He also has no idea how to be a hero, aside doing opposite of what he was doing before (He is however GenreSavvy enough to gather several people to be his [[MoralityPet Morality Pets]] and teach him).

* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' deconstructs VillainHasAPoint. While yes Robot has made a utopia after taking over the world, and spends a majority of his time trying to convince everyone, especially Mark that he's right. And several heroes surrender to agree with him, with even Allen's allies not attacking Earth because they also agree. With finally even Mark agreeing by Issue #142... before he punches a hole through him and reducing him to a brain in a jar. Mark rightfully calls out that while Robot does have brilliant ideas, the biggest issue is his morality or lack thereof. Thus they need to be filtered and implemented by someone with a strong sense of morals and a conscience, such as the Immortal. Who, abrasive personality aside, is one of the most consistently righteous characters in the series.

* In ComicBook/TheBoys, Creator/GarthEnnis quite interestingly deconstructs his own previous and preferred protagonists. What happens when a NominalHero who is also TheUnfettered actually manages to fulfill his goal? [[spoiler: He sets a new, bigger and more destructive one, and continues to damage everything around him to fulfill these goals, until everything that made the character heroic or sympathetic is gone and the ProtagonistsJourneyToVillain is complete.]]

* Pashmina deconstructs TellMeAboutMyFather. Protagonist Pri has been raised by a single mother, an immigrant from India. Pri tries to ask her about her DisappearedDad, but her mother first changes the subject and then eventually outright tells her that the subject of her father is permanently closed. Pri still persists and she eventually finds the truth on a trip to India to visit her aunt…[[spoiler: the father she idealized was actually a {{Jerkass}} who not only broke his engagement to her mother after she got pregnant with Pri, he then married another woman and had his family pay her mother off to leave him and never speak to him again.]] After that, Pri understands why her mother didn’t want to tell her about him, and apologizes for harassing her.

* ''ComicBook/PeterCannonThunderbolt2019'' deconstructs ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', albeit respectfully, examining its influence on a subsequent generation of comics. The author appears to feel that the problem is the habits displayed by comics which repeat ''Watchmen'''s own deconstruction of superhero comics to diminishing effect.
