Line 14:

** In Marvel's ''Mutopia X'', Agent Popova (after a failed assassination attempt on Daniel Kaufman) was blackmailed into performing favors for Kaufman by having her surgically altered into what many might consider a hideous (or beautiful) mutant appearance.

* Charles Burns' ''Black Hole''. The entire graphic novel centers around teenagers who are tragically mutated and disfigured by a fictional sexually-transmitted disease.

* Played for laughs in several [[The Simpsons|Simpsons]] ''Treehouse of Horror'' comics. Most notable example is "Sideshow Blob", where criminal Sideshow Bob (who has a bad cold) is injected with the wrong vaccine by Dr Nick Rivera and turns into a rampaging blob monster.

* If you think about it, [[Bee-Bee Gun|Swarm the Nazi-Made-Of-Bees]]. He was a Nazi scientist studying bees who [[I Love Nuclear Power|exposed them to radiation]], only for them to mutate and [[Family-Unfriendly Death|devour him down to his bones.]] These bees apparently had a [[Hive Mind]], which he became, and lived on as a man made of bees, sometimes wrapped around his human skeleton, sometimes not. This has never really been explored, perhaps because of the absurdity of a colony of telepathic bees with Nazi sympathies, but being devoured and becoming a colony of bees sounds like it would be pretty damn traumatic.

** Venom eventually ate the skeleton, but because you can't keep a good Bee-Nazi down, Swarm can now create new bodies by possessing a queen bee and using her hive. He's gone from horrific to pure [[Paranoia Fuel]], a rather impressive feat for a fairly lame villain.
