Line 391:
* In most versions of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', mutations are not done with the recipient's intent or approval, but most victims are able to cope reasonably well.
** Within limits, of course. In the 1987 series, April was likely ''very'' relieved when she was cured of the [[Cat Girl]] transformation that caused her to attack Splinter.
** The crossover ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles versus Batman'' had ''way'' too much fun with this, with many of [[Batman]]'s iconic villains getting mutagin-induced [[Karmic Transformation]]s. Bane becomes a leopard-mutant, Mr. Freeze [[Bears are Bad News| a polar bear]] (still packing a [[Freeze Ray]] and willing to use it) Harley Quinn, a hyena, Scarecrow a crow-mutant [[FridgeFeathered LogicFiend|crow-mutant (does that mean [[Fridge Logic|he scares himself?)]]), and Poison Ivy becomes [[Man-Eating Plant|a giant Venus flytrap monster]] (possibly the only known time mutagen creates a plant-themed mutant). And [[The Joker]] you ask? A nightmarish [[Snakes Are Evil| cobra-themed version of himself.]] In case anyone doesn't know, snakes ''eat'' turtles, making this a terrifying villain to ''all'' the heroes in this crossover.
** The 2012 cartoon seemed to have a policy that said ''nobody'' was safe from being mutated, as it happened to both Kirby, Karai, and in fact, most of New York. This was especially bad because in most cases, mutated victims lost their minds. {{spoiler| The one exception seemed to be April, [[One Curse Limit| but only because she had even bigger problems]], being half-Kraang.}}
* From ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'' episode "The Great Escape"; June discovers that the animals at a zoo are actually magical beings who have been kidnapped and turned into animals by a [[Vain Sorceress]] who has done so to feed on their life energy and remain young. June makes an attempt to rescue them but it turns sour, and she falls victim to the same curse. Her reaction to waking up as a lemur is rather realistic - as in, she ''panics''.
