[[Trope Namers|And that's terrible. [[Ascended Meme|''Terribly awesome'']].
* In Jeff Smith's re-make of ''[[The Monster Society Ofof Evil]]'', starring [[Captain Marvel]], there's a scene where it's explained Dr. Sivana doesn't want to destroy the machines made by Mr. Mind, only to capture and sell them to the army so he can get rich.

Considering that the book had a wide age appeal and most 7 year olds don't have a clear understanding of war profiting this could be [[Justified Trope|justified]].
** War profiteering might be a hard concept for kids to understand, but this is [[Evil Genius|Dr. Sivanna]] we're talking about here.
* Parody version [http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/497/adrianveidtkilledmillio.jpg here]. Spoilers for ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]''.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in [[Scott Pilgrim]]:
* {{quote|"[[Scott Pilgrim|Gideon]] stole the [[Power of Love]]! What a dick!"}}
*:* "What a dick." is repeated after Gideon {{spoiler|stabs Ramona}}.
* From the ''[[Doom (Comic Book)|Doom Comic]]'' we get the immortal line "Now I'm radioactive! That can't be good!"
