It doesn't have to be a written story specifically, any media will do. Their are a few series that I've heard dwell into this, but none of them I really have access to. (Either because I've completely forgotten what they are or no translation exists) An iffy example might be the exploration of Jean Gay and the Phoenix but, outside of Chris Claremont's run I'd struggle to call it a "Good story." (Or the aforementioned a good character)
Just a story that generally explores more of the corrupted character's perspective, their justifications and role on things overall would be nice. It doesn't seem to be too common however.

Actually, in Mortal Kombat 9's story, there are a number of the heroes who get corrupted into Revenants (I think that's the right term) by Quan Chi. At one point, all but three of the heroes, and even some villains who fought for Shao Khan, were turned.
The list includes Liu Kang, Kitana, Sindel, and Jax, though there's a lot more. And the kicker is that this continues into MK10; Jax gets turned back to normal by forcing Quan Chi to reverse the ritual. Quan Chi is killed halfway throug, but this does not reverse the corruption, as only Quan Chi is capable of reversing it through his process.
This effectively leaves Liu Kang and Kitana, on top of three other Revanants, as permanently corrupted when MK10 comes to a close, and Liu Kang and Kitana end up ruling the Netherrealm (Hell or the land of the dead, whichever you prefer).
