* Any time Bass is featured in a [[Mega Man (animation)|Ruby-Spears Mega Man]] fic, there's a good chance he'll be one of these; his primary purpose is to make [[The Dragon|Proto Man]] leave Wily (for whatever reason the author sees fit) and force the cartoon to be a different-looking Capcom-''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]''. Then he tends to drop off the face of the Earth. [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|Arg.]]

* There is a certain ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic out there which cranks this trope to the highest level. A woman from the "real world" pretty much descends like an angel from heaven into the Magic Box and proceeds to spend chapter upon chapter spouting off about how wonderful [[Draco in Leather Pants|Spike]] is, making him out to be the sweetest, most courageous boy ever and verbally tearing down anyone who stands in the way of this new worldview. [[Shipper on Deck|(And the Spike/Buffy ship.)]] This, of course, means that [[Derailing Love Interests|Riley and Angel]] are [[Ron the Death Eater|revealed]] as a [[Fantastic Racism|speciesist]] sociopath and a vicious, egotistical [[You Keep Using That Word|pedophile]], respectively. The Fixer Sue flat out says that she hates Riley and thinks he's boring, but gets a thin guise of "trying to help Angel"... for about three minutes, before listing every way he's terrible. (A majority of these reasons are blown way, way out of proportion or just made up "psychological" analysis.) They are exiled by the "enlightened" Scoobies, who may have ripped them apart with their bare hands if the author had deemed it fitting drama. [[It Got Worse|It gets worse after that]].

* Parodied in [http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/ornstead.html Otaku Three - EVA Revolution], where a dangerously genre savvy [[Marty Stu]] tries to derail ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' not through sheer badassitude or [[Xanatos Speed Chess]], but instead by feigning [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] until he turns the series into a [[Super Robot]] show. Hilarity Ensues.

* As in Ranma fics, [[Love Hina]] has ''many'' involving Keitaro suddenly having a brother or cousin who shows up to fix the story.

* [[Heroes|Arthur Petrelli]] seems to be a canon version, as he took away Peter's endless supply of powers and also managed to get rid of the hated Maya.
