* Parodied in the ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' Fan Commands. The titular character summons the Midnight Crew to help him take Mobster Kingpin down. Spades Slick tries to intimidate him with one of his playing cards, and PS responds in kind with a hand of his own... only to realize too late that he just flashed a stack of gay porn cards at them instead of the playing cards he thought he had. The Midnight Crew is so thrown off by this that they quit, ''join up'' with Mobster Kingpin, and menace them in every fan command they show up in afterwards.
* The LOL Bat from ''Webcomic/PvP'' beats up a guy when he accidentally commits theft. The courts mistake him for a budding supervillain due to his friends calling him the "Mad Hater" as a joke and place him in an insane asylum. The guy goes mad for real and takes his pre-existing grudge with LOL Bat to murderous levels.

* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'': When ghosts attack the main characters, Onni uses a spell to get them out of the tank. The spell has the side effect of merging them together into a MindHive that starts assimilating spirits of both other humans and animals that have fallen to the PlagueZombie disease, and eventually becomes the leader of a mixed troll and ghost herd entirely dedicated to going after the main characters, with the purpose of either killing or assimilating them. Onni mentions that the ghosts making up the original being were of a type he had never encountered before, which hints that the spell only has that effect on that specific type of ghost and not on the ones Onni is used to repelling.
* Vengeance Joe from the (sorta-dead) webcomic ''Webcomic/VanVonHunter'' seems to fit. He ended up becoming a minor villain to the title hero when Van didn't introduce himself properly while passing through a town and Joe became insulted, swearing vengeance on him.
* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': Gregory's actions to [[spoiler:drag Sandra to hell were the last straw for Sandra, pushing her over the edge and leading her to embrace her demonic nature]].
