Defensor was pretty close as I recall
This has happened a handful of times, even in the big 2.

Just cause you could do something with down syndrome people doesn't mean you should.
Case and point, crispin glover's What Is It
Legion's autistic, as is one of the Monet twins.

know there are some. But they aren't popular so they don't get used, plus you can't kill them cause then you get accused of things. But I know Reed has Autism.

Only thing I can think of is when Ennis did it in The Boys as a horrible dark joke, as one would expect.
Super Duper
There are mutants that had mental/physical problema before they got their powers.
For example in morrison run there is an autistic Kid that has to wear a contamination suit because he became gas

this reminds me of a short story i read about a retarded angel. don't remember the name, but the point is that characters like that are incredibly difficult to write as anything but irreverent villains. it does happen, just usually never to heroes.
