* In ''[[The Insane Quest]]'', it quickly becomes apparent that the members of Smoosh are not so much heroes as they are bystanders caught in the middle of a petty fight between two selfish gods. While their enemy, Segami, destroys planets, harms innocents and causes mayhem to accomplish his goals, their leader, Nintendoki...[[Not So Different|destroys planets, harms innocents and causes mayhem to accomplish his goals.]] The only real thing that sets Smoosh apart from their enemies is the fact that they realize when Nintendoki is telling them to do something wrong.

* In the [[Alternate History]].Com timeline ''[[Reds]]!'', the UASR is presented in a more positive light than most of the other governments of the time, but it is far from perfect.

* ''[[Kickassia]]'' has a president just minding his business being overthrown by a crazy idiot who becomes a dictator - and [[The Nostalgia Critic|the latter]], [[Villain Protagonist|who is the protagonist]], ends up fighting his comrades, who aren't much honorable themselves and try to take over when they think the Critic's died from their beating.

** Later in ''[[Suburban Knights]]'', [[That Guy With The Glasses|the heroes]], still deep in the gray morality, face gray villains (a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] and his friends [[Punch Clock Villain|who just wanted to help him]] on his mission) and the [[Complete Monster]] [[Evil Luddite]] the gray villains are trying to stop.

* The Curse Of Maraqua plot of ''[[Neopets]]'' has two groups of pirate armies crashing against each other. While [[Chaotic Neutral|Garin]] himself is not the nicest guy in Neopia, he helps defend the new city of Maraqua against the [[Complete Monster|even worse]] [[Chaotic Evil|Captain Scarblade]].
