* ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'' had several (yes, several) mutinies by the resident GeneralRipper Captain Marcus against the BigGood, Admiral Winfield. Ended every time with him taking control of the fleet and being beaten like a red-headed stepchild by whatever enemy he went against. You'd think his subordinates would learn...
** Whaddaya mean several? The first couple times he takes over the fleet is because Winfield's incapacitated. Although, he did try TheHero JT Marsh for mutiny after Marsh tried to prevent him for doing something intensely stupid.
** Marcus takes command of the Exofleet exactly 2 times. The first time is because Winfield is injured during a battle with the pirates, not mutiny. The second time Marcus DID mutiny and it ended as bad as a mutiny possible could.

Because [[InsaneAdmiral he thinks Winfield has lost the will to fight the Neosapiens because he's determined that they rebuild the Exofleet first]]. Even though he knows that the Neosapiens outnumber even a full-strength Exofleet. Neadless to say, his mutiny ends as badly as it possibly could, with Exofleet decimated and Marcus himself shot down.

The second time Marcus DID mutiny Neosapiens (resulting in half the fleet being left behind -- and it ended as bad as a mutiny possible could.they were outnumbered to begin with) and then freezing up when the Neosapiens proved stronger. To say nothing of the fact he led Exofleet into several SpacePirate ambushes before that.

* StarFleetBattles includes the possibility of mutiny aboard heavily damaged Klingon ships. The backstory for the Klingon Empire in SFB states that the empire is composed of ethnic Imperial Klingons (the actual Klingon race proper) and numerous subject races. These subject races serve in significant numbers aboard Klingon warships often composing up to 75% of the crew. However, they are always in strictly support roles (boarding parties, manual labor, ect) and they are never taught how to operate the ships or weapons. Naturally, none are ever officers, let alone, put in command of a vessel. While not slaves, they are not considered politically dependable, which is why Klingon vessels have security stations to heavily monitor subject race crewmembers. If these stations are all destroyed in battle, the player must roll for mutiny. If a mutiny is successful, the ship falls under control of mutineeers and will surrender to the other player. If the mutiny is put down, the player need not roll again, as anyone else who would have tried it is probably already dead. The mainstream ''StarTrek'' universe does not have this issue with Klingon vessels as they are manned solely by the Klingon race. Any mutinies that might happen there would be instigated by other Klingons and would be seen as dishonorable.
