  • In Black Summer, the leader of the military force trying to apprehend John Horus (a superhero who killed the President for his criminal acts) openly admits that Horus was probably right that the President's wars in the Middle East were illegal, immoral, and horribly bungled. He also acknowledges that he doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on in terms of critiquing Appeal to Force as a way to get your message across; after all, if people never needed to use blunt force to accomplish their goals, then he'd be out of a job. His only real critique of Horus comes down to the fact that Horus's method of going about it was stupid and reckless.
  • At one point, Empowered is captured by some villains who want to get the Superhomeys' attention on a crime, and think they've only captured some cosplaying stand-ins. When Emp asks why they bothered, the leader gasps: "Everybody knows that all the Superhomeys care about is bad publicity," and Emp can't honestly argue with him on that point.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • The Transformers: Combiner Wars: Starscream just loves to lace his self-serving ambitions with logical thinking. His insults to Optimus about using titles (like Prime) to put oneself above the others is detrimental to the new peace (which ol' Screamer's obviously being a hypocrite about since his whole Chosen One schtick puts him above others), which Optimus agrees with.
  • The Powerpuff Girls story "Everything Must Go" (DC issue #44) has the girls confronting Mojo Jojo over his yard sale of his destructive arsenal which their buyers are using to unwittingly cause mayhem. Mojo justifies his motives as capitalism being beneficial. But when the girls insist that Mojo can't sell dangerous weapons to people, Mojo counters "I most certainly can. This is a yard sale. Is it against the law to have a yard sale?" Cornered logically, the girls relent.
