* In an Italian Disney story patterned after medieval legends, WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse fights bravely to save Queen Minnie, showing great generosity. The more generosity he has, the more of his egoism is sent to the Moon, where Black Spot (here an evil wizard) is using it to animate an ''enormous'' army of living armours. It gets to the point that Black Spot has his {{Dragon}} Pete ''create'' chances for Mickey to be heroic, thus sending to the moon even more egoism-and, after the armours are animated, making them more powerful.

* ''ComicBook/TheSimpsonsFuturamaCrossoverCrisis'':
** On Nerdanus XII, after learning of the Brain Spawn's evil plan, Fry tells them that even if they killed him, Leela, and Bender, the rest of the Planet Express crew will avenge their deaths and defeat the Brain Spawn. The latter get the idea of forcing the rest of the crew to come to Nerdanus XII they can be killed alongside Fry, Leela, and Bender. Both Amy and Hermes call out Fry for what he did.
** This is followed by Fry telling the Brain Spawn he and the rest of the Planet Express crew will find them in the comic they'll be sent to and kick their butt until they're free again. However, this gives to the Brain Spawn the idea of only sending the Planet Express crew and not themselves in the comic. That way, the crew will be stuck in the comic forever:
--->'''Farnsworth:''' Let '''me''' say it this time.\\
'''Hermes:''' Go ahead.\\
'''Farnsworth:''' Fry, you're an '''idiot'''.
** When Zoidberg is suspended above a vat of toxic waste, Homer decides to become a hero by pulling a lever in order to save the alien. However, by doing so, Zoidberg ends up into the vat anyway. [[spoiler:Fortunately, he survives, but he mutates into a human, only to go back to normal when he leaves the ''Simpsons'' comic.]]
** Bart accidentally activates the literary reality-tearing machine. Bender decides to save the day by throwing it into the New New York Public Library as there's never any people there. However, doing so results in every fictional character from every book ever written coming to life and causing even more chaos than the ''Simpsons'' characters did.

* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': The Point Man, a brash new hero, fired The Innocent Gun (a weapon containing one of the fundamental powers of the universe) at a planet-threatening menace... ''despite'' all of the experienced heroes telling him '''not''' to do so. He ended up leveling a dozen city blocks, killed hundreds of people, and tore a hole in reality... not to mention leaving the gun insert, useless against the ''real'' threat it was meant to stop.

In one instance, he successfully cures The Quizzler of his [[CriminalMindGames obsessive-compulsive habit of giving his opponents clues]] about his plans, making him into a ''much more effective'' master criminal.

** Tusken-raised Jedi A'Sharad Hett was shown in ''ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic'' to have known Anakin Skywalker personally, and he learned of his genocide of his people but [[BystanderSyndrome refused to report him]] believing that he needed to confront his inner darkness himself. After Anakin [[FallenHero fell and became Darth Vader]], Hett blamed himself for not intervening. Disillusioned, Hett returned to Tatooine and became a Tusken Raider warlord only to have his right arm severed by Obi-Wan Kenobi protecting Luke's homestead. Hett was exiled from Tatooine by Kenobi, who hoped he would see the error of his ways and return to the Light. [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels He did the exact opposite]] and in ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy'' went on to become a new Sith Emperor who created the One Sith, and started a new war that resulted in the deaths of billions.

* In the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' strip ''Liberation of the Daleks'', the Dalek theme park powered by psychic energy from actual Kaled mutants was probably always going to go wrong at some point. But it ''specifically'' goes wrong because the Doctor materialises in one of the simulations and, while trying to figure out what's going on, outright tells the Daleks they aren't real. And then leaves the TARDIS behind, which [[spoiler: they can use to enter the real world]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' #64 ("Monkey Business," DC run), Mojo Jojo goes straight and opens his own restaurant which is a big hit with everyone except the girls, who thinks he's up to something. After being proven wrong twice, the girls join the folks for some of Mojo's chili, but Blossom doesn't partake as she still thinks something is fishy. When she causes a panic after mistaking everyone farting for a gas leak, Mojo gives up his restaurant and goes back to crime. The narrator even chastises the girls on the end panel.
