* In ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]'', Hades has managed to get Hercules to agree to give up his super-strength in exchange for Megara's survival and safety. So, what does Hades then do? While he's taking over Mount Olympus, he sends a giant Cyclops to attack Hercules, who will no doubt be with [[Love Interest|Megara]], thus making it highly likely that she will be harmed in the crossfire. And since the deal is immediately nullified if she's harmed, he has effectively insured that his plan will fail.
** Even better, the reason Hades did all this was because of a prophecy that was stated verbatum, "Should Hercules fight, you will fail." His super-strength was ''not'' [[Exact Words|stated as a requirement]]. So after sidelining Hercules, he then sends a giant Cyclops to basically ensure that Hercules does in fact fight. And naturally, Hades's plan fails.
