Line 5:
** When an antique dealer offers him only $5000, he leaves without taking the vase ''or'' the money.
** The dealer calls him on it, Chance is enraged and attacks him. The dealer is accidentally killed. Instead of calling the police and explaining what happened or taking his money and leaving, he stays to clean the mess, ''but not'' [[Makes Just As Much Sense in Context|some burning cigarette left on the scene by his]] [[Doppelganger]].
** The smoke sets off a fire alarm. Chance destroys it. A security guard calls the store and [[What an Idiot!|Chance answers the phone]]. He fails to deliver the security password required and the guard goes to the shop.
** Despite being already night, the light out, the shop closed and the owner nowhere to be seen, the guard sort of buys that this guy that doesn't know where the switches are or what the password is is a new employee in his first day in the shop, and doesn't react until he discovers the dealer's body.
** Chance kills him and also stays to clean the mess. The phone rings ''again'' and he answers it ''again''. It's the dealer's wife that is waiting for him because they were supposed to start a minivacation that night and he's getting late. He pretends to be the dealer and she comes to the shop.
Line 13:
=== From the comics ===
* [[
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Serpent. All he wants is fear. Through death and destruction. No matter who, he must get everyone killed so he can have the power.
** Sin/Skadi may be even worse, as she's entirely willing to go through with the plan, while the rest of the Worthy are just possessed. Adding to it that she's [[
*** That being said, their father/daughter interactions (ie. between The Serpent and Skadi) are strangely touching. [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]], after all.
**** Touching...or [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative]]. Syn has well-known [["Well Done, Son" Guy|daddy issues]] and at least part of her lives on in Skadi (eg. her euphoria when she learns that {{spoiler|the [[Captain America]] she killed was Bucky, since "she gets to kill [[Captain America]] twice)}}; its not a stretch to imagine the Serpent is just purposely filling out that role for her for his own ends, and doesn't give a shit about her beyond that. Skadi being the actual daughter of the Serpent doesn't really undermine that.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: When the Avengers carry Thor's broken body to Asgard, Captain America {{spoiler|Steve Rogers variety}} up and tells Odin to get to work and use his powers to heal Thor. In the process he calls Odin out on his dickish behavior and tells him to act like a real father. Odin's so shocked at being ordered around he needs a moment to process it.
** "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" You know which one.
Line 25:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Tony, furious with Odin, yells that if they're gods, then he'll sacrifice the only thing he can give that's worth anything...and takes a big swig of [[The Alcoholic|alcohol...]] And after so long of being clean, too.
** Fans are waiting for ''yet another'' series based on him trying to get sober again now.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Gravity, he got so pissed at Hardball actions in Vegas that he flies half way across the country to try to beat him up, only for their fight to accidentally set off a earthquake.}}
** Nul is shaping up this way too in the aftermath/Defenders series tie-in. Simply existing in this world causes him unbearable pain.
