* Inverted in Bill Willingham's ''[[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]'', in which fairy tale characters have fled from their magical homelands, which were conquered by the evil Adversary, to the mundane world, with most settling in New York. {{spoiler|Eventually played straight when the Adversary sends the witch Baba Yaga leading an army of wooden soldiers to New York to conquer Fabletown.}} The Mundies never notice, because they think they are marching young Republicans.
* [[The DCU]] villainess the Queen of Fables is the [[Wicked Stepmother]] from "[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]". The twist is that in [[The DCU]], (a [[Grimmification|bloodier version of]]) the events of the fairytale [[All Myths Are True|actually happened]], but then Snow White used a magic book to [[Ret-Gone]] the whole thing into fiction, so the Queen is also a sort of [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]. When the magic book is reopened, the Queen takes over Manhattan and becomes convinced that [[Wonder Woman]] is Snow White.
** There is also Brother Grimm, King of Eastwind, who antagonizes [[Flash]] and lusts after Flash's wife, Linda Park West. He has similar powers to the Queen of Fables, and can somehow detect and attack someone who is using [[Super Speed]], making him a tough foe for Flash to face.
