* In [[Fan Fiction]], overlap this with a failed [[Author Avatar]] and you get a [[Mary Sue]]. A [[Jerk Sue]] or possibly even a [[Villain Sue]], if they're heavy on the "darker" and/or "ruder" parts; emphasizing the "cooler" part can result in any kind of Sue. |

* ''[[xxxHolic]]'' featured a sub-story about a woman in Hideki's school who, thanks to a winged parasite, slowly lost her inhibitions. Instead of being nice and sociable, she became progressively more angry and violent until she nearly killed a person. |

* The red pills of ''[[The Matrix]]''. Before their introduction to the Real World, they were hackers, geeks and other freaks. This makes it obvious why, when they go back into the Matrix, they all wear [[Badass Longcoat|longcoats]] and [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]]. |

* On ''[[Caprica]]'', New Cap City is a virtual environment built around this concept along with [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]], where the whole point of the game is to have fun without getting killed by someone else's idea of fun. Everyone gets access to the guns, drugs, cash, and sex they could want, and the only major consequence being that if you're too slow, you die and can never return. |
