== Comics ==
 
* All of Earth's [[Pre Crisis]] superheroes to the current DC Universe especially the Monitor. They fought and defeated the Anti Monitor and sealed a single universe inside the essence of the Monitor. Then the universe was restarted twice with big bangs. None of the [[Post -Crisis]] stories would have happened without the [[Pre Crisis]] heroes. [[Infinite Crisis]] then turns this into a strange case of the [[Benevolent Precursors]] ''becoming'' the [[Sealed Evil in A Can]].
 
== Film ==
Line 50:
* Most of the upgrades in ''[[Metroid]]'' Samus Aran finds during her adventures have been left there by the Chozo, who foresaw that she would be needing them in the future. With Samus's [[Parental Substitute|relationship with the Chozo]] taken into account, this could almost count as an inversion of [[Abusive Parents]].
* The Masari count towards this in ''[[Universe At War]]'', guiding humanity's development and watching over them. When Earth is attacked by the game's Big Bad several alarms are tripped and the Masari begin coming out of hibernation [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant|The results were predictable.]]
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', when some cosmic force gave the Cetra the Black Materia, a magical stone capable of destroying the entire Planet, they transmuted it into a form in which it could not be used: a giant pyramid-shaped temple. [[BellisariosBellisario's Maxim|(Just go with it.)]] The temple cannot be entered without a Keystone, which was supposedly hidden after the temple was finished. The temple itself is populated with bloodthirsty monsters and avatars of the Cetra to deal with trespassers. The room containing the device for un-transforming the temple has a sequential mural depicting the shit that's gonna go down if it gets used. As a last resort, if the Temple is changed back into the Black Materia, it crushes anybody inside, including the person that activates the device.
* The Orions in ''[[Master of Orion]]''. They [[Sealed Evil in A Can|sealed away]] the [[Omnicidal Maniac|Antarans]] in a pocket dimension and left their own homeworld protected by the Guardian, in order to keep away races that [[You Are Not Ready|weren't ready]] to handle their super-powerful technology.
* Those Who Came Before in the ''[[Assassin's Creed (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed]]'' series started out pretty abusive what with creating and enslaving humanity with their Pieces of Eden. The combination of a slave revolt and a solar flare that nearly destroyed all life on Earth changed that. Before dying off, Those Who Came Before worked together with humanity to rebuild the world, and they left behind tools and knowledge (in the form of the Pieces of Eden) to give humanity a fighting chance when the next solar flare hits Earth.
