* A small one in {{Dreamkeepers}} Prelude: To condense what leads to it, [[TheAlcoholic a drunken]], [[UnstoppableRage enraged Grunn]] (the abusive owner of the orphange), after losing most if not ALL of his fishing boats, finally gets so angry that he just snaps and starts throwing the orphans several meters out to sea so that they'd be forced to bring them back. (Admittedly, he had few choices left to get his boats back, his only viable means of making money was selling the catch brought in by those boats, and he had just been repeatedly hit in the face with an oar...) [[ActionGirl Vi]], who somehow avoided Grunn, swims all by herself out to the other orphans (Who are just hanging out on an overturned boat, apparently forgetting that Grunn is waiting for them on land...), putting herself in danger. Why would she do something so reckless? To tell the others that the tide is going out and that the boat is riding lower. If she had shown up much later, the roughly six or seven guys just chillin' out would have been stranded at sea and, eventually, ''drowned''.

* ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-bit Theater]]'' has the following:
** [[spoiler:Black Mage returning as Hellking and banishing Lich to Hell.]]
** [[spoiler:Red Mage slaying Ur from the inside right before the apocalypse started.]]
** [[spoiler:Dragoon killing Muffin as she had Thief in her hand.]]
** And finally...[[spoiler:White Mage and 3 other white mages [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing Chaos]].]]
* Invoked in ''ButtlordGT'', where Buttlord gets to the battle on time, but refuses to interfere until his allies are half-dead.
* Just when it looked like [[{{Collar 6}} Sixx]] was lost to Butterfly and Trina, [[spoiler: Ginger and Laura break into subspace, which should have been impossible for the latter. Ginger takes out Trina, and Laura gives Sixx a CooldownHug, giving her the strength to withstand Butterfly's assault]].
* Several of these in ''TheWaterPhoenixKing'' have been subverted or ambiguous (everyone chasing around in the tunnels in Chapter 1, the anticlimactic fight in the clearing in Chapter 2) but when Gilgam and the Commander [[spoiler: finally arrive at the inn just in time to give the magic-users cover enough to repair their defenses]] at the conclusion of "Pride of the North" it's classic, and Book 4 takes it up to 11 when Anthem and Vish are the only ones left to go try to rescue all the ''real'' warriors from the Temple...CMOA, bringing a lot of themes full-circle there.
* ''{{Yo-Jin-Bo}}'' has its own moment of the heroes saving the other half of the heroes. Sayori trips and falls as she and Muneshige are running to first escape the castle. The ninjas have her surrounded and are about to kill her. Enter five [[CasualDangerDialogue wise-cracking]] heroes. Those poor ninjas never regain their competence.
* In the [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/8/18/ "Armadeaddon"]] story-arc in ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', it looks like Gabe and Tycho are about to be overrun by the zombie horde when they are saved by Fruit Fucker! Fruit Fucker: Make Fruit Your Bitch.
-->FRUIT FUCKER has joined the party!
* In ''AllMannerOfBad'' the hideout [[http://allmannerofbad.com/2008/12/10/the-stand/ was attacked]] while half the group was away retrieving family and loved ones. One of those characters made an [[http://allmannerofbad.com/2008/12/02/eotwp/ end of the world plan]] with his wife that [[CrazyPrepared included zombies]]. Upon their return he and his wife [[http://allmannerofbad.com/2008/12/12/save-the-day/ open fire]] on the huge horde of zombies attacking their hideout (and former workplace). Partially subverted in the last panel as their self-proclaimed bad assitude is wittily rebutted.
* Occurs in ''FarOutThere'' when Sophia and Claire [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1080545/page-286-well-now-that-was-unexpected/ finally]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1080546/page-287-meet-my-deus-ex-machina-er-i-mean-boss/ respond]] to Ichabod's call for help.
** Seen again when Tabitha saves Bridget and Alphonse [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090299/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-11/ from]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090302/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-12/ Santa]].
* In ''{{Endstone}}'', [[http://endstone.net/2009/07/10/issue-2-page-3/ Kyri intervenes]] to prevent slaughtering higher animals (LittleBitBeastly humans).
** [[http://endstone.net/2009/08/25/issue-2-page-11/ And Jon is saved in the wilderness]]
* In ZokushoComics just as a goblin sorcerer is about blow up a ten year old, Jin comes out of nowhere and twists the goblin's head around 180 degrees.
* Cube (twice) and Madeline in ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo''.
* Lewie in ''YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' had to leave the Mountain on rather bad terms with everyone. He returned when they kissed their butts goodbye, apparently from ''under'' their current problem, with a [[FantasticNuke blazing mushroom cloud]] and the comment "Hah! Gotcha!". Just a reminder: Lewie can be a [[BeingEvilSucks badly messed-up]] goofball, but he's also a very old, overpowered and NighInvulnerable spellhurler.
