Line 338:
* In ''[[Young Justice]]'', Superman tries to save Kroleteans about to be destroyed by a bomb hidden in their volcano base. {{spoiler|They don't believe him and keep attacking, so he fails}}.
* One interesting variation of the theme happened on ''[[Jem]]'', where a plane carrying both the Holograms and the Misfits crashed in the ocean several hundred feet from the shore of an island, and Jem has to rescue Stormer - who couldn't swim - from drowning. The big problem here was the water briefly interfering with Synergy's signal, and Stormer thinks ''Jerrica'' had saved her. Technically true, of course, but neither she nor the other Misfits know about her dual identity. Big problem. With the whole cast now marooned on an island and and the Misfits thinking Jerrica was alive but missing, suffice to say it caused problems.
* This Trope is Deconstructed in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode “Fecal Matters”. When Peter’s arch-nemesis Ernie the Giant Chicken is dying from terminal “bird flu” (and no longer wants to live, as his wife has left him for an even larger chicken) Peter (who isn't exactly a hero himself) does indeed save him via CPR, but does so entirely for selfish reasons, both because his obsession with their rivalry gives his life purpose, and because if Ernie died, he’d be solely responsible financially for all the damage their fights has caused.
