* An inversion from GreekMyth: Tantalus wanted to test the omniscience of the gods, so he invited them to a banquet where the main course was his own son, cut up in a stew. The gods were horrified and didn't eat any, except for Demeter, who was distracted by her daughter's recent kidnapping and didn't pay attention to what she was eating. The gods then ressurected the son, giving him and ivory shoulder to replace the one Demeter had eaten, while Tantalus was sentenced to always have food and drink ''just'' out of reach for eternity.
* ThePunisher:
** PsychoForHire Barracuda recounts how an African warlord once killed his brother and had him cooked up to test his mercenaries' reactions. They all started vomiting as soon as they learned what they were eating... except Barracuda, who asked for seconds.
** A Triad leader is unimpressed with Nicky Cavella's threats (he keeps eating during the meeting), saying he has three grown sons to take over the business even if Nicky has him killed. Nicky tells him he's ''eating'' one of them, before gunning down the other two standing behind him.
