* ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' has this in both mechanics and fluff:
** Mechanically, villains can "flip" to an alternate mode if certain conditions are met. In several cases, this represents this trope-- do enough damage to the [[MadeOfIron near indestructible]] Iron Legacy and he'll go to [[ThisCannotBe "Motivated by Desperation"]] where he backs off to heal himself, steal Kismet's artifact of power and she'll flip to "Deranged Miscreant" where she'll do massive damage until she gets it back, and if you win enough of Wager Master's games he flips to "Increased Stakes" where he [[NotSoHarmlessVillain stops fucking around]].
** In fluff, Baron Blade undergoes several of these over the course of the game as his plans for revenge blow up in his face, represented by his decks going from "high-tech mastermind" to "crazed killer" to "mutant who's so desperate for power he genetically engineered himself to the point it's killing him".

** Iago in ''Theatre/{{Othello}}'', after spending the whole play being cold and composed, goes berserk with rage when [[SpannerInTheWorks his wife blows the lid off his entire conspiracy.]]]] He ends up murdering her in a rage with none of the subtlety he usually employs, gets caught, and is so utterly incensed and shattered by the fact ''this'' is what threw off his plans he takes a vow of silence out of pure spite until his execution.
