"In their human form, Hydes are artists by nature, but they are vindictive as well. When Hydes are unlocked, they can be volatile and exhibit violent and aggressive behavior. It is frowned upon to unlock a Hyde, as a Hyde's agency and autonomy are taken away. Because of the unpredictable and sometimes violent nature of unlocked Hydes, they have been banned from Nevermore Academy for three decades." |
Hydes are a mutated species of Outcasts that appear in the Netflix series Wednesday.
History[]
They were banned from Nevermore Academy in 1993[1], thirty years before the events of the first season, due to unspecified reasons.[2]
Hydes lay dormant inside certain people until they are "unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis." They form strong bonds with their liberators, whom they see as their masters.
Description[]
Hydes are seen as one of the most dangerous and powerful outcasts. They are tall, have sharp teeth and long, lethal claws that can tear through flesh easily.
Personality[]
Aggression toward all people and hunting outcasts and people. Some hydes leave their victims ripped to pieces and scattered across an area.
Diet[]
Hydes are mostly carnivorous in their hyde form.
Powers and Weaknesses[]
Powers[]
- Transformation: Once unlocked by their masters, Hydes gain the ability to transform into a monster with long claws, fanged teeth, and immense strength, mobility, and resilience. Once transformed, all Hydes are similar in appearance, as shown when Wednesday Addams looks them up in Nathaniel Faulkner's diary. Inside the diary, the description and picture of a Hyde from many years ago have a monster form that is eerily similar to the form that Tyler Galpin takes on when he transforms.
- Superhuman Strength: Once a hyde is transformed, they can act with vastly superior degrees of strength. In fact, it was shown by Tyler that a hyde can outmatch a werewolf, though both Tyler and Enid were still teenagers and likely weren't in their prime of strength.
- Superhuman Speed: Once a hyde is transformed, they are capable of traveling at incredible speeds, being perceived as a blur of motion in the eyes of humans.
- Superhuman Durability: Once a hyde is transformed, they can withstand various kinds of damage. This was shown during Tyler's battle with Enid, in which Tyler was able to withstand repeated attacks from Enid and even withstand a bullet shot.
- Superhuman Stamina: Once a hyde is transformed, they can act and move for extended periods of time with little regard for exhaustion or lack of energy. This is shown by Tyler being capable of constantly moving while transformed, without needing to restore his energy over time.
Weaknesses[]
- Mind Control: The first person to unlock a Hyde's true nature would make that hyde their slave.
