* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's series around the time of Marvel's Civil War event had Red Skull assassinated by Aleksander Lukin, a former Soviet general. Due to shenanigans with a weak Cosmic Cube Red Skull possessed, an attempt at GrandTheftMe became this trope instead, made all the worse for both because of their fierce ideological opposition to the other.
* Franchise/TheDCU character ComicBook/{{Firestorm|DCComics}} is in fact two people who combine to form the superhero and share one body while doing so.
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Annual #1'' reveals that the White Text Boxes that Deadpool used to converse with were actually a case of this - he and Madcap were disintegrated by Thor and their ashes piled together, so when their {{Healing Factor}}s kicked in they fused together, Deadpool was steering, but Madcap still had a say in their actions. Eventually they manage to separate again.
* As seen in the image above, Franchise/TheFlash (Barry Allen) and Kid Flash (Wally West I) accidentally merge their molecules when they run into each other in front of The Turtle's centrifugal booster, essentially sharing a body. They soon repeat this with Jay Garrick by all three merging their atoms together.

* IDW's ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' comics featured a long-thought-dead evil Psi Division judge (Thompson) who implanted his mind into the body of another judge (Myers). Myers isn't aware of Thompson's consciousness inside of him, but he experiences periodic blackouts during which time Thompson takes control and does his crooked judge thing. [[spoiler:After Dredd uncovers his secret, Thompson is taken in and given the death penalty... but not before the innocent Myers' mind is transferred into a robotic body (temporarily, one hopes)]].
* In ''ComicBook/TheMetabarons'', Steelhead shares his body with Krleza the poet. Implanting Krleza's head creates a composite personality that they name Melmoth. Melmoth refers to himself as "I/we," and combines Steelhead's warrior ethos and skills with Krleza's poetic genius and ability to love. Of course, since Steelhead is a Metabaron, this does not end well at all.
* Marvel's ComicBook/TheMightyThor seems to do this post-Ragnarok with Donald Blake, as they often converse, and seem to swap off depending on the scenario at hand.
* The first issue of ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' reveals that Peter Parker, thought to have died in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #700, is still alive, albeit trapped in his own subconsciousness ([[GrandTheftMe Doctor Octopus is in control of his body]]).
* In ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/TwoForTheDeathOfOne'', [[EvilSorcerer Satanis]] takes over Superman's body to fend off Syrene's magic attacks. He does not intend to share his vessel, but when Syrene proves to be more than he can handle, Satanis has no choice but to give Superman's soul partial control back so they can work together to fight Syrene off.
* The version of The Morrigan in ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'' is actually a composition of the default Macha, violent Badb, and gentle Anand (Gentle Annie).
* ComicBook/XMen foe Johnny Dee is a baseline human who shares his body with his conjoined mutant twin. Johnny despises his brother's existence since he had to go through life with a horrible tentacle face in his chest, but has no qualms about using his brother's powers to manipulate and kill the people around him.
