* In the ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (~~Comic Book~~)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' Brainiac 5 set up Ultra Boy for a woman's murder, nearly killed Chameleon Boy, was planning to destroy the entire universe, and resolved the universe-destruction in a way that sent a former teammate hopelessly insane for years--but he was crazy, spent five issues in an insane asylum, was cured and welcomed back to the team with open arms. (This included their ignoring the murder he'd framed Ultra Boy for; a few years later a story was written establishing that someone else ''entirely'' had been responsible for the actual killing. Because just because you want to destroy the universe doesn't mean that you're so lost to morality as to commit one murder!)

* In the ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' it was discovered that the Human Torch's wife was actually a Skrull disguised as Alicia Masters. She agreed to help them get back the real Alicia & was believed killed on the mission. However her Skrull superior decided to give her superpowers so she could help him get revenge on the Fantastic Four, which she did until her [[Heel Face Turn]] & was allowed to stay with the FF & apparently had free run of their headquarters despite her untrustworthy history.

* In the first story arc of ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'', Cyclops joins Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil and helps him blow up civilian buildings (though he tries to give occupants time to escape). By the end of the arc, he's realized what an insane douchebag Magneto is and returns to the X-Men, and never are his actions called into question.
