* In [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[Age of Apocalypse]]'', Sabretooth is an X-Man. In his backstory, he revolted when he learned that Apocalypse hired him for a much more lethal plan than he had realized, and he regards this as [[The Atoner|atonement]].
* [[Straw Feminist]] Superia was able to recruit what was likely the largest team of superhuman criminals to date by sponsoring a pleasure cruise for female super-criminals which would transport them to the island of Femizonia. Most assumed this was a free vacation, and when [[Captain America]] and Paladin showed up, the heroes were curb-stomped with ease. Unfortunately for Superia, her army wasn't all-too loyal when they discovered her true plans (she intended to launch missiles from Femizonia which would infect the Earth with a biological weapon designed to sterilize all females. Surrounded by the island's protective dome, Superia and her followers would be unaffected, thereby granting them a powerful bargaining position over the rest of the planet). Of the fifty villains recruited for the Feminzons, only ''three'' continued to support her after that (those three being three of her six lieutenants), and the plan was crushed.
* In [[Batman|Robin's own comic]], a teleporting supervillain named Dodge put together a team of fellow bad guys to [[Minor Injury Overreaction|avenge himself on Robin]]. He was doing well right up until he found The Cheater electrocuting Robin, at which point it was revealed that while (almost) all his minions were in it for murder, the leader himself was way out of his depth—he just wanted to humiliate his enemy. Then they decided that a teleporter was far too useful to allow to quit.
* In ''[[Archie Comics' Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' "Mobius: 30 Years Later Storyline", the Dark Presence frees [[Knight Templar|King Shadow]] in order to restore him to the throne. When they find out that Shadow is planning to [[Kill'Em All]], they flee, even quoting the trope name.
