* Poor [[JourneyIntoMystery Kid]] ComicBook/{{Loki}}, you never stood a chance. First he's brought back to Asgard, a place where he's widely hated and mistrusted for things he did which he can't even remember. Sure, at least [[TheMightyThor his brother]] is on his side, but he's barely ever there. His first companion? [[SdrawkcabName Ikol]], The spirit of his old, evil self. Then he gets a friend his own age, only she seems to enjoy being as mean as possible to him. And then she leaves. And he gets a dog, too. An evil dog that spits out fire and is obsessed with killing people. And his mother blackmails him into being a spy. And his dreams are mostly nightmares of his past deeds and growing up to be horrible all over again. Then his friend comes back only to betray him and the dog turns on him and what little respect he managed to garner through hard work and doing good is tossed aside when everything comes crushing down on his 13-year-old little head. But, hey, at least Ikol won't turn on him, [[TemptingFate right?]]

* Adrianna Tomaz, aka ComicBook/{{Isis}} from ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo''. She starts as TheMessiah, determined to see the good in the world despite all of the horrible things she had endured up to that point (being kidnapped to be used as a bargaining chip by Intergang for starters). As Isis, she brings light to Kahndaq and convinces her new husband Black Adam that he doesn't have to be a violent AntiVillain anymore. Then it all goes to hell in [[TheKillingJoke One Bad Day]]. [[spoiler: Her brother is eaten alive by their TeamPet Sobek, who was really a member of a group of {{EldritchAbomination}}s sent by Intergang to destroy the Marvels. Then she gets a mouthful of plague and dies a painful death in Black Adam's arms]]. Adrianna is so broken that she renounces her idealism, tells Black Adam that he had been right all along about the world, and with her last breath asks him to "avenge us". Believe it or not, it went FromBadToWorse. [[spoiler: Being resurrected and brainwashed by an EvilSorcerer who used her to free himself from a prison and subsequently being constantly raped by said sorcerer]] sent her soaring over the DespairEventHorizon. When Black Adam eventually frees her, Adrianna's first act is to [[spoiler: [[GroinAttack castrate]] the sorcerer with her bare hands]]. Finally, she crosses the MoralEventHorizon into full-blown villainy when [[spoiler: she declares the people of Khandaq, the people who worship her as a goddess, to be [[HumansAreBastards just another bunch of bastards]], and starts turning them into dirt statues]]. Even Black Adam is [[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified by this]]!

** Little Jean Grey, who begins as the sweetest person at Xavier's. She's the Team Chick and is as cheery and perky as can be. Then, while hunting Proteus, Jean starts having these day dreams where she's slipping into the past, where she is in a rather intimate relationship with a man who is far less straight-laced than Scott. Did I mention that just a little while before this, Jean, dying of radiation, made contact with a cosmic entity called The Phoenix who just happened to share its infinite power with her? And that with that power she'd fought Galactus to a standstill and healed a cancerous galaxy? So yeah, Jean keeps having these visions until she can't escape from them. Then the masquerade is over, and Jean realizes she was being used by Mastermind and The White Queen, who have been more or less raping her mind and forcing her to do things that were scandalous to her. Except when the mask comes off, Jean loses her grip on all that infinite power that The Phoenix gave her, and it drives her ''mad''. She's filled with the hunger of a Cosmic being, and the memories of her glorious triumphs. So she breaks down and eats a star. Then the Shi'ar get upset and condemn her to death, and Jean knows there's nothing for it, so she commits suicide to avoid repeating the things she did.
*** Then, when she's revived, the love of her life is with a clone of hers, who has her own breakdown, resulting in a deal with the devil and the return of that Phoenix. Then Scott cheats on her with the very woman who caused the Dark Phoenix to come into being. Then Jean dies, and sees a future in which all her friends suffer incredible anguish and, because the Phoenix is as much her tormentor as her friend, it convinces her that the only way to fix all this is making her push her husband into the arms of the woman who caused the Dark Phoenix. Then the Shi'ar slaughtered her entire family. Then they hurt the Phoenix and it forced her back out of the grave, so she had to die AGAIN. Then the Phoenix came back and handed itself into the arms of The White Queen, and with that power Scott went nuts.
