Alpha Wolf
The Amazing Colossal Man: Glenn Manning
Glenn was just another normal human who got "monsterized" through technology. A common theme during the 1950s. In this case it was a good old nuclear explosion and radiation that steadily caused him to grow into a giant.
Given that he was soldier, the army was hoping to use him as some kind of weapon, but that was quickly dismissed due to his growing mental instability. Glenn, hadn't been known to be stable anyway, he'd come close to a Section 8 a couple times before becoming a giant. It was only due to his coming from a proud military family that he'd avoided such a dismissal. Now that he was a 50ft freak, he just went crazier than a shithouse rat sitting in the hot sun. He wreaked havoc and again, it was only because of his influential family that he wasn't killed and merely captured and heavily drugged instead.
He was ultimately institutionalized and kept heavily doped up for a majority of his life, and let out for periods of time. A few agents wanted to use him in a series of movies, but most attempts were failures. He was either too doped up to act properly, or not doped up enough to act civilized.
In his later years he became a little more subdued and was released permanently, but still had to take medication.
