** One reason he doesn't use it more often (although it'd been around for a while by that point) is that he tried it on the Thing again shortly after Johnny Storm's wedding. However, by that time the Thing had gotten [[Darker and Edgier]]—essentially, he was already enough of a "bad person" that the device had no effect. It also may not have helped that the Wizard was [[Moral Event Horizon|about to use it on Franklin Richards.]] |

* In one satirical comic, a villain turned this on a superhero team, intending to make them her allies. What she hadn't allowed for was that they were actually a bunch of mercenaries with good publicity, so the device turned them into genuine heroes. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Oops]]. |

* A story in the ''Young Captain Adventure'' segment of ''[[Penthouse Comix]]'' had a hilarious example of this Trope leading to the bad guys being [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Hoist by Their Own Petard]]. They first used it on Captain Adventure and Herricane (the male and female leads) and for a while, it worked as it usually did, turning them evil; but the device was only temporary, and could not be used on the same person twice. So, they decided to finish their plan by using it on the other members of the Team Supreme - ''bad'' idea. The Team Supreme are a bunch of capitalist [[Punch Clock Hero]]s who are [[Only in It For the Money]], and the device flips their personalities by ''giving'' them morals, leading to them trouncing the villains. |
