History PlayingWith / TranshumanTreachery

** Wendy starts to [[EvilLaugh laugh evilly]] about her new power… only for Wendell to hit her with a rolled up newspaper. “No, bad doggie! No transhuman treachery!”

* '''Invoked''':
** Wendy always wanted to be rebellious and power mad, and being bitten by a werewolf gives her a “free pass” to jump off the slippery slope without it being her fault.
** Any kind of transhumanism will damage or [[TheSoulless remove a person’s soul]] or [[DemonicPossession will put a demon]] [[EnemyWithin inside of them]], so evil is a natural consequence.

* '''Implied:''': Only villains or evil people are bitten, but they all come out of it noticeably eviler.

* '''Parodied''': Wendy starts to [[EvilLaugh laugh evilly]] about her new power… only for Wendell to hit her with a rolled up newspaper. “No, bad doggie! No transhuman treachery!”

* '''Inverted''': Wendy was a sociopathic monster before being bitten, and the addition of a wolf spirit actually mellows her out by putting her in contact with nature and emotion.

* '''Enforced''': Any kind of transhumanism will damages or [[TheSoulless removes a person’s soul]] or [[DemonicPossession puts a demon]] [[EnemyWithin inside of them]], so evil is a natural consequence.

* '''Invoked''': Wendy always wanted to be rebellious and power mad, and being bitten by a werewolf gives her a “free pass” to jump off the slippery slope without it being her fault.

** Wendy is a MisanthropeSupreme who hates humanity so much that from her point of view, the idea of becoming something other than human and then betraying humanity is like killing two birds with one stone. She not only gets vengeance on mankind for whatever they did to her, but on top of that, she gets a golden opportunity to finally NOT be a human being and instead become something else. How could she refuse such a “gift”?

* '''Justified''': Lycanthropy is TheVirus and/or carries an EnemyWithin that makes it impossible for Wendy to avoid being or doing evil.

** Wendy despite being bit by a werewolf stalwartly refuses to turn on humanity [[BullyingADragon even when they turn on her first]]. She is able to do that because it is just that. [[ExactWords a choice]].

* '''Played For Laughs''': The werewolf who bit Wendy gives her a gift bag that includes a leather jacket, makeup, black hat and [[EvilTastesGood doggie treats]] to celebrate her HeelFaceTurn.

* '''Defied''': Wendy knows everyone bitten by a werewolf turns evil, so she resolves that even if she doesn’t have a choice she will treasure and obey her friends and family because their loyalty, moral compasses and long term planning will stay true and help protect her better than whatever werewolf originally bit her.

* '''Exaggerated''': Wendy descends into full on super villainy and cackles about preying on the fat “cattle” that are her former friends and family.

* '''Deconstructed''': Lycanthropy takes away free will by making the {{cursed}} turn evil, which metaphisically kills the afflicted. They are, essentially, walking and talking corpses/coma patients and thus the friends and family don't feel conflicted about killing them; it's just a homicidal shell of their loved one.

* '''Deconstructed''': Once bitten, Wendy does some research on [[ZombieAdvocate werewolf rights]], VanHelsingHateCrimes and MugglePower which leads her to conclude she's now part of a discriminated minority. She decides to stop the hate by turning ''everyone'' into werewolves (consent being optional) which makes her a villain only by virtue of wanting to change the StatusQuo.
* '''Reconstructed''': Lycanthropy affects people two ways: it makes them acutely aware they’re now a different (better) species, and it alters their psychology. Both of these don’t forcibly turn people evil but they do put them in the mindset of Neanderthal versus Homo Sapiens: them or us.
