⚫ | *** Lesbian Comet is the [[Post-Crisis]] version, who was a lesbian comedienne who'd combined with a male superhero with horse-DNA to form an [[Our Angels Are Different|Earth Angel]] in the same way as [[Supergirl]] combined with Linda Danvers. (S)he could alternate between the two forms. Supergirl was attracted to Comet, but somewhat taken aback by Andi. |

⚫ | * [[Older Than Feudalism]]: Zeus in the Greek Myths, often changed into animals and seduced women. These relationships often produced children who were harassed or even killed by his wife, Hera. Helen of Troy—the most beautiful woman in the world—is likely half-swan, since that was the form Zeus took when he raped her mother. Some versions of her birth involve her ''hatching from an egg.'' |

This may have been more about scale than anything else, given that the same woman gets involved with a shapechanging [[The Fair Folk|Fairie Queen]] that goes much, much further from the typical form factor ''trying'' to [[Squick]] her out. |

* In ''[[Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name]],'' [[Jerkass Woobie|Veser]] is the [[Half-Human Hybrid]] of a human and a selkie (see above). Going by the legend, though, she's not really a willing participant. Veser's [[Parental Substitute]] was also in love with her. It's a pretty dysfunctional family. |
