If you're saying that a Dementor's Kiss turns the victim into
a Dementor, and that that's where they come from, then so am I.

I read U.S. comicbooks, and the _Martian Manhunter_ recently
had an interesting experience - he had his mind divided into
two bodies, supposedly temporarily but it was accidentally
made permanent - the problem being, one of the two bodies
didn't have a soul.  And it turned evil.  The way I just told
it, that sounds pretty cheap, but actually it was pretty subtle.
The clone was "evil" in the sense of acting selfishly,
putting his friends at risk for personal profit, violating
Martian ethics on abuse of telepathy for the same reason
(clone didn't have the M.M.'s other powers).

This is quite separate from a similar story involving M.M.,
running at the same time in the _JLA_ team comicbook.
They may or may not be doing the "thing" about soulless bodies
in _JLA_; they've split superheroes and their secret identities
into two people each, and the superhero versions are acting
out of character...

All of which may be beside the point if the people subjected
to the Dementor's kiss are presumed to be evil people anyway.
Although the Dementors don't care, either way.
