* ''[[Las Lindas]]'' has Alejandra to Mora. This is more a [[Deconstruction]] of the trope, since Mora doesn't really care and is more worried about keeping her farm up and running, Alejandra's near-overwhelming desire to crush Mora into dust mostly just harms her mental state and her company's reputation and financial state.
* Inverted in the webcomic ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', in which main character Roy Greenhilt is the Unknown Rival of the [[Big Bad]] Xykon, who's vaguely aware that there's a guy called Redpommel or something who swore revenge on him for some reason or other. Even after Roy personally thwarts his plans and destroys his body and lair, the most he gets from Xykon is the page quote.
** And more-than-likely the case with Ian Starshine, who thinks his own plan to topple Tarquin is significant to the latter, to the point that he (very, very falsely) believes that Elan was sent by Tarquin to infiltrate the Order of the Stick to get close to Haley and then, by extension, Ian himself. Tarquin hasn't said a single word about Ian since he was introduced, and his interest in Haley hasn't gone any farther than "she is Elan's girlfriend". When they actually meet, Tarquin fails to recognize Ian, though the fact that Ian's been in jail for a long time might have something to do with it.
* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' has Tiffany as unknown "archenemy" of Layla. Which isn't in any way noticeable to Layla, especially since they became best friends by the end of their second meeting.
