Madness manipulation vs Mad people

For example:

Carnage (Marvel Comics) has madness manipulation because by sharing his own twisted thoughts he drives people insane. In other words, he is already mad enough to make others mad.

Which leads me to believe he should have resistance to madness manipulation to some deegree.

Any other cases you can think of? Is being mad/crazy enough to resist Madness Manipulation, albeit to an unknown deegree?
 
Someone please move this to the General Discussion board. This does not belong here, thanks.
 
Well, this seems like one of the things that depends.

There's multiple forms of "Madness" in the real world. None of them are even remotely required to be similar, aside from a functional lack of normal thought. Things like Psychosis are entirely different from things like Schizophrenia.

So... it depends. If the two types of madness are similar, then the character that already suffers from it should be immune to madness manip that introduces that madness (A character suffering from schizophrenia can't get double schizophrenia, now can they?). Meanwhile, if they are not similar, they shouldn't be immune because it's a different type of mental instability (Someone with Schizophrenia certainly ca get Psychosis from madness manip)

Overall, I'd say it depends, and the best way to determine is to look at the symptoms and determine what they have.

...Which doesn't always work in fiction. Shit.

Thanks!
Now... Can I have input regarding this? Pls
Glad to help!

I agree with @KnightOfSunlight's point. I think the best characters could get is Limited Resistance to Madness Manipulatrion since they are already mad.
