| rdfs:comment | - Seth Brundle undergoes eight specific stages in his horrific metamorphosis into Brundlefly. At first just after Seth Brundle merges with the housefly, he appears as a completely normal human. Gradually he begins to develop lesions on his body that sprout large thick insect-like hairs, as well as boil-like growths on his face. Brundle's teeth and fingernails also begin to fall out in this stage.
- When he came out of the telepod, Brundle appeared normal and had no reason to suspect that his DNA was now 50% fly. The first symptoms were an increased physical strength, enhanced reflexes and agitation, followed by an unstoppable desire for sugar and the appearance of small quantities of insect bristles on his back. As the days passed, Brundle's skin started to degenerate and he developed the abilities to cling to walls and ceilings and to spit powerful digestive enzymes to liquefy food before consuming it. Later on, his hair, ears and teeth begin to fall off. Already referring to himself as "Brundlefly", Brundle resolves that the only way to regain part of his humanity would be merging with another human being in the telepod, as the resulting entity would be 75% human and only 25% fly.

| abstract | - Seth Brundle undergoes eight specific stages in his horrific metamorphosis into Brundlefly. At first just after Seth Brundle merges with the housefly, he appears as a completely normal human. Gradually he begins to develop lesions on his body that sprout large thick insect-like hairs, as well as boil-like growths on his face. Brundle's teeth and fingernails also begin to fall out in this stage. In the third stage, Brundle's face begins to show noticeable reddish discoloration and grotesque bumps and creases. In the fourth stage, Brundle displays more prevalent facial deformities and his hair begins to fall out. A strange herniated growth appears on his side in this stage. In the fifth stage which appears only in a deleted scene, Brundle can no longer wear clothes and his body is becoming an infected-looking mess of deteriorated flesh and growths, while a fly limb emerges from the growth on his side. In the sixth stage, Brundle's head has become misshapen and almost all of his hair is gone. His body has also deteriorated even further, as he walks with a hunch and his some of his fingers appear to be partially fused. In the seventh stage, Brundle completely sheds his deteriorating human skin and becomes Brundlefly. Brundlefly maintains the bipedal stance, relative limb shape and placement, and number of eyes of a human, but possesses an fly-like head and appendages and what appears to be a vestigial fly limb sprouting from its back. In the eighth and final stage, Brundlefly merges with a telepod and has a large hunk of metal embedded in its back, with its entire lower body replaced with a mess of wires and metal.

Already referring to himself as "Brundlefly", Brundle resolves that the only way to regain part of his humanity would be merging with another human being in the telepod, as the resulting entity would be 75% human and only 25% fly. He kidnaps Veronica Quaife and forces her into the telepod. At this point, Brundlefly's skin is already horribly bloated and most of its outer skin and flesh finally falls off to reveal an insectoid figure beneath. Still lacking wings, exoskeleton and extra arms; the final stage of Brundlefly is nonetheless much more insect than man. It is a bipedal but curved being with an insect-like head, large black eyes, slender limbs with extra joints and a somewhat segmented body. Just when he was ready to teleport, Stathis Borans saves Veronica by shooting the power cable of her telepod. Infuriated, Brundlefly tries to escape his own pod, only to be transported away with parts of the damaged pod. It came out of the third pod as an even grosser being; part man, part fly and part metal scraps. The hopeless creature asks to be shot down.
