Not to mention the hideous tumours and deformation on the infected , zombie little children draining blood from 'angels' (read: corpses) while accompanied by massive armoured brutes fused into their diving suits. If this wasn't more than enough, by the sequel we have a SENTIENT FETUS in a tank, a sub-Christian Communist cult (responsible for the above, and headed up by an exceptionally unpleasant example of the 'Splicers', a creature whose infected muscle tissue grows over it's clothes. Body Horror taken to the nth degree.

''[[City of Heroes|City of Villains]]'' brings us the surprisingly [[Genre Savvy]] [http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Vernon_von_Grun Vernon von Grun], a [[Card-Carrying Villain|card-carrying]] [[Mad Scientist]] who not only expects things to go wrong, ''he looks forward to it'':
