* [[Spider-Man]]'s former wife Mary Jane met ''two'' fans like this on two separate occasions when she was an actress for the soap opera ''[[Show Within a Show|Secret Hospital]]'': |

** The first was an old woman who, confusing her for her vixen character on the show, slapped her and called her a tramp. While the old woman was no threat to Mary Jane, the fan was, minutes later, run down and killed by a hit-and-run driver, later revealed to be a [[Yandere]] pursuing MJ and trying to "protect" her. |
|||
** The second time was more dangerous. This time a mentally ill woman who mistook her for her character (and who was apparently in love with "Troy" the male character who had been jilted by MJ's character) actually pulled a gun and tried to shoot MJ. She missed and was subdued by a police officer, but MJ was frightened for a while, wondering if this was what Peter had to go through every day. |
