However, Etrigan is only as restrained as he is because of Bruce's virtue, and in reality, Bruce has been trapped with Etrigan for over a thousand years, pretending to be his own descendant unknown to himself because his servant Alfred (in reality Merlin the wizard), has kept watch over him and constantly changed his identity for all this time out of guilt of dooming him to an eternity as a prison for Etrigan. Bruce attempts to exorcise Etrigan, but the results are disastrous, resulting in the deaths of Catwoman, Killer Croc, Commissioner Gordon and several police officers, as well as Bruce's fiancee Glenda. In Daredevil and related comics, Mary Walker is a sweet, innocent woman who has two evil personalities, Typhoid Mary and Bloody Mary, who have sole access to their super powers.īruce consigns himself to repeating the cycle once more as Etrigan's jailer.Jackie Estacado in The Darkness also fits this, and likes it during the early parts of the series, as it gives him more unique ways to kill people.Doom Patrol has Crazy Jane, a woman with severe Dissociative Identity Disorder, caused by sexual abuse by her father.When the alien Dominators detonated their gene bomb during the "Invasion" event, activating the metagene in thousands of humans, Jane was one of those affected. Jane has 64 different personalities, some good, some bad, and some neutral or inactive (the Jane personality has no powers). TVTROPES SUPERPOWERED EVIL SIDE SKINĪmong the evil ones are Black Annis (a violent, psychotic misandrist with blue skin and razorsharp claws and teeth), and "Daddy" (a giant copy of Jane's father made of insects, excrement and puzzle pieces). The Golden Age Green Lantern also had a villainess who was an otherwise innocent woman's split personality, the first Thorn.Star Sapphire, villain and Love Interest of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, was similar, with Carol Ferris being unaware of what her alter ago was up to.Etrigan serves as this to his host Jason Blood.The Daddy persona was destroyed when Robotman entered Jane's psyche and helped her defeat him. Unfortunately, the Thorn re-manifested and Rose fled for Alan's sake, and then later had to give up her children to protect them.Īlan Scott would actually end up marrying the Thorn's good side, Rose Forrest, while she was using an assumed name. These children were in fact Obsidian and Jade. The Incredible Hulk: The Hulk is the canonical super-Hyde.Some time later Rose would have another child, Mayflower of the Force of July, but her father was never revealed. The Hulk, over time, has been softened down from "evil" to "pure id". Banner does have the Devil Hulk personality inside him, which is pure evil.Not that that stops him from racking up the damage bill every time he shows up. Bruce Banner's wife Betty Ross was once transformed into the villainous Harpy.As well as Gray Hulk and Guilt Hulk - though Grey Hulk isn't really "evil" he's another closer to "id".Immortal Hulk makes it a little ambiguous, with the Devil Hulk (an Appropriated Appellation) hating the human world, but being genuinely protective of Bruce and the classic, Savage Hulk, and being downright horrified by the One-Below-All. In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Hyde is this to Jekyll.Later she became Red She-Hulk, who's more The Atoner, and currently is the Red Harpy, whose looks and mentality are a mix of the former two. He points out (true to the source material) that this was not originally the case. Quite the opposite: Jekyll was originally a big strapping fellow while Hyde was rather diminutive. J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, has a fear of fire for good reason.The reason Jekyll is a pale and sickly shadow of his former self while Hyde is a big hulking brute now? Without Hyde, Jekyll has no drive, and without Jekyll, Hyde has no restraints. In the Alan Moore Retelling of the comic Marvelman, Miracleman, Kid Miracleman is the only survivor of a nuclear blast (he thinks) and stays in his superpowered form for years.When he loses his fear of fire? He unleashes Fernus, the last Burning Martian who beat the entire Justice League of America at once and Batman needed to call Plastic Man in to help. In this form, but using his civilian name of Johnny Bates, he grows up. His moral code begins to erode because he is the most powerful man on earth and he has no one to tell him what to do.
