* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' Delusions of godhood. Technically Sarda isn't a deity. [[spoiler:It's more like he ''wanted'' to be, which is why he went back in time to design the universe in his own image anyway. If anything, Sarda is a deconstruction of [[AGodAmI people who think they are/have the right to be deities]] by showing just how ''fucked up'' people of such mindsets have to be before they reach that conclusion. And, two words: Black Mage.]]

* ''Webcomic/DiveQuest'', from the guy behind ''Webcomic/RubyQuest'', deconstructs the usual structure of [[InteractiveComic Collective Games]] by having the "players" exist in universe, as facets of the protagonists personality, accessed through the Orb of Infinite Psyche. This proved so popular that it's been used in several other games. It also provided justification for switching the player character by having the second character find a shard of the orb.

** WorthyOpponent is also deconstructed. At first, Tarquin joins the Linear Guild because he wants to fight Roy after he proved himself in battle. But later, Tarquin believes that as long as Roy, Elan will never achieve his full potential as a hero. [[spoiler: So he orders his forces to kill him.]]

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' deconstructs the InverseNinjaLaw by having Frans Rayner actively invoke it. He was able to kill off most of the existing ninjas at once just by getting them in one place, [[spoiler: and, in an attempt to kill Dr. [=McNinja=], constantly cloned him and made the clones dumb as bricks, not only forcing the original Doctor to have his ninjaness spread thin, but prevent the clones from understanding strategy. The Doc was only able to win by ALSO deconstructing this trope by spouting several generic war buddy action movie lines and teaming up with Rayner, halving ''his'' ninjaness and making him vulnerable to the wave of ninja clones.]]

** It deconstructs KnightTemplar by making the religious zealot paladin almost completely incapable of accepting that she could be wrong, believing herself and her every action to be the work of the gods [[spoiler:even after she [[FallenHero loses her paladin powers]].

* ''Webcomic/NanasEverydayLife'' starts off as a [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross The Line Twice]], BreakTheCutie and [[BlackComedyRape Rape Her Regularily]] BlackComedy SadistShow until it eventually deconstructed BlackComedy as a whole by [[CerebusSyndrome upping the blackness]] to [[TearJerker heart wrenching]] levels and providing punchlines that only further served to highlight [[DudeNotFunny how utterly fucked up]] the "joke" really was.
