** Actually, Aunt May being endangered wasn't really a factor in the fight. It didn't do anything except surprise Doc Ock for a moment and lead to a very funny ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' joke. Spidey came into the fight late as Doc Ock was already going after Caryle for stealing his tech and trying to kill him.
*** To Doc's credit, he ''DID'' stop a building from collapsing just long enough to allow the innocent civilians to escape at Spidey's prompting. That did nothing to ''STOP'' him from letting the building collapse on Spidey, noting "you are not a civilian".
** Doc Ock also wasn't happy about the inadvertent team-up, later noting (as he told Spidey the weakness in Caryle's armor), "I am not helping you -- I am hurting him." World of difference.
** It wasn't even the first time Spidey and Ock teamed up, since they also set aside their differences when Hammerhead kidnapped Aunt May.

* In the comic book series ''ElfQuest'', when two elf tribes -- the Wolfriders and the newly-introduced Go-Backs -- join forces to wage war against the trolls of King Guttlekraw, the elves form a grudging alliance with the trolls formerly led by the late King Greymung, who have been enslaved by Guttlekraw, even though Greymung's trolls have been the hated enemies of the Wolfriders ever since betraying them back at the start of the storyline. The Go-Backs, meanwhile, would never have thought of teaming up with trolls of any kind, period... But it's probably only because of this uneasy alliance that Guttlekraw's trolls are defeated.
* In the 1970s, two issues of ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' featured Franchise/{{Batman}} teaming up with SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker to solve a crime. In #111, they worked together to solve the mass murder of an upstanding local family, which someone had sloppily tried to pin on the Joker. In the end, it turned out that [[spoiler:the whole thing was an elaborate plot between the Joker and the killer to lure Batman into a {{Deathtrap}}]]. In #191, the Penguin is murdered and it looks like the Joker did it. When Batman catches up to him, he proves that he couldn't have done it. It is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:the whole thing was a FakingTheDead by the Penguin, who used it to kidnap a local cardinal]].
* In the Marvel ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformers Transformers]]'' comic, Ratchet and Megatron teamed in an early episode to bring down Shockwave. Megatron, naturally enough, tried to betray Ratchet, but Ratchet was prepared.
** Several years later, during the "Space Pirates!" story in the UK comic, the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to repel the Quintessons, who are trying to conquer Cybertron before Quintessa explodes. Ultra Magnus and Soundwave even get a BackToBackBadasses moment. At the end, Soundwave briefly considers the idea of a lasting peace, but realizes the two factions have come too far to ever resolve their differences.
*** The Autobots and Decepticons were forced to team up ''again'' against the Cybertronian Empire, a faction of hyperevolved Decepticons who had abandoned Cybertron eons ago to create a star-spanning empire of their own. They consider the Autobots and the original Decepticons to be disgusting savages, and eventually returned to destroy their "lesser" brethren.

[[SarcasmMode To everyone's great surprise]], {{Darkseid}} [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrays his newfound allies]], only to be stopped by Batman's BetrayalInsurance.
** This was hardly the first or the last time that {{Darkseid}} pulled one of these. In ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', for example, he ended up being instrumental in finally defeating the Anti-Monitor (but making it very clear he was only doing it not to help the heroes or anything, but rather to ensure that the Anti-Monitor wouldn't destroy everything).
* Circumstances have forced [[TheMightyThor Thor]] to team up with members of his RoguesGallery, including [[MagnificentBastard Loki]], [[MoreExpendableThanYou the Executioner]], and [[DatingCatwoman the Enchantress]].
* In the ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' comic revival, Steelbeak teams up with Darkwing to stop [[BiggerBad F.O.W.L. High Command's]] plan to unleash [[EldritchAbomination Duckthulu]], because EvenEvilHasStandards.
* [[spoiler:After the death of the Human Torch]], DoctorDoom and [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Reed Richards]] have ''very'' reluctantly agreed to work together in the Future Foundation. This arrangement was brokered by Reed's genius daughter Valeria who convinced Reed that the FF needed someone as ruthlessly pragmatic as Doom if they were going to save the world. She got Doom on board by [[spoiler:promising to help undo the brain damage the Intelligensia inflicted on him in FallOfTheHulks]].
* Franchise/{{Superman}} and LexLuthor are in conflict almost all the time, and loathe each other with a vengeance, but they share a near-fanatical adoration for and protectiveness of their home city of Metropolis. This has caused them to put aside their differences, abandon their other objectives, and team up to take down villains bent on destroying their beloved city more than once.
* In the final issue of PaulCornell's ''Knight And Squire'', ''everyone'' in the British super-community teams up to take down SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker. The heroes, the anti-heroes, the {{Harmless Villain}}s and the killers like Death Dinosaur. He's just that much of a threat.
* In ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'', the Freedom Fighters team up with their enemies against a common threat so often that Sonic's started {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing it. At different points throughout the series, they've teamed up with [[BigBad Robotnik/Eggman]], [[TheStarscream Snively]], their [[EvilTwin Suppression Squad]] counterparts, the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Destructix]], the [[MachineWorship Dark Legion]], [[EvilSorcerer Ixis Naugus]], and Dr. Finitevus. They usually end up getting backstabbed in these situations, to the point that Sonic's started lampshading ''that'' too.
** More recently, we've had a non-Freedom Fighters examples, as the AntiHero Babylon Rogues teamed up with their rivals the Battle Bird Armada to find their ancestral homeland of Babylon Gardens -- ironically, this puts them in opposition to the Freedom Fighters, as the entrance to the Gardens is apparently in their home of New Mobotropolis.
* Happens on a massive scale in the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' comic book arc "The War for the Uncharted Territories", when essentially all the factions in the Uncharted Territories have to put aside their rivalries and join forces in order to stand the slightest chance of defending against conquest by the Kkore, which up until then has been defeating everyone in CurbStompBattle[=s=].
* One story-arc in the ''CaptainAmerica'' comic has Cap teaming up with the ''Red Skull'' of all people in order to stop a resurrected Hitler from taking control of the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Cosmic Cube]]. Incidentally, this would lead Cap to [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished being briefly exiled from the United States]], since the U.S. government assumed he had turned his back on America by aligning with the Skull.
* In an ''Infinities'' (a what-if brand) issue of Franchise/StarWars, specifically the one taking place during the Mortis Arc of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', of all people, Yoda and ''Darth Sidious'' (the latter presumably having revealed his Sith identity to Yoda) had to forge a temporary alliance to stop Anakin Skywalker, who became exceptionally powerful via the Dark Side thanks to the Son. The allegiance did them no good, though, as Anakin effortlessly killed them.
** Particularly in the [[WesternAnimation/{{X-Men}} 90s cartoon]], most notably in a season-long storyline in which he and Professor Xavier are stranded together in the [[LostWorld Savage Land]].
** The brilliant ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' graphic novel ''God Loves, Man Kills'' was the basis for ''X2'', and thus follows the same plot except that, since the comics have been going on long enough that they didn't feel the need to hammer home his villainy, Magneto doesn't really have a SnapBack the way he does in the movie.
** And in ''God Loves, Man Kills II'', released to tie in with ''X2'', the X-Men find themselves teaming up with the villain from the original.
** Magneto has worked with the X-Men in multiple story lines, even becoming the leader in one story arc. This is because, for most writers, Magneto isn't as much a bad guy as he is a WellIntentionedExtremist.
*** It wasn't just for one arc. In the late 1980s, due to Charles Xavier being absent, a reformed Magneto took over Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters for something like four years (in real world time). If you were reading X-Men and NewMutants back then, Magneto as the head of the Xavier school felt like a new status quo.
* Franchise/{{Spider-Man}}'s enemies Comicbook/{{Venom}} and Carnage hate each other more than they hate him. Any time Carnage pops up, Venom will call a truce with Spider-Man to go wail on Carnage. This most famously occurred in the storyline MaximumCarnage, which was adapted into a Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo game.
** In the oddly-named "Venom vs Carnage" comic, after Carnage produces a new symbiote, he and Venom decide that, in the end, they hate the ''new'' symbiote even more than they hate each other (it's implied in Carnage's case that this is part of symbiote biology). The result? Their only teamup. Venom calls it "Temporary. VERY temporary."
* Spidey and ''Doc Ock'' ended up working together at one point, in order to deal with a new villain (Carlyle) who used Ock's arm technology to build a bank-robbing powersuit. While simply being robbed wouldn't have been enough to put Ock on the side of his mortal enemy, there was also the fact that Carlyle was threatening Ock's former fiancée, known to Spider-Man fans as "Aunt May".
** Actually, Aunt May being endangered wasn't really a factor in the fight. It didn't do anything except surprise Doc Ock for a moment and lead to a very funny ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' joke. Spidey came into the fight late as Doc Ock was already going after Caryle for stealing his tech and trying to kill him.
*** To Doc's credit, he ''DID'' stop a building from collapsing just long enough to allow the innocent civilians to escape at Spidey's prompting. That did nothing to ''STOP'' him from letting the building collapse on Spidey, noting "you are not a civilian".
** Doc Ock also wasn't happy about the inadvertent team-up, later noting (as he told Spidey the weakness in Caryle's armor), "I am not helping you -- I am hurting him." World of difference.
** It wasn't even the first time Spidey and Ock teamed up, since they also set aside their differences when Hammerhead kidnapped Aunt May. Spider-Man wanted to rescue Aunt May because she was one of his loved ones (along with the fact that he was ''[[TheHero Spider-Man]]'' after all), while Doc Ock wanted to marry May so he could gain access to a nuclear power plant she had inherited.
* In Marvel's ''SecretInvasion'' mega-event, [[spoiler: the villain mastermind TheHood sends his forces into battle to save the Earth from the Skrulls]].
** He has his own reasons for this: [[spoiler:it helps NormanOsborn in his ploy to take over SHIELD and instigate the Comicbook/DarkReign]].
*** Actually, it's implied that [[spoiler:The Hood had no idea of Osborn's plan, until he called together the Cabal for the first time. The Hood would have let the assembled forces fight the Skrulls, if not for the simple fact that if the Skrulls destroy the Earth, ''they destroy his business''.]]
* Cassie and Film/{{Ch|ildsPlay}}ucky in ''Comicbook/HackSlash Vs. Chucky''.
* This was the driving force behind ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'''s ending in both the original comic and film adaptation.
** Though the enemy in each was completely different.
* In the comic book series ''ElfQuest'', when two elf tribes -- the Wolfriders and the newly-introduced Go-Backs -- join forces to wage war against the trolls of King Guttlekraw, the elves form a grudging alliance with the trolls formerly led by the late King Greymung, who have been enslaved by Guttlekraw, even though Greymung's trolls have been the hated enemies of the Wolfriders ever since betraying them back at the start of the storyline. The Go-Backs, meanwhile, would never have thought of teaming up with trolls of any kind, period... But it's probably only because of this uneasy alliance that Guttlekraw's trolls are defeated.
* In the 1970s, two issues of ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' featured Franchise/{{Batman}} teaming up with SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker to solve a crime. In #111, they worked together to solve the mass murder of an upstanding local family, which someone had sloppily tried to pin on the Joker. In the end, it turned out that [[spoiler:the whole thing was an elaborate plot between the Joker and the killer to lure Batman into a {{Deathtrap}}]]. In #191, the Penguin is murdered and it looks like the Joker did it. When Batman catches up to him, he proves that he couldn't have done it. It is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:the whole thing was a FakingTheDead by the Penguin, who used it to kidnap a local cardinal]].
* In the Marvel ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformers Transformers]]'' comic, Ratchet and Megatron teamed in an early episode to bring down Shockwave. Megatron, naturally enough, tried to betray Ratchet, but Ratchet was prepared.
** Several years later, during the "Space Pirates!" story in the UK comic, the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to repel the Quintessons, who are trying to conquer Cybertron before Quintessa explodes. Ultra Magnus and Soundwave even get a BackToBackBadasses moment. At the end, Soundwave briefly considers the idea of a lasting peace, but realizes the two factions have come too far to ever resolve their differences.
*** The Autobots and Decepticons were forced to team up ''again'' against the Cybertronian Empire, a faction of hyperevolved Decepticons who had abandoned Cybertron eons ago to create a star-spanning empire of their own. They consider the Autobots and the original Decepticons to be disgusting savages, and eventually returned to destroy their "lesser" brethren.
* At the end of ''FinalCrisis'', Superman is facing the Female Furies and the Justifiers. Who saves him and reverses the Anti-Life Equation? Lex Luthor and Dr. Sivana.
-->'''Lex:'''"Not a single word, Superman. We'll call this the Historic First Team-Up of the forces of "Good" and the forces of "Bad". And I'll take the credit for the win"
-->'''Superman:'''"Whatever you say, Lex. Whatever you say."
* {{Paperinik|NewAdventures}} (WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's superhero alter ego) is forced to work together with a notorious time pirate known as The Raider early on in order to save a large part of Duckburg from being destroyed. Later on, they actually find themselves in EnemyMine situations so often that they build up a strange kind of friendship.
* In ''Cosmic Odyssey'', [[Comicbook/NewGods Darkseid and Highfather]] team up, recruiting Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}}, and various other DC Universe heroes to prevent the [[EldritchAbomination Anti-Life Entity]] from [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroying the entire galaxy]]. [[SarcasmMode To everyone's great surprise]], {{Darkseid}} [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrays his newfound allies]], only to be stopped by Batman's BetrayalInsurance.
** This was hardly the first or the last time that {{Darkseid}} pulled one of these. In ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', for example, he ended up being instrumental in finally defeating the Anti-Monitor (but making it very clear he was only doing it not to help the heroes or anything, but rather to ensure that the Anti-Monitor wouldn't destroy everything).
