Line 2:
So you have a pair of [[Arch Enemy|Arch Enemies]]: a hero and a villain. And then...the villain gets interested in the hero.
The hero and villain are [[Not So Different|very similar to each other]], and both grow aware of that fact. But they have different reactions. While the villain ''[[Sincerity Mode|genuinely]]'' wants to take the hero under his or her wing, the hero is opposed to any friendly
If the hero and the enemy do end up becoming mentor and student, the ensuing relationship can range from [[Mind Rape|the worst kind]] of [[Training From Hell]] to a downright parental role. Both will still probably end up odd. And it'll end badly for at least one of them.
Line 17:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In the [[Ultimate Spider-Man]] line, the second Spider-Man, Miles Morales, is approached by his uncle, the super thief Prowler, for training. Little does he know, the Prowler needs Spider-Man to deal with the extremely powerful Maximus
* Some tellings of [[Spider-Man]] give him this sort of connection to [[Norman Osborn]], aka the Green Goblin. Especially when the Green Goblin's son is [[Why Are You Not My Son|not living up to his father's expectations]].
* In the ''[[Green Lantern]]'' comics, [[Sinestro]] has taken an interest in Soranik Natu, the current Lantern from his home planet of Korugar. Where Sinestro was hated for being a [[Knight Templar]] tyrant (and the next Korugarian Lantern, Katma Tui, was hated by proxy), Korugar is coming to love Soranik. Both are viewing the peoples' growing devotion to her as practically ''asking'' her to be a dictator herself, which Sinestro views as her bringing order where he can't anymore while Soranik is greatly troubled by it. And it's no help at all that {{spoiler|Sinestro is Soranik's biological father}}.
