This is a plot idea I developed after I heard about the Future Plot being a mass dream.
The basic idea behind the plot is that a mutant telepath with the power of dream projection has been hit by the Haywire Virus. Either a sample leaked, he was deliberatly affected, or some other explanation. His power went wild and essentially linked him to every person that participated in the thread and dredged up from their combinded dreams, and his own current experience with the Haywire Virus, the entire Future Plot senario. Now, his dream-based powers are breaking down, but he still possesses a psychic link to everyone who was in the Future Plot. This allows him to plant suggestions in their mind.
Depending on how the character is built, can affect where the plot goes from here. If he is portrayed as completely insane, then he begins to drive the mutants and humans that were affected by him mad, acting like a second outbreak of the Haywire Virus, but purely mental. If he is good but his powers have spiraled out of control, then he can try to enact a "King of the World" senario, where he tries to force everyone to do what he considers the right thing. The same can happen if he is evil.
I think that this would be a great plotline, and could lead into the Freaky-Friday, MRO style, where his powers accidentally switch people's minds around.
