* ''VideoGame/Oni'': The second act of the game has Konoko going rogue and becoming wanted by the TCTF. She becomes the most wanted person in the city to the point that the TCTF stop going at the aptly-named [[TheSyndicate Syndicate]] and concentrate all of their resources on her, which includes bringing out their [[EliteMooks Black Ops]] units (previously unseen prior to her rogue status). There's a [[BadassTransplant reason for that]].

* ''Fanfic/TheMorrigan'' discusses this. [[spoiler:Felsi Rollo and Chuatury Panlunch]] are (starting from the second book) high-ranking members of the Dawn of Fold, and have correspondingly large bounties placed on their heads by the Space Assembly League. However, as Guel points out, they are ranking officers in an enemy nation, ''not'' common criminals, and putting bounties on their heads like they were is far beyond the SAL's authority to do. The former's bounty being capture alive despite them both being of the same infamy is also notable, suggested by her to be because [[spoiler:her best friend's fiancee is influential in the SAL, and he put in a good word for her in a misguided attempt at impressing her]].

* ''Spider-Man'': A 1998 arc titled ''SpiderHunt'' deals with mercenaries and some randos wanting to capture Spider-Man to net the five million reward for him. Everything was orchestrated by Norman Osborn, returned to life post-''Clone Saga'': he made Peter snap and slap him in his office, then hired the Trapster to kill a random henchman named Joey Z with a substance that mimicked Spider-Man's webs, as to frame him for the killing.

* Subverted to some degree by the ''actual'' "FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted" list, which isn't so much a list of the ''worst'' offenders as the ones whose capture will earn the Bureau the most prestige and/or maximum support from its superiors in government, if apprehended. Thus, 'celebrity' villains are more likely to appear than obscure ones with a worse criminal history, as are those fugitives whom their agents are reasonably sure they can catch.

* The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk usually becomes the most wanted, especially in his beginnings when he was an uncontrollable monster that only made havoc and before he converted into a superhero by joining ComicBook/TheAvengers and other hero groups.
