{{trope}}
Basically this is when one of the good guys [[Face Heel Turn|becomes a villain]] not out of choice, but because they were transformed into one one way or another (this makes it a [[Super-Trope]] to several tropes as outlined below). This can also apply to non-sapient entities, such as computers that [[AI Is a Crapshoot|go nuts]], [[
=== Subtropes include; ===
Line 15:
* [[The Virus]] <br />When the cause of the transformation is being "infected" by the enemy.
** [[The Corruption]] <br />When this gives the infectee evil powers while it mutates him into a monster.
** [[Reforged Into a Minion]]<br />When the character is turned into one of the villain's [[
* [[Demonic Possession]] <br />When something else with a different allegiance hijacks the subject's body.
** [[Many Spirits Inside of One]]<br />When it's done by multiple beings at the same time.
Line 32:
* [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Urameshi Yusuke]] {{spoiler|pretends}} this (v.1) has happened when {{spoiler|he comes back from the dead the second time. Just to mess with the racist assholes from the Spirit World who'd been sent to vaporize his corpse to make sure he couldn't arise as a superpowered demon. The dub version ends his [[Face Heel Turn]] speech with PSYCH! and in all versions he puts a shoe on his head and sticks his tongue out. Very funny.}}

* In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]], this happens to {{spoiler|Sayaka; when she doesn't clean her [[Soul Jar|Soul Gem]] she turns into a witch}}. {{spoiler|This will eventually happen to all [[Magical Girl
* In [[One Piece]], it's implied this happens to {{spoiler|Bartholomew Kuma as he turns more and more into a robot, to the point that he says that he will technically die soon since his free will shall be taken away from him by the World Government}}.
Line 45:
* In the second ''[[Resident Evil]]'' movie, a hero from the first is turned into Nemesis and sent to fight Alice and the heroes. Eventually she does manage to [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight|reach him]] and get him to break their control.
* The clone troops who were forced to turn against the Jedi by an implanted command in ''[[Star Wars]]''.
* In the ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' movie, this is the goal of Bison's [[Super Soldier]] program, starting by turning Guile's friend Blanka into a green monster. Thankfully, while he was being brainwashed the scientist in charge switched the "Evil" off and turned the "Good" on, allowing for a 40 / 60
* In ''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]],'' Indy is made into a zombie-slave, though later recovers.
