* In ''ComicBook/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'', Mordiel ends up joining forces with Graciel and Amaya against Eclipso.
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** In the 1970s, two issues of ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' featured Batman teaming up with ComicBook/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]].
** {{Discussed|Trope}} and then [[StealthPun soundly]] {{defied|Trope}} in ''ComicBook/BatmanBeyond''. When [[spoiler: Man-Bat threatens the city with a sonic weapon]], Terry believes Commissioner Gordon and Dick have called him to suggest he team up with Shriek, the other villainous sound expert, "[[LampshadeHanging just like in the vids]]". They respond by pointing out that Shriek is a madman and a loose cannon, and there's no way they could ever trust him. Terry seems quite disappointed to hear it.
** ''ComicBook/BatgirlAdventures'': ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} reluctantly teams up with Harley Quinn to take down villain Kitsune.
** ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal'': Batman teams up with ComicBook/TheJoker to deal with his EvilCounterpart, The Batman Who Laughs.
* 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]]. Unsurprisingly, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrays his newfound allies]], only to be stopped by Batman's BetrayalInsurance.
** This was hardly the first or the last time that ComicBook/{{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 [[EvilVersusOblivion destroy everything]]).
** Darkseid did the same thing with Imperiex.
* ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil'': Lex and his "Legion of Doom"-esque alliance fighting back against the larger, more encompassing threat the Crime Syndicate poses.
* In Year Five of ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', Batman recruits several supervillains to help him fight Superman's Regime, choosing them based on their adherence to a [[ThouShaltNotKill no-kill rule.]] After learning of Batman's plan, Superman does the exact same thing, though the villains he chooses are willing to use lethal force and are thus more numerous.
* ''ComicBook/JonahHex'': In #10 of the original series, el Papagayo forces Jonah to aid him in a plan to steal a store of gold from the Mexican government. When the the soldiers uncover the plot, they assume Jonah is a willing participant and Jonah is forced to fight alongside the outlaws to save his own life.
* In the final issue of Creator/PaulCornell's ''ComicBook/KnightAndSquire'', ''everyone'' in the British super-community teams up to take down ComicBook/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/TheMultiversity'', Superdoomsday wrecked havoc on several Earths, but because he and his fellow Overcorp stooge are the only champions of Earth-45, Harbinger is forced to summon them in the final battle alongside several superhero teams he had previously wronged. Members of the Earth-10 New Reichsmen and Freedom Fighters are likewise recruited. However, due to the sheer immensity of the conflict, these antagonistic groups have little opportunity to lock horns.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Supergirl, [[FriendlyEnemy Lena]] and [[EvilTwin Belinda]] join forces momentarily to try to stop Streaky the Supercat's rampage.
** Supergirl had to reluctantly join forces with Blackstarr -- one of her worst enemies -- during the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** At the end of ''ComicBook/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."
** ''ComicBook/TheSupermanAdventures'' has Superman forced to go to Lex when ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} falls deathly ill.
** Superman and ComicBook/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 ''ComicBook/SupermanDoomsdayHunterPrey'', Superman teams up with Darkseid to stop both Doomsday and Cyborg Superman as they both attack Apokolips.
** ''ComicBook/TheGreatPhantomPeril'': During the final battle, Faora commands the Phantom Zoners to attack Superman. Neither of them likes being ordered around by her, but the Zoners hate Superman more than they despise Faora.
--->'''Faora Hu-Ul:''' "Hear me, males! Kill him where he stands!"\\
'''Kru-El:''' "We're obeying Faora?"\\
'''Dru-Zod:''' "Destroying Superman must not be our first priority!"
** ''ComicBook/TwoForTheDeathOfOne'': When Lord Satanis realizes his power is not enough to beat Syrene, not even after taking over Superman's body, he asks Superman's subsumed consciousness to awaken and help him fight her.
--->'''Lord Satanis:''' "It is no use. I fight... But my powers are not nearly great enough! Superman, whatever part of you that can still think and resist... I call to you now! Aid me now, venerable foe -- Or both of us shall surely perish!"
* This was the [[InvokedTrope driving force]] behind ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'''s ending, both the original comic and the film adaptation (though the common enemy in each was completely different).
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} unhesitatingly joins up with the heroes to fight Circe and her rather large collection of female villains gathered to hunt men, specifically superhero men, for sport in New York City.

* Caleb Hammer and Gunhawk, both of whom were hunting Kid Colt, temporarily join forces with him to defend the town of Wonderment in ''ComicBook/BlazeOfGlory''.
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'':
** One story-arc 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.
** Another time, Diamondback of the Serpent Society sought Cap out when the Viper (Madame Hydra) instigated a hostile takeover of the Society so she could use them to turn the population of Washington, D.C. into SnakePeople. The Captain and his allies helped Diamondback and other Society members still loyal to its founder, Sidewinder, in stopping Viper and reversing the effects of her snakeification of the Capital. This led to Diamondback's HeelFaceTurn and Sidewinder's retirement.
* The ComicBook/{{Daken}} and ComicBook/{{X 23}} crossover involved this. Daken was initially working with Malcolm Colcord, while playing all the other parties against one another in pursuit of his own goals. However once Colcord's intent to recreate Weapon X is revealed, Daken and Laura throw in together to bring him down. Unlike Daken's relationship with their [[Franchise/{{Wolverine}} father]], the team-up results in them becoming FriendlyEnemies when they realize they're NotSoDifferent.
* In ''ComicBook/DoctorDoom2019'', Doom and Kang cooperate briefly. They insult each other constantly, but respect each other's intent to kill the other at some point.
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'':
** [[spoiler:After the death of the Human Torch]], ComicBook/DoctorDoom and 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 ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'']].
** Not the first time Doom has teamed up with his enemies. An early story arc had him actually leading the FF against the villain known as Over-Mind.
** One ''What If?'' comic had Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk and Ghost Rider take up the mantle when the original FF were killed. When a villain nearly kills them too, Doom shows up and saves them, declaring that no one, save Doom, may defeat the Fantastic Four... Apparently including their replacements.
* ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'': A large number of nominal enemies -- including the Kree, Skrull, and Shi'ar empires, as well as the Avengers -- unite to counter the threat that the Builders pose to the whole universe.
* Circumstances have forced [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] to team up with members of his RoguesGallery, including [[MagnificentBastard Loki]], [[MoreExpendableThanYou the Executioner]], and [[DatingCatwoman the Enchantress]].
** Loki is willing to fight on Thor's side pretty much any time Asgard is under attack; his goal is to rule it, after all, and he can't rule it if it's demolished. Also, in the Spider-Man comic "The Coming of Chaos", he was willing to team up with Spider-Man in order to [[PapaWolf save his mortal daughter, who had become possessed.]]
* In Marvel's ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' mega-event, [[spoiler: the villain mastermind ComicBook/TheHood sends his forces into battle to save the Earth from the Skrulls]]. He has his own reasons for this: [[spoiler:it helps ComicBook/NormanOsborn in his ploy to take over SHIELD and instigate the Comicbook/DarkReign]]. (It's also 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''.]])
* Franchise/SpiderMan examples.
** Spidey and ''[[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus 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". (Truthfully, 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.
** ComicBook/{{Venom}} and ComicBook/{{Carnage}} hate each other far more than they hate Spider-Man. Any time Carnage pops up, Venom will call a truce with Spider-Man to go whale on Carnage. This most famously occurred in the storyline ComicBook/MaximumCarnage, which was adapted into a Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo game. Also, 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."
** In one of the most memorable stories of ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'' that didn't involve the [[ComicBook/XMen mutant teams]] in the main storyline, Spidey fought alongside J. Jonah Jameson to defend ''The Daily Bugle'' against the invading demon horde. It was little wonder that the writers named the story [[ExcitedShowTitle "When the Bugle Blows!"]]
** In the one shot comic ''Spider-Man Dead Man's Hand'', Spidey and his old enemy the Tinkerer cooperated for mutual benefit after the third Carrion infected New Yorkers with a disease that made them zombie-like minions. (The Tinker was working on a teleportation device for the Enclave that Spidey needed to get to Wungadore quickly, as he knew the High Evolutionary might have inside information on the plague, and the Tinkerer was willing to help, seeing as his son was one of the victims of said plague.)
* ComicBook/SpiderWoman called a truce with several former enemies to escape the clutches of the Locksmith in the 50th issue of her series, and even invited a few of them to her apartment later! (Unfortunately, said party was interrupted [[HalfwayPlotSwitch by the darker threat of the story.)]]
* Examples from 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.
** Another storyline had Starscream come in contact with a cosmic power source called the Underbase, which made him so powerful -- not to mention drove him to madness -- that the Autobots and Decepticons were forced to team up to stop him. Notably, they were not able to -- overdosing on the Underbase's power eventually destroyed Starscream.
* ComicBook/MilesMorales makes an unexpected team-up with Rhino when he finds out that they are both following the same kidnappers. Also, Rhino may have had some fights with the original Spider-Man, but has no beef with this new one.
* ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': The Brotherhood rescued the X-Men from Weapon X and joined forces against them. They defeat all the soldiers, but then disagree on what to do with them. The Brotherhood wants to kill them, but the X-Men think that IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, always referred to as the BigBad, is the first person the heroes team up with when someone worse comes along.
** Particularly in the [[WesternAnimation/XMen 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 ''X-Men'' graphic novel ''ComicBook/GodLovesManKills'' 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 ComicBook/NewMutants back then, Magneto as the head of the Xavier school felt like a new status quo.
** When Nimrod the Super Sentinel started attacking everybody, the X-Men and the Hellfire Club had to work together to defeat him.
* In ''ComicBook/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'', Mordiel ends up joining forces with Graciel and Amaya against Eclipso.
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** In the 1970s, two issues of ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' featured Batman teaming up with ComicBook/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]].
** {{Discussed|Trope}} and then [[StealthPun soundly]] {{defied|Trope}} in ''ComicBook/BatmanBeyond''. When [[spoiler: Man-Bat threatens the city with a sonic weapon]], Terry believes Commissioner Gordon and Dick have called him to suggest he team up with Shriek, the other villainous sound expert, "[[LampshadeHanging just like in the vids]]". They respond by pointing out that Shriek is a madman and a loose cannon, and there's no way they could ever trust him. Terry seems quite disappointed to hear it.
** ''ComicBook/BatgirlAdventures'': ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} reluctantly teams up with Harley Quinn to take down villain Kitsune.
** ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal'': Batman teams up with ComicBook/TheJoker to deal with his EvilCounterpart, The Batman Who Laughs.
* 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]]. Unsurprisingly, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrays his newfound allies]], only to be stopped by Batman's BetrayalInsurance.
** This was hardly the first or the last time that ComicBook/{{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 [[EvilVersusOblivion destroy everything]]).
** Darkseid did the same thing with Imperiex.
* ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil'': Lex and his "Legion of Doom"-esque alliance fighting back against the larger, more encompassing threat the Crime Syndicate poses.
* In Year Five of ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', Batman recruits several supervillains to help him fight Superman's Regime, choosing them based on their adherence to a [[ThouShaltNotKill no-kill rule.]] After learning of Batman's plan, Superman does the exact same thing, though the villains he chooses are willing to use lethal force and are thus more numerous.
* ''ComicBook/JonahHex'': In #10 of the original series, el Papagayo forces Jonah to aid him in a plan to steal a store of gold from the Mexican government. When the the soldiers uncover the plot, they assume Jonah is a willing participant and Jonah is forced to fight alongside the outlaws to save his own life.
* In the final issue of Creator/PaulCornell's ''ComicBook/KnightAndSquire'', ''everyone'' in the British super-community teams up to take down ComicBook/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/TheMultiversity'', Superdoomsday wrecked havoc on several Earths, but because he and his fellow Overcorp stooge are the only champions of Earth-45, Harbinger is forced to summon them in the final battle alongside several superhero teams he had previously wronged. Members of the Earth-10 New Reichsmen and Freedom Fighters are likewise recruited. However, due to the sheer immensity of the conflict, these antagonistic groups have little opportunity to lock horns.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Supergirl, [[FriendlyEnemy Lena]] and [[EvilTwin Belinda]] join forces momentarily to try to stop Streaky the Supercat's rampage.
** Supergirl had to reluctantly join forces with Blackstarr -- one of her worst enemies -- during the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** At the end of ''ComicBook/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."
** ''ComicBook/TheSupermanAdventures'' has Superman forced to go to Lex when ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} falls deathly ill.
** Superman and ComicBook/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 ''ComicBook/SupermanDoomsdayHunterPrey'', Superman teams up with Darkseid to stop both Doomsday and Cyborg Superman as they both attack Apokolips.
** ''ComicBook/TheGreatPhantomPeril'': During the final battle, Faora commands the Phantom Zoners to attack Superman. Neither of them likes being ordered around by her, but the Zoners hate Superman more than they despise Faora.
--->'''Faora Hu-Ul:''' "Hear me, males! Kill him where he stands!"\\
'''Kru-El:''' "We're obeying Faora?"\\
'''Dru-Zod:''' "Destroying Superman must not be our first priority!"
** ''ComicBook/TwoForTheDeathOfOne'': When Lord Satanis realizes his power is not enough to beat Syrene, not even after taking over Superman's body, he asks Superman's subsumed consciousness to awaken and help him fight her.
--->'''Lord Satanis:''' "It is no use. I fight... But my powers are not nearly great enough! Superman, whatever part of you that can still think and resist... I call to you now! Aid me now, venerable foe -- Or both of us shall surely perish!"
* This was the [[InvokedTrope driving force]] behind ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'''s ending, both the original comic and the film adaptation (though the common enemy in each was completely different).
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} unhesitatingly joins up with the heroes to fight Circe and her rather large collection of female villains gathered to hunt men, specifically superhero men, for sport in New York City.
!!Marvel Comics
* Caleb Hammer and Gunhawk, both of whom were hunting Kid Colt, temporarily join forces with him to defend the town of Wonderment in ''ComicBook/BlazeOfGlory''.
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'':
** One story-arc 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.
** Another time, Diamondback of the Serpent Society sought Cap out when the Viper (Madame Hydra) instigated a hostile takeover of the Society so she could use them to turn the population of Washington, D.C. into SnakePeople. The Captain and his allies helped Diamondback and other Society members still loyal to its founder, Sidewinder, in stopping Viper and reversing the effects of her snakeification of the Capital. This led to Diamondback's HeelFaceTurn and Sidewinder's retirement.
* The ComicBook/{{Daken}} and ComicBook/{{X 23}} crossover involved this. Daken was initially working with Malcolm Colcord, while playing all the other parties against one another in pursuit of his own goals. However once Colcord's intent to recreate Weapon X is revealed, Daken and Laura throw in together to bring him down. Unlike Daken's relationship with their [[Franchise/{{Wolverine}} father]], the team-up results in them becoming FriendlyEnemies when they realize they're NotSoDifferent.
* In ''ComicBook/DoctorDoom2019'', Doom and Kang cooperate briefly. They insult each other constantly, but respect each other's intent to kill the other at some point.
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'':
** [[spoiler:After the death of the Human Torch]], ComicBook/DoctorDoom and 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 ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'']].
** Not the first time Doom has teamed up with his enemies. An early story arc had him actually leading the FF against the villain known as Over-Mind.
** One ''What If?'' comic had Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk and Ghost Rider take up the mantle when the original FF were killed. When a villain nearly kills them too, Doom shows up and saves them, declaring that no one, save Doom, may defeat the Fantastic Four... Apparently including their replacements.
* ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'': A large number of nominal enemies -- including the Kree, Skrull, and Shi'ar empires, as well as the Avengers -- unite to counter the threat that the Builders pose to the whole universe.
* Circumstances have forced [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] to team up with members of his RoguesGallery, including [[MagnificentBastard Loki]], [[MoreExpendableThanYou the Executioner]], and [[DatingCatwoman the Enchantress]].
** Loki is willing to fight on Thor's side pretty much any time Asgard is under attack; his goal is to rule it, after all, and he can't rule it if it's demolished. Also, in the Spider-Man comic "The Coming of Chaos", he was willing to team up with Spider-Man in order to [[PapaWolf save his mortal daughter, who had become possessed.]]
* In Marvel's ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' mega-event, [[spoiler: the villain mastermind ComicBook/TheHood sends his forces into battle to save the Earth from the Skrulls]]. He has his own reasons for this: [[spoiler:it helps ComicBook/NormanOsborn in his ploy to take over SHIELD and instigate the Comicbook/DarkReign]]. (It's also 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''.]])
* Franchise/SpiderMan examples.
** Spidey and ''[[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus 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". (Truthfully, 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.
** ComicBook/{{Venom}} and ComicBook/{{Carnage}} hate each other far more than they hate Spider-Man. Any time Carnage pops up, Venom will call a truce with Spider-Man to go whale on Carnage. This most famously occurred in the storyline ComicBook/MaximumCarnage, which was adapted into a Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo game. Also, 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."
** In one of the most memorable stories of ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'' that didn't involve the [[ComicBook/XMen mutant teams]] in the main storyline, Spidey fought alongside J. Jonah Jameson to defend ''The Daily Bugle'' against the invading demon horde. It was little wonder that the writers named the story [[ExcitedShowTitle "When the Bugle Blows!"]]
** In the one shot comic ''Spider-Man Dead Man's Hand'', Spidey and his old enemy the Tinkerer cooperated for mutual benefit after the third Carrion infected New Yorkers with a disease that made them zombie-like minions. (The Tinker was working on a teleportation device for the Enclave that Spidey needed to get to Wungadore quickly, as he knew the High Evolutionary might have inside information on the plague, and the Tinkerer was willing to help, seeing as his son was one of the victims of said plague.)
* ComicBook/SpiderWoman called a truce with several former enemies to escape the clutches of the Locksmith in the 50th issue of her series, and even invited a few of them to her apartment later! (Unfortunately, said party was interrupted [[HalfwayPlotSwitch by the darker threat of the story.)]]

** 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.

** 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.
** The [[CosmicRetcon Post-Super Genesis Wave]] reality provides an interesting example in the case of the Midesta Freedom Fighters, and the local Egg Army Boss, Nephthys the Vulture. She's an old friend of theirs, who only joined Eggman for the sake of keeping his oppression to a minimum, with the Fighters going along with it and only putting up a facade of resistance, in order to keep the region stable and not draw too much attention from either side in the grander conflict. Notably, both groups see Sonic as more trouble than anything, as his fight with Eggman just brings the latter's heel down harder on his victims.
** A funny example from the comic's early days has the Freedom Fighters, Original Robotnik, and Snively are captured by an alien named [[PunnyName Khareem of Weet]] so he can study them as representatives of Mobian Life. Of course Robotnik offers a temporary alliance to escape, but the Freedom Fighters point out that they don't actually NEED him to escape and that he could only come with them if he agreed to become an official Freedom Fighter.
