* The revenants in ''[[Girl Genius]]''. A bioweapon devised by a mad scientist, the revenants are produced by devices called hive engines. When activated, the devices release a queen "Slaver Wasp" that almost immediately produces hundreds of soldier wasps (insectoid, non-flying killing machines the size of a big dog). They then make a perimeter and drive everyone inside to the center, where the queen releases a horde of tiny wasps that fly down your throat and control your brain. These newly created revenants act as zombie guards for the hive while the warriors corral in more humans. Additionally, the revenants are completely loyal to the creator of the hive engine, making them an excellent device for assembling instant armies of mooks. |

* The Dimension of Pain demons from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' possess a spear that can turn human beings (and ferrets, apparently) into demons, and they use it frequently during their [[Demonic Invaders|invasion]] of the Dimension of Lame. However, since the spear can't completely get rid of the humans' inherent wussiness, the result is an army of pretty wussy demons. |

** A human-made version ([[Wild Mass Guessing|or is it...?]]) has appeared in the main dimension now. None of the resulting demons has been seen for more than a strip or two, so it remains to be seen if the results are Lame or otherwise weaker than real demons. |

* Unity, one of the protagonists of ''[[Skin Horse]]'', is a non-virulent virus. She's a collection of nanobots suspended in fluid, and anything injected with her becomes her completely... but she can't actually fight off the immune systems of the living at all, so anything not dead she tries on ends up vomiting her out after a short while. And she has no method of spreading outside of purposeful injection. |

* [[The Kingfisher]] is a vampire comic in which the condition can be communicated. It usually doesn't affect the mind of its victims directly, unless they become too hungry for blood. |
