- "The Program rigged my body so it produces a Corrosive Element specifically designed to attack an opponent's Healing Factor. In other words, the more Sabretooth's body tries to Heal itself...The Worse it gets."

Darklord Nurse Reficule (Yu-Gi-Oh) reverses the effects of cards that recover lifepoints, making them give damage instead.
Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga (InuYasha) rots any organic material it touches, countering regenerative abilities in the process; even Naraku's regeneration was unable to counter it, forcing him to amputate the affected limbs.
