In Marvel's Darth Vader series, we get to see Vader's day-to-day dealings in the Empire. We also see Vader taking a lot of guff from Imperial brass, including his master. So, when Vader discovers the Emperor put him in a situation he's not expected to survive, Vader owns it and tells the Emperor to just try harder next time.

The head of the extremely powerful crime organization Black Sun, Prince Xizor, had a bone to pick with Darth Vader. Not only did Xizor want revenge for one of Vader's orders resulting in the death of his family, he also wanted the favor of the Emperor.

Some he drove to the dark side just before slaughtering them without mercy.
