Nah you're spot on, that's exactly what happened in Zenith's story. I've always thought about something similar to that happening. If something like that happened in this world I think I'd end up having either the powers of a symbiote or the powers Abaddon has. The latter would be similar to symbiosis though, except with obvious dark magic and Silent Hill-esque powers. Afterall, Abaddon did "evolve" from a symbiote character of mine, which was his first incarnation. 

Did any of y'alls characters have first incarnations or anything? Or have they remained the same since their creation?
