* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' has an issue titled "Bad Girls" where the Titans face several new teen villainesses claiming to be children of recurring Titans foes, including Joystick (supposedly Control Freak's daughter, even though Control Freak claims he never "even had a girlfriend" after interrogation), Marionette (Puppet King's), Mad Maud (Mad Mod's), Pink X (Red X's) and even Daughter Blood (Brother Blood's) until the story eventually reveals them to be Killer Moth's daughter Kitten posing as children of other villains to get her father's attention. A much later story has Robin facing Jade Wilson, daughter of his arch-nemesis Slade, with Robin's first reaction being that it's Kitten again. Alas, Jade Wilson turns out to be the ''real'' deal.

** In "Things Past", the retired villainess Cutlass is the lead suspect in a brutal bank robbery that used her signature LaserBlade weapons. She insists she didn't do it, and hires Steeljack to find out who was really responsible. For added measure, when Steeljack asks if Cutlass really ''did'' do it and is setting him up to take the fall, she angrily reveals she already checked where he was while the robbery went down. Even if she ''was'' guilty, there's no possible way she could successfully frame ''him'' for it.

** ''ComicBook/MarvelKnightsSpider-Man'' kicks off with a story in which Aunt May is kidnapped. Spider-Man immediately confronts ComicBook/NormanOsborn, who's in prison, demanding he return her. Osborn says he had nothing to do with it, ''because he's in prison.'' Of course, being imprisoned (or even dead) has not stopped Osborn on other occasions. [[spoiler: And it turns out that he really was responsible.]]
