* The White Witch from the ''[[Narnia]]'' series is revealed, in the prequel ''The Magician's Nephew'', to have originally been Jadis, Queen of the world of Charn. When [[Cain and Abel|her sister rebelled against her]], and came a bit too close to succeeding, Jadis used the ultimate magic spell, '[[Fantastic Nuke|The Deplorable Word]]', to extinguish all other life on the planet. [[Omnicidal Maniac|ALL of it.]] Then she [[Taken for Granite|petrified herself]], awaiting a time when visitors from another world would intrude on her crumbling sanctuary...
* The [[Pyromaniac]] and her girlfriend in ''[[Discworld/Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]'' go back to the orphanage that abused them in order to [[Kill It with Fire]]. And watch.

And all in his own hometown! He then proceeds to threaten the world of that army he initially joined, and eventually becomes such a threat to the universe, that the Angel of Death [[Place Beyond Time|traps him in the Haragad Cavity]] until the end of time so he can't learn sorcery. [[Subverted Trope|So much for]] [[Joker Immunity|the "I'm back" celebration]].
* In the short story "Basilisk" in the collection ''Deathbird Stories'' by [[Harlan Ellison]], a former POW returns home with [[Eye Scream|damage to his eyes]] and is [[What the Hell, Hero?|condemned by almost the entire populace]] for having cracked under torture. Then the god Ares decides to [[Eye Beams|heal his injuries]]. [[A God Am I|Penance ensues.]]
* In the ''[[Black Company|Annals of the Black Company]]'', the man known as "Erin NoFather, an unlanded priest of the god Vancer from Slinger, in the kingdom of Vye" eventually became the [[Big Bad|Dominator]].

Later he [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|laid waste to all of Vye]].
