Hello, I'm recommending this image for Viral Transformation. The only way I see Venom being a poor fit is that he prefers to have only one host at a time.

I've fixed the tag.

That image really looks like the one on The Corruption.

That said, does that fit here or The Corruption better?

I think the suggestion is actually a better picture for The Corruption than the current...as for Viral Transformation, if we can find a pic of someone being bitten by a zombie and turning, that would work better.

This was a heck of a hard search, trawled through zombie bites to vampire siring until I found this pic from the Vampire The Masquerade card game about ghouling a human.

Edit: My mistake, it's from the Werewolf The Apocalypse card game, but it's depicting a vampire and ghoul from the same 'verse's sister game Vampire the Masquerade.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about that suggestion.

It's a good take on the meme, at least. And it does illustrate. On the bad side, it kind of relies on prior knowledge (about the meme and zombies) that it's a Russian Reversal of sorts. Or at least, that's what I think it shows.

I'm gonna give this another day or two for discussion about [up][up]...it works well enough for me.

[up] The zombie bit a chunk out of Chuck Norris and, rather than turning Norris into a zombie, was turned into a Chuck Norris clone...of sorts.

Would it work better with a caption that mentions that? Something like,

"A zombie biting Chuck Norris doesn't turn him into a zombie; the zombie turns into him."

Or something better phrased?

Aye, this one will need a caption to work.

Maybe combining [up][up][up] and [up][up]

"A zombie bite doesn't turn Chuck Norris into a zombie; it turns the zombie manly."

[up] My only objection to that overall setup is that it feels over-wordy. If it gets consensus I'm not gonna object.

@18 does work for me. @17 looks like a meme caption and thus gets my disapproval.

Then you probably don't like the image at all.
