For example, a supervillain might set certain obstacles into motion to waste a superheroes time, to make it possible for a getaway or a crime. For example, Doctor Pelagian used his albatross to lead Wonder Woman on a wild-albatross chase, to keep her busy while he comes up with his next scheme. Some whales that were chasing Aquaman were sent off on a wild-goose chase, and according to Aquaman, are probably still looking for him somewhere in the Sargasso Sea. King Plasto even used literal geese, (well, FRERP geese anyway) to send the Superfriends off on a wild-goose chase.
