* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroesIII'' reintroduces plenty of characters from [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes past games]] as undergone having plenty of CharacterDevelopment, but by far the most drastic departure in characterization in Henry Cooldown, Travis Touchdown's twin brother. In previous games, Henry -- [[BreakingTheFourthWall by his own recognition]] -- is the "cool, handsome foil" who's played as [[CulturedBadass suave and classy, even during a fight]], but in ''III''... [[KnightOfCerebus oh boy]]... [[spoiler:he's become a completely AxCrazy, almost demonic berserker, having spent the interim between ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' and ''III'' suffering [[GoMadFromTheRevalation an explosively traumatic revelation]] regarding his and Travis' SerialKiller father after watching the movie ''{{Film/Thor}}'' ([[{{Bathos}} yes, really]]). Not only did he receive an almost unrecognizable new look, his fighting style lost any elegance and since became violent and destructively unhinged, and he explicitly wants to kill Travis.]]

* Stephen Reid on ''Series/Coronation Street''. First mentioned as Audrey Roberts illegitimate son and Gail's half-brother as far back as 1988, began appearing as a recurring character from 1996 to 1997, and then for one month in December 2007. During these stints Stephen appeared as an ordinary and friendly successful man who took an interest in his family. The character would be frequently mentioned off-screen during his absences, with his family often going to see him and his niece Sarah even working for him from 2008 to 2015. But when Stephen returned as a regular in 2022 he became the show's main villain, where he attempted to steal from his mother and screw other residents around. He then turned into the show's new serial killer, bumping off three people during his stint. This is very unlike the Stephen that appeared before, who had no hint of a darker side.
