* {{Skullgirls}} lore indicates this has happened twice to the same clandestine organization: The Anti-Skullgirl Labs. Secretly sponsored by the King of the Canopy Kingdom. The Labs conducted research in order to understand the [[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]] and develop weapons to destroy the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Skullgirl]] it periodically creates. Unfortunately, they weren't exactly known for the humane treatment of their test subjects.
** After his wife became a Skullgirl and was subsequently killed, the King had a change of heart and decommissioned the Labs, but disappeared under mysterious circumstances some time later. Several members of the ASG Labs took advantage of this and moved to restart the experiments, this time without official supervision and with even shadier laboratory practices.
** Finally, one sect, Lab Zero, broke off entirely. The members of Lab Zero operate in complete secrecy, even from the other rogue Labs. Their methods are also [[PlayingWithSyringes much]], [[MalevolentMutilation much]] [[BodyHorror more]] [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable heinous]] than the others.
** However, it's implied through ingame dialogue that the restarted Labs may have reformed to be more ethical after Princess Parasoul came into power, making the situation an at least partially subverted example of the trope.
