Line 47:
** Wait, the Joker's insanity is power-related since ''when?'' Wasn't the point that he '''[[The Killing Joke|Just. Had. A. Bad. Day]]'''
*** [[Multiple Choice Past]], remember? It is possible that it was all just one bad day, or it could've been a lifetime of bad days. Regardless, many stories do portray the Joker's craziness as a superpower of sorts. It's because of his insanity that he's dangerous to the point of making even the most powerful villains in the DCU scared of him.
* The ''[[DC Comics]]'' [[Elseworld|Elseworlds]] story ''[[Superman: Red Son]]'' ends with Superman and Brainiac leading a Soviet invasion of Washington DC. President [[Lex Luthor]] stops Superman by {{spoiler|sending him a written message: "Why don't you just put the whole WORLD in a BOTTLE, Superman?", a not-so-subtle reference to the city of <s>Kandor</s> Stalingrad.}} Superman immediately breaks down.
** Lex himself gets one near the climax of All-Star Superman. {{spoiler|After a day of having Superman's powers, and knowing they're already fading, it finally sinks in to Lex that all he's done with them is blow stuff up.}}
* In ''[[Elf Quest]]'', this is [[Big Bad|Winnowill]]'s reaction when Leetah tries to heal her, forcing her to relive her memories of how and why she turned to evil, and of everything she's done since. Too proud to spend the rest of eternity angsting and atoning for it all, Winnowill tries to kill herself.
