The Big Bad has a loyal minion who has been feeling... somewhat less than loyal recently. Maybe they met the heroes and liked them. Maybe they discovered more than a few reasons to believe that their master wasn't as nice as he seemed. Maybe they're not sure they approve of the current plot. Maybe they just learned what the plan really was. And seeing how The Leader on the other side treats their allies might be the cherry on top. Whatever the reason, they are pondering a difficult dilemma. Remain loyal or betray the boss? Fortunately, the Big Bad is willing to help them come to a decision. They immediately start doing everything in their power to make the minion feel hurt and miserable, possibly going as far as putting the minion through a Humiliation Conga, thus perfectly solidifying and justifying the inevitable Almost-Any-Face Turn. Villains who think It's All About Me are particularly prone to this — and particularly prone to being shocked when the minion leaves. Double that if the minion hooks up with the other side (and triple if it is a High-Heel–Face Turn). Evil Cannot Comprehend Good is often, though not always, an element in their motivations. A particularly Magnetic Hero can usually tip the balance in their favor with a few kind words, or just by showing how they treat their friends. Indeed, when the villain goes for Flaw Exploitation, endangering their minions to force the hero to save them, or just leaving them in danger because they know the hero will save them, the contrast is generally as vivid as it gets. A rarer variant is when a good, but not nice character mistreats their sidekick, who has enough of being the underdog and becomes a villain. (See Who's Laughing Now? for more.) Not to be confused with Even Mooks Have Loved Ones, where the minion considers betraying the boss for being cruel to their friends or relatives. Contrast Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand. Watch out for Heel–Face Door-Slam. Cross your fingers for Redemption Earns Life. Compare Rebellious Rebel, where the original discovery of the villain's treachery motivates their defection, and Cornered Rattlesnake, where a character or group is pushed to the breaking point and fights back. See also Defecting for Love. When the villain's words and acts draw the character, see Bring Them Around. If the minion in question ends up betraying and finishing off their former boss without actually defecting to the other side, it is The Dog Bites Back. Contrast with its polar opposite, Because You Were Nice to Me. SPOILERS for many Heel Face Turns follow. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): San, after being severed from Ghidorah and fusing himself to Dr. Vivienne Graham, ultimately opts not to return himself and Vivienne to Ghidorah's side at all, as he sides with defending and nurturing his new sister Vivienne and the things she cares about, which, by extension, puts him on the side of humanity and Godzilla. While Ichi and Ni's (Ghidorah's other two heads') abuse of him isn't the only reason why San makes a Heel–Face Turn and becomes The Atoner, their constant ill treatment of him certainly ensured that San had little to no real loyalty to them or reason to want to go back to them once he found something better, which made San's turn to the good side all the easier. | |

In Heralds of Valdemar, Nyara hasn't known friendship or kindness since she was younger. She and her siblings were used as a Guinea Pig Family for her Abusive Dad, Mornelithe Falconsbane, as he tested mutations he wanted to use on himself on them. Only Nyara survived, as he killed the "failures". He also installed a Villain Override on her, enjoying that she loved and needed and despised him. She runs away early in Winds of Fate, helping his enemies out of spite and Enlightened Self-Interest, and immediatley doubles down on resisting him when he calls her back so he can use what she's learned to hurt the very people who took her in and were good to her. Nyara goes as far as attacking him after he hurts Skif. | |

In Blood Rites Lara Raith has been abused, mentally and sexually, by her father for decades. Her mind is very eager to turn against him but fear of his terrifying power kept her from acting. When Harry gets him to confess that he has no power or means of replenishing it until the descendants of the woman who cursed him are killed, namely Harry, and even Lara can be replaced if she proves to be an inconvenience to him, it is enough for her to break free and take him down. | |

A proxy example in the case of X-23: At first, Dr. Sarah Kinney was firmly For Science! in the creation of the Opposite-Sex Clone of Wolverine, but as her immediate superior, Xander Rice's, abuse of the girl mounted (highlights: constant physical and emotional torture, placing her in the care of a psychopathic handler, exposing her to lethal doses of radiation at the age of seven to forcibly activate her Healing Factor, and denying her anesthesia at the same age during the surgery to rip out her claws one by one to bond them with adamantium) combined with the project lead's apathy (if not complicity) in the abuse, she grows increasingly disillusioned with the project and is finally driven to turn X loose on the installation and escape. Considering X herself spent ten minutes beating Rice to death with her bare hands, it was just a tiny bit personal for her, as well. | |

Advice and Trust: Shinji was abandoned by his father Gendo when he was four, Asuka was also abandoned by her father when she was four and then trained to be a Child Soldier, they have been used like disposable and replaceable weapons for Gendo and then fired when he thought he had a replacement who would not disobey their orders, and in chapter 7 they found that their mothers' deaths were not "accidents"... in summary, they are turning on Nerv. | |

In Experience Boost, Orhan loses practically all of the Order of Swords membership this way. His treatment of Theron and xMurderBanex directly leads to Theron exposing his collaboration with the Legion and Blackmail of Vedrana, causing half the guild to leave. The other half quits en masse after he explodes on his guildmates following a series of failed raids in a personal vendetta against Vedrana's raid progress. | |

Magneto: As a Bad Boss, one shouldn't be surprised that the majority of times his underlings betray him it is motivated by abuse. The king of mistreatment-induced betrayals where Magneto is concerned is his long-time sycophant the Toad, who Mags used to, in Toad's own words, "Insult me, hit me, order me around like a slave◊". Unsurprisingly Toad eventually reached a breaking point and more than once turned on Magneto, though tragically his borderline abused housewife mentality leads him to just keep returning to Mags's side. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, who also endured Magneto at his worst, left his side to join the Avengers and never looked back. |

In the series House, Chase is willing to feed information to the new Hospital board member and owner-in-all-but-name Vogler in exchange for favors after House is particularly rude and disrespectful to him (just before Vogler's arrival, House was abstaining from Vicodin for a week and actually hit Chase in the face while going through withdrawal). Interestingly, Chase isn't portrayed as particularly unsympathetic for doing this, save for House giving him tedious job assignments for a while as payback. By House's own admission he's an ass, and the other reason the other members of the team didn't turn against him as well is that Foreman didn't trust Vogler and Cameron has a deeply misguided crush on House. | |

Project Riribirth has an unusual example: Riri Williams goes after Tony in part because he was too nice to her, not too mean. As Riri sees it, if Tony hadn't overpraised her and convinced her that she was one of the world's strongest heroes, Riri wouldn't have jumped into a fight way above her weight class and gotten the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that ended her superhero career permanently. | |

Kevin & Kell: Edgar Carnassial, a male lion, has been on both sides of this trope: His first girlfriend, tigress Rhonda, had growing issues with his normal male lion characterization of not hunting. As a result, she took an online relationship on Ninth Life. When it turned out that the relationship was with hedgehog Quinn Rabelai, the betrothed partner of Lindesfarne Dewclaw, she was willing to elope with him to break up the betrothal and permit Lindesfarne to marry her fiancé, Fenton Fuscus. Edgar tried to hunt Quinn's adoptive parents, a pair of rabbits, as revenge but was beaten up by Rhonda, not only taking out her frustration over his traits but proving herself an ideal wife for Quinn. This went the other way with his second girlfriend, lioness Leona Mangle. Being the daughter of a widowed male lion, she helped Edgar with hunting and being a better boyfriend. But when they graduated Caliban Academy and went off to Beige University, Leona joined a sorority and began to neglect her relationship with Edgar. This drove him into the arms of a rabbit, Miranda Hutch, and led to a messy breakup. Marty left Herd Thinners for Dewclaw's Fine Meats because he noticed "polar bear" (his species) on the menu for a Christmas celebration. Of course, it could've been a Red Herring, as when Angelique notified R.L. of Marty's defection, R.L. defied his usual Super-Persistent Predator characterization and let him go, reasoning he was no longer carrying his weight, but also wasn't even worth the effort to retaliate against. |

In Aladdin: The Return of Jafar, Iago does this right at the start of the film after having been bullied by Jafar one time too many. It's not a Heel–Face Turn right at the outset, and in fact, Iago does wind up unwillingly working with Jafar again, but it provides the spark, with the kindness of Aladdin and his friends eventually providing the rest of the motive for Iago to fully change sides. | |

The Dragon and the Butterfly (Encanto & How to Train Your Dragon): Hiccup, after years of bullying and neglect from the people of Berk, finally finds a friend in Toothless the Night Fury. Once the two are discovered, Hiccup directly defies Stoick's orders, frees Toothless from a public execution, and the two fly away. The Vikings see this as a betrayal, as only cowards flee. However, it's made clear that Hiccup had no other choice: he could allow Toothless to die, or the two could run away and try to find a place they could live free. | |

There is an issue in X-Wing Rogue Squadron involving Sixtus, an elite member of Imperial Special Intelligence. He competed with the Rebels to impress someone so they would hand over a smuggler his superior wanted, and although the Rebels fought valiantly, Sixtus won. But, while they were competing, his superior went behind Sixtus's back, stole the smuggler, and lifted off, abandoning the trooper and thirteen of his companions on Ryloth. Ryloth's laws mean that if they can't get transport, they get sold into slavery. So when the Rebels took them out for a drink and offered a chance to get revenge on that superior, they accepted. They didn't become Rebels themselves right away, but from the novel The Bacta War, we know that they came around eventually. | |

The Duke of Buckingham in Richard III is a classic example: he helps Richard to the throne with the understanding that he'll get land and another title in return. When he goes to Richard to remind him of this promise, Richard first ignores him, then yells at him, at which point Buckingham promptly defects to the side of the rebels. Or tries to; he's found out pretty darn quickly and killed. Lord Stanley, on the other hand, gains nothing at all, is treated as a Butt-Monkey servant, and defects successfully. | |

This is Doug Furnas' justification for joining Team Canada in the build for the Survivor Series match against Team USA. When he and Phil Lafon got into a car accident, he stated that they've received get-well-soon wishes from people throughout the world except those in his home country America. This embarrassment was enough reason for him to turn against America and side with Team Canada. | |

Naruto: A variant in which the mistreated underlings turn evil happens in one filler episode. Kunihisa's helpers, whom he summons by throwing money (for example, throwing money at something he wants them to retrieve, or paying them to dress up like him in a crude imitation of the Shadow Clone Jutsu) turn on him and assist the people trying to kidnap him when he runs out of money. In canon, Karin gives up on Sasuke after he shoots a Chidori Blade through her to get to Danzo, and abandons her for being weak... but she goes back to faithfully working for him once she meets him afterwards. |

Parodied in 8-Bit Theater. Black Mage is fully and truly Chaotic Evil, yet the noble (and dense) Fighter believes him to be a true hero who's just misunderstood. This despite the fact that Black Mage constantly kills innocent civilians in the most gruesome ways possible, betrays his own team and even stabs Fighter in the head whenever he can. In fact, Fighter doesn't turn against Black Mage until the latter — on a power trip fueled by Hell itself and power absorbed from his own clone — inadvertently stabs White Mage through the chest with a spiky black tentacle thing while showing off. They then prepare to battle... but get interrupted and go back to being on the same team five minutes later. The conflict has not been mentioned since. | |

A major plot point in Season 3 of Narcos. Jorge Salcedo is a security expert who worked for the Cali Cartel for many years. After learning of their plan to go legit in six months, he plans to retire and start his own legit security business. However, Miguel Rodriguez, one of the leaders of the Cartel forces him to stay on, throwing a wrench into his plans. It's also revealed that despite his expertise, and providing solid security for the Cartel for years, he isn't respected by many members of the Cartel because he refuses to get blood on his hands, including David Rodriguez who constantly looks for an excuse to kill him, but is stopped by his father Miguel. After seeing his best friend and fellow security head tortured and murdered by David along with his wife for the arrest of Gilberto Rodriguez, which wasn't his fault, Salcedo realized he's expendable despite his loyalty and contacts the two DEA agents in Cali. He makes a deal in exchange for him and his family getting out and put into witness protection. | |

However, when Dr. Facilier offers him a deal to betray the prince so that he won't be pushed around anymore, Lawrence doesn't hesitate for a moment to accept the deal. | |

In Angel Sanctuary, Abaddon had been imprisoned and chained by Astaroth for eons and tortured for no reason other than Astaroth's lust for sadism. When Kurai enters Hell to become Lucifer's latest bride, and therefore Abaddon's stepmother, she ends up being nice to him and gaining his immediate trust and loyalty. Once Abaddon realizes that Astaroth is planning to 'hurt mama' (Kurai), he chews off his hand to escape his chains and kills Astaroth to save Kurai. | |

In Harry Potter, a couple of Voldemort's lieutenants go this way. A big deal is made of Voldemort's inability to comprehend human emotion and how he doesn't trust (or even particularly like) his underlings. Severus Snape defected from the Death Eaters and became a spy for Dumbledore after Voldemort decided to kill the Potters, endangering his childhood love, Lily Evans (now Potter, yes as Harry's mother). Granted, it was a bit more complicated; Voldemort did make some effort in sparing Lily, but she refused to move out the way and let Harry die and Snape joining was also for him being The Atoner. The only reason Voldemort went after the Potters in the first place was because of a prophecy that Snape overheard and told Voldemort himself. In a Face–Heel Turn variation, this is what causes Kreacher to betray Sirius to the Death Eaters in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Sirius was justifiably upset at being forced to live in a house he hates with a painting that constantly hurls verbal abuse at him and a house elf that does the same. But Sirius's mistake was that he took out his anger on Kreacher, who was working for the hated Black family but had not actually caused Sirius harm in any way. Well, not caused Sirius harm before the "betrayal" part, anyway. It was Harry realizing this and extending his hand to Kreacher that causes the house-elf to truly become an ally to Harry. A mild Face–Heel Turn version: Percy Weasley is constantly pranked, insulted, and mocked by his siblings, particularly his twin brothers, while Harry Potter is quickly welcomed into the Burrow as practically an adopted son. Percy never directly witnesses any of Harry's heroics in the first four books (well, outside of saving his brother in Book 4), so it's not that surprising that when he is given a promotion at the Ministry of Magic, a promotion which his father Arthur Weasley flat out says he didn't earn and that his boss only wants to use Percy to spy on the Order, etc, he shuns all contact with his family, determined to prove that he is not the sort of man who blindly follows Dumbledore like all the other Weasleys supposedly do. Unfortunately, Dumbledore turned out to be right, and Arthur probably wasn't far off the mark either. (Even if he was less than tactful about it in the heat of the moment.) |

In Attack on Titan, several of these feature as significant events. The internal conflicts within the government come to a head when the announcement of an attack on Wall Rose reaches the capital. The commanders of the military begin preparing for a defensive operation, to buy time for as many people to evacuate as possible. Their efforts are interrupted by the nobles, who order that Wall Sina be immediately sealed and the residents of Wall Rose left to die. The military does not take kindly to being ordered to leave their own families to die. It turns out to have been a Secret Test of Character on Erwin's part, creating a false emergency to see what the government would do. Having seen that the government only cares for themselves, the military overthrows them and begins seizing their property to redistribute to the people. The events of the series turn out to have been heavily shaped by one such occurrence in the past. Grisha and Dina Yeager's attempts to mold their son, Zeke, into a Tyke Bomb led him to eventually betray La Résistance to the authorities, having caught wind of the authorities closing in and knowing that it would be the only way to avoid sharing his parents' fate. Their group was rounded up, and executed via being turned into mindless Titans. While Grisha was saved from this fate and entrusted with the Attack Titan's power, his wife was not so fortunate. Dina was transformed after promising they would find each other again. This would lead her mindless Titan to relentlessly stalk the Yeager family, leading to the deaths of Carla Yeager and Hannes when she tried to attack Eren. And as for Zeke, his actions placed him into the good graces of the Marleyan government, allowing him to grow up to become the leader of the Warriors and the bearer of the Beast Titan. |

The Dresden Files: In Blood Rites Lara Raith has been abused, mentally and sexually, by her father for decades. Her mind is very eager to turn against him but fear of his terrifying power kept her from acting. When Harry gets him to confess that he has no power or means of replenishing it until the descendants of the woman who cursed him are killed, namely Harry, and even Lara can be replaced if she proves to be an inconvenience to him, it is enough for her to break free and take him down. White Night has a unique version with guaranteed mistreatment to come causes the betrayal when Harry gets Lash, the shadow of a Fallen Angel in his head, to admit if Harry does take up the Coin of Lasciel, she will effectively be killed by being reabsorbed into the true Fallen. As she has existed in Harry's head for years, she is more than just the simple copy of the ageless Fallen. This was one step in the many that would lead Lash to choose to fully separate herself from the Fallen Angel and become something different. |

As soon as Nigel gives her what she wants, Selena transforms him into an old man out of sheer spite and ditches him once again. Later she decides he may still be useful after all, so she holds him hostage to force Supergirl to back off. By this point, though, Nigel is so thoroughly sick of her antics that he turns on Selena and helps Supergirl beat her. | |

Luthor's deeply creepy treatment of his brainwashed replacement Superman in the Superman: Doomsday movie. It's a disturbing cross of Abusive Parent and Foe Romance Subtext, and his eventual "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it" both inspires the betrayal and gives Cloneboy the hint to look inside his own skull for a lead-wrapped Kryptonite bomb, and carve it out. Mind you, you can't say Cloney Heel Face Turns; Lex's whole threat-inducing problem with him is how fast he's careening into Knight Templar Beware the Superman territory. He just turns on Lex, and then slaughters the whole clone army while they're still in their pods, because there aren't going to be any evil Supermen on his watch, nuh-uh. Just a terrifying one. And while he'd killed a murderer he only threatened the old woman with the cat, and blew up the guns of cops trying to arrest him... Anyone familiar with the character of Post-Crisis Superboy, Conner Kent, finds this especially freaky since it's like his origin story gone all wrong. Well, wronger than it was to begin with. | |

Inuyasha: Naraku kept Kagura's heart in his possession at all times as insurance against betrayal. Kagura got so sick of Naraku treating her like a slave she actively colluded with the good guys anyway. Probably remembering the end that Kagura came to, Kanna gave Naraku the metaphorical finger by dying of suicide as ordered, but without taking Inu-Yasha and his True Companions with her. She even gives Kagome advice on Naraku's weakness when one shard hits her eye. | |

He won't cross them, but if they cross him, he's not holding back. When he falls out of favor with Diamondback, Diamondback sends Zip to kill him off. Shades kills Zip and his men, and then he and Mariah try to form a truce with Luke Cage to get rid of Diamondback. In season 2, he has a falling out with Mariah after she massacres a restaurant of innocent people to smoke out Bushmaster, and ultimately turns himself in to Misty and agrees to work with the police to recover a gun Mariah used at said massacre (and which Shades himself had used a year ago to kill Candace). | |

And then he threatened dire punishments to whoever learnt about his ploy. The funny part is he was seriously shocked when everyone turned against him. | |

In Claymore Miria attempts to overthrow the Organization on her own and without killing or seriously hurting any of her former Claymore companions still loyal to the Organization, but is eventually defeated. The other Claymores are expected to execute Miria for being a traitor but then decide to pull a Death Faked for You in Miria's favour and join the rebellion. This change of heart is caused by the Claymores' realization that Miria was the only one who gave any importance to their own lives, as opposed to the Organization's attitude which ranges from "We Have Reserves" to downright "You Have Outlived Your Usefulness". | |

If Wishes Were Ponies (Harry Potter & My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic): Several Muggleborns were unable to secure magical jobs due to their muggle origins and retreated into the Muggle World to survive. Unfortunately, because they had no provable secondary education, they were forced to take jobs in the military. Needless to say, when Equestria makes First Contact and reveals the existence of magic to the British muggles, most of the Muggleborns are quite eager to help the government out with their findings on the Wizarding World and their defense against them because of how they were treated. When Dolores Umbridge tries to initiate a kidnapping of Ambassador Blueblood within the Prime Ministers' own office, it triggers a stasis trap that ensnares Umbridge and Fudge as the two people responsible for creating the laws that treated Muggleborns like crap are then held at both gunpoint and Wandpoint by British Service Agents. | |

Ultimate Marvel: The Ultimates: After so many times being kept prisoner, thrown as a weapon at dangerous foes, and then captured and jailed again, Hulk joined the Maker, Kang, and Quicksilver, becoming openly evil in the process. Ultimate X Men: Magneto's abuse of the twins eventually drives them to defect to the Ultimates, but even before Quicksilver robs Magneto of his helmet in the latter's first fight with the X-Men. Wolverine probably wouldn't have defected Weapon X if they'd treated him with, if not kindness, at least basic professional courtesy. Instead, Weapon X treated him like a dog they liked to abuse, caging up and shooting him just for fun and such. |

In Jurassic Park (1990), Nedry chooses to sell Ingen's secrets to its competitors in large part because Hammond was such a cheapskate and Bad Boss, having forced Nedry to program the park's entire computer network by himself (instead of hiring a full team of programmers) while paying him low wages and keeping him on the island for long periods of time. So much for sparing no expense. | |

Mazinger Z: Baron Ashura was mostly loyal to Dr. Hell, who felt that he was above of executing his subordinates but not of punishing their failures with strikes, insults or torture. Due to this sometimes he got fed up with being mistreated and mocked and he disobeyed orders or acted on his/her own (the final time was when he stole the fortress Ghoul to make a kamikaze attack on the Institute in order to show all, Dr. Hell and his enemies, who he was. In Gosaku Ota's alternate manga, he went a step beyond that and he decided to betray Dr. Hell and Take Over the World on his/her own because he was "sick of that crazy old man and that headless idiot (Count Brocken) always mocking him" and he intended to give them a lesson to everyone. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Carina, after being threatened with being rendered part of his collection by The Collector, takes the opportunity to seize the Infinity Stone rather than live as his slave, knowing that it will destroy her, and in the process destroys a huge chunk of his collection and denies him the second stone. Both Gamora and Nebula seem to hate Thanos for (in Gamora's case that we know of, possibly Nebula's too) killing her family, and being reshaped into weapons to serve him. Gamora betrays him to keep the orb away from him, and Nebula sides with the genocidal Ronan because he's going to use his new power against Thanos next. |

The Order of the Stick: In the prequel Start of Darkness, Right-Eye is this in regards to Xykon's irresponsibility to the lives of his partners/subordinates. While his brother Redcloak was willing to suffer in silence if it meant staying in Xykon's good graces and having his help with The Plan, Right-Eye soon decided enough was enough and tried to, in order; 1) Get a wizard with a Blood Oath of Vengeance to kill Xykon for him, 2) Run away from The Plan entirely and start a family, and 3) kill Xykon himself. It ultimately doesn't end well for Right-Eye. A double invocation when Haley points out to Golem Crystal that it would have been much cheaper for Bozzok to resurrect Crystal than go through all the trouble of creating a flesh golem that could feel pain and have all the memories and emotions of Crystal. She then attacks Bozzok saying that he made her this way. When Bozzok asks Grubwiggler for help, he refuses, given that Bozzok had interfered with his work too many times to help him out (thus invoking the trope for the second time). Things don't end well for Bozzok. When V dominates Yukyuk to fight against Zz'dtri, he initially tries to resist V's commands to shoot Zz'dtri, but when Zz'dtri tries to use an instant-kill spell to eliminate him, he obeys V's mental orders much more readily. |

One of WWE's best Heel Face Turns of the early 90s was that of Virgil, Ted DiBiase's bodyguard and Beleaguered Assistant. In 1990, DiBiase began taking Virgil for granted and abusing his services, to the point of boasting about it in interviews, knowing Virgil would just take it because he needed the money. Come Royal Rumble 1991, DiBiase berated him after a match for a mistake and demanded he put the Million Dollar Championship around his waist. He got the belt all right - right in the face, to the biggest pop of Virgil's career. | |

In Labyrinth, if Jareth had settled on just giving Hoggle orders then there would have been no problem, especially since Hoggle is a dyed-in-the-wool misanthrope. However, Jareth just can't seem to stop insulting Hoggle, belittling him, physically mistreating him, and issuing dire threats (it was probably his threat to dump Hoggle into the Bog Of Eternal Stench that finally tipped the scales). The manga reveals that Jareth makes good on his threat. | |

Cersei spends the whole of A Feast for Crows in her capacity as regent for King Tommen insulting and ignoring the advice of her brother Jaime, her uncle Kevan and Grand Maester Pycelle (as well as periodically threatening the latter with imprisonment and/or death), both alienating them and running Westeros into the ground. When the (thanks to Cersei) newly empowered Faith Militant imprison Cersei on charges of treason and adultery, Jaime ignores her pleading request to be her champion in a Trial by Combat, while Kevan and Pycelle leave her in jail, strip her sycophants of power and get to work trying to fix the mess Cersei made. | |

In The War Is Far from Over Now, roughly 75% of the agents burned by Black Widow and Captain America dumping SHIELD's files online stick with Stark Industries and refuse to return to the reformed SHIELD. Their most common tactic when called is summed up as "New phone, who dis?" Some SHIELD agents get the idea and play it off as mistaking them for someone else. Others (very foolishly) try to get insistent. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Luke Cage (2016): Hernan "Shades" Alvarez is absolutely loyal to whoever he's working for and won't snitch. But if it's clear his employer is losing it, he will find a new employer. He won't cross them, but if they cross him, he's not holding back. When he falls out of favor with Diamondback, Diamondback sends Zip to kill him off. Shades kills Zip and his men, and then he and Mariah try to form a truce with Luke Cage to get rid of Diamondback. In season 2, he has a falling out with Mariah after she massacres a restaurant of innocent people to smoke out Bushmaster, and ultimately turns himself in to Misty and agrees to work with the police to recover a gun Mariah used at said massacre (and which Shades himself had used a year ago to kill Candace). Iron Fist (2017): Ward Meachum's constant use as his resurrected father's puppet eventually leads him to turn against Harold and begin actively working with Danny. |

White Night has a unique version with guaranteed mistreatment to come causes the betrayal when Harry gets Lash, the shadow of a Fallen Angel in his head, to admit if Harry does take up the Coin of Lasciel, she will effectively be killed by being reabsorbed into the true Fallen. As she has existed in Harry's head for years, she is more than just the simple copy of the ageless Fallen. This was one step in the many that would lead Lash to choose to fully separate herself from the Fallen Angel and become something different. | |

Stargate SG-1: Richard Woolsey started off as an Obstructive Bureaucrat on the series. Then he realized that he was working for the bad guys when Robert Kinsey, firmly clutching his Villain Ball, basically told him. Also how Teal'c — and Bra'tac, for that matter — are introduced, as First Primes looking to undermine the Goa'uld. In Continuum Teal'c is loyal to Ba'al — precisely because Ba'al realized the other System Lords were being idiots and that by supporting the free Jaffa he could get an effective and loyal army from within their ranks, without having to worry about being betrayed by them. It worked. At the same time, when Qetesh is threatening Ba'al's life, instead of doing everything he can to save him, Teal'c writes off Ba'al as dead (which is true, as Qetesh never intended to let him go) and opts to go to Ba'al's time machine. Also happens in a Stargate Atlantis episode where an IOA investigator comes to review Woolsey's performance. Woolsey, himself being a former IOA lapdog, quickly realizes that the "review" is basically an excuse to replace him with someone more loyal to the IOA party line, like the investigator herself. An alien being fakes a transmission to the investigator from the IOA informing her that they have decided to go with someone else as a replacement for Woolsey. Angry at this backstab, she officially notes Woolsey's performance as satisfactory in order to ruin the IOA's plans. |

The season finale of Crime Story had mobster Ray Luca on top of the world running his organization's Vegas operation. This was somewhat boring for the career criminal so he ended up sleeping with a fellow mobster's wife and then raping his sidekick's girlfriend.

It appears that this trope is being set up in General Hospital with FBI Agent Leeds and her hard-ass boss Raynor, especially with all the attention she's giving Spinelli. (Of course, the mobsters are the heroes in this story...) | |

In World Class Championship Wrestling, Kerry Von Erich wrestled Ric Flair for the NWA World Championship in a Steel Cage match with two of his allies Michael "PS" Hayes and Terry Gordy of the Fabulous Freebirds serving as special guest referee and enforcer respectively. A confrontation between Flair and Hayes led to the latter knocking out the former as Hayes then coerced Kerry to take the fall but he refused, stating that he didn't want to win the title that way. This lead to an argument between them which lead to Gordy suggesting that they just leave him. As Hayes left the cage, Flair pushed Von Erich from behind into Hayes. Believing that Von Erich deliberately pushed his partner, Gordy slammed the cage door into Von Erich as Hayes then count the fall for Flair, leading him to retain the title and starting one of the biggest feuds in the company between the Von Erichs and Freebirds. | |

Immortal Hulk: General Fortean treats his staff, Dr. McGowan in particular, poorly, sneering at them for showing any glimpse of hesitation or empathy, while refusing to take any accountability for making them do these things. The only reason most of them put up with it is a feeling that they owe him, but eventually Dr. McGowan gets so fed up with Fortean's insanity that she seizes command of his operation from him, and lets the Hulk... do his thing. | |

The Horus Heresy was helped along in its beginning due to the fact that a lot of the Primarchs were bitter towards the Emperor for one reason or another. While some were at first manipulated by the Chaos Gods (Horus and Fulgrim) or joined out of their own reasons (Mortarion was loyal to Horus due to feeling more comfortable around him than the other primarchs, Alpharius and Omegon were doing it in an effort to save the galaxy from Chaos) others joined Horus because of ways that the Emperor had angered them, such as Lorgar being desperate for an object of worship after the Emperor humiliated him and his Legion, or Perturabo (the Iron Warriors had constantly been used as a besieging force, causing year after year of hellish attrition warfare) or Kelbor Hal, the Fabricator General of Mars that was annoyed that he had to share the fruits of Mars' labor with the Imperium. Perturabo would later pull it again, this time to the traitor forces, when after basically leaving him to run the Siege of Terra by himself while the other Primarchs messed around or pursued their own objectives, Horus ordered the Iron Warriors to disperse among the other Legions while their prepared positions would be given to Mortarion; sick of facing the same lack of respect from the traitors as he did from the Imperium, Perturabo gathered the Iron Warriors onto their transports and left Horus to his own devices. | |

Mara Jade was once Emperor's Hand, sort of a secret agent doing The Emperor's bidding. After his death, she left The Empire and basically bounced from one neutral smuggling group to another as her Force Sensitivity fluctuated, hating the Rebellion but finding no one in the Empire that commanded her allegiance. Her last smuggling group was also her best, with a boss she respected and who respected her in turn. The newest and greatest Imperial leader, Grand Admiral Thrawn, was impressive, knew who and what Mara was, and requested that she get some information from her boss and bring it to him in a few days. Thrawn then put a tracking device on her, followed her back to the rendezvous, and kidnapped her boss. His lie was what drove her permanently away from the Empire, and thus reluctantly towards the New Republic. | |

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: While Trakeena's early alliances with her father's generals are self-serving, she keeps her ends of their bargains until she's given a personal reason not to. She only starts conspiring to frame Treacheron for treason after he forcefully teleports her home during the middle of a battle where she was trying to help and then tells her father about how she wanted to disobey her father's orders after they'd earlier agreed to cover for each other. | |

In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Luke and numerous other demigods join the Titans because they're sick of their godly parents mistreating and neglecting them all their lives and leaving their mortal parent to fend for themselves. The gods also outright forget to claim their children after they arrive at Camp Half-Blood, leaving them wondering who their divine parent even is. The good guys even acknowledge that while the Olympians may be overall better than the villains they are fighting against, they sure aren't what they would call good. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Cima Garahau turns on the Delaz Fleet because their members have been treating her and her fellow Marines like crap for years. In particular, Cima's fleet was denied permission to take refuge at the asteroid base Axis (with the story's main antagonist Anavel Gato casting the deciding vote) and were forced to spend the next four years hiding out from The Federation and barely eking out an existence. (The fact that the Federation offered her amnesty and wads of money didn't hurt either.) It doesn't end well for her, not because of the trope one might expect here, but because Kou Uraki didn't know a blessed word of thisnote and wasn't exactly on good terms with Federation leadership at this point anyhow and ends up slaughtering all the Marines before Cima's eyes before impaling her on the Gundam GP03's megacannon and blasting her in half. | |

Superman: In Who is Superwoman?, Thara Ak-Var spends weeks putting up with Alura's cold shoulder treatment and "Step out of line and be fired" threats. Alura's daughter Kara telling Thara to quit if she doesn't like her job is the last straw that makes her turn on her former boss. In Starfire's Revenge, Rodney Marlowe turns against her boss Starfire when she throws him into a death trap while admitting she executed his brother because he knew too much. Supergirl (1984): Selena, who had previously abandoned her mentor Nigel when she found the Omegahedron, asks him help to deal with Linda's interference. As soon as Nigel gives her what she wants, Selena transforms him into an old man out of sheer spite and ditches him once again. Later she decides he may still be useful after all, so she holds him hostage to force Supergirl to back off. By this point, though, Nigel is so thoroughly sick of her antics that he turns on Selena and helps Supergirl beat her. The K-Metal from Krypton: Art critic Daryl Bronson discovers the existence of a map to a gold mine hidden behind a painting, and makes a deal with crimelord "Rocks" Gordon to steal it and split the profits. As soon as he grabs the paiting, though, Gordon tries to get his partner murdered, driving Bronson so mad that he murders Gordon and his entire gang. Revolution in San Monte: Corrupt Corporate Executive Emil Norvell hires a band of mercenaries to take out Superman. Once they (presumably) do just that, Emil decides to stiff them out of paying and even threatens to call the police on them. The next evening, the mercenaries decide to take revenge on Norville for backstabbing them, forcing Superman to save his life. |

In the sequel, the Outsiders from Simba's Pride's main reason for defecting to Simba's Kingdom essentially amounted to disgust towards Zira after she made the mistake of threatening her own daughter, Vitani with death if she didn't obey her command. |

Animorphs: Inverted during the David Trilogy. The Animorphs think they're saving David from infestation, a Fate Worse than Death, by making him their new Sixth Ranger, but as this happens in rather desperate circumstances that means he's more or less forcibly recruited, kidnapped, and thrust into a battle he wants no part of, thrown into the deep end in a way they weren't and separated from his family. He tries making the best of it for a little while, but after team leader Jake threatens to kill him for breaking into a hotel room he has enough. As soon as the Big Bad offers to give him his family back he goes Sixth Ranger Traitor on them. In context, though, Jake disliked David long before the "hotel room" incident. It was more like Jake snapped because of a series of minor infractions on David's part, such as when David kills a crow for the fun of it while in morph and then lying about having lost control of his morph. In the endgame of the series, the unnamed Yeerk infesting Jake's brother Tom head a faction that turns on Visser One (formerly Visser Three), the head of the Yeerk invasion of Earth. Visser One is a textbook Bad Boss prone to You Have Failed Me and who's burned through all his friends and allies over the course of the series; Tom's Yeerk can put two and two together and sees that loyal Yeerks won't flourish on a conquered Earth, so he throws in with the Animorphs for long enough to steal a ship and leave for somewhere else. |

BattleTech: The Clan Smoke Jaguar warrior, Trent, suffered grievous wounds in the Battle of Tukayyid, which his Clan lost to ComStar and was subsequently forced into a ceasefire. After his lancemates claimed to have saved his life - a sign of weakness - his battlemech was sabotaged in a trial to earn his Bloodname, his being repeatedly Reassigned to Antarctica, and countless lies and backstabs by his superior officers, he snapped and betrayed the Clans. He was contacted by a ComStar deep agent and gave them the coordinates of the Clan's homeworld in exchange for the right to lead a battlemech lance in combat against his former allies. The Draconis Combine has a long history of mistreating and blackmailing mercenaries under their employ, the Eridani Light Horse and the Wolf's Dragoons suffered this when their dependents were held hostage and killed by their employers, prompting the units to turn on them and leave. When the Combine reinforcements sent to deal with the Light Horse learned what had been done to the mercenaries' families, they were so appalled that they disregarded their orders and left the surviving mercs in peace. The 21st Centauri Lancers were formerly part of the Cappellan Confederations armies, but when their commander hadn't paid them in 9 months, the unit mutinied and went on to work as mercenaries for the other Successor States. This is really something of a recurring theme in BattleTech fiction. Sure, mercenaries expect to be treated as expendable to some extent since it's mutually understood that their loyalty is for pay, but pushing things into "actively abusing or trying to cheat them" territory is by the same token pretty much never a good idea. |

Sleepy Hollow: Henry is loyal to Moloch since Moloch saved him and took him under his wing after he was abandoned by his parents, though they had good excuses. This lasts until the season 2 fall finale when Moloch repeatedly states that Henry is disposable and makes it clear that Moloch does not care about anyone other than himself. This inspires Henry to kill Moloch to save the protagonists. | |

The Last Prayer: Due to both Gaara wanting to demoralize Naruto and Rasa wanting the boy pumped for information Temari is engaged to the boy, with Gaara forcing Temari to insist during the Chunin Exam finals that she never loved Naruto and that he's outright unlovable. When the invasion fails miserably and Suna is forced to pay reparations towards Konoha, Rasa orders Temari to convince Naruto to cancel their engagement. Temari, fed up at being "first treated as a whore then a spoiled child" and genuinely falling for Naruto, outright refuses, stating she plans to insist on going through with their marriage. | |

In The Vampire Chronicles Khayman had My Master, Right or Wrong attitude towards Akasha and Enkil. What made him finally switch sides, was Akasha forcibly turning him into a vampire just to test her new abilities. Khayman then freed Maharet and Mekare from prison and started a rebellion against his former sovereigns. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Cersei spends the whole of A Feast for Crows in her capacity as regent for King Tommen insulting and ignoring the advice of her brother Jaime, her uncle Kevan and Grand Maester Pycelle (as well as periodically threatening the latter with imprisonment and/or death), both alienating them and running Westeros into the ground. When the (thanks to Cersei) newly empowered Faith Militant imprison Cersei on charges of treason and adultery, Jaime ignores her pleading request to be her champion in a Trial by Combat, while Kevan and Pycelle leave her in jail, strip her sycophants of power and get to work trying to fix the mess Cersei made. A historical example from Fire & Blood: after defeating and executing his half-sister Rhaenyra, King Aegon II imposes heavy fines on the lords of the Crownlands to punish them for supporting Rhaenyra's claim to the Iron Throne. When an enemy army fighting to depose him and put Rhaenyra's son on the throne moves to attack King's Landing, Aegon commands the same lords to provide soldiers to reinforce his loyalists...and in the battle that follows, they either abandon Aegon's loyalists to be massacred or assist in the enemy victory, leaving Aegon left with no forces to defend the city against three enemy armies who want his head on a spike. When he threatens one of his remaining commanders to either stop the enemy or see his granddaughter executed as punishment, the man quickly joins a conspiracy to assassinate Aegon before the end of the day. |

One Piece: Averted with Don Krieg's top fighter Gin. When the starving Gin came to Baratie, the other cooks refused him food since he had no money. Sanji, who himself had experienced starvation as a child, is unable to deny a starving person food and saved Gin's life. He does the same for Don Krieg, who then tries to take over the Baratie and kill everyone. But Gin is unable to finish off the man who saved him and begs Krieg to spare Sanji. Krieg views this as a betrayal, fires off a poison gas bomb, and demands Gin leave his gas mask off and die. At this point, you'd expect Gin to turn against such a horrible boss and side with Sanji. Gin does at least save Sanji from the gas, but still refuses to turn against Krieg. During the Raid of Onigashima, Queen of the Animal Kingdom Pirates unleashes a plague called Ice Oni that turns its victims into ice demons for an hour before killing them. However, even his own grunts (Pleasures and Waiters) get caught up in the plague, but Queen insists that since they're just powerless mooks, the best they can do is spread the virus and take as many of the Straw Hats' allies as possible before dying. Naturally, when Chopper cures the plague, said mooks rally behind him and turn on Queen. |

Even though it was after Darken Rahl died, there were still all sorts of ways they could have helped him, including when he briefly came back from the dead.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: La Squadra Execusioni, Passione’s fiercest hitmen, were shown to be resentful of their Boss’s treatment of them, seeing their pay as a pittance compared to other higher-ups in the organization. However, they wouldn’t betray the Boss at first. When they attempted to communicate their resentments to the Boss, Diavolo had 2 of their members, Sorbet and Gelato, executed by Cioccolata and Secco. He even had Gelato’s body mailed to his teammates in pieces, to warn them of the punishment for betraying him. After attending a funeral for Sorbet and Gelato, the hitmen decide to overthrow the Boss, partially to avenge their teammates, but also to break free of Diavolo's control, as they’ve realized that their boss is a complete lunatic who will eventually get rid of them regardless of their loyalty. | |

Wolverine probably wouldn't have defected Weapon X if they'd treated him with, if not kindness, at least basic professional courtesy. Instead, Weapon X treated him like a dog they liked to abuse, caging up and shooting him just for fun and such. |

In Code Geass R2, Schneizel manages to convince the Black Knights to oust their leader, Zero, by revealing Zero's identity and the fact that he has mind-control powers, which he kept secret from them, along with other secrets of his that range from questionable to outright horrifying. Schneizel told them that Lelouch could have used his geass power to control them, and they have no way of knowing for sure that he didn't - aside from Lelouch's word. He returned a whole year after abandoning them in the middle of a battle that they ended up losing because of it, and while he had good reasons, he never told them any of it. From then on, he keeps doing things like bringing in special agents - Britannians - who report directly to him, who haven't earned the trust of the Black Knights; and creating missions that are a lot more sinister than what he tells them (like massacring an entire lab of seemingly innocent doctors and test subjects). Because of this, resentment against him had already been building, and by not explaining himself, he leaves quite the opening for Schneizel to come in and do exactly what he did. | |

Game of Thrones: The History and Lore videos cite this as Tywin's reason for betraying Aerys, largely due to the King refusing to allow Prince Rhaegar to marry Cersei, thus spurning the man who was running the kingdom for Aerys and insulting a vassal of one of the oldest houses of the kingdom, to say nothing of ordering Jaime into the Kingsguard to block him from being Tywin's heir. Tywin even lampshades this, stating that if Aerys had been nicer to him and accepted his match, he would have remained loyal to the Crown. And then of course there's Tyrion, who despite the impossibility of the thing went far and beyond for the sake of House Lannister in order to please his father... up until Tywin pushes him over the edge by seducing the love of his life into falsely testifying against Tyrion in a trial for the murder of Joffrey, all while Tywin used his authority to be the trial's judge, causing Tyrion to snap and leave King's Landing and his dysfunctional family behind... after shooting Tywin in the crotch, while he was busy on the toilet. He was lucky for this not to happen years ago! Tywin played a cruel joke that included a working girl posing as a damsel in distress for Tyrion to "save", the same bandits being sent by Tywin, and paying the guards to take the girl back and make sure his son is Forced to Watch as they did to her things so vile it dare not be repeated here, all an act to be cruel.note In the books, it's even worse! There, it turns out that the girl really was a serving girl who fell in love with Tyrion. The Lannisters lied about the whore part. Tyrion, of course, would spend the series tormenting his family. Having been constantly belittled, insulted, and even threatened with death by Littlefinger in his efforts to stop the former seizing power in the Vale, when all of Littlefinger's crimes come back to haunt him in a trial orchestrated by the children of House Stark, and Littlefinger demands Royce take him back to the safety of the Vale, Lord Yohn Royce gleefully throws Littlefinger to the wolves. |

So when Cinder abandons her after the Battle of Beacon, Emerald doesn't lose any sleep over allying with Weiss instead. Ruby later tells Cinder that Emerald would probably still be working for her if she was just a bit nicer. | |

Gemini in Fairy Tail cannot kill Lucy after seeing how kind she is and how much she values her spirits. Gemini's former master wasn't quite as bad as other examples of celestial mages, but thought nothing of inflicting non-lethal damage on her own spirits to secure victory. Even what seemed like an inanimate object refused to hit her. In the end, they all join Lucy. | |

In The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible grabs Mirage and threatens her life, Syndrome calls his bluff, knowing Mr. Incredible couldn't hurt a helpless woman. While he was spot on about Mr. Incredible, he completely failed to realize that Mirage would be upset at being treated as expendable, and might admire Mr. Incredible for his concern. She already had doubts after Syndrome ordered missiles launched at a plane with children in it, but gambling with her life is far too personal for her to let slide. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Horus Heresy was helped along in its beginning due to the fact that a lot of the Primarchs were bitter towards the Emperor for one reason or another. While some were at first manipulated by the Chaos Gods (Horus and Fulgrim) or joined out of their own reasons (Mortarion was loyal to Horus due to feeling more comfortable around him than the other primarchs, Alpharius and Omegon were doing it in an effort to save the galaxy from Chaos) others joined Horus because of ways that the Emperor had angered them, such as Lorgar being desperate for an object of worship after the Emperor humiliated him and his Legion, or Perturabo (the Iron Warriors had constantly been used as a besieging force, causing year after year of hellish attrition warfare) or Kelbor Hal, the Fabricator General of Mars that was annoyed that he had to share the fruits of Mars' labor with the Imperium. Perturabo would later pull it again, this time to the traitor forces, when after basically leaving him to run the Siege of Terra by himself while the other Primarchs messed around or pursued their own objectives, Horus ordered the Iron Warriors to disperse among the other Legions while their prepared positions would be given to Mortarion; sick of facing the same lack of respect from the traitors as he did from the Imperium, Perturabo gathered the Iron Warriors onto their transports and left Horus to his own devices. Commander Farsight split from the Tau Empire and formed the Farsight Enclave when he found out that the Ethereals have been using some form of mind control to subjugate all of the other Tau castes. |

By the end of the story, Naru has managed to burn every last one of her bridges through her constant cruelty towards others. Even with Granny Hina, who turns upon her after learning that Naru repaid all her years of kindness and coddling by participating in a plot to kidnap and attempt to murder her grandson. |

Son of the Sannin: When Orochimaru decides to leave behind one of his underlings, Hebimaru, due to considering a liability to rescue him, his twin sister Hebiko takes offense. Orochimaru manages to keep her at ease for the time being by telling her that Konoha will most certainly keep him alive (for interrogation) and promising to rescue him. But, since he never intended to fulfill that promise, and once she finally sees that he's planning on discarding them like trash, Hebiko takes things into her own hands and, in order: murders Kabuto Yakushi, takes several of Orochimaru's troops with her, captures Juugo and retrieves the stolen Scroll of Seals, and then shows up at the doorsteps of the Shinobi Alliance's Headquarters, offering Juugo and the scroll as a bargaining chip for her brother's freedom (along with information about Orochimaru's whereabouts and plans). | |

He claims this is revenge for Batman firing him as Robin and replacing him with Jason Todd, though the exact circumstances of this have never been revealed. Batman's own words on the matter was just mocking Grayson and telling him he was fired for "cowardice and incompetence". | |

Secret Wars (2015): For eight years since the Final Incursion, Doctor Doom locked away the Molecule Man within his realm within Battleworld, rarely visiting him and, when he did, never fed him. When the Peter Parker and Miles Morales Spider-Men show up, Miles gives the Molecule Man a hamburger he had tucked away. During the Final Battle between Doom and Reed Richards, Doom admits that, yes, Reed would have done much better in his shoes and just tries to outright kill him. Pleased with hearing these words, the Molecule Man gives Reed Doom's powers, allowing him to do just that. And as extra thanks, the Molecule Man brought Miles and his friends and family to the mainstream Marvel Universe, resurrecting his mom in the process. | |

What makes this example especially galling is that Szilard admits every homunculi he created before Ennis did the exact same thing; this guy just CANNOT stop abusing his creations, no matter how often it drives them into revolting against him. | |

The Book of Mormon mentions how Morianton very nearly led away a large group of Nephites to settle the "land northward", which would likely have compromised the Nephites' defensive line against Lamanite invaders (plus, the reason Morianton wanted to run was that his people had tried to cheat one of their neighbours, and he knew the civil government would rule against him). Before he can leave, though, he makes the mistake of beating up one of his servants in a fit of temper; she runs straight to Chief Captain Moroni and spills everything, allowing him to intercept and stop the runaways. | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto has a semi-reversed example. Draghignazzo has been Giovanni de'Medici's faithful sidekick for as long as he can remember, but when Giovanni gives an important position to the newcomer Angelo, who has the expertise but hasn't put in his years of sucking up, that provokes Draghignazzo's betrayal. Giovanni is not a villain, just a naive, sheltered rich kid, and later, he expresses regrets that he never tried to understand Draghignazzo's feelings. The incident gives him the character development he needed. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angelus' continual insults to Spike, as well as him taking Dru's affections, lead to Spike siding with Buffy in the Season 2 finale. This is part of Faith's reason for going to the Mayor in Season 3. The entire cast kicks Buffy out of her own house in Season 7. Buffy lets "The Chosen One, 'general' of the Slayer Army" role get to her head and becomes The Neidermeyer, essentially keeping on hitting everybody over the head with how much of a sorry bunch of Red Shirts they are compared to her. They would have gleefully kept her out hadn't the next episode showcased that, when it comes to being a badass, Buffy pretty much has Vetinari Job Security. For another jerkass Slayer example Kennedy, whose actions were so reviled she was not really forgiven for them, and even into the comics, the rest of the cast basically turn on her. Then there are the fans: most none will ever forgive her for, just one example, tormenting Molly into being Driven to Suicide. |

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies: Miss Waller is loyal to Lex Luthor right up until she realizes he's gone bat-shit crazy. Mind you, he doesn't mistreat her, he hits on her in the mistaken belief this will somehow cement her loyalty, instead of creeping her the hell out. Being high and insane is not actually that good for your charisma. | |

Pretty Cure: Bunbee in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 does two Heel Neutral Turns when he realizes that his employers don't appreciate him, are blocking his dream of advancement, and will likely send him to his death. He finally does a full Heel–Face Turn at the end. Happens again in Suite Pretty Cure ♪. Bassdrum and Baritone are treated so badly by Falsetto that when they get their hands on the Cure Modules, they give them to the Cures only to let them beat up Falsetto. They unfortunately got turned evil again, but they get better. Wolfrun, Akaoni, and Majorina joined the Bad End Kingdom in Smile Pretty Cure! because they were treated badly due to their status as villains. When they are finally given some kindness from Cure Happy, they pull a Heel–Face Turn. |

Also happens in a Stargate Atlantis episode where an IOA investigator comes to review Woolsey's performance. Woolsey, himself being a former IOA lapdog, quickly realizes that the "review" is basically an excuse to replace him with someone more loyal to the IOA party line, like the investigator herself. An alien being fakes a transmission to the investigator from the IOA informing her that they have decided to go with someone else as a replacement for Woolsey. Angry at this backstab, she officially notes Woolsey's performance as satisfactory in order to ruin the IOA's plans. | |

Star Wars Legends: Mara Jade was once Emperor's Hand, sort of a secret agent doing The Emperor's bidding. After his death, she left The Empire and basically bounced from one neutral smuggling group to another as her Force Sensitivity fluctuated, hating the Rebellion but finding no one in the Empire that commanded her allegiance. Her last smuggling group was also her best, with a boss she respected and who respected her in turn. The newest and greatest Imperial leader, Grand Admiral Thrawn, was impressive, knew who and what Mara was, and requested that she get some information from her boss and bring it to him in a few days. Thrawn then put a tracking device on her, followed her back to the rendezvous, and kidnapped her boss. His lie was what drove her permanently away from the Empire, and thus reluctantly towards the New Republic. Likewise in the Thrawn Trilogy, Thrawn's Noghri assassin Rukh stabs him in revenge after the Empire's manipulation of the Noghri race is exposed. There are several of these in the X-Wing Series. The captain of an Imperial Interdictor Cruiser protested when some of her crew were transferred out as punishment for a nonexistent offense (supposedly the squadron leader of the ship's TIE fighters had blundered by killing a Rebel pilot they'd been assigned to capture alive, but Director Isard stubbornly refused to believe the truth that the X-wing had blown up on its own, despite the fact that sensor records would have confirmed the Interdictor and its fighters had never shot it), the protest was ignored, and she and her entire crew went over to the Rebellion. Inyri Forge, who'd become the lover of a criminal who hated the Rogues, killed him when he threatened one of them, because while he'd respected her and forced others and herself to do the same, he hadn't risked himself to save her or shown concern over her welfare like the Rogues had, and she knew that he was not the kind of person she was raised to respect. |

A Crown of Stars: Given everything that Shinji and Asuka endured at the hands of Jinnai and his ex-boss Winthrop (both dictators treated them as pawns in the post-Third Impact wars — and they would have shot Shinji and Asuka without the slightest concern if they thought that the pair of teenagers might be a problem, — and they forced Asuka to be their toy for three years), it is not a wonder that they switched sides instantly when someone made them an offer. | |

Zigzagged in the second season of Primeval. Helen Cutter and Oliver Leek are more of a Villain Team-Up, but Helen clearly calls the shots and spends most of the time smugly threatening or toying with him. After Leek finally makes their power play, he makes it quite clear he isn't playing the abused underling of their partnership anymore. Helen however refuses to take the position as well and pulls an Enemy Mine in turn. | |

This is the theme of the Legends of Tomorrow episode "Egg McGuffin", running through all three plots. It's why the assistant of the egomaniac explorer stole the egg; it's Sara's theory as to who the killer is in the book she's reading; and it's why Gary decides he's had enough of being the Butt-Monkey and sides with Neron. | |

In the 1998 Merlin series, Lord Ardent changes sides when King Vortigern tries to have his daughter sacrificed and Frik changes sides when Mab kills the woman he loves. This also applies to Merlin himself, who had no need to join Uther before Vortigern's attempt to have him and his Love Interest sacrificed to a dragon. | |

This, along with Twilight saving Tempest from being sucked into a tornado, convinces Tempest to switch sides, even Taking the Bullet for Twilight when she's about to be turned to stone, doing so at point-blank range results in the Storm King being turned to stone along with her, and while Twilight saves Tempest, the Storm King is left to shatter into pieces. | |

William tries to get Carter to convert to Christianity, to no avail, but soon, he comes back, angry with Horus for ordering him to go to America instead of the front lines, as he says that bad things happened to him there, but he refuses to elaborate. This time, he's willing to convert, free William and help him defeat Horus. | |

Justified: Boyd Crowder's total inability to treat his cousin Johnny with any respect is what ultimately turns him into The Starscream. First Boyd got him crippled courtesy of Bo (though Boyd was legitimately regretful about that, at least for a time, and it was partially Johnny's own fault for trying to play being a two-timing The Starscream out of resentment against Bo still preferring Boyd over himself). Then he repeatedly sidelined Johnny, taking advice from Ava (his girlfriend who has no criminal experience), Arlo (a senile old man), and Colt (a drug addict) over Johnny. In "Raw Deal", we learn that Boyd stole Johnny's girlfriend in high school, suggesting that Boyd's mistreatment of Johnny goes back years. Johnny's betrayal is ultimately not that surprising and ends up devastating Boyd's entire organisation though not enough to put him out of business, and certainly not enough to save him from Boyd putting a hole through his skull when all is said and done. | |

According to The Other Wiki, one of the motives for people becoming spies is "disaffection and grudges" towards a country. According to the article, people may give secrets to an enemy if they feel they have not been given sufficient recognition or feel they have been mistreated. This is the reason KGB agent Vladimir Ippolitovich Vetrov (AKA "Farewell") gave many classified documents (usually related to Soviet Union's industrial espionnage) to a French intelligence agency during the early 1980s. He resented his transfer to the KGB archives, feeling it has a sanction; he choose to communicate documents to France (instead of any other West country) because he genuinely loved the country and his culture. |
