** [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Because of the crimes of their Earth-7 counterparts]], many women fear Aquaman due to The Deep's actions (although Arthur [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling The Deep out]] in front of a group of the latter's victims/would-be victims helps them get over their fear of the King of the Seas). The same thing happens when Becca meets Superman, as she worries that he's no better than Homelander (although Supes quickly proves that he's ''nothing'' like him).

* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', [[EvilCounterpart Satan Girl]] shows how dangerous and terrifying it'd be a Pre-Crisis Kryptonian with nonexistent morals. She'll head-butt a planetoid out of orbit only for amusement.

* [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]] in the Teen Titans fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6263444/1/Transition Transition]]. Out of the four metahumans affected by the SwirlyEnergyThingy, only Beast Boy plays this trope straight when his attempts to find Raven result in him SlowlySlippingIntoEvil. By contrast, Terra starts blaming herself for Raven's disappearance and becomes suicidal, but ultimately stays good. Meanwhile, Raven and Jinx both develop EnlightenmentSuperpowers (which was what the SwirlyEnergyThingy was supposed to do in the first place), but other people's paranoia that they'll play it straight (mostly the police and Batman) inadvertently leads them to wreak havoc before the situation is cleared up and they can fix everything.

* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''/''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' crossover ''Fanfic/TheVampireOfSteel'', [[BigBad Zol-Am]] was an evil asshole long before being turned. Now he's an evil asshole of a vampire with powers greater than a regular Kryptonian. And he's hungry.
