* In {{Ghostbusters}} Walter Peck shuts down the power to the Firehouse despite Egon's dire warnings that it would be like dropping a bomb on the city. This results in an enormous explosion and hundreds (possibly thousands) of ghosts being released back into New York all at once. Peck orders some nearby police to arrest the Ghostbusters, claiming they were directly responsible for causing the explosion. Egon ''completely losses it'', screams "YOUR MOTHER!!" and has to be ''physically restrained from tearing Peck apart with his bare hands.'' Remember, this is Egon Spengler!

* Easily one of the scarier examples of this trope is Gaear Grimsrud from {{Fargo}}. He hardly ever says a thing throughout the entire movie (something [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] early on by [[SteveBuscemi Steve Buscemi]]) but if provoked or put in a situation where he might get caught... well, let's just say that [[AxCrazy you don't want to be near him and an axe]].

* The ''TransformersPrime'' version of [[TheBlank Soundwave]] speaks using others' recorded sentances, rarely ever has a major starring role.. and can bash in heads with the greatest of ease, as [[DarkActionGirl Airachnid]] [[CurbStompBattle can attest to.]] He's the second-most feared Decepticon on the ''Nemesis'', right under Megatron himself.

This is why she is called ''Sasori'', or "Scorpion."

* The ''TransformersPrime'' version of [[TheBlank Soundwave]] only rarely speaks, and when he does, it's always a [[IronicEcho recorded snippet of some other character's dialogue]], not anything unique to him.
** In the season finale, When [[DarkActionGirl Airachnid]] elects to take control of the Deceptions and abandon Megatron when the faction was continuously unable to contact him, Soundwave was the only one to directly oppose her, and he effortlessly defeats her when she attacked him in response. During the fight, he doesn't even make a sound, and takes only one step... Onto Airachnid's head, to finish it.

* Yuki Sonada from ''MegaTokyo'' kind of fits this trope (more since her magical girl abilities awakened, than in her earlier appearances). That is, assuming she's not just being stereotyped as an over-emotional teenage girl.
** So do Piro and Ping, but if pushed over the edge they can be [[RageBreakingPoint physically violent]], too.
