Cut Omnicidal Maniac - the examples are Talita and Aban from the two MAX series, which have their own Works pages


* OmnicidalManiac:
** Talita was trapped between [[FateWorseThanDeath life and death]] in [[TheNothingAfterDeath a void of blackness]] for 800 years. She went completely mad and came to love the Void. After she was resurrected, she feared her commitment to the Void: "I feel... a strength coursing through me... yes... yes... I worried I might lose faith as the pain left me. I feel joy, strength, lust all raging through me... ALL PALE BEFORE THE EMPTINESS". Before she ends the world, she wants to taste life followed by [[CessationOfExistence nothing]].
** Aban is a [[{{Plaguemaster}} plague-carrying]], immortal young boy who wants to [[WhoWantsToLiveForever die]] but can't, so in his frustration, he wants to [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum end the world]], hoping that this will kill him. He refers to himself as a [[StrawNihilist true nihilist]] and [[ForTheEvulz enjoys killing]].

* AppendageAssimilation: Terror assimilates all sorts of body parts. It's a necessity, since his body and any biomass he assimilates into it rapidly rot. In the "League of Losers" storyline, he even gets Arana's arm after she dies.

* AnArmAndALeg: Many, ''many'' people lose limbs during the series. Terror loses and replaces arms and legs on a regular basis, which generally means his opponents' minions are ''also'' going to lose lots of arms and legs.



* TheAssimilator: The Terror is a living corpse whose body is continually rotting; he takes other people's body parts to rebuild himself, although these continue to decay. He gains their memories, skills, and sometimes even feelings; he has even been seen to give himself wings or a prehensile tail. He can even gain superpowers from the parts, although they have to be the parts that contain the powers (for example, he couldn't steal Cyclops' finger and gain optic blasts).

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, it stars the antihero Terror, an eternal entity that survives in a ever-changing patchwork body of stolen limbs and organs. By taking part of someone's body, Terror can tap into their skills - and if they happen to be superhuman, he may be able to manifest their powers as well.

* PullingThemselvesTogether: Terror has the ability to replace parts of his body with those of others, including animals. Good thing too, since his body is constantly rotting away. He can secrete a substance akin to an extremely fast-working digestive enzyme from his skin, which makes tearing off body parts even from still-living people easy. An added perk is that he gains access to memories and skills related to the body parts he assimilates: an eye allows him to see what the original person saw, an arm from an artist can help him draw accurate sketches, and so on.



* SuperheroHorror: ''ComicBook/TerrorInc'' was a dark series set in the Marvel Universe following an immortal assassin who replaced body parts by tearing them off of other people.
