* In one SpiderMan comic, Spidey tells a kid worried about molestation about a kid who was molested by an older friend. He then ends with saying that that kid was ''him'' (Peter). The older friend looked suspiciously like Uncle Ben, and was originally supposed to ''be'' Uncle Ben. Yeah.

* A ''VentureBros.'' episode has The Monarch, missing his family connections, trying to bond with his captives Hank and Dean with fresh baked cookies and taking their ineffectual fighting as good-natured roughhousing. The boys are overjoyed to be rescued, Hank claiming Monarch "was getting all 'creepy uncle' on us!" (Which, if you were really digging for clues, could imply Doc Venture and The Monarch are brothers?)

** Sgt. Hatred is a variation as well. He is first mentioned by Hank in a passing reference to the guy being so creepy that Dean has repressed the memories of being his prisoner (it's not explicitly stated that he was a pedophile, or that he had actually molested the boys, but the implication was there). Later he shows up as Doctor Venture's new arch-villain, but a few legal complications about how close he's allowed to be to any "beautiful young boys" come up here and there (the look of panic on his face when he shows up and the Doctor is running a day camp for preteen boys is priceless). Part of his eventual HeelFaceTurn involves taking a special serum that suppresses those impulses, so he's not an actual threat anymore, but now he LIVES IN THEIR HOUSE, and is still pretty creepy from time to time...

* Roman Emperor Claudius married his niece Agrippina - in ''IClaudius'' this is presented as a platonic political marriage to keep the character sympathetic. (Until then, Roman law forbade uncle-niece marriages, but it was changed.)
** Most ancient historians claim that the real Agrippina seduced Claudius and convinced him to marry her, since she wanted Claudius to adopt her teenage son Nero and make him his successor. (She succeeded; Nero rewarded her by having her killed.) She was also in her thirties at the time.

* There is a MagicTheGathering card called [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=108805 Uncle Istvan]], who certainly looks like this trope.
