamoto, that they started getting treated as PEOPLE and not dangerous test-subjects/weapons. No wonder they all fixated so heavily on him... | |

Sergeant Taura from the Vorkosigan Saga. In "Labyrinth", when her age was sixteen and her designation was Nine, she describes her upbringing as "I lived with hired fosterers till I was eight. Like the clones do. Then I started to get big and clumsy and break things — they brought me to live at the lab after that. It was all right, I was warm and had plenty to eat." | |

Iris from the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection/Detonation duology is a rare positive example, as she is shown to have nothing but happy memories of all of the scientists who created and raised her. In fact, the main reason she's an antagonist is because she wants revenge for all of them having been massacred, especially the head scientist (whom she viewed as a father figure). | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Odo was first discovered as an infant Changeling and was taken to the Bajoran Institute of Science where he was kept and studied until he managed to prove that he was actually sentient. Even then he was still treated as a science experiment or as a sideshow freak to entertain the Cardassian occupiers. This lead to a great deal of bitterness and resentment that he carried for years after he finally left the Institute. | |

Jack from Mass Effect 2 broke out one day in her teenage years and spent most of her adult life tearing around Citadel space, since the lab taught her how to control her phenomenal Biotic abilities and not much else. Including social norms. She's rude, crude, runs around topless, and once rammed a space station into a moon for giggles. | |

Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo was a human-made, genetically engineered Pokémon that was an imperfect close of Mew. Created and raised in a test tube, Mewtwo used its psychic powers to communicate with the other test subjects, including the head researcher Dr. Fuji's deceased daughter Amber, to learn about life and morality. After Amber's consciousness faded, Mewtwo's memories were wiped in fear of the grief being too stressful, but this only left Mewtwo with feelings of sadness and loneliness that it did not understand, making him lash out and escape. | |

Superman: In Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, Jimmy befriends the Outsiders, Modified Clones who were raised in Cadmus with the intent of them becoming Cadmus personnel, but the Outsiders chose to leave the project and become a strange biker gang in the wilderness outside of Metropolis instead. The second iteration of the Newsboy Legion were clones who were created and raised in Project Cadmus where they were constantly meddling in things. They released Superboy "S-13" from the lab before he was completed to Director Westfield's specifications and generally annoyed many of the scientists there by being underfoot. In the Flashpoint (DC Comics) universe, Clark Kent was captured as a child and raised in a lab. Before the Flash and his allies freed him, Clark had never even seen sunlight. In his New 52 origins, Superboy Conner Kent/Kon-El was raised in a lab as an Artificial Human with Superman's DNA and later released as a Human Weapon. |

In The Maze Runner, most of WICKED's subjects were raised at the organisation's laboratory complex after being taken from their families as young children.note The second prequel to the original trilogy reveals that at least one of them was already a teenager when he became part of the Trials. WICKED are searching for a cure for a deadly brain disease called the Flare, the result of a virus which was unleashed as a means of population control in the wake of the world being devastated by solar flares. The majority of the subjects were chosen because they had a rare immunity to the Flare and WICKED hoped that studying their brain patterns might lead to a cure; a few non-Immunes were chosen as control subjects. | |

The Boys: Known to be the case for the Homelander, who was raised in a lab equipped with an atomic bomb as a failsafe (as befitting a Superman Substitute, the official story is that he'd been found and raised by a rural couple). Strangely enough, his upbringing isn't what eventually drove him off the deep end, that was his clone gaslighting him into an official Face–Heel Turn was solely to have a reason to kill him, justifying the clone's existence. | |

Fate/Grand Order: In the prologue of the Sixth Singularity, it's revealed that co-protagonist Mash Kyrielight is a kind of clone/Homonculus mix, who was created with perfect magic circuits in order to host a heroic spirit, and had a predetermined life span. In addition, due to being raised in a sterile environment, she could not go outside. She was also not the only one, though all the others died. After said spirit called out the scientists and magi involved, they stopped the experiments out of guilt, and gave her as much freedom in Chaldea as they could. Most of their issues are solved at the end of the first part of the game. | |

Tamara from Moshi Monsters spent her childhood in a lab and was ostensibly created accidentally as the result of an eccentric scientist's experiment. However, it doesn't seem to have any effect on her except for the fact that her species is hard to define, she's super-intelligent and has electrical powers, and growing up in a lab seems to have inspired her to become a scientist herself. | |

Eleven in Stranger Things was abducted at birth due to her telekinetic abilities. She was taken into experimentation and trained to use her powers, deprived of all contact with the outside world. As a result, her language is stunted and her social skills are non-existent. At the start of the series, she escapes and is found by a group of boys her age. | |

Logan: The child mutants were raised as bioweapons in a Mexican lab, with any attempt by the nurses to treat them like normal humans severely reprimanded by higher-ups. | |

To some extent, C2 from Carl². While a lot of his immature and socially ignorant behavior is attributed to his being younger than he looks, some of his nerdier behavior like a love of school can be related back to the set of triplet doctors who raised him. The opening theme song shows that he thinks a bowtie is acceptable for a teenagers' yearbook photo; when we finally meet "the lab guys", they do in fact all wear bowties. | |

In Singularity, Lucy was taken at a young age by the Balam Alliance to be experiment on, along with others, to find a way to create Super Soldiers for eight years. It seems she went through hell from what they did to her, possibly worse than any of the other test subjects, as she was the only one who came closest to the Alliance's goal. Jellal found out what the Alliance was doing and intercepted the ship transporting Lucy to a new facility and freeing her before dropping her on Erza's crew. | |

Grace from El Goonish Shive is a classic example — a genetically engineered human/alien/squirrel hybrid created by a shady corporate lab. She was supposed to be trained into a badass Voluntary Shapeshifting Super-Soldier, but proved not to have the temperament for it. What happened next is... complicated. In short, by the time she actually made good her escape, it wasn't really a laboratory anymore, and she is still only slowly learning to pick up on the cues and references of normal society. | |

Meta Salmhofer from the Evillious Chronicles was created in a lab by Seth Twiright, and grew up without a mother or father to take care of her. When Seth selected her as the new Ma and she saw the children she bore being tested on, she remembered her loveless childhood, and, not wanting her children to suffer the same fate she did, kidnapped them and ran to the forest to raise them herself. | |

Kengan Ashura: Takeshi Wakatsuki practically grew up in Furumi Pharmaceutical's lab due to his Superman Syndrome. A benevolent example, the then-CEO of the company wanted to help the boy control his Super-Strength so that he would stop breaking everything he touches, and help him live a normal life. Heihachi Furumi (current CEO of the company and his predecessor's nephew), in particular, became his Parental Substitute and would send him to school and take him out to experience normal activities, such as watching baseball matches and playing bowling. | |

Shiro, one half of 'The Blank' in No Game No Life, was moved to a lab — apparently with her mother's consent — before she turned one, due to her ludicrous intelligence. A Child Prodigy writ large, she was already speaking fluently at that point, and acing every intelligence-test put to her — rendering her IQ effectively immeasureable. While the tests and experiments we see all appear to be fairly ethical and nonintrusive, this nonetheless left her with a sense of profound isolation and disconnect from the rest of humanity, with her first real human connection being the fateful encounter with her step-brother, Kuro — a prodigy in his own right, though not to the same degree. We never find out how she eventually left the lab, though smart money is on it being thanks to Kuro and his mastery of social manipulation. Either way, those years left their mark — without Kuro close at hand, she's completely nonfunctional, basically shutting down and going catatonic. | |

The second iteration of the Newsboy Legion were clones who were created and raised in Project Cadmus where they were constantly meddling in things. They released Superboy "S-13" from the lab before he was completed to Director Westfield's specifications and generally annoyed many of the scientists there by being underfoot. | |

In The Stone Sky, the Tuners are Artificial Human Child Mages trained from birth to operate the Obelisk Gate Amplifier Artifact. On their one trip outside the lab, they realize that they're kept sequestered because the Sylanagistine people loathe them and that they'll be destroyed for Human Resources as soon as they've served their purpose. | |

This is implied to be the case with Ragna and his siblings in BlazBlue. The earliest record and memory that they have is that they used to be confined in a lab as little children before Jubei rescued them and put them under Celica's custody. As they are revealed to be the "children" of the 5th Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, it's implied that the three were raised in a lab due to their nature. | |

Control: Dylan Faden was taken as a child by the FBC to be groomed into the next Director due to his innate supernatural power. Unfortunately, the FBC was unfit to handle a child. Dylan ended up being treated as little more than a resource to be used by staff, keeping him in a cell with his every action monitored. Even their more benevolent efforts to help him adjust to his new way of life failed miserably. Worse still, a fatal injury-inducing outburst due to this treatment caused the FBC to deem him unfit for the role but kept him locked up. By the events of the game itself, almost two decades later, he has become The Resenter. | |
