16 Moments When Our Favorite Characters Turned Into Monsters

Marvel, Capcom

We’ve all had that day. You know the one. The one day in which something didn’t turn out right. Sheesh, it’s a day in which everything didn’t turn out right. It turned wrong. Way wrong. So wrong that you not only lost yourself, but you lost your humanity, too. Congrats, you’re a monster.

No, no, not metaphorically, and not you losing your temper like an asshole. We’re talking about actually turning into a wolfman, vampire, mutant, or some other creature. We’ve all had those days, including some of your favorite pop culture icons from film, TV, video games, cartoons, and comics. Fictional characters are just like us in that way.

So which iconic characters had a bad day or bad story arc that caused them to become more beastly and/or horror-iconic than before? Well, you’re about to find out. Here are some pop culture characters that have transformed into monsters for our additional entertainment.
