Line 99:
* ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' is an even lighter version of [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] compared to [[Teen Titans (animation)|the TV show]]. It takes places in a bright happy world where some of the worst things the elementary school Titans need to worry about are: embarrassingly-loving father Trigon, grumpy lunch lady Darkseid, and stern principal Slade. In both versions of ''Teen Titans'', Trigon wishes to conquer Earth and turn it into a literal hell, [[Darkseid]] is out to conquer ''all'' life, and Slade is an amoral mercenary and assassin.
** To say nothing of the comic version Starfire's [[Most Common Superpower|character design]]...
* The 1994 [[ReContinuity BootReboot]] of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]''. Over the previous decade, the comic had been hemorrhaging readers for years, having gone from happy young superheroes in a bright and shiny future to cynical adults struggling to hold society together (and the insanely complex [[Continuity Snarl]] that came about after ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''. So, the comic started over at the beginning with a focus on youth and idealism. (It got [[Darker and Edgier]] again when [[Dan Abnett]] and Andy Lanning took over writing duties years later, but that's another story.)
* Done in-universe in ''[[The Sandman]]'': [[Cain and Abel|Abel]] tells the baby Daniel the story of how he and Cain came to live in Dream's dominion... well, a version appropriate for a toddler, anyway. The story involves [[Super-Deformed]] versions of themselves, Dream and Death. Cain is utterly sickened. ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|It's hilarious]].''

* [[Decks Fall, Everyone Dies|Decks Fall Everyone Dies]], a Film Fic of ''Moulin Rouge!'' using the ''Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series'' characters, tones down the Duke's character (and the depression of rest of the plot) considerably.
* ''[[South Park Monogatari]]'' tones down the swearing slightly and has little to no innuendos whatsoever.
* The [http://archiveofourown.org/series/9224 "Daycare 'Verse"], a series of [[Alternate Universe]] modern-setting ''[[X-Men: First Class|X Men First Class]]'' [[Slash Fic]]s. In it, Charles Xavier runs a daycare for [[Kid Fic|mutant toddlers]], and [[Magneto|Erik Lehnsherr]] is his [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] engineer boyfriend (instead of a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] [[Nazi Hunter]]-turned-terrorist). Instead of [[Fantastic Racism]] and imminent nuclear war, the main hazards in the characters' current lives seem to be annoying coworkers and getting set on fire by a mutant preschooler with [[Power Incontinence]] issues.
