Betrayal Insurance: Difference between revisions

* A very dark version occurs in ''[[Comicbook/Irredeemable|Irredeemable]]'', where [[Badass Normal]] the Hornet stops trusting his team's Superman-expy the Plutionian when the latter refers to the Hornet's wife by name, which the Hornet hadn't revealed. Realising that this ally with god-like powers is spying on his team-mates, and that the Plutionian has a human personality with human faults, the Hornet looks for weapons against him.

** His chance comes when Earth is invaded by an alien conquering race called the Vespa. The Hornet offers them teleportation technology (incredibly rare in this universe) and the co-ordinates of peaceful and defenceless planets his team has encountered, on the promise that the Vespa won't attack Earth, and will return to fight the Plutonian if the Hornet asks them to. {{spoiler|The plan works, with the Plutonian captured and imprisoned by the Vespa. Temporariliy at least.}}
