** A lesser example is with Shriek, who was pressured into using his [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic weapons]] to kill Bruce Wayne by Powers in order to save his failing business. While at first he "only" intended to murder Bruce, once Batman causes him to go deaf by damaging the equipment that was protecting him from all the excess sound, he went insane and became a full-fledge supervillain with the sole goal of getting revenge on Batman.

** Another inversion (a villain creates a hero) is from "Chill of the Night!" Batman confronts Joe Chill (the man who murdered his parents) during a weapons auction, where many of his Rogues Gallery are in attendance. In the fight, Batman reveals to Chill that he's Bruce Wayne. Chill realizes that by killing Thomas and Martha Wayne, he inspired Bruce to fight crime. He's the reason Batman exists. In a panic, Chill admits this to the Rogues. They, of course, aren't amused (except for Joker; he thinks it's hilarious).

* And then there's this little stroke of brilliance from JediApprentice, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's backstory series. So, the Jedi council has this problem kid, Xanatos. Too much anger and whatnot. And they decide that hey, we're not sure we can trust him, we need to put him to the test. So they send him and his master to intervene in a conflict where his ''dad'' is the ManBehindTheMan, and everyone knows it, in the hopes that he'll screw up and they can boot him out. Well as it turns out, the plan works a little too well. Xanatos {{Face Heel Turn}}s, his Master is forced to kill his father, and he swears bloody revenge on the Temple, going on to become a CorruptCorporateExecutive and ManipulativeBastard out for Jedi blood, who spreads slavery and death wherever he goes, and targets Qui-Gon (his ex-master) and Obi-Wan at every turn. {{Nice Job Breaking It Hero}}es.

* In the ''StarWarsExpandedUniverse'', the Jedi Order inevitably ends up creating the Sith Order. Each time the Siths are wiped out, some Dark Jedi, recently separated from the Order, finds Holocrons left by a previous Sith Lord and the Order is born anew. The worst part is that this cycle has occured over ''half a dozen times''.
** Ajunta Pall creates what is presumably the original Sith order after being kicked out of the Jedi Order.
** Freedon Nadd, having left the Jedi order due to massive ego and rampant paranoia, finds the holocron of one of the old Sith Lords, and resurrects the order.
** Ditto for Exar Kun, who finds other Sith Holocrons and resurrects the Sith order.
** Revan breaks off from the Jedi to form a new Sith Order - in order to fight the remains of what he calls "the true sith".
** Revan's former Jedi Master, Kreia, leaves the Jedi to find out why he apprentice turned. She makes her own mini Sith order. Ironically, her goal was to destroy the force, as in a fit of GenreSavvy, she saw that as long as the Jedi existed, there would be a Sith order, and that their conflicts would inevitably doom the galaxy. So she sought to eliminate both.
** Darth Desolous ditches the Jedi because he thinks the Sith are cooler. Cue mini sith order on his homeworld.
** Darth Ruin leaves the Jedi, starting the order ''again'' and begins the New Sith Wars.
** And finally, with The Emperor having destroyed the Jedi Order, you'd think it's over no? Well... No. We have a Jedi Purge Survivor that starts a Sith order that would rise to power 100 years later. And Jedis from Skywalker's new Jedi Order jumping ship (one in particular who is even related to him!)
