As a result, she makes regular trips to California to assist the X-Men.

* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': Scrooge [=McDuck=] travelled the world and made money for the thrill of it rather than for the money in ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck''. Later in life, when he stops making money and settles down in Duckburg, he becomes depressed, shutting himself away in his mansion, and it is only the return of Donald and the nephews and their subsequent foiling of a robbery that shakes Scrooge out of his funk, turning him back to a life of adventure.
* At the end of the first ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' comic, [[spoiler:Mal intentionally uses the large money cache the group had found to bribe an Alliance soldier off their backs, sending the crew right back into PerpetualPoverty and preventing himself -- and the crew -- from being able to peacefully retire]].
* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': Former villains Trickster and the Pied Piper joined their old friends the Rogues in an apparent FaceHeelTurn. After the Rogues had murdered Bart Allen (the Flash), they talked [[TheReveal revealing]] that it had been [[TheMole an attempted infiltration]] and they had both done it to get back to the adventure.
* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': Queen Iolande finds politicking absolutely dull and would rather be a full-time Green Lantern. Since she is the only remaining member of the royal family of her homeworld, that really isn't an option.
* [[{{Goth}} Moon]] from ''ComicBook/PocketGod'' takes advantage of her [[DeathIsCheap resurrection abilities]] to put herself in danger for thrills. She persuades [[TheKlutz Klak]] into doing dangerous things for her amusement when [[spoiler:the source of her resurrection powers is destroyed]].
* Each of the three ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' series ends with the kids being offered some degree of safety and stability in exchange for submitting to adult authority. They ''always'' blow it off, even when the consequences are disastrous for them.

** ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} always comes back to the X-Men, not because being an X-Man is fun, but because it's what he's been doing since he was 14 and he doesn't know ''how'' to have a happy, peaceful life. When the rest of the original team left, he stuck around, choosing to stay with a group of strangers rather than move on with the love of his life, because he believed his PowerIncontinence meant that he couldn't function in normal society. And, when he married and had a child with the ''other'' love of his life, he made a genuine attempt to leave superheroics behind him and settle down with his new family but was unable to adjust to everyday life, which ultimately ended his marriage.
* In ''ComicBook/ZodiacStarforce'', Kim misses everything about the days they fought Cimmeria's forces, but especially the monster fights. Savi is a little nostalgic about it too.
