* In ''[[Runaways]]'', the team has to deal with this after taking down their evil parents, who ran all the illegal activities anywhere within range of LA.
** And now in the new [[Moon Knight]] series, there's a new "Kingpin of L.A." filling the void.
* A running theme of the Milestone comic ''[[Hardware (Comic Bookcomics)|Hardware]]'' was that Hardware's mentor/boss/enemy (it was complicated) kept his hand in organized crime because without his influence, anarchy would be loosed amongst the criminal element of the city. {{spoiler|Later, he died trying to save people, and it turned out he was right.}}
* In the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' universe, when Parker helps to take down Kingpin, it almost immediately turns worse, as less-refined, less-humane and less-subtle underbosses scramble to take the top spot Kingpin used to occupy.
* When Kobra, a long time [[Diabolical Mastermind]] who had served as a [[Big Bad]] many times in [[The DCU]] was [[Killed Off for Real]] by Black Adam, his [[Religion of Evil]] was wracked with power struggles. This seems to have been settled recently, as his good twin has been brought back to life, turned evil, and taken the reigns of the organization. And become the Big Bad in a recent [[JSA]] miniseries.
