Was V experimented on before the virus outbreak?


That is what it seems in the film. But it doesn't seem to make sense that all these people are being used as guinea pigs before the virus outbreak and before the raise of Norsefire. In the Graphic Novel Norsefire rose to power after the war and rounded up all political dissenters and 'undesirables' for their experimentation, based on their Nazi Ideology.

Aye its potential plot hole. Since Norsefire rises as a result of terrorist attacks it engineers. Either Sutler did them will in government as a tory, or the attacks on the tube happened, norsefire gained power and further attacks orchestrated by norsefire occurred.

or it's a time paradox!

The doctor said he was. He had a rare mutation that resisted the virus but it made him lose his memory. He lived in cell room V as in Roman numerial 5 and that's all he knows so goes by the name the letter V.

Yes, his ability to defend against the virus was used to make the cure, or vaccine. They were testing the virus before they released so once they did, they'd miraculously have a cure to it soon after to solidify their power.
