== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' has its share of villains that aren't Team Rocket, whether single-episode Pokemon menaces, thieves, the region's local villainous team, or [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Bill]] and Cassidy. As Jessie and James end up appearing in nearly every episode, they get more than their share of this trope.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* In one of the children's book tie-ins of ''[[The Flash]]'', the Weather Wizard is released to a halfway house on the same day a tornado rips through the city; naturally, everyone assumes he did it, but the Flash uses his science skills to deduce that the tornado began before he could have regained access to his weather control wand. {{spoiler|In the end, it's suggested that--as per the comics--he no longer quite needs the wand.}}
* In ''[[Identity Crisis]]'', none of the supervillains had anything to do with Sue Dibny's death.
 
 
== Fan Works ==
* In ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/UF/FI/SOS/night-to-remember.txt A Night to Remember]'', a story from the ''Symphony of the Sword'' cycle of ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', the 2409 Koopman Memorial High School prom is interrupted by an attack by [[Giant Robo|Big Fire]]. [[The Powerpuff Girls|Mojo Jojo]], who was the prom's DJ ([[It Makes Sense in Context]], really), ducks out and shows up a few minutes later in a [[Humongous Mecha]]. Then...

Martin, Eiko, and several hundred others on both sides watched in bewilderment as Blossom, flanked on either side by Bubbles and Buttercup - all three still in their prom dresses - glared down at the Hestonian scientist through the dome of his robot as the dust of their first strike settled.
"All right, Mojo," Blossom spat testily, "we don't know what your scheme is THIS time, but - "
"I HAVE no scheme!" Mojo shouted back, his voice accompanied by a winceworthy screech of feedback from the Robo Jojo's PA system.
"Oh YEAH?" Buttercup asked, picking up the Robo Jojo's severed arm and waving it meaningfully. "Then how did you just HAPPEN to have one of your evil robots handy on our prom night, huh? Answer me THAT, Smart Guy!"
"I ... Well ... I ..." Mojo cast a spiteful glare off to one side, harrumphed mightily, and grumbled, "I was going to use it to attack you at your graduation."
"You remembered our graduation?" Bubbles smiled. "Aww, that's so -sweet- of you!"
"BUBBLES!!" Buttercup barked.
"Sorry," the blonde replied, looking downcast.
Mojo worked the controls on his robot to bring it back to its feet; with that accomplished, he could now rant more properly, which he proceeded to do. "Now my plans for tainting the greatest moment of your scholastic careers with a crushing defeat at my own hands have been rendered totally unworkable and are completely RUINED! Thanks to these inCOMpetent, moRONic, CRETinous - "
"Blackballing," Martin volunteered.
" - (yes, thank you) BLACKballing Big Fire henchmen, your graduation shall now be too securely protected for even ME to launch my scheme with even a remote hope for success! I cannot allow such an affront to my carefully laid plans which I have planned so very carefully to go UNCHALLENGED!"
Blossom regarded her longtime adversary with a dumbfounded, quizzical look, and finally asked, "So ... you're -not- attacking the school?"
"NO, I'M NOT ATTACKING THE SCHOOL!!" Mojo roared.}}
