* Ariel Sharon might be a real life subversion. After decades of warmongering and militant nationalism he finally began to work toward peace and pulled out of Gaza. Only to be hit by a stroke right afterwards. A subversion in that he didn't exactly die, just forced into a coma and was now completely incapacitated for life.

* Depending on how you view him, imperial commander [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi_Mori_<!-- 28commander29 Takeshi Mori]]'s refusal to side with the conspirators of the Kyujo incident, may count as redemption. His seal was still used to authorize the coup, which was prevented regardless of his standpoint, but he did die for refusing to support a conspiracy that could've resulted in millions of meaningless deaths. -->

* El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X). As a Muslim, he made the pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964. Now, if you are a Muslim, every single Muslim on this Earth is a member of your family; and in fact, all Muslims will address one another as "sister" and "brother." In the holy city of Mecca, Malcolm X found himself in the arms of his beautiful family, where every member gave love and took love equally regardless of class or color. And he was so profoundly moved by his treatment there, by experiencing true equality for perhaps the first time in his life, that he renounced Black supremacy and separatism; and spent the rest of his days arguing that racial equality was indeed possible through the transformative power of God. So then assassins killed him.
