* This is Arcade's MO - for a fee, he'll ''capture'' heroes and put them in a death trap (''Murderworld'') of his own devising. One wonders why villains don't just pay him to capture and collect their unconscious foes.
** Because that's Arcade's 'thing'. HeSupposedly he got bored killing people the old-fashioned way; he's gotta put them through the Death Course, that's where the fun is!
** He is also willing to rent his courses out to various villains so that they can train.
* The [[Don Rosa]] Scrooge McDuck story "Treasure of the Ten Avatars".
Line 48:
* In an issue of ''[[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]]'', Catwoman had to navigate one of these in order to get into an ancient temple buried beneath the Sahara. She wondered why all of the traps were in such good working order after centuries of disuse, only to realise that her rival Hellhound had got there ahead of her and had repaired and reset all of the traps on his way in to slow her down.
* A hero-villain inversion occurs in ''[[Sin City]]''. [[Heroic Sociopath|Marv]] sets fire to [[Serial Killer|Kevin's]] house, lures him out with gunshots, tries to trip him up with razor wire, sets up his coat as a decoy, tries to lob his head off with a hatchet, and then just resorts to handcuffing him and punching him in the face.
