* ''Film/{{Hulk}}''/''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'': It's pretty much a given you won't like Dr. Bruce Banner when he's angry. Tormenting him is bad enough. Just look at Betty Ross the wrong way, however, and.... HULK SMASH!!!

** Don't hurt kids or those with mental issues. Deadpool has a well-known soft for kids, and he empathizes with those who suffer from mental issues (due to suffering from them himself). And if you hurt a KID with mental issues (especially one you have authority over) he goes completely serious and will kill you pro bono.

* ''Film/{{Hulk}}''/''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'': It's pretty much a given you won't like Dr. Bruce Banner when he's angry. Tormenting him is bad enough. Just look at Betty Ross the wrong way, however, and.... HULK SMASH!!!
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** ''Film/{{Thor}}'':
*** Thor is grudgingly willing to leave Jotunheim without a fight, until one of the Frost Giants calls him "Princess". Then it's on. This is the ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} of the Myth/{{Norse|Mythology}} Pantheon. He was the embodiment of the rowdiest, strongest, most fearsome Norse warriors: [[TheBerserker berserkers.]] It's carried through in the adaptations. Becomes funnier when you see the look on Thor's companions' faces when it happens. Loki puts it best: "Damn".
*** Pretty much any insult will push Thor to a towering rage, at least before he learns humility in his banishment to Earth.
** While we're on the subject of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', several of the heroes, Dr. Banner aside, seem to have a button-pushing issue at some point.
%%*** Tony Stark doesn't like other people taking his things.
*** Cap doesn't like Tony's selfish attitude; when Tony suggests he would TakeAThirdOption to laying his life down for a comrade, Cap finally has enough and tells him to suit up, intending to fight him.
*** Clint Barton/Hawkeye does ''not'' take kindly to learning he was Loki's unwitting pawn and as such, responsible for several deaths and nearly killing Black Widow.
*** ''Don't tell Thor to put his hammer down''. As Cap found out, he'll put it down...'''on your ''head''.'''
*** In general for Stark, his complicated relationship with his father. Part of the reason Tony and Steve don't get along is because Steve unintentionally pushes that button. Invoked by [[spoiler: Zemo in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' to drive the two apart]].
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':
*** Don't touch Peter Quill/Star-Lord's Walkman, or you will be in for a world of pain. Initially PlayedForLaughs, it later turns out that this is because [[spoiler:it's one of the only things he has left to remember his mother by]].
*** Rocket Raccoon does not take kindly to being called an animal. This is because [[spoiler:he's the result of several horrible experiments, was taken apart and put back together again, then had cybernetic implants put in, seemingly while he was awake and conscious]].
** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Ultron completely loses it whenever someone compares him to Tony Stark. Or even hints that he might be connected to Tony Stark. Such as Ulysses Klaue learns.
--->'''Ultron:''' It's just I don't understand - ''[[MoodSwinger DON'T COMPARE ME WITH STARK!]]''
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Let's just say, do ''not'' smoke while in Cerebro.
--->'''Professor X''': Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl.]] I'd have Jean braid your hair.
** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
*** Wolverine is filled with bloodlust whenever Kayla is in danger.
*** Fred J. Dukes has a weight disorder. Try not to say anything about it.
--->'''Logan:''' C'mon, bub. For old times' sake!
--->'''Dukes:''' ...Did you just call me... ''[[UnstoppableRage BLOB]]??''
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** For Hank [=McCoy=], it's taunting his looks when he's in his Beast form.
*** Telling Magneto that men were [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH_VtXj6c2o&feature=related "Just following orders"]] sends him into a murderous rage.
---->'''Magneto:''' I've been [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust at the mercy of men "just following orders."]] Never again!
** ''Film/TheWolverine'': Threatening people Logan cares about will make him go berserk, which is pretty normal. Causing unwarranted suffering on wild fauna, however, also puts him on a violent warpath.


!!Live-Action TV
* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'':
** Never [[DoNotCallMePaul refer to Agent May as "The Cavalry"]].
** Calling [[spoiler:Daisy Johnson]] Skye, the name she chose for herself without knowing her birth name, will result in Cal angrily screaming, "That's not her name!" Later, however, after her birth name is revealed, Coulson refers to her as [[spoiler:Daisy]] in conversation with Cal in an attempt to placate him, only for Cal to scream at him for that and rail about how she's [[spoiler:Daisy]] to ''him'', but not to anyone else. [[MortonsFork Coulson doesn't know what to do with this.]]
* ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}''.
** Wilson Fisk is a walking case of hot buttons that can cause him to fly into a rage at any moment.
*** Vanessa in general -- don't screw with his relationship with her. Anatoly learns it [[OffWithHisHead the hard way]]. So does [[Creator/BobGunton Leland Owlsley]]. He even goes postal in Season 2 on Matt when Matt uses the threat of barring her from ever reentering the United States to bluff Fisk into admitting his complicity in Frank Castle's escape.
*** Also, involving his loved ones in his business, which includes even talking to his mom. As Ben Urich learns the hard way.
*** Even scarier, Fisk's button seems to be time-delayed; he's perfectly capable of holding a fairly polite conversation for an indefinite time, even while furious, before erupting like a volcano.
** James Wesley's death creates several new buttons for Fisk.
*** Upon finding Wesley's body, Fisk beats Francis up for failing to protect Wesley.
*** In Season 3, Karen deliberately visits Fisk with the intention of trying to provoke him into attacking her so he'll violate his parole and the FBI will send him back to prison. She tries to do so by bringing up how she was with Ben Urich when he spoke to Fisk's late mother Marlene Vistain, but that doesn't deter Fisk, and he counters by revealing his knowledge of Matt's double life as Daredevil. So Karen tries again by revealing that she killed Wesley, which is enough to get Fisk to snap and prepare to attack her, only to be stopped by Foggy showing up in the nick of time. So Fisk resorts to putting out a hit on Karen, and tasks Dex with carrying out the job.
*** And when the hit fails due to a combination of Matt's intervention and Ray Nadeem standing up to Dex, Fisk proceeds to beat to death the agent who passes this news onto him.
** What drove Matt Murdock to vigilantism was when he overheard a father molesting his daughter, and no one did a thing about it.
** Elderly and children being harmed are two buttons for Matt. In fact his opponents love to specifically target such victims to lure him into traps. Early in Season 1, the Russians abduct a child off the streets as bait for Matt. Later in the season, Fisk has Elena Cardenas (an elderly woman Nelson & Murdock are representing in a landlord dispute) assassinated specifically to lure Matt into an ambush by Nobu.
** [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]] in one scene is buying guns and ammo from a pawn shop, and then proceeds to ignore the owner as he offers him all kinds of illegal items, until he mentions child-pornography. Cue pawn-shop owner being beaten to death with a baseball bat.
* ''Series/LukeCage2016'':
** Cornell Stokes hates being called [[EmbarrassingNickname "Cottonmouth"]]. Woe behold anyone who uses that name within earshot of him.
--->'''Shades:''' I suggested we wait [before shooting up Pop's barbershop].\\
'''Tone:''' Wait? Wait for ''what'', Shades? You ain't even down with the clique! You can't give orders. It was loud 'cause it's supposed to be! Niggas need to know you don't rob Cottonmouth-\\
'''Cottonmouth:''' ''[gets in Tone's face]'' MY NAME IS NOT COTTONMOUTH!!\\
''[Tone, who up until this moment had been very self-assured, shakes with fear]''\\
'''Tone:''' ''[stammering]'' My--my bad. My bad!
** Don't call Mariah Dillard "[[EmbarrassingNickname Black Mariah]]" to her face either. [[spoiler:And most definitely don't accuse her of having wanted to be molested by her uncle.]] You know she's changed for the worst in Season 2 when she embraces her villainy and doesn't so much as flinch when Luke addresses her that way.
** Bushmaster is very insistent on correcting people who refer to Mariah with her married name with a rather forceful "STOKES. Mariah Stokes."

!!Western Animation
* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'':
** Don't ruin any of Hulk's glass figurines. You will be punished.
** In one episode, we learn that [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Rocket Raccoon]] does NOT like being called a "mascot".
--->'''Hawkeye:''' I see you're still traveling with the talking pencil and the furry mascot.\\
'''Rocket:''' (''jumps onto Hawkeye's chest, grabs him by the throat, and shoves a gun into his nose'') Call me "mascot" one more time. ''Please.''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'':
** [[ThatManIsDead "Don't call me Max!]] The name is Electro! ELECTRO, I TELL YOU!"
** Let's just say that Doc Ock [[LargeHam doesn't appreciate witty banter.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', Spidey quickly picks up on and exploits Scorpion's dislike of being insulted and called names to break his focus. Scorpion does get slightly better with this by later seasons, though [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas making fun of his mother]] still proves a surefire method of riling him up.

* If you really want to earn the wrath of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], steal his technology. If you want to multiply that wrath tenfold, use it for evil purposes, including harming people. The "Armor Wars" storyline is a good illustration of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown what he will do]] if he even ''thinks'' you've misappropriated his tech, and neither enemies nor ''allies'' are safe.



* ComicBook/{{Storm}} has claustrophobia thanks to being buried alive in rubble as a child. This used to leave her catatonic with fear. Nowadays trying to shove her into an enclosed space just makes her angry. And making a FisherQueen angry is usually a ''very'' bad idea.

** Trying to endanger or kill their boyfriend, either intentionally or by accident, is the surest way to earn Wiccan and Hulkling’s wrath. Wiccan tries to murder someone and puts an entire terrorist cell into comas, and while Hulkling ironically leans more towards TranquilFury most of the time, he’s very clear and deliberate about what awaits people who endanger Wiccan in any way.

* If talking to ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, ''never'' mention Weapon X. Particularly not "the Workshop." You ''might'' get away with it if you were one of the other participants, but this is not a guarantee.
** Don't hurt kids or those with mental issues. Deadpool has a well-known soft for kids, and he empathizes with those who suffer from mental issues (due to suffering from them himself). And if you hurt a KID with mental issues (especially one you have authority over) he goes completely serious and will kill you pro bono. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness And there won't be a joke, not even a peep, from either of the other comedic "voices" in his head]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'': In the beginning of one issue, the team lands in Canada, with no idea why they're there, until the Hulk lands in front of them. Morph, understandably, turns into a chicken and starts running, but the Hulk just stands there, not even responding to them... until Morph steps on a twig, at which point Hulk goes berserk.
* From ''ComicBook/FantasticFour:'' Whatever you do, don't mention The Trapster's former villainous handle, "Paste-Pot Pete."
** A quick way to get on Doctor Doom's bad side would be by implying that [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Reed Richards]] is intelligent, let alone more intelligent than Doom is.
* '''[[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]]''' is generally a [[TheBerserker Berserker]] anyway, but anything or anyone that reminds him of his father is definitely in for a world of hurt.
** SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}}: The Hulk and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]] were up against a single powerful alien fighter, so Thing tries to piss Hulk off.
--> '''The Thing:''' He called you a commie, a pinko!\\
'''[[ThirdPersonPerson The Hulk]]:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint No! Hulk GREEN!]]
** One surefire way to make Hulk even angrier than usual is comparing him to Bruce Banner, and if it's the Gray Hulk (Joe Fixit), comparing him to the classic Savage Hulk or saying he's not as strong as that version.
*** As well as claiming to be stronger than The Hulk, especially if you've just knocked him down.
* Don't mess with the Scarlet Witch in any way, or ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}, his KnightTemplarBigBrother, will take you down before you even notice. Even more in ComicBook/TheUltimates, where their relations grows into BrotherSisterIncest.
* If you really want to earn the wrath of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], steal his technology. If you want to multiply that wrath tenfold, use it for evil purposes, including harming people. The "Armor Wars" storyline is a good illustration of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown what he will do]] if he even ''thinks'' you've misappropriated his tech, and neither enemies nor ''allies'' are safe.
* This dialogue between ComicBook/SpiderMan and two cops in one story reveals what TheJuggernaut's BerserkButton is:
-->'''First cop:''' Spider-Man?? ''You're'' the "big bad guy"?
-->'''Spidey:''' Uh... You must mean the guy behind me!
-->'''Second cop:''' Move it, fellah, before we run you in!
-->'''Spidey:''' Okay, but whatever you do, ''don't call him stupid!''
-->''(Cops turn around as Spidey webs off.)''
-->'''First cop:''' Don't call ''who'' stupid?
-->'''Juggernaut''' ''(from off-panel)'': '''Who you callin' "stupid"?'''
-->'''Second cop:''' [[OhCrap Oh, cripes...]]
* ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'':
** Under no circumstances should you insinuate that Spider-Woman is a Skrull. Last time the ComicBook/DarkAvengers did that, she lost her composure and started beating down almost everyone who got near her (and apparently that included Ares), at least until Sentry stopped and calmed her down.
** A ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'' issue added one more for Spider-Woman: Subject her to MindControl or anything like that and she'll gladly put her hand inside your mouth and BLAST it from the inside. In fact, this pissed her off so much that if it wasn't for Spider-Man stopping her, she would've killed her mind controller.
* ComicBook/{{Storm}} has claustrophobia thanks to being buried alive in rubble as a child. This used to leave her catatonic with fear. Nowadays trying to shove her into an enclosed space just makes her angry. And making a FisherQueen angry is usually a ''very'' bad idea.
* ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'': The titular Symbiont hates being called “parasite”. Justified because, since it is the only one of its kind who wants to bond with its host instead of killing it, and it gives cool superpowers to its hosts, the term “parasite” sounds ungrateful.
* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel:
** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Herr Kleiser, a long lived alien that worked for the Nazis back in the day, is having a last fight with Captain America, and he's wining. But then, he asked him to surrender and request a mercy kill. This idea enraged Cap so much that he got an HeroicSecondWind, turned the tables and Kleisser, and asked "Surrender? SURRENDER??!! You think this letter on my head stands for 'France'?!"
** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': People committing crimes for fun becomes one for Kitty after ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}''
** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': Don't talk trash about Sabertooth's fur coat. At least, not unless you've got a Healing Factor to survive the ensuing violent temper tantrum.
* ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' has a few, but the most enduring and unchanging one is any kind of brain tampering. Due to his history, he's not a fan of it, and in fact, tried to ''kill'' ComicBook/NickFury for doing it to him, since he would've done what Nick had asked anyway.
* ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'':
** Stature is quite protective of her father's legacy. If she perceives someone attacking her father, she will grow as large as she is able and try to crush them. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this ends up costing Stature her life.]]
** Trying to endanger or kill their boyfriend, either intentionally or by accident, is the surest way to earn Wiccan and Hulkling’s wrath. Wiccan tries to murder someone and puts an entire terrorist cell into comas, and while Hulkling ironically leans more towards TranquilFury most of the time, he’s very clear and deliberate about what awaits people who endanger Wiccan in any way.
