→Comic Books
Line 19:
* In X-Men while not evil, [[Wolverine]] is fine with killing when necessary but he really doesn't want [[X-23]] evolved in that type of lifestyle and wants her to have a normal life. Her mother Sarah Kinney under went a [[Heel Face Turn]] to try and secure a normal life for her. it ended [[Tear Jerker|tragically]].
** In "Schism", Logan feels this way about ''all'' of the younger mutants, and rebuilds the Institute in Westchester to give young mutants a chance to be kids.
* [[Daredevil]]]'s father "Battling Jack" Murdock was clearly not evil, but he was adamant that his son not be thought of as a muscle-bound moron like him. So he insisted that young Matt forego athletics entirely and spend all his time studying. As a result, Matt became quite a bookworm, and other kids called him "daredevil" as a sarcastic insult, a name which would later inspire his ''nom de guerre''. Neither his father nor anyone else knew that Matt was actually trying to train himself in secret, although it wouldn't actually be until he met his mentor Stick that he became good enough to become the Man Without Fear.
* Played with in ''[[Kick-Ass]].'' Chris D'Amico, {{spoiler|a.k.a. Red Mist}}, is entirely aware of what his father Frank does for a living, and wants to be a part of the family business, but his dad won't allow it. Oddly, it seems like it's more because he has no faith in his son's abilities (telling Hit-girl that he wishes he had a kid like her) than because he wants a better life for him.
** Subverted again by Damon Maccready, a.k.a. Big Daddy, who despite looking like [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ned Flanders]], raises his little girl to be a ruthlessly efficient vigilante in order to exact revenge on D'Amico {{spoiler|not really revenge, he was just bored with his life and wanted his daughter to have an interesting life}}.
