1	WARNING: Moment sub-pages are meant to be spoilers off! Read at your own risk!
2	----
3	* Everything about Edward Hyde, as in most adaptations of the story. Utterly remorseless for his crimes and always willing to tease, his unpredictability is just as dangerous as his weapon of choice. What makes it worse is that aside from the maniacal grin, being left-handed, and no need to wear glasses, there's no physical difference between him and Jekyll.
4	* In the first chapter, Jekyll mistakenly pegs Utterson as the murderer. The chapter closes on Utterson appearing behind him, ready to strike.
5	* Chapter 2 has Hyde kill Molly on-panel, reveal that he killed all the people whose deaths they were investigating, the drug Jekyll injected to ward him off was an amplified version of the formula used to make him, and he intends to take over Jekyll's body permanently. Hyde then lets Jekyll write a letter to Utterson explaining the situation, wherein he begs him to not think of him as Henry, as it will only be Hyde. It ends on [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/35 this note]], taken directly from the book, of shots of Hyde looking blankly ahead after murdering someone.
6	-->'''Jekyll:''' This then, is the last time, short of a miracle, that Henry Jekyll can think his own thoughts or see his own face in the glass.
7	* Chapter 4 shows Mina the maid's encounter with Hyde. She thinks he's Jekyll and goes to get his coat, which is soaked with blood. Hyde threatens to kill her if she tells.
8	* Al's mother was killed when servants tried to take a ring that proved their ties to the Utterson name. The side-story Overtime reveals that Lord Utterson hired them to kill the family.
9	* Chapter 9 adds onto the letter Jekyll wrote, with Utterson desperately asking Hyde if Henry's still in there somewhere and getting no concrete answer.
10	-->'''Jekyll:''' If you see me, don't approach me thinking it's... well, me. Because all that will be left is the monster possessing my corpse.
11	* Chapter 10 has Hyde pretend to be Jekyll. When the ruse is discovered he taunts Utterson about how everything that happened was his fault for betraying Jekyll and how, by his willingness to cover for and protect him, he's Hyde's greatest ally. He then cheerily shows Al out in the guise of Jekyll, deeply unnerving him.
12	* Hyde injected Lanyon with the serum in the hopes of making him more interesting. Instead he got a sociopath who raises dead bodies.
13	* Lanyon's evil side doesn't seem to feel things ''at all'', and his good side is happy to defer to him.
14	** We know that evil sides have a manipulative side, as demonstrated by both of the ones we see- but while Hyde plays on Henry's anger and fear of guilt, Lanyon preys of Randall's fear of death and just...fear in general. He used his sympathy towards him, who felt unheard, in order to make him comply- but we don't know just how much Randall is ''actually'' okay with what Lanyon is doing and how much it's just cowardice. When Randall asks Lanyon later on in the comic about his plan, he does so like he fears that if Lanyon thinks his presence could pose a danger he's going to try and trap/torture him the way Hyde did to Jekyll. We still don't know how Lanyon would react if Randall ''did'' try to fight back! (This is lampshaded by Hyde; who mocks Randall's evident vulnerability towards his alter-ego, being that it's this submissive demeanor the thing that allows them to "Get along" the way that Hyde and Jekyll can't.)
15	* Lanyon is absolutely terrifying. The opposite of Edward Hyde but equally if not more frightening because of it. His matter-of-factly tone and way of justifying his actions with logic is hauntingly sensible. The only times he demonstrates any signs of emotion at all are immediately culled by some other creepy thing he does, or are evidently a reflection of Randall's own feelings...And it's still delivered coolly.
16	* The entire Confrontation chapter, as Hyde confronts Jekyll with the fact that they're the same body and same mind, and so it was ''Jekyll'' who killed all those people, not Hyde. It ends with him [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/219 hanging]] Jekyll in their mind.
17	-->'''Hyde:''' Aaaand what do we do with murderers? Murderers... '''''HANG!'''''
18	* Hyde's control over Jekyll is represented by strings cutting into and wrapping around his body, preventing him from moving at all.
19	* In chapter 17, Hyde happily reminisces about his first kill, where he brutally murdered a woman for being in his way.
20	* Chapter 17 has [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/364/ this]] [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/365/ moment]] when Al walks in on Hyde just after he brutally killed and dismembered someone, with Hyde cheerily asking if anything's wrong. He follows it up by attempting to seduce Al and talking about how he can satisfy him, all while his victim lays dead beneath their feet.
21	* Lanyon resurrected Molly and other dead people without their memories, making them [[RevenantZombie revenant zombies]] who are completely loyal to him. Chapter 25 reveals Jekyll's [=HJ7=] drug is responsible.
22	* One panel in chapter 25 is an animated gif of Jekyll shuddering in horror from what he's just heard. Making it more effective, and startling, is that it's the only animated page in the story up to that point.
23	* As Lanyon makes an extended metaphor about peppered moths and social Darwinism, [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/542 this page]] shows someone's head cracking open and moths flying out to emphasize the comparison.
24	* As Jekyll refuses Lanyon's demands, he reveals that he laced Jekyll's food with an addictive drug to keep him compliant, he knows Hyde's watching, and if he tries to intervene he'll be severely punished. An enraged Hyde ''swears'' to kill him someday.
25	* In chapter 26, Hyde takes control when Jekyll is talking to Randall and threatens to dismember him.
26	* Chapter 28 opens with Jekyll having a [[http://thesearchforhenryjekyll.thecomicseries.com/comics/617 horrible nightmare]] of a shadowy... ''thing'' with glowing eyes taunting him over something he's forgotten. Much later, it's revealed to be a memory of Henry himself choking his father to death.
27	* The ending of Chapter 29. Apparently it's possible for his zombified assistants to remember things. How does Lanyon react? He's visibly surprised at first (the most emotion he shows) but then he ''shoots'' him point blank, and gets back to work.
28	-->'''Lanyon:''' Just another broken doll that needed to be disposed of.
