* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has a rare heroic example in "How The Paladin Got His Scar". At the climax of his breakdown, Gin-Jun attacks an unarmed O-Chul, leaving him with a serious scar. While O-Chul could have had the scar magically removed, he instead asked to keep it so that the members of the Sapphire Guard (including himself) would always be reminded of the depths to which their former leader sank.

* Done twice in ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'': firstly by the original Zorro, Diego de la Vega, who leaves a [[ZorroMark Z-shaped scar]] on the neck of Don Rafael during a fight; then by Diego's protege, Alejandro Murieta, who leaves an M-shaped scar on the cheek of Rafael's henchman Captain Love.
* ''Film/MySuperExGirlfriend'': Played for laughs. G-Girl uses EyeBeams to smolder "DICK" onto Matt's forehead, making for some very literal, if {{disproportionate| retribution}}, LaserGuidedKarma.
* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'': Mercedes carves a half-GlasgowGrin into Captain Vidal, saying "You won't be the first pig I've gutted!" (However, the wound never actually scars, since [[spoiler:Vidal [[DeathByDisfigurement dies later that night]]]].)
[[/folder]]
* In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', Batman has started branding criminals he brings in with the Bat symbol as a sign that he is [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil going a bit off the deep end]].
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': When the Joker is about to [[GlasgowGrin carve the same smile]] into Rachel Dawson, she sends him reeling back with a [[DefiantCaptive kick in the shin]]. This at first only seems to egg him on further, but Batman swoops in JustInTime.
* ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'': Cutter gives this to Amsterdam, after the latter's [[AssassinOutclassin failed attempt]] on the former's life.
* ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'': This is Lt. Aldo "the Apache" Raine's CallingCard. He and his men [[SpareAMessenger leave a]] SoleSurvivor in an ambush, who usually looks forward to StartingANewLife and "[[RetiredMonster taking off [his] uniform]]." Lt. Raine then sets out to [[ThisIsUnforgivable make sure he can't take his uniform off]], as he carves [[MarkOfShame a giant swastika]] into the Nazi's forehead.
* In ''Film/KillBill'', when talking about the titular BigBad's [[TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain coma-inducing gunshot]] that began the film, Esteban Vihaio states that he [[CruelMercy simply would've]] [[MarkOfShame cut her face]], were he Bill. Soon after, he summons one of his [[TheOldestProfession prostitutes]], Clarita, who had a [[FacialHorror cleft cut into her lips]] and [[MyGodYouAreSerious presumably met such a fate]].
