I removed this Dollhouse example:
==
- Alpha in Dollhouse, who had a "composite event" which has given him access to multiple personalities worth of skills and made him a remorseless and efficient killing machine.
This doesn't really fit the trope. The name "Alpha" notwithstanding, Alpha wasn't the first doll, and we have no reason to think he was even the first "composite event" (and if he was, it was still the result of a freak accident, not a deliberate experiment). He's called "Alpha" just because that particular Dollhouse names its Dolls with the NATO alphabet ("Echo", "Sierra", "Victor", etc.)—though the name "Alpha" is probably meant as misdirection, making us think he was part of some secret experiment.

Could someone add an image of Adam to this trope? He's such a perfect fit for it...
