Dr Strange breaks the spell by unlocking her memories of what her father was [[AbusiveParents really like]]. This does lead to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when she rejects Dormammu's deception, leaving him unable to crossover into the human world.

* Kingpin's backstory. He was bullied because of his weight and was desperate for the approval of his criminal father. During a robbery, Kingpin's father left him to take the fall and he ended up in prison where [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook he attained the skills and ambitions to rise as a crime lord]]. The height of Fisk's ruthlessness is shown when he has his father killed and he repeats the cycle of abuse by leaving his own son to take the fall for his crimes as his father once did to him. Fisk himself expresses fear that his son will try to take revenge on him just as Fisk did to his own father.

* The events leading up to Harry Osborn taking up the Green Goblin mantle. He takes losing his father and MJ's disappearance pretty hard. And even Peter regrets that his time spent as Spider-Man means that he couldn't be there for him. He then starts hearing the voice of Green Goblin speak to him ([[RealAfterAll and it turns to be more than merely a hallucination]]) promising him that he will reveal where Norman is if he becomes his successor. Eventually, after fighting Spider-Man, Harry accuses the latter of doing something to his father, but Spider-Man reveals that the Green Goblin was Norman all along. Even the vision of the former Goblin confirms this, which only drives Harry further into insanity. Harry was more of a victim of circumstances, but it's always sad to Peter to be at odds with a friend in both civilian and superhero life.
