Line 27:
* A running theme of the Milestone comic ''[[Hardware (comics)|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.
** This tends to happen ''every'' time the Kingpin forcibly or voluntarily relinquishes his position as crimelord of New York. Both Spidey and [[Daredevil]] have all but accepted his role of such as a [[Necessary Evil]], because [[Better the Devil You Know]].
* 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.
* In ''[[The Savage Dragon]]'', a Gang War erupts after Dragon kills Overlord, the ruler of the Vicious Circle.
