The Hyde

Item from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar

The rarest and most feared outcast type — a monstrous transformation controlled by a 'master,' turning the carrier into a living weapon who may or may not remember the carnage.

Also known as: Hyde, The Hyde, Mr. Hyde

What They Know

• A rare outcast condition involving monstrous transformation — requires a 'master' who activates and controls the Hyde through chemical and psychological means
• The Hyde is genetic — inherited through bloodlines, often dormant until deliberately triggered
• In transformation: superhuman strength, speed, razor claws, and reduced human cognition — the monster overwhelms the person
• The master-Hyde relationship raises questions of culpability — how much of the Hyde's violence is compulsion versus the host's nature
• Tyler Galpin inherited the condition from his mother — Laurel Gates activated it using nightshade compounds
• Considered so dangerous that most outcast communities view it with fear and stigma beyond other outcast types
