Dragon Ascendant: Difference between revisions

* Santana Lopez in ''[[Glee]]'' seemed to be en route to this, taking over Quinn's role as the [[Alpha Bitch]] when Quinn's status as a [[Fallen Princess]] (she suddenly became unpopular when her pregnancy was revealed) made her do a [[Heel Face Turn]]. After Quinn had her kid, though, she first regained her status in the Cheerios and then half a season later both of them ended up quitting.

* ''[[Smallville]]'''s tenth season features the Vigilante Registration Agency (VRA) led by [[General Ripper|General Slade Wilson]]. Slade and his group provide a great deal of the conflict in the early half of the season, with Slade himself finally going down in the eleventh episode. That isn't the end however, as episode twelve's [[Villain of the Week]] is [[Sociopathic Soldier|Lieutenant Trotter]], Slade's aide de camp, who has taken over the VRA and directed it towards her mentor's agenda of taking down all the heroes. Only her defeat ensures the end of the persecution.

* The final episode of ''[[The Shadow Line (TV)|The Shadow Line]]'' has {{spoiler|[[Dragon-in-Chief]] Gatehouse killing his bosses and becoming the [[Big Bad]] proper}}.

* Subverted in ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''. After [[Big Bad|Venjix]] is seemingly destroyed in battle, his [[Dragon|Dragons]] decide to fight over who gets to assume the role of [[Big Bad]]. Tanaya 7 wins, but Venjix comes back online directly after that. He isn't too mad though.

* At the end of Season 1 of ''[[The Wire]]'', [[Big Bad]] Avon Barksdale is convicted of drug trafficking and sent to prison, but his right-hand man, Stringer Bell, who managed to avoid being caught on tape doing anything illegal, is left out on the street. Since Stringer is a lot smarter than Avon was, he proves to be even tougher to catch.

* [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]: After Gul Dukat is captured, Gul Damar steps into this role for a while though ultimately pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]] and becomes the hero of a Cardassian resistance against the Dominion.
