Top 10 Split Personality Movie Characters

Professor Klump is a portly, jolly fellow with more than enough smarts and more than enough chins. Outside the classroom, he’s conducting research into a serum that’ll help obese people lose the poundage pronto, and he’s using himself as the guinea pig. The result of this test is slimmed-down alter-ego Buddy Love, who’s way smoother and way smaller, but also a way bigger jerk. Y’can’t have it all.

Haunted by his past, this U.S. marshal visits an isolated loony-bin to find answers and an escaped patient. But nothing in his world makes sense, nothing adds up, and everyone’s hiding something.

Eve White’s meek; Eve Black’s mischievous, and Jane’s, well, pretty normal. But all three live inside the same woman.

However, with help from a faithful doctor, Eve uncovers the childhood trauma that caused her personality to split into pieces.

Charlie’s a state trooper, but the biggest doormat you ever did see. Abused by his wife, his friends and pretty much anyone he meets, he eventually can’t take it anymore and invents a new personality.

But, as her doctor discovers, Sybil’s struggles didn’t begin there: her disorder stemmed from horrible abuse suffered at her mother’s hands.

This is an experiment gone very wrong. After being exposed to gamma-radiation, the mild-mannered Dr. Banner transforms into the giant green colossus known as The Incredible Hulk, a monster he tries – but usually fails – to control.

Once a hobbit like any other, Sméagol found the magic ring and immediately fell under its spell, lying and murdering to do its bidding. After being bewitched for years, he devolved into something far less human – both physically and mentally.
