** ''Giant-Size Man-Thing'' issue #3 & ''Man-Thing'' Vol. 1 issues #21-22: Klonus and Mortak are, respectively, an EvilSorcerer and [[WastelandWarlord brutal warlord]] from another dimension. [[GodhoodSeeker Seeking godhood]], the two usurp the throne of Katharta, [[TheKingslayer murdering its king]] and slaughtering its defenders and people while giving the women of the kingdom to Mortak's soldiers [[SexSlave for their vile pleasure]]. Seeking to sacrifice Prince Korrek, the two are defeated, only to return as servants of the demon Thog in an attempt to drive the entire cosmos to madness.
** ''ComicBook/MarvelComicsPresents'' Vol. 1's "Elements of Terror" storyline:
*** [[InsaneAdmiral General Selbert]] is the corrupt head of Project Glamor. In an attempt to duplicate the [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Super Soldier Serum]], or "The Juice", Selbert runs every corrupt dealing he can, financing misery and death all over to reap profits and craft Project Glamor, where a supposed Satanic {{cult}} kidnaps victims to be used as fodder for [[PlayingWithSyringes nightmarish experiments]] that see their flesh warped and the victims in unbelievable agony before they succumb to death. Frustrated with a lack of progress, Selbert has Dr. Railsback made into an experiment himself before attempting to murder any who might expose the program.
*** [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Laurence Railsback]], the [[MadScientist chief scientist]] of Project Glamor, is the man in charge of carrying out all its atrocities. Having abductees brought to him, Railsback injects them with his serum to deform their bodies, leaving them in horrendous agony before expiring. With no remorse, Railsback just continues moving on to the next victims until Selbert has him "replaced", prompting the mutated Railsback to go on a brutal spree to murder the general.

However, the concept of a spectrum multiverse was revived in the early 2000s by Warren Ellis' shortlived ''ComicBook/XMan'' run, which dealt heavily with the concept of a multiversal 'spiral' of worlds and the ability of both Nate Grey and his enemies to travel up and down it.

* TheWoobie: To put it simply, Man-Thing's life ''sucks''. He was turned into a terrifying monster, can rarely (if ever) socialize with others because if they get scared by anything he'll burn them, he constantly gets dragged into bizarre adventures when he just wants to walk around his swamp, and most of the people he's ever been close to are dead by now.
** Also getting his mind and memories back always makes things ''even worse'' for him. He either feels fear and gets incinerated by his own powers or loses his ability to properly control his teleportation powers.
