[DC/Marvel] So why should I follow lab safety?

It seems that every other hapless researcher that 'accidentally' gets blasted by gamma rays or hit by mutated lightning gets superpowers.

So why should I be safe in the lab? Worst case scenario I get an alternate personality with anger issues.

Only people with latent mutant genes, if they are very lucky, have their powers awoken by dangerous environmental factors like radiation, lightning and toxic chemicals. Everyone else gets the more traditional cancer, toxin poisoning, or third degree burns. 

The Leader provided us with the most clear example of this when he wanted to get a bunch of super-powered henchmen and didn't want to waste a lot of time doing DNA testing. So he dropped a gamma bomb on a small city. A dozen or so people got super-powers, and everyone else died. 

(On the other hand, if you do carry latent mutant genes, you should totally chuck yourself in a particle accelerator at your earliest convenience.)
