Line 52:
* In the Mexican comic ''[[Memin]]'' (about a poor Black boy) a story had some bullies convince him that Black people never go to Heaven, no matter how good they are (claiming that the fact there are no pictures of Black angels proves it). Memin is so angry that he swears that if he's going to Hell, he'll rule it by being the most evil kid in the world! (of course, being a preteen his idea of evil acts are things like disrespecting his mother.) His friends hatch a plan to reform him by painting one of the angels in a Church (with the clergy's permission) Black and then show it to him. It worked.
* During a visit to Hell, [[Knightfall|Bane]] of the ''[[Secret Six]]'' discovered that despite being a [[Noble Demon]] (at least what he thought was one) he was still damned. He figures that since he's beyond redemption anyway, he might as well stop trying to be a half-assed antihero and embraces villainy. First order of business? Settle the score with [[Batman]] once and for all.
* While it never actually happens, ''[[Spider-Man]]'' comics have repeatedly teased the reader with the possibility of Spider-Man becoming a menace due to the [[All of the Other Reindeer]] mentality of the world around him. In the ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' comics, [[Nick Fury]] was particularly worried that all of the tragedy and bad publicity in Peter's life would drive him to villainy—and given the combination of Peter's intelligence, determination, and superpowers, that would be a very bad thing.
* Of course, the same can't be said of some of Spider-Man's foes; case in point, Lonnie T. Lincoln, aka the [[Evil Albino]] and [[Professional Killer]], Tombstone. Born in Harlem to African-American parents, Lonnie was a black man trapped in a white man's body, ostracized by his parents, teachers, and peers, who all called him a monster. Eventually, he decided that if he was a monster in their eyes, he'd literally become one, going so far as to file his teeth into sharp points simply to make himself look scarier.
