What is a The Corrpution?

The Corruption Enemies are different from the average Monsters of the story in that they're basically born out of people's negative emotions, like a poltergeist. They can be a special case of the Body Horror and can be eaither a Cosmic Or Humanoid Abomination but can also be a part of the victims Soul that has been separated from them, and may not have a physical body at all. This is convenient for the right villain, since it can be an unlimited resource; the Victim always seems loaded with problems and angst for The Corruption to feed on. It can also have a self-propagating "zombie" effect.

The trouble for the heroes is these are difficult to get rid of, especially if this Corruption still display an awareness of the world (usually, as a ruse of the Enigmatic Minion). If an established character becomes one of The Corruption, they may act as if they had undergone a Face Heel Turn.

The Messiah's power is usually to combat The Corruption, or even to turn them back into normal humans. The Anti-Hero or Ineffectual Loner usually insists the victims are too far gone and should be offed before more people get hurt. Occasionally, a victim who is Fighting From The Inside can resist The corruption's control.
