Line 259:
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Killer Queen" starts with Peter and Chris going to a "fat farm" after Chris gets sick by winning an [[Eating Contest]], which turns lethal after two campers are murdered. Peter suspects Patrick (from "The Fat Guy Strangler") is the culprit, seeing as Patrick is a [[Serial Killer]] who targets fat guys, and who has just that day been released from a psychiatric hospital. But Patrick has a pretty solid alibi, having still been in the facility when the first victim's body was found. {{spoiler|The true culprit is Charles Yamamoto, the now-''former'' champion hot dog eater, seeking revenge against Chris for defeating him.}}

Supes and Robin later discover that Bruce has fallen victim to [[Mind Control]], so again, the primary suspect is the Mad Hatter. However, it's not him. Further, when examining the evidence for himself, the Hatter confesses that the technology used on Bruce is way too advanced to be of his own making and suggests an alien source, {{apoilerspoiler| and sure enough it belonged to Brainiac.}}
** "Target", Lois suspects that Lex Luthor is trying to kill her after a series of near-death experience, especially in the light of her writing an expose on LexCorp, and that one of the devices found in her car was made at Lex's company. However, Lex denies any wrongdoing and even promises to investigate how the device got there in the first place. Sure enough, he was telling the truth. The person who tried to kill her was an ex-employee of Luthor who acted as a informant on the article, and he took the device from the company shortly before Lex fired him.
** The Sequel Episode "Solar Power" has the aforementioned ex-employee become the supervillain Luminous, who blocks off the sun's yellow rays to cripple Superman. Again, Lois is quick to suspect that he's doing this on Lex Luthor's orders, but Lex is equally quick to defend himself:
