* ''Series/Fallout2024'': When Lucy and Maximus end up in Vault 4, it quickly becomes evident that something is very, ''very'' wrong about this place. The viewer is already aware at this point that Vaults are a method to secretly run unethical experiments on the residents, and a pre-war ad for Vault 4 showed that its residents include scientists studying the effect of radiation on human DNA. The deformed mutant residents (such as the Overseer, who has one eye), the constant insistence that nobody go to floor 12, and the bizarre rituals performed by the residents who originally lived on the surface (which involve getting naked while chanting, smearing ashes on one's body, and drinking blood) only make the place creepier and more blatantly evil. Finally, the place's true, horrid colors are proven once and for all when Lucy sneaks into floor 12 and learns that it's a MadScientist lab used to perform horrible experiments, including one where a woman was impregnated with Gulpers who ate her alive immediately after being born. She's then caught... and the Overseer explains to her that those experiments were performed long ago, before the mutated test subjects rebelled and overthrew the evil scientists responsible for them. Since then, Vault 4 has been a genuinely pleasant place to live, quite possibly the closest thing to a perfect Vault in the Fallout world. Even their idea of the death penalty, which they punish Lucy with, turns out to consist of banishing them back to the surface with a few weeks' worth of supplies; since Lucy was going to return to the surface anyway, [[{{Unishment}} this "punishment" basically boils down to being given free supplies]] (though Maximus accidentally destroys those supplies in his RoaringRampageOfRevenge).



* ''Series/{{Marchlands'}}' spends four episodes playing on classic expectations of a poltergeist, but the final episode reveals that the ghost never actually tries to harm anyone--she's only [[OtherworldlyCommunicationFailure trying to expose the mysterious circumstances of her death]], and on one occasion she even saves an epileptic boy from drowning in a bathtub. This is made even clearer at the end, when even the resident AgentScully, Amy's mother, admits, "I think Alice was really a good girl all along."

* In ''ComicBook/Aquaman1991'', Minister F'Ancha seems to be up to something sinister as he tries to keep Aquaman in the city and refuses to let Aquaman see him, but it turns out he was a huge fan of his and simply knew a lot about the surface, like Arthur.
* ''ComicBook/IKillGiants'' has the Titan. Initially believed to be the most powerful and most evil of giants, it turns out that the Titan is a being of near pure benevolence that only wants to help the main character deal with the trauma of her mother's impending death.
* In the ComicBook/New52 ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy is a [[AdaptationalVillainy cruel heartless being]] created by Amazons opposed to ComicBook/WonderWoman's choice to allow the sons of the Amazons to live on the island and is seen leading Amazons to slaughter the men in question. ComicBook/DCRebirth has revealed Donna does have a past as ComicBook/WonderGirl and was not created as a blank shell and that her mind was tampered with like Diana's. Also with the reveal in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, it's implied by association that the Amazon men were similarly not real.

* ''Literature/TheShadows: [[Recap/TheShadowPulpsS50TheGreenBox The Green Box]]'': Slade Farrow and his group of shadowy ex-convicts are shown manipulating people and committing robberies throughout the book. They are actually {{Reformed Criminal}}s (minus Slade, who is a sociologist who voluntarily spent two weeks in prison without committing a crime to learn to empathize with his patients) who are stealing evidence that will expose the book's ''real'' villains while taking money as well to disguise their motives and are careful to avoid violence. Given Slade and his StealthExpert Hawkeye's role as prominent allies in many later books, and the AnachronicOrder of the reprints, this is likely to come as a LateArrivalSpoiler for many fans.
