Line 62:
** In ''[[Minimonsters]]'', this is the case of [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] [[Lonely Rich Kid|Von]] [[Jerkass|Piro]]. The only things closest to "friends" he had were paid to be with him. He never knew friendship until the Frank's gang came along, and is ''very slowly'' getting used to it.
** And in ''Dinokid'', this is heavily implied with [[Big Eater|AnfiBoy]]. It makes all the more heartwarming when he joins [[The Hero|Dinokid]]'s [[True Companions|team of superhero friends]].
* [[Batman]]'s enemy, the Penguin. Viewing his history is enough for almost anyone to feel sorry for him, as he was abused, neglected, and bullied by his family, classmates, and peers, who often called him "Penguin" as an insult due to his looks. His only true friends were the birds in his mother's pet shop, becoming so attached to them that he majored in orinthology in college. Clearly, his [[Start of Darkness]] was when he decided, [[Then I Shall Be Evil]].
* [[Spider-Man]]'s foe Dr. Octopus; being a fat, nerdy child, he had no friends, and having an abusive father and an overprotective mother didn't help. The scary thing here is, Peter Parker's childhood was very similar, but his aunt and uncle were loving, caring guardians; otherwise, their childhoods were [[Not So Different]] at all.
* By his own accounts, [[Daredevil]] foe the Kingpin was an "unpopular, blubbery child" before he took up weightlifting and muscled his way into the New York City underworld.
* [[The Tick]]'s enemy Chairface Chippendale. While nobody knows just how he gained his bizarre deformity (a chair for a head) he claims it made him an outcast among other children when he was a kid.
