Line 89:
* Averted or inverted in the case of the various members of [[Thunderbolts]]. Most of the members have been b-grade villains. Once they became heroes (or were forced to join the team), they became much more competent or at least remained as powerful as they were before.
* The [[Spider-Man]] villain ''Sandman'' is an aversion. There was a long time in which he was a hero and even a reserve member of [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|the Avengers]], . During this time, he was just as powerful as he was while a villain. He was the powerhouse in Silver Sable's Wildpack and was shown to be the only member who could hang with Venom in a fight. He was also the only person to defeat a version of Doctor Octopus who had become [[A God Am I|extremely powerful]] and had defeated several other heroes.
* The USAgent first showed up in [[Captain America (comics)]] and while he was not a full fledged [[Big Bad]], he was still an [[Anti-Hero]] with shades of [[Sociopathic Hero]] due to mental tampering. In this state, he was a stronger and more evil version of Captain America who had a great deal of trouble bringing him down. Once USAgent calmed down a little, joined [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|the Avengers]], and became more of a standard hero, he was quickly turned into [[Badass Decay|Captain America-lite]]. In one recent issue, Captain America was implied to be stronger despite USAgent having superhuman strength as opposed to Cap.
* [[Sub-Mariner|Namor]] was technically an [[Anti-Hero]] at first but once he was brought into the [[Silver Age]] of comics, he was a villain for a few years. As a villain, he could single-handidly defeat the [[Fantastic Four]] and was dangerous enough that the [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|the Avengers]] would go out on patrols looking for him. As a hero, he often ends up in [[Worf Effect]] situations and [[Badass Decay|is usually not as powerful.]]
