And consequently, he doesn't pull it out unless the situation is beyond dire and it's time to set his usual nice-guy facade aside, meaning that even without the Minus Wave there's going to be blood on the walls when he's finished. Akira, the survivor most of the story has focused on so far, has a darker personality hidden within him that tends to come out when he's at a crossroads and pushes him to survive and adapt to their post-apocalyptic world, even if doing so sometimes requires him to do unethical things.
Soul Eater is infected by some of Medusa's black blood, which manifests itself as a devil living inside his head offering him power in return for giving in to the insanity. On the one occasion he and Maka give into it in order to stand a chance against The Dragon , the trope is almost fulfilled to a tee They barely make it back to sanity, which the devil seems to consider only a temporary setback. While not anywhere as drastic a change as the above, Stein's tactic against Medusa, of giving into his own madness, could also be seen as this.
Though this side is not so much 'hidden' as it is what Stein would be if he didn't hold himself back through fear. He also seems able to control it frighteningly well, if Spirit's comments at the time are anything to go by. Lina from Slayers when she's possessed by the being that accidentally created the universe and was presumed to be ready to undo it just as willingly. However, it is instantly subverted as it chastises the villain that made Lina fall to it and unmakes only him and all his plans.
Her actual motivations are stated to be simply alien to our moral scale. The "berserker spirits" aka The Dragons from Ikki Tousen. So far, we have four dragon holders: However, since the power of a Titan isn't easy to control most of them are mindless ravaging beasts, after all , this tends to make him more Chaotic Neutral than Chaotic Evil like the regular Titans who eat people For the Evulz.
Absorbing the energy of a factory's worth of fake Chaos Emeralds coupled with seeing his friends tortured unleashed Dark Sonic for the first time in animated continuity. Complete with white eyes and navy-dark energy all over his body, plus the ability to tear anything that pisses him off to shreds. The main character of Satan is actually the container of Satan himself along with nine other demons that have the ability to possess people.
There are also ten angels, none of which are evil or trying to take over but some are incredibly vain and judgmental. While not necessarily "evil," a mechanical version of this can be found within Mobile Suit Gundam Wing , specifically in the form of the Zero System, a computer system in the Wing Zero which interfaces with the pilot's brain, enhancing his reaction time and aggressiveness, and allowing him to process tactical data with superhuman speed and efficiency Given that they're still inside a giant, city-killing death machine with all their piloting skills boosted, results are predictably messy.
The Zero System can be used safely: In this case the pilot then gains all the benefits without the insanity. Both Heero and Zechs reach this point in the end - and, in fact, Heero eventually becomes so relaxed about the obligatory in-cockpit Mind Rape that he starts offering it to his fellow pilots as therapy. Hallelujiah, a blood-thirsty "warrior" half who is more skilled than any other pilot in Celestial Being. In the Gundam 00 movie his mech, the Harute, gets one of its own called Marute. Then there's the Unicorn Gundam. Normally a high performance mobile suit with generally above average statistics but nothing of any particularly remarkable quality, when the pilot and it come into contact with a Newtype enemy and the pilot feels a strong enough emotional pull usually anger , the Gundam feeds off of it and transforms into the eponymous Unicorn Gundam, now in its "NT-D" Newtype Destroyer Mode.
Its speed ramps up significantly, its strength seems to increase, it gains new abilities related to its psycoframe, and worst of all the suit's AI will stop at nothing short of a manual override or a Heroic R. This is entirely not good for anyone who happens to be facing the thing down, as it generally goes from on an even footing or slightly underperforming the enemy to stomping their face in on a one-sided epic beating.
After falling victim to this once or twice, Banagher learns how to consciously activate the NT-D system and override its AI, leaving him in complete control of the suit. Tiny, fifteen year old boy turns into the infamous eponymous bastard, the all-powerful Exploding Wizard. Then subverted since Darsh does a lot of dorky things outside of battle and seems much more like a Jerk with a Heart of Gold than anything else, with some people often remarking that compared to the Dark Schneider of fifteen years ago, this one is practically a saint. In Saikano , Chise's personality while in the Ultimate Weapon form could be psychotically vindictive, threatening on multiple occasions to utterly eradicate anyone who got in her way or made her mad, be it friend or foe Parodied when Yusuke dies, and it is revealed that he is in fact part demon.
Said demon blood kicks in and he comes Back from the Dead , with his demonic powers lending him a considerable increase in strength. He then decides to have a little fun at the expense of some alarmist commandos who wanted to take him out. For what I desire is ending the world and everyone in it. For I am the mighty Mazoku, Lord of Evil! And now, after hibernating for a thousand years I will finally reveal my true form! Damn, you guys are gullible! I bring forth nothing. In the Alan Moore Retelling of the comic Marvelman , Miracleman , Kid Miracleman is the only survivor of a nuclear blast he thinks and stays in his superpowered form for years.
In this form, but using his civilian name of Johnny Bates, he grows up. His moral code begins to erode because he is the most powerful man on earth and he has no one to tell him what to do. When Miracleman confronts him years later, he is the CEO of a computer company and a rather nasty piece of work. They fight, and he is forced to change back into a normal human child His other self didn't age for years while in stasis and left at an orphanage.
There he is constantly bullied by other orphans, having to carry the dreadful knowledge that he could become more powerful than any of them, but he dare not because KM would start killing people. Then he is pinned one day, and some of the boys attempt to gang rape him, and this pushes him past the breaking point. The resulting awakening of KM results in the slaughter of the boys and a significant number of the population of London.
Miracleman is forced to make him transform back into a human and end his life with a Neck Snap. In an apocryphal story called "The Rascal Prince" , a book read by followers of Johnny Bates who think he was a tragic victim tells a tale two ways: The revisionist version that depicts KM's meeting with an older woman as a flirty chaste romance, and as the Real Life version depicting the rape of an unwilling victim.
The Incredible Hulk is the canonical super-Hyde. The Hulk, over time, has been softened down from "evil" to "pure id". Not that that stops him from racking up the damage bill every time he shows up. Banner does have the Devil Hulk personality inside him, which is pure evil.
Bruce Banner's wife Betty Ross has been transformed into the villainous Harpy. Wolverine has a tendency to lapse into a "berserker rage" while in close combat. In this state he lashes out with the intensity and aggression of a mindless animal and is even more resistant to psionic attack. Though he loathes it, he acknowledges that it has saved his life countless times. Of course, he uses it so often without negative side effects that the whole "evil side" part is something of an Informed Flaw.
Whether Jean actually became Phoenix and then Dark Phoenix or was merely replaced by the Phoenix Force is in an almost constant state of retcon , so the confusion is quite understandable. However, one thing remains the same: That's Not Hyperbole ; she's responsible for the eradication of a whole solar system. Angel has Archangel, the persona he developed after being experimented on by Apocalypse. Warren usually has wings and average healing powers.
Archangel has razor sharp, retractable wings that launch out metal feathers that are dipped in his natural poison. X-Force had to call upon Archangel more than a few times, though he has since been extinguished, and Angel now possesses angelic metal wings. Professor X himself is has had this happen as he tends to repress every negative thought and emotion he experiences—which on three different occasions—the lead-up to the original Phoenix story, X-Mem vs. The New Mutants Magik , way back when, was partially transformed into a demon by Belasco.
Her "Darkchylde" side is intelligent but malicious, though almost powerless on Earth, where her magic doesn't work very well. In the end it took over her and nearly ended the world in a major Crossover Event. He usually has one or more evil personalities, except when they are temporarily merged. His father Charles Xavier also sometimes suffers from this trope. First, in a crossover mini-series with the Micronauts there was the Entity, a personification of his dark side. Later there was the supremely powerful Onslaught, who also contained elements of Magneto's evil side. Then there is Cassandra Nova, who combines this trope with elements of the evil twin and alien invader.
J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter , has a fear of fire for good reason. When he loses his fear of fire? Super Sonic in the British Sonic the Comic comic series. In that comic's canon, the Chaos Emeralds are full of pure evil as energy , rather than their neutral alignment as confirmed as canon by Sonic Adventure. Super Sonic came about by overexposure to the Chaos Emeralds, and as such When he split from Sonic and lost his powers he mellowed out, but returned to form when he got them back. The Archie comics did a homage to this in one issue, although in that canon there's generally no personality difference between Sonic and Super Sonic, Doctor Robotnik is also this to his former self Dr Ovi Kintobor , due to exposure to raw evil Chaos Energy.
The Sentry and the Void, from Marvel Comics, are this trope taken to its extreme. They manifested as alter-egos of a single person, representing the good and dark sides of humanity, respectively. The Sentry is a superhero and the Void is a supervillain, and in a slight variation on this trope, the Void is exactly as powerful as the Sentry, and occasionally kills someone for every person the Sentry saves. It was later revealed that the Void exists because before becoming the Sentry, Bob Reynolds was a junkie who broke into a research facility looking for crystal meth and ended up drinking a potion that gave him the powers of the Sentry.
He became addicted to that potion and the rush of being an admired and respected superhero, but deep down he was still a selfish, murdering junkie — and this expressed itself through the Void. And later it was revealed that the Void was in fact the Angel of Death. The Sentry is kind of a mess. Jackie Estacado in The Darkness also fits this, and likes it during the early parts of the series, as it gives him more unique ways to kill people. Negative, a new Spider-Man villain, takes this to a whole new level. He was born when a synthetic drug split a man's personality in two - the pure good side became philanthropist Martin Li, while the pure evil side became Mr.
Both fight with each other in an interesting way - Negative likes to corrupt all Li's good deeds, while Li helps people that suffer because of Negative. Curt Connors and Lizard are often portrayed this way However, there's a Retcon which reveals that Connors was always in control of Lizard and let him out when life was too hard for him. He just keeps telling himself it's not true. Though not portrayed this way in the original comics, all subsequent portrayals of the Venom symbiote have made it out to be this, with even the comic book symbiote having been RetConned into a more malevolent entity.
In the Batman R. Two-Face is sometimes treated this way, being able to do the nasty deeds that "good" Harvey Dent can't bring himself to. This is particularly evident in the story "Two of a Kind". A Tragedy", Bruce Wayne is unknowingly the host of Etrigan the Demon, who emerges every night to violently battle criminals in Gotham. However, Etrigan is only as restrained as he is because of Bruce's virtue, and in reality, Bruce has been trapped with Etrigan for over a thousand years, pretending to be his own descendant unknown to himself because his servant Alfred in reality Merlin the wizard , has kept watch over him and constantly changed his identity for all this time out of guilt of dooming him to an eternity as a prison for Etrigan.
Bruce attempts to excise Etrigan, but the results are disastrous, resulting in the deaths of Catwoman, Killer Croc, Commissioner Gordon and several police officers, as well as Bruce's fiancee Glenda. Bruce consigns himself to repeating the cycle once more as Etrigans jailer. Eclipso has acted as this to various characters in the DC universe.
Subverted in one Blue Beetle comic, where Eclipso invokes this by releasing Jaime's darkest fantasy of ultimate power to serve as her champion against Paco. This backfires when this turns out to be a dentist, who is easily defeated Jamie's deepest desire has nothing to do with power, what he wants is a stable career to help support his family. Raven of the Titans has to maintain strict control over her emotions to the point of being The Stoic.
If she doesn't, she runs the risk of manifesting the extradimensional demon side of her family tree and becoming Daddy's Little Villain. This is one of the major reasons Raven and Beast Boy have never been able to make a relationship work in the long run despite strong mutual feelings for each other. The Golden Age Green Lantern also had a villainess who was an otherwise innocent woman's split personality, the first Thorn.
Alan Scott would actually end up marrying the Thorn's good side, Rose Forrest, while she was using an assumed name.
Unfortunately, the Thorn re-manifested and Rose fled for Alan's sake, and then later had to give up her children to protect them. These children were in fact Obsidian and Jade. Some time later Rose would have another child, Mayflower of the Force of July, but her father was never revealed. Astronaut Brice Rogers became the Moon Man after passing through a comet's tail while traveling to the Moon. During the day he was Brice, but exposure to moonlight forced the emergence of his criminal alter ego. She made her final appearance in World's Finest, inheriting Moonman's powers and developing an alter ego as Lady Lunar.
Etrigan serves as this to his host Jason Blood. Anti-hero but firmly one of the good guys Hellhound in Astro City 's Dark Ages arc has a huge, colorful demon inside him. When it comes out, well, the demon isn't one of the good guys. As himself, he's a normal human Plucky Boy and Boisterous Bruiser -in-training who looks up to Whitman and wants to be a good sidekick.
But when he makes the mistake of drawing Whitman's cursed sword, he turns into the demonic Bloodwraith who is willing to kill good and bad alike, cruelly mocks Whitman and his friends and can literally! Sean spends much of the time afterwards trying to keep his evil side and addiction to the sword's influence under control and failing miserably. In the Red Daughter of Krypton story arc, Siobhan Smythe -who usually is the super-villain named Silver Banshee- let her Silver Banshee evil self out during her fight with Supergirl to try to hold her mindless friend back.

It's frighteningly cold , ruthlessly calculating, and while not explicitly more powerful, Carol describes it as The Unfettered , while others describe it as being frighteningly reminiscent of a young Magneto.
Later, it resulted in Harry putting an entire HYDRA assault team at his mercy and nearly forcing a Psychic-Assisted Suicide after their leader took a child hostage, only being talked down by Jane. Then, a chapter later, it led to him telekinetically ripping Gravemoss' ribcage open and tearing his heart out not that it had any long term effect. Unsurprisingly, Carol keeps a close watch on him , as Harry does on himself, being invariably horrified by what he's done when it sinks in. Towards the end of the first book, Harry's protection is revealed as a fragment of the Phoenix Force, and the start of Ghosts of the Past shows that he can tap into it.
Considering the already mentioned dark side and that the Phoenix has taken him over to protect him, appearing in the gear of the Dark Phoenix and destroying everything in its way, this is rather worrying - while the Phoenix is broadly benevolent or at least, Lily, the White Phoenix of the Crown, is, the power itself is a morally neutral, b incredibly volatile. As a result, Loki's fear is that that the two will combine and turn him into the Dark Phoenix. This fear turns out to be entirely justified. Bucky's Winter Soldier persona functions as this.
He's still got the same abilities and skills, the Soldier persona is just much more ruthless, focused, and economical. Although the "superpower" in question is Kira's utter lack of morality and the willingness to wield the Death Note. It's later revealed that at least some ponies have a similar Super-Powered Evil Side; Rainbow Dash nearly transforms before being calmed down at one point.
Unfortunately, nopony is around to calm Fluttershy down when she snaps and she transforms into the Reality Warping Mad Goddess named Princess Gaia, a Well-Intentioned Extremist who seeks to turn the world into a utopia by brainwashing everyone into being happy and turning them into foals because she perceives them as being happier at that age.

The final stretch of the Dark World arc introduces Nightmare Eclipse, an alternate-timeline Twilight Sparkle gone Nightmare after being consumed by the desire to make Discord suffer for what he's done, and thus created a "Groundhog Day" Loop to trap him in, deleting each world and rewinding time each time Discord is defeated so he can suffer some more In addition, the end of the Mind Games arc sees Diamond Tiara transform into a Nightmare, but as a result of Discord's psychological manipulation and breaking of her spirit rather than a facet of herself consuming her.
Her theme is Discord's brand of chaos, and she earns a certain eight-pointed star symbol as her new Cutie Mark. In the Shadow Wars universe, a Nightmare can happen naturally or with the assistance of the Night Shadows , horrible parasitic possessors from a dying alternate universe. There are a couple among the children of The Emiya Clan. Sakuya inherited part of the Angra Mainyu from her mother.

Played with in Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. Harry has what he calls a "dark" side, which is extremely good at plotting and seeing through plots Harry, who is familiar with this trope, is very put out when he discovers that it's no better at magic than him, and thus considers his "dark" side to be defective. Played straight in Ah! Even before he had his Archs, Jago was a competent fighter but when things got rough, he could us his dark power side, known as "Papa Jupiter".
At his most basic level, Jupiter can boost Jago's fighting power to the point where he can plaster ten grown men. Unfortunately at this level of power, he has no problem with killing people, even those he cares about though he prefers enemies as they tend to fight back. This is brought to a head during the Deity Games when he faces a mirror that reflects a person's worst fears as sees the result of what a fully unleashed Jupiter can do; he devastates the world, crucifies Lamb and Damascus, beats Lind to death with a rock and uses his knife to murder their infant son.
The physic torment this causes is so great that it actually makes the mirror shatter. In Mirrored while stuck in Voldemort's form Harry draws on the power of the horcrux.

Darkheart at first starts out as an obedient automaton whose only purpose is to keep the Digidestined on their toes under Umbradevimon's instructions. Unfortunately just as the Digidestined decides to enter the real world and leave some behind to stall him , Demon inserts a Dark Spore to him which gives him a free will and becomes a sadistic psychopath hellbent on absorbing the Digidestined just because he can do it and to become the greatest villain of all time.

Nathan Wallace in Repo! The Genetic Opera is a sweet, loving, family man. Until he puts on his helmet, at which point he becomes the merciless Repo Man. The catch is, Venom's just enhancing Peter's latent personality traits, so out-of-costume his evil side comes across as a massive dork, and he is generally an asshole to everyone rather than being a figure of terrible power.

He makes a reasonable effort to kill Sandman and is at least indifferent to whether Harry survives a pumpkin bomb to the face. In Forbidden Planet , the ancient alien civilization made a giant machine which is capable of turning thoughts into reality.
It turns out that the machine works even better with subconscious thoughts.

Most of his personalities are decent people, and he is horrified by what he has done when his original personality briefly gets control again.

The Radical has the combined powers of all other alter-egos of Captain' Trips, thus making one of the most powerful aces.

In The Zombie Knight , hyper states count as this when the reaper-servant pair isn't old enough and well enough synchronized to control them. For years after they first unlock the state, using it puts them in a state of self-hypnosis where they're driven solely by the desire to attack. In the Paradox Trilogy , this afflicts symbionts. The alien implant which grants a symbiont its powers can take control of the host's body in his sleep; while it isn't exactly sentient, it is full of bloodlust and hatred and will hurt anyone the host cares about if it can.
Myrren Kahliana in Dark Heart discovers she has one as she learns to use her magical powers. It saves her life more than once, but when it comes out, it doesn't want to go back in.

The One Ring would give them far greater powers than the ones they already have, but would simultaneously also corrupt any achievements that the Ring had made possible, no matter how benign their original intentions were. When Egil's father Skallagrim is in a fit of 'shape-strength', he is even stronger than usual but also an incontrollable madman who kills indiscriminately.
When Egil is twelve and playing at a ball-game against his father and it looks like Skallagrim is going to lose, he suddenly becomes 'shape-strong' and kills Egil's best friend Thord, his nanny Thorgerd, and very nearly Egil himself. On top of being ten times more of an aggressive and amoral personality, complete with every profanity known to man , plus a few he strings together, he's the half with chock full of the enthusiasm needed to use their powers' final setting.
In Wings of Fire , Clay thinks he has a suppressed bloodlust in him due to having attacked the other dragonets at their hatching, causing the dragons raising them to think he's a monster. It turns out to be subverted, when it's revealed that Clay's "attack" was Big Brother Instinct , helping the others hatch.
In the Dreamblood Duology , Gatherers are well trained and educated priest capable of killing people in their dreams and making them enjoy it. Reapers are Gatherers who have lost control and become addicted to the dreamblood they collect as their job. Those are capable of killing hundreds or thousands of people at the same time just to get their desired dreamblood.
In Inverse Form, a Spirit is far more powerful and also lacks any sense of restraint. Their weapon, previously referred to as an "Angel", is replaced by a darker counterpart called a "Demon King". Interestingly, it's later revealed that this is the true personality of Spirits.
Sam , courtesy of Valeriana's medallion. Philuffy in Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle has her Abyss state, which greatly increases her strength, regeneration and even mental capabilities. This is due to being implanted with tissue from the Puppeteer Parasite Yggdrasil, so when she first used this power it rendered her susceptible to its control. After Yggdrasil's death, this is no longer a risk. The state isn't inherently evil, but it does make her susceptible to control by horn flutes a type of artifact that can control Abyss.
Niki in Heroes has her amoral alter ego Jessica " ikiN " , who has sole control of her super strength until the finale, when Niki finally gets to use it for herself. She might have used it once on impulse a few episodes prior to stop an attacking policeman—this is debatable.
In the second season, it was explained that some people suffer a dissociative break to cope with the new reality of being a metahuman. When Niki conquered the Jessica persona at the conclusion of the first season finale, she manifested a third personality named Gina several weeks later. She became a member of the werewolf syndicate. Merton also got a dose of the evil life in "Everybody fang chung tonight" and "Boy who tried wolf" where he become a vampire and a werewolf.
Every Heroic Vampire protagonist or Supporting Character: Kamen Rider Kabuto 's Tsurugi Kamishiro is actually the Scorpioworm , who actually manages to overpower both Cassisworm Clipeuses when he was unable to defeat even one as Kamen Rider Sasword. In Kamen Rider Kuuga , Kuga's Ultimate Form could possibly make its user become the ultimate evil and destroy the world and has a kick capable of doing said act.
The Kamen Rider Decade version of Kuuga also possesses this form but unlike the original, he remains the evil 'Black Eyed' version his entire run in this form. Taken further when he gains Rising Ultimate form which first used as a mindcontrolled Dragon by the Big Bad. Decade gains an evil alternate form in his Violent Emotion form, which turns him into a destroyer of realities.
The second half of the series is spent just trying to contain her, and upon the realization she can't be contained, at least minimize the damage she causes. In the Farscape universe, starving Delvians start sprouting growths that paralyze any predators that touch them, turning would-be predators into prey. If that doesn't help, they'll start emitting spores, gradually paralyzing any and all lifeforms in the vicinity.
In this state, higher cognitive functions are compromised, gradually turning them more and more feral. And if the said Delvian is Zhaan who was nice only due to her Heroic Willpower in the first place Buffy the Vampire Slayer has two of these: If Angel loses his soul due to the lingering effects of a Gypsy Curse , he becomes the brilliant and formidable Angelus, widely reputed to be the most vicious vampire in history.
As Cordelia Chase once queried about Angelus's evident genius compared to his heroic alter ego's, " As a frightening mix of the two Angel is basically the most vicious vampire in history, on our side. Let them fight the good fight. Someone has to fight the war. Cuchulainn in Irish Mythology has a prime example of this kind of Unstoppable Rage.
The catch is that, while in this form, Cuchulainn may not know friend from foe. In some stories, Cuchulainn must wear a special girdle or harness to keep his body from tearing itself apart when the warp spasm takes him. This trope is a tradition in Japanese pro wrestling, where many wrestlers unveil an evil persona to face a special threat or to play mindgames with a rival, and sometimes get in storyline overcome by these personas and turn fully heel, because Evil Is Not a Toy.
In , Japanese wrestler Jushin Thunder Liger , who traditionally played the role of a face, unveiled his "Kishin Liger" heel persona, when he wrestled heel wrestler the Great Muta, who mid-match ripped Liger's mask off, revealing his "oni face". Liger's wrestling style would become notably more aggressive and heel-like in this persona. Delirious will swap out his green attire for red attire when one of his enemies has made the mistake of making him really angry, using more heelish tactics and weaponry, and even spitting poison mist in people's faces.
One Tag Line for the original Vampire: The Masquerade was "A Beast I Am, Lest A Beast I Become" — leeches had to allow themselves little atrocities like controlled blood-drinking to avoid being consumed entirely by the madness of their inner blood-hunger. However, while in the thrall of such a state, vampires can ignore wound penalties, which is a significant combat asset.
Werewolves, on the other hand, don't tend to view their own berserk frenzies as "evil" after all, Rage is a gift from Luna However, if they give in to their Rage too fully, they can enter a state called "Thrall of the Wyrm," just like a normal frenzy, except that it's inescapable, and tends to provoke rather horrific behavior typically either cannibalism, rabid dismemberment, or The Dreaming , changelings can get magic "Glamour" from normal humans two ways — the first is by inspiring them to do something incredible.
The second is to "ravish" them — make them feel despair. One example of this involved convincing a small child that the Fae in question had just murdered the Tooth Fairy. Wraiths have got their Shadow, a second personality usually existing within the wraith trying to make them them give up their struggles and descend into nonexistence or permanently hand over control of their body. Depending on the Shadow, this might take many forms, some direct and some seemingly helping the wraith.
The latter type often has ways to enhance the wraith's body when temporarily in control - better attributes, more magic powers or even items appearing only during the Shadow's catharsis. Such wraiths then always have the ability to let their Shadows handle combats too tough for them, but are generally loathe to do so because there's no telling what else the Shadow might do while in control. Kindred of the East: Being a kind of vampire, Kuei-jin must keep their amoral lower soul P'o under control, lest it takes over them in a frenzy of carnage.
It's not an easy thing to do since each Kuei-jin's P'o is out of balance, compared to the living. Some Kuei-jin Dharma try to make good use of this evil side, though. The New World of Darkness keeps much of this: The Requiem , vampires have the Beast within, which compels them to feed. The Forsaken , werewolves have two degrees of rage: Exalted has a couple instances where the characters go temporarily insane on some level: The Solar Exalted might have this particular category nailed; one of their abilities — Ascendant Battle Visage — places them into a battle-trance that physically changes them to reflect their Battle Aura , and grants them intense and brutal combative skill.
Remaining in this state too long, however, sends them into an Unstoppable Rage , at which point they become even deadlier, and fight until either they're dead or everything else that might be considered an enemy is dead. The Ghost-Blooded in the 1st edition at least could learn a certain Arcanos called Lower Soul Ascendant, which fits this trope to a T — increased physical power at the cost of embracing sociopathic behavior. And to round out White Wolf 's systems: One of their pantheon specific abilities? Highly common in Warhammer 40, , and one of the reasons Space Marines Grey Knights in particular are required to pass such rigorous and often deadly mental trials as a method of prevention.
The most obvious are the Blood Angels Chapter and its successor chapters, whose members are known to succumb to a condition called the Black Rage which increases their already Super Soldier levels of strength and vitality and turns them into frothing berserkers who seek only death, often organised into aptly-named Death Companies led by skull-helmeted Badass Preachers. The Eldar however create one of these intentionally , inducing a form of split personality disorder so that in battle they can fight with unhindered skill and brutality while retaining absolute control over themselves the rest of the time.
Then there's Chaos, which, being The Corruption and Always Chaotic Evil personified, fully embraces the added power this trope provides with no concern for the consequences, because "sanity is for the weak ". Ryu, from the Street Fighter series, has a power inside of him known as the Satsui no Hadou, or Surge of Murderous Intention, which he works to suppress and was retconned as the reason that Sagat received the scar he bears on his chest.
Akuma Gouki in the Japanese version represents someone who has fully given in to the Satsui no Hadou, and when he's not holding back, he is truly fearsome. In Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3 , Evil Ryu is actually a secret, playable character a dark-skinned, red-eyed version of Ryu with some additional attacks that were borrowed from Akuma. Ryu's Super-Powered Evil Side is a result of his being unable to control the power.
However, since the power still involves a willingness to kill and a more brutal mindset even when in control, he makes no effort to even try to learn how. This time he has gone from merely a dark-skinned, red-eyed Ryu to a borderline Person of Mass Destruction with a kanji carved on his flesh and a glowing orb where his heart should be.
Making Evil Ryu return to the surface was a plot point in the Ties that Bind tie-in anime. Oni represents this to Akuma. Oni drops the moral code of only fighting worthy opponents that Akuma held to, and will fight, and even kill, anybody and everybody he comes across. Oni is the one thing Akuma doesn't want to become. And the most terrifying thing is that Oni is miles above most other fighters, with only a handful including Cody and Gouken able to challenge him.
In Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones , the Prince occasionally transforms into an alter ego with a bladed chain - whip and the skills to wield it gruesomely, out of nowhere and who can completely regenerate whenever exposed to the Sands of Time, but at the expense of constantly deteriorating health otherwise. The Dark Prince is also a sociopath with a massive entitlement complex. Even when in the Dark Prince body, the Prince remains in control, but the Dark Prince hints that the health draining out of you is actually going into it, and that dying of this will give the Dark Prince control of the body and, incidentally, Babylon.
Soma Cruz in Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow is the reincarnation of Dracula, while Alucard is Dracula's son. The Slayer from Baldur's Gate II , a ten-foot tall spiky mass of pure murder that the protagonist can use and results from channeling the power of Bhaal, the murder god who fathered the PC. An interesting example in that the Slayer seems to have been part of the PC all along, and only surfaces when the PC loses their soul. Using it results in a reputation loss, except for scripted events that force you into it. Plus there's the whole thing about it killing you and thus ending the game if you stay in that form for too long.
Mask of the Betrayer. The Spirit-Eater curse can grant some pretty incredible powers if you feed enough Giving in to your hunger for spirits to get more power speeds up that process a lot. Dizzy from Guilty Gear has a similar problem with one of her sentient wings. She's VERY powerful and unleashing her true powers causes her to lose control to her evil wing, Necro, whose motto is "Destroy everything!
Not that the other wing, Undine, is much better. Unlike Necro, she won't attack anyone who comes within reach randomly, but she will annihilate anyone she perceives as even the slightest threat to Dizzy without even a second thought Undine is the wing that unleashes Dizzy's version of Gamma Ray Oh, and her tail has a will of its own too and often eats anything within biting reach. Rozalin from Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories manifests a Super-Powered Evil Side during the storyline when her seal is broken, which turns to be her former life as Overlord Zenon, complete with both memories and power, back from the dead.
Mao from Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice has a similar Super-Powered Evil Side that can go on a complete rampage in one of the endings. While not "evil" so much as mindless, Usalia from Disgaea 5 transforms into a berserk beast when she goes without curry for too long, as a result of Majorita's curse.
the Phoenix Hunter
The love of her parents plus the release of her own mental and emotional burdens causes the curse to devolve into her Super Mode when they take an attack from Majorita meant to kill her. Also from Disgaea 5 , Killia has an alternate form where he reverts to his past identity as the ruthless, destructive Tyrant Overlord Killidia, which he can temporarily postpone by consuming a whole meal Coming to accept his past identity without giving in to his urges is what causes Killidia to become his Super Mode. Iori Yagami in The King of Fighters is normally amoral, and judging from his winposes has quite a few screws loose.
Riot of the Blood Iori, however, has absolutely no sense of self-restraint and will attack anything on sight. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.
