Line 35: * In 1990 Marvel Comics presented an ongoing story of Lifeform, a hideously mutated young man, through annual issues of ''[[The Punisher]],'' ''[[Daredevil]],'' ''[[Incredible Hulk\|The Incredible Hulk]],'' and ''The [[Silver Surfer]].'' George Prufrock was exposed to an artificial virus which quickly mutated him into a man-eating monster. After several battles, Prufrock learns of a scientist named Lamar Kwiat also suffering from the virus and tells Kwiat what is in store for him if he lives. In a combination of acceptance and driven to suicide, Kwiat agrees it would be for the best if Prufrock ate him. Prufrock does so. . . along with everyone else in the hospital. * Invoked on ''Crimson''. [[Fully-Embraced Fiend\|Joe]] tells Alex that "smart vampires have something called "the five phases of the undead", and that he is on the third, Denial. Later, Alex finds the vampiress that infected him and discovers that she killed his girlfriend to provoke him, making him go into Defiance, so he pursues and kills her. After that, he finally admits that he is a vampire and starts his Acceptance. Joe even lampshades it saying that he is "not anymore in Denial". * Marvel's most well-known lycan is Jack Russell - the ''Werewolf by Night''; he claims he has been through all five stages, and seems to have settled on ~~acceptance~~Acceptance. Vampires in Marvel usually degrade into Betrayal, but ~~their~~there are exceptions. [[Private Eye\|Hannibal King]] tends to be in the Denial stage, and is a sworn enemy of other vampires. [[Morbius the Living Vampire\|Morbius]] despises himself (not surprising, seeing as his condition is mostly his fault) and by his own admission, doesn't care whether he lives or dies, and can usually be placed in Defiance. [[X-Men\|Jubilee]] was in Acceptance for the most part, doing her best to cope (usually only using her vampire powers to [[Mama Bear\|defend her adopted son Shogo]]) until she was cured by the Phoenix Force. * [[The Fantastic Four\|Ben Grimm]] was in the Depression stage for a long time, but is usually in Acceptance, though he is occasionally prone to short bouts of Depression. * [[The Incredible Hulk\|Bruce Banner]] has always - and ''will'' always - despised what he has become, but by now he has realized that the Hulk is a burden he will ''never'' permanently rid himself of, and has reluctantly reached Acceptance. Of course, there has ''always'' been the fear - among himself and others - that he might someday lose control and reach Betrayal. [[Elseworld\|There are many alternate realities]] (some of which he has witnessed) where that has indeed happened. == Fan Works ==
