* SanityHasItsAdvantages: [[spoiler:When Johann is panicking about the Fury and brings up how it killed Mad Jim Jaspers, an even more powerful RealityWarper than him, Legion points out that Jim Jaspers was [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin mad]] and lost because he couldn't use his powers to their fullest potential. Johann and Legion on the other hand are perfectly sane and are able to figure out a way to kill The Fury]].

* BiggerOnTheInside: Johann claims Rather than picking one of the empty rooms at the Xavier Mansion, Johan picks an unused broom closet as his room and expanded its inside. expands the interior into an entire dorm room, including a window.



* NoSelfBuffs: While he could theoretically change himself, and anyone else, any way he wants, Johan is too uncomfortable with the idea to go through with it at this point - most of his physical protection and improvements happen subconsciously, such as his immunity to harm, mind-reading, and rapid improvement from physical training.



* TrainingFromHell: Johann goes through training drills under Wolverine.

* TrainingFromHell: Johann goes through training drills under Wolverine. Unlike other kinds of damage, his powers do ''not'' protect him from the pain of intense excersize, they just help him recover and improve much faster.
