Not sure how it is in the mainstream Marvel U, but in the Reboot technological countermeasures exist for Super, Mutant, Psionic, and Mutant Psionic powers (essentially, power-dampening shackles), and Chemical, Biological, and Passive Biological powers get pharmacological countermeasures (better living through drugs). Mutant Biology (e.g. Angel's wings or Beast's foot manipulators) has no special countermeasures. (Magical, Divine, and Demonic channel external energies, and are subject to other countermeasures). I have to read up to see how Chi is composed; I didn't make note of it because I didn't expect to have more than a handful of peeps with Chi powers besides Iron Fist.

Otherwise... I vaguely remember prison facilities where guys like Batroc and Zaran end up being influential because they lose nothing or next to nothing from their abilities, while supers (mutant or otherwise), various mystically empowered characters, etc. all do because every power modifier they can think of has been locked down. So guys like that basically rule the gen pop.

Well, guys like Batroc and Zaran don't have powers, just intense training. Not surprising they'd rule the prison yards over the common crook.
I think the current super-prisons in the Marvel U are part of Ryker's Island in NY and whatever is on the west coast; from what I read, they closed the Vault down in the early '00s (actually, I think they destroyed it, but please don't quote me on that).

Well, power dampers in the MU would negate his healing factor (he's had it suppressed many times in the past without having to deal with metal poisoning, though). Physical restraints for the claws would have to be adamantium themselves. Not cheap. Surprised the US didn't just deport him to Canada and let Department H handle him, what with Logan being a foreigner.

I know, and I was using your terminology so we were on the same page.
Honestly, though, I can't think of any characters who channeled their chi to gain more power than the Immortal Weapons.
