Hi there,
As some may know, and to their possible bemusement as well, I am something of a enthusiast for the exploration of that classical dichotomy found in Jekyll and Hyde. In that respect, I was browsing recently when I hit upon a remarkably singular interpretation of this classic, if somewhat obscure.
As in many of my posts, this will require a little context
...
Though I'm unsure of the precise dates, it seems that DC comics undertook a mini-series as part of a wider narrative, back in 2010/2011. Titled
Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance, it depicts a schism in the DC universe which charts an amazon invasion.
In the British respect, we find a particular heroine by the name of Bobbie Stephenson, and with a very particular power, as you may guess. In this, on occasion, she can undergo a transformation into a hulking, grey, bald and seemingly male alter-ego (at least from media I have seen) named ironically as "Ms. Hyde".
The characters obscure as they are, their transformation is more so, though what there is to me is below for the curious.

An interesting find, more so for the seeming inclusion of a gender bender incarnation of the theme in a fairly mainstream narrative. From what I can find, the character was not developed beyond this point, which is perhaps a pity. Still, an unusual gem in this universe to find
