Superhuman Transfusion: Difference between revisions

== Anime and Manga ==

* In the manga ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest|Wolf Guy]]'', Akira gives blood to Chiba after Hadou nearly kills him, and Chiba is healed by it and becomes a werewolf--and crazy, with the ability to change at will into some mutated-looking wolf-beast, unlike Akira's transformation. So, not a completely identical transference of abilities, but Akira didn't realize his powers would transfer at all.

* In ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'', Tsukune receives a temporary [[Emergency Transformation]] from Moka by injecting her blood into him whenever he injures himself while [[Taking the Bullet|protecting his friends]]. Eventually, it becomes permanent... [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|with consequences]].

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In ''[[Hellboy]]: The Island'', Hellboy gets drained of his blood and a prophet of the Ogdru Jahad absorbs it. This causes the prophet to begin transforming into a copy of ''Anung un Rama'', the demon that Hell wanted HB to be. The man is then driven insane.

* Spitfire of ''The Invaders'' (Marvel Comics) gained superpowers from a blood transfusion from the first Human Torch. I'm not sure how that worked, given that the first Human Torch was an ''android''.

** 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]] story, Lois Lane [[All Just a Dream|dreams]] she gets a blood transfusion from Superman and gains superpowers, becoming Superwoman.

* ''[[The 4400]]'' had an inversion. Isabel, the first child born to two returnees, produces pure [[Super Serum|Promycin.]] When all the other returnees are suffering from an anti-promycin drug, her blood cures Shawn who went on to use his own healing powers on everyone else.

* In ''[[Dark Angel]]'', when Max gives an emergency transfusion to Logan, her stem-cell-laden blood starts to repair his spine. Unfortunately, it doesn't last, but he eventually gets a hold of a mechanical exoskeleton that lets him walk again. Later, a transfusion from another transgenic has longer-lasting effects, which when added to the support from the exoskeleton let him be stronger and faster.

* In the tv movie ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109589/ Deep Red]''. It has a girl whose blood rejuvenates the recipient and grants [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]. In a twist, the power only lasts for a limited time, and regular transfusions are needed for people to sustain them. It's because of this that the bad guy, who has some of her blood in his system, is after her.

* In [[Misfits]], Nikki inadvertently gains the ability to teleport by a heart transplant from Ollie. She never learned to control it though.

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Done deliberately in ''[[Darths and Droids]]''; [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0086.html Jim had Qui-Gon give Anakin a blood transfusion] so the mini-chlorines [[Malaproper|[sic] ]] would make him Force-sensitive for the podrace. [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0142.html A later strip] says that the Jedi tried it a few centuries ago, but the results were unpredictable.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* [[Tex Avery]] plays it for laughs (natch) in the [[Walter Lantz]] cartoon "Crazy Mixed-up Pup". A man and his dog are run over and the paramedics give them transfusions, only the man gets canine plasma and the dog gets human plasma, resulting in a man acting like a dog and vice versa.
