* Happens in an episode of [[Justice League]] where Superman is transported to the distant future. After being attacked by a pack of mutant wolves, he challenges their alpha, and is next seen using the wolves like sled dogs and wearing the alpha's hide like a cape.

* ''[[Archer]]'' becomes a pirate king after this trope happens. Another pirate tries to oust him by using an [[Elite Mook]] as a stand in, citing the pirate code as allowing this. Archer accepts the challenge, [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|and shoots him]].
