Line 32:
* General Spears in ''[[Alien|Aliens: Nightmare Asylum]]'' is a General Ripper on a remote colony who does not believe the heroes when they tell him that {{spoiler|Earth has been overrun by the Aliens.}} He has been training Aliens to be his own personal soldiers by training their Queen with Pavlovian responses to fire. The moment they touch down on Earth and he plans to defeat the entrenched natives, the Queen turns her drones on him. She hadn't learned to fear him--she had ''[[Nightmare Fuel|learned to be clever]]''.
* In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' 's Sonic Universe side-series, the demigod Enerjak is invincible, and makes a note to rub this in Silver(who is dueling)'s face. Upon mentioning that Silver is not strong enough, skilled enough, or wise enough to best him, Silver realizes Enerjak is correct. He proceeds to redirect Enerjak's attacks at him, actually cracking his armor and inflicting pain on the demigod for the first time in decades. Enerjak is promptly drained of his powers moments later.
* In an [[Archie Comics]] story, Veronica designs and creates a beautiful ballroom gown, planning to wear it to the biggest dance of the year; Cheryl Blossom steals it in order to show her up and be the center of attention. Unfortunately for Cheryl, while Veronica is a decent designer, she's a poor seamstress; the dress falls apart while she's wearing it. [[Defeat by Modesty|At the dance.]] Still, this is a [[Pyrrhic Victory]] for Veronica; while the result humiliates Cheryl, it also exposes her shoddy work.
