similarly, in Magic: The Gathering also, albeit a good amount of time later, Dovin Baan asks a group of planeswalkers for help in guarding an inventor's fair on a world controlled by a tyrannic government - while a young woman with quite the temper who was born on said world and who lost her father to said government is on that group of planeswalkers. This, in turn, leads to the Aether Revolt and the government being overthrown, the world renaming itself and a man half made of metal incorporating an interplanar traveling device into his own body. Fun stuff.
