Charby the Vampirate Belongs to
When Charby was given the Staff of Oswego, he was warned to use it wisely, lest he be turned into something terrible. It pretty much turns him into a lust crazed demon with steel knives poking out his fingers. Or as one of his friends called it, super-jerk mode.

In Splicers, Batman is investigating the Chimera Corporation, which uses cutting edge genetics technology to meld a person's dna with an animal's. When the founder catches Batman in his lab, he pumps Batman full of vampire bat DNA, causing him to lose control and attack his mentor.

In The Ultimate Enemy, Danny Phantom is introduced to his own evil future self. Dan Phantom (as his fans lovingly call him) is a seriously crazed, uber-powerful ghost, who sacrificed (re; KILLED in a most unspeakable fashion) his own human half.

In The Dark Half (by our own dear ) Leonardo is introduced to his own dark side, Yin, who attacks the Leo's family and friends.

And last but not least is BAD Cat Girl, that catty little voice in the back of my head who makes fun of people's hairdos.

We all have our own dark sides. Our "shadows", "Hydes", etc. My dad called it the Shadow Man.

In the infamous Robert Louis Stevenson book (yes, the dude who wrote Treasure Island), This duality of the human nature is explored. Today, since we all know the story even before we've read the book or seen the movie, it comes to no great surprise that the good Dr. Jekyll is also the loathable Mr. Hyde. That rotten little man who trampled a young girl, beat a man to death with his own cane, and who knows what else. Dr. Jekkyll and Mr. Hyde forced an entire generation to look inside themselves. In it's own twisted way, it forced us to realize that we all hold the capacity for evil.

And it doesn't take a chemical serum, mind control, evil experiments, ghosts, tentacle monsters, enchanted staffs, or a Voltaire song to bring that inner monster forth. It is a decision. Somewhere along the line, we make a choice, we decide to let out our own shadow, our personal demons to lead.

I've always been interested in my own dark side. I've entertained it with stories of murder, torture, cruelty, insanity and violence. I understand it now. I accept it. I know that it is within me, a part of me, but I don't let it run me, and I am not afraid of it.
My friends, Dr. Jekyll created his serum because he was terrified of his own evil. He wished for a way to cleanse the human spirit of it's own inner monster. Well, we all know what that did. He let it out, let it grow stronger and stronger until it dominated him. For those of you who haven't read the book, I won't tell you how it ends... but it's not a happy ending.

We're our own worst enemies... Goodnight...
