* This is [[She Hulk]]'s origin. She needed a blood transfusion and Bruce was on hand, afterwards she was permanently changed into a hulk, albeit she retained her personality and intellect.
** It later [[Retcon|turned out]] that the Hulk's drastic change in personality is caused by a multiple personality disorder which is exacerbated by his transformation. She-Hulk's personality ''does'' change, but she doesn't have the insane number of alternate transformations that Bruce does.
* In a [[Golden Age]] ''[[Superman]]
* During the first arc of ''[[Young Avengers]]'', Patriot claims that this is how he got his powers: his grandfather, [[Captain America (comics)]]'s supersoldier prototype, gave him a blood transfusion. It turns out be a lie (Patriot was addicted to a drug that gave super-powers), but then he [[Taking the Bullet|takes a shot from a Kree blaster]] for Cap.

Also, the problem with blood transfusion from ''bulletproof'' donors was discussed. After which they had to deal with the part where those [[Made of Iron]] cells run out of virus and start to attack the host's body, of course.
* In ''[[The Lands of Arran|Elves]]'' one of the safer ways to deal with untamed dragons is blood transfusion. If a humanoid has some fresh dragon blood (usually done via injection of a mix with one's own), they sense it and won't perceive one as prey. Then pumping some of the mix back into the dragon helps to command it. This needs to be repeated regularly to maintain the effects, of course. Consequences of dragon blood overdose may vary, especially if combined with unrelated necromantic effects, exotic poisons, pregnancy or fever. It's obscure, presumably because sensible people think in terms of having a domesticated dragon purchased or issued, rather than looking into crazy alchemical experiments to get a feral one if everything works well.
