* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' while the Smoke Knights are connected to the Knights of Jove conspiracy the conspiracy itself is incredibly fractured so they end up on opposing sides and fighting each other with alarming frequency. There's also the group of rouge Smoke Knights that are loyal to the Other, all other Smoke Knights will drop their current missions and join forces together to take them out if they happen to run into one. This is handy when Violetta realizes there's one in the Corbettite crypts when her lady Agatha's group is being followed by two other Smoke Knights as it allows all three of them to team up when previously they were all on opposing sides.

* The [=ACME=] Detective Agency and V.I.L.E. in the ''CarmenSandiego'' games. [=ACME=] is basically a BrandX version of Interpol and V.I.L.E. pretty much [[CardCarryingVillain just exists to be evil]]. Or to feed Carmen's ego, DependingOnTheWriter. They aren't exactly spy organizations, but the series borrows tropes from the spy genre enough that it really doesn't matter.

Not A Subversion. It's made clear that the 'construction companies' are just fronts for the organizations.


** Subverted in the fact that despite having all the hallmarks of the genre, RED and BLU are, in appearance, ''[[RuleOfFunny construction companies]]''
