* Team JNPR in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12854072/9/The-ProfessionARC The ProfessionArc]]'' decide to review recordings of their spars and offer advice to each other on how to improve. When it comes to [[TheAce Pyrrha]], their suggestions amount to things like taking better care of her weapons as Ren noticed a small dent in her shield just before Pyrrha smashed it into his face.
** When detailing their skills, Jaune wonders if Pyrrha's Semblance is even suited for combat given how adept she is at fighting without it and most with a combat oriented Semblance tend to rely heavily on them (like Weiss). Then he learns she can [[ExtraOredinary control polarity]].
-->'''Jaune:''' ''Or it can be something like that. Sure, why not - talented, hard working, with Semblance that is basically a giant middle finger to like 99% of all hunters.''

[[AC: ''Franchise/DragonAge'']]
* In the ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' fic series ''Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge'', Varric is at least as much of a deadpan snarker as he is in canon. In this, however, he's not just a character; he's the [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou editor]], and a portion of the snark is found in the form of his [[NoteFromEd editor's notes]] throughout the main story. He's also credited as the author of one of the side volumes, ''The Skyhold Runner's Guide to Survival'', which is almost nothing ''but'' snark.
** Averted, however, in another side volume, ''Across the Waking Sea'' - this one is comprised of letters exchanged between himself and Bethany Hawke, and "Sunshine" is (as in canon) the one person to whom he is virtually never snarky.

* In ''Fanfic/XMenTheEarlyYears'', [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers']] sense of humor is drier than most of world's deserts.
-->'''Carol:''' So what have you been doing besides studying, Scott?\\
'''Scott:''' Well, on my off time, I've saved the world a couple of times from evil mutants. I joined a cult and then overthrew its leader because he was badly mistreating his people. That, of course, is after the head of the cult tried to sacrifice me to a demon. After I overthrew the old leader, the members of the cult voted me their leader. I made everyone get jobs and outlawed human sacrifice. I helped them fix up their boarding house and open a soup kitchen for the homeless in its basement. I also organized a band for them, and they're playing at the children's hospital cancer ward benefit next month. Other than that, not much; it's been a slow month.\\
'''Carol:''' (to Xavier) He's learning to express a sense of humor.\\
'''Xavier:''' Yes, Scott is learning to express a sense of humor; a very dry one.\\
'''Scott:''' (looking innocently) That's me, sir, life of the party.\\
'''Carol:''' All I have to do is teach you how to smile now.\\
'''Scott:''' Putting a smile on my face is like putting pastel colors on Wednesday Adams. Some things should just never be done.

Alex Harris is a Kryptonian with all the powers you would expect from a member of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'s species. When she is chewed out by her fellow Avengers for "letting [Alex Harris] go", Black Widow asks if they expected her to subdue the girl by breaking some of her bones on Alex's invulnerable body.

When asked if he's sexually attracted to horses, Shinji asks in return if the reporter is sexually attracted to chimpanzees, noting it's generally the same thing.

** Franchise/WonderWoman's daughter Fury's wit is immensely dry:
--->'''Mala:''' I do not particularly relish what I must do to the cousin of Kal-L. She is, after all, the last woman of our race. It was a hope of mine, though an illogical one, I grant, that she might realize our position, join the alliance, and bear us the start of a new generation of Kryptonians.\\
'''Fury:''' In your dreams. Maybe in her nightmares.
** Like mother, like daughter:
--->'''Badra''': I am not so foolish as to relinquish my own advantage, Diana. Held by those man-joined chains, your power is negated. Freed, you might be a threat to me... so the fetters will remain until the time of your execution. Or should I say, your murder?\\
'''Wonder Woman''': Greater than you have tried. I assume you keep me alive to see your masterstroke? That's the usual pattern with you mediocrities.\\
'''Badra:''' Mediocrities? No, Diana, the murder of a planet will be more than enough to satisfy even the harshest standards of those in my profession. I will allow you and your daughter to see it. You will know that, with your world's passing, your husband, your mother, your Amazon sisters, and your friends will pass as well. Then we will kill your daughter before your eyes. And then we will kill you.\\
'''Fury:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard it all before. Can't we just cut to the final reel, where we slap you back in jail, go back to the clubhouse, and crack a few corny jokes before the credits reel?

** Buffy is a big snarker:

** And so is Supergirl, per canon:
--->To Linda, this whole scenario was making less and less sense in one way and more and more in another. Either Buffy was lying about being connected with drugs, or, worse, she could be a courier carrying something for the Outfit. Further out, she might be connected with some new wacky super-villain who decided to turn up in town for this month’s battle. Well, at least she could probably rule out Ambush Bug.
** And Giles:
--->'''Supergirl:''' Something wrong, Mr. Giles?\\
'''Giles:''' I was just reflecting on some truly horrible movies that I used to watch as a child. Mostly, we saw them on TV... we had "Creature Features" in Britain, too. They must’ve been made in the Fifties and early Sixties. Monsters or aliens would land in a small town, a bunch of teenagers would be the only ones who knew about it, and they’d be forced to defeat the monster. Then they’d go back and hit the malt shop afterwards. When I got out of my youth, I thought those were the stupidest movies I’d ever seen. And now, God help me, it seems they’re a preparatory text for my life.
