Origin

Kick (Hypercortisone-D) is a drug composed of a concentrated dose of the Sublime bacteria in aerosol form. Sublime is a sentient bacteria that is one of the oldest living organisms on the planet. The use of Kick enhances powers and abilities in mutants, and can lead to the user's body being taken over by the bacteria which then controls the host.

Properties

The means for addiction are most likely linked with the sublime bacteria in Kick, which is known for its behavior altering effects and even possession in large enough doses. Some psychological addiction may also be taking place due to the desire of the drug's power enhancing effects.
