Once they found the site for their settlement, however ...
{{quote|'''Jebediah:''' People, our search is over. On this site we shall build a new town, where we can worship freely, govern justly and grow vast fields of hemp for making ropes and blankets.
'''Shelbyville:''' Yes, and [[Kissing Cousins|marry our cousins]].
'''Jebediah:''' I was - wha ... what are you talking about, Shelbyville? Why would we want to marry our cousins?

*:* In ''Steal This Episode'', a person said that he wanted to go after serial killers, not media pirates. He gets taunted for this, while the rest enforced [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]] clause. Remember one thinks [[Fridge Logic| about it]], the guy has a point since the FBI seem to be focus on media piracy than with other known crime rings.
* In ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', Gorilla Grodd assembles a new Legion of Doom, but, aside from opposing the Justice League, keeps their long term goals largely to himself.

** {{spoiler|Hawkgirl}} willingly signed on to infiltrate Earth and learn the weaknesses and abilities of the planet's society, military strength and its heroes in order to {{spoiler|help the Thanagarians subjugate the planet to build their hyperspace bypass. Once she learns the bypass will destroy the Earth, she defects and helps the League destroy it.}}
