Line 20:
* In ''[[W.I.T.C.H.|WITCH]]'', Ari of Arkhanta (a farmer who enslaved a banshee to become powerful) carries a massive grudge against the Oracle of Kandrakar. The reason? Ari's son was born autistic, and the Oracle isn't doing anything to fix this.
* Superheroes in general tend to get blamed for whatever they couldn't/didn't do.
** For example: Spider-man fights Green Goblin over Gwen Stacy, [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die|Spider-man lets Gwen Stacy die]], Green Gobling gets [[Hoist by His Own Petard]], and Miles Warren [[Go Mad
** Of course, a more legitimate example of this is a big part of the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' mythos—before Peter actually became a superhero he [[Somebody Else's Problem|let a crook run past him]], only for said crook to murder [[Parental Substitute|Uncle Ben]] shortly afterward. His [[My Greatest Failure|guilt]] over the issue is what drives him to become a superhero in the first place.
* A random woman once berated [[Superman]] for being off-world during the "New Krypton" storyline—while trying to stop a war—while her husband was having an aneurysm. She thought Superman could have saved her husband with heat vision or something. Superman was the only person that actually took her seriously—everyone else in-universe and out thought she was crazy to expect that from Superman.
