Commit a crime and then be seen to be the one to resolve it … isn’t this pretty much Hank Pym’s plan in the infamous panel where he slaps Janet? In that panel isn’t he planning to activate Ultron and let it loose on the Avengers, and then he’ll come in and defeat Ultron, saving the day and be called a hero?
(also Syndrome’s plan in The Incredibles)
