* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': The BigBad is Tai Lung (a snow leopard), the adopted son of Master Shifu (a red panda).

* Lelouch from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' could be considered a justified example of this trope as his father abandoned him and his sister. As a result, Lelouch resolved to destroy the Holy Britannian Empire and eventually kills his dad.
* In ''Manga/DeathNote'', VillainProtagonist Light Yagami is a mass murderer, and his father Soichiro is the police chief trying to stop him. However, Soichiro is unaware of his son's secret life, [[spoiler:and he dies believing that his son is innocent.]] In the second live-action movie, Light actually wrote his father's name down in the titular ArtifactOfDoom in an attempt to kill him. [[spoiler:Soichiro didn't die, but he did witness his son attempting to kill him.]]

Some children just don't see eye to eye with their parents. They may argue with them, flout their authority, or pretend they don't exist. This character, however, goes that extra mile. They're not only on a different page from their mom or dad, but a different side morally as well--and since the parent in question is at least nominally heroic, there is no way this is going to end well. Mom or dad might be a force for good, but their child is not, and is willing to let them know it. They're not {{Self Made Orphan}}s, but [[BetrayalByOffspring if they get their way, they will be soon.]] Also closely related to AbusiveOffspring, however, it's possible for antagonistic offspring to still retain some sort of heroic quality, or to merely ignore their parents; AbusiveOffspring are actually directly physically, sexually, or emotionally abusive to their parent.

* Some ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'' comics portray the relationship between the original Comicbook/{{Venom}} (a delusional Type V AntiHero who only targets Spider-Man) and his [[TheSymbiote symbiote's]] offspring, Carnage (an AxCrazy SerialKiller and indiscriminate mass-murderer) this way, complete with Carnage referring to Venom as dad. His appearance was one of the few things that was all but guaranteed to force an EnemyMine between [[ArchEnemy archenemies]] Venom and Spider-Man.

* From the Franchise/MarvelUniverse: The Blue Marvel Adam Brashear's older son Kevin was lost in the Neutral Zone in a battle with a supervillain. Adam's younger son Max resented his father for not saving his brother. Max eventually became a super villain and fell in with terrorist organization, all in a bid to bring his brother back. This brought father and son into conflict. Fortunately, they eventually reconciled.

* ''LiteratureThe/BlackCompany'':

* One of the villains of the later ''Literature/BlackCompany'' novels is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Daughter of Night]]. Raised by the cult of the Stranglers, a death cult worshipping [[GodOfEvil Kina]], she's also the child of Croaker and [[spoiler: Lady]].

** The climax of ''VideoGame/GodOfWar2'' has Athena reveal to Kratos that [[spoiler:[[BigBad Zeus]]]] is his father. This does ''very little'' to deter him from his vengeance.

** In the first ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'', Liara is a heroic version, as her mother Benezia is one of the game's main villains, [[spoiler:though not by choice. She initially wanted to turn Saren away from his goals, but was indoctrinated by Sovereign]].

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'': Liara is a heroic version, as her mother Benezia is one of the game's main villains. [[spoiler: Though not by choice. She initially wanted to turn Saren away from his goals, but was indoctrinated by Sovereign.]]
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Samara's loyalty mission is about hunting down her daughter Morinth, an [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Ardat-Yakshi]] who fled [[LockedAwayInAMonastery imprisonment]] and became a SerialKiller. There's also Miranda's relationship with her father, who is a MadScientist CorruptCorporateExecutive obsessed with securing his legacy through his genetically-engineered daughters, whether or not they are consenting. [[spoiler: She finally confronts him face-to-face in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', and can kill him by DestinationDefenestration.]]
* Liquid Snake/[[spoiler:Eli]] from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' has wanted to kill his "father" Big Boss since he was a kid, since he blames Big Boss for his "inferior" genes (or at least what he was led to believe were). He holds a grudge against his brother Solid Snake for being the clone with (what he thought were) Big Boss's "superior" genes, as well as being the one who killed Big Boss before he could.

* ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'' has this inverted with {{the sociopath}}ic Arcturus Mengsk and his heir apparent Valerian. Come ''Heart of the Swarm'', he's openly abandoned the Dominion, and [[spoiler:Arcturus is apparently content to kill his son alongside Kerrigan in order to see her dead.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 5'': Heihachi's father Jinpachi comes into play, showing himself to be an upstanding and kindhearted individual, unlike his son. Unfortunately, Heihachi challenged him for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, imprisoned him under Hon-Maru, and left him there for over forty years (and ''forgot'' about it), leading to Jinpachi dying and subsequently [[BackFromTheDead being revived]] by a [[DemonicPossession demon that now controls his body]]. Heihachi's own progeny, biological and adopted, all hate his guts for very good reasons. Heihachi's grandson Jin Kazama also hates him, to the point that he uses his mother's surname instead of the Mishima name and un-learned the fighting style Heihachi taught him in favor of traditional Karate. Jin is on equally bad terms with his father Kazuya as well.

* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': Rose Wilson is this to her father Deathstroke. Justifyed, considering he used a PsychoSerum to make her BrainwashedAndCrazy screwing up her and her life even after she was freed from his control.
