Imagine a sci-fi movie starring a huge evil black floating blob that destroyed all in its path. The superhero finally corners it and punches it in its blob face, shattering it to kingdom come.
The evil blob is gone. HOWEVER in the punching, the essence of the evil communist blob was absorbed into the fist of the superhero and slowly took him over until he himself was an evil communist blob absorbing all in its path, Borg-like.
