* ItGetsEasier: He references the trope when he discusses just how it got easier and easier to do all kinds of immoral acts in the name of science. This is something that scares him to the point that he would betray his fellow man if just to ever so slightly lighten the burden on his concience.



* TokenGoodTeammate: Unlike the other scientists who are driven by either curiosity or desires for immortality and vitality, he is more concerned with "Iceman"'s and Mikotos saftey and has grown weary of the actions he has commited in the name of science.
