The book you're thinking of is almost certianly "Kingdom Come." Although the guy who dies at the end is Captain Marvel. Shazam was the older fellow who gave those powers to Billy Batson in the first place, and died immediately. Five points to anyone who knows what Shazam stands for without looking.
As for the Red and Blue Supermen, not only did they do it, but according to a handy book on Superman that I have, they were directly inspired by exactly that crappy Silver Age story.
Anyway, there's lycanathropes coming out of the woodwork lately. I'd suggest the various ones in Gold Digger (about eight different types, IIRC), as well as the werewolves in the Hellboy comic "The Wolves of St. August."
Dunno if you'd consider The Elognating Man or Mr. Fantastic as morphs. The Hulk should definately be in there, however, as a transformer. And if you really want a fun transforming magical girl (there's loads) try Nurse Witch Komugi-Chan. I can't figure out if it's supposed to be a parody of magical girls anime or if it's just the ultimate form of it.
