* ''ComicBook/{{Irredeemable}}'': [[Characters/IrredeemablePlutonian The Plutonian]] was once a [[BewareTheSuperman superhero]] who only saved lives for the [[AttentionWhore adoration it brought him]].

Seeking revenge for his defeat, Malefor forces Calliope to assist him in reviving him with the powers of Spyro, Cynder, and Hex, [[PowerParasite rendering them weak and helpless]], falsely promising her to help her find her family if she does while threatening to kill her if she dares to disobey him.
