[[folder:Real Life]]
* The famous Filipino painter Juan Luna endured a particularly gruesome example of this trope. Luna's marriage with his wife, Maria, in Paris, became increasingly unstable as he harbored suspicions of her going out with a Frenchman. It didn't help that he was part of a family known for its [[Film/HeneralLuna legendary temper]]. In a fit of rage, he got hold of a gun, stormed to the room containing Maria and her mother, and shot both in the head, killing them. The murder charges filed against him were eventually done away with, possibly due to Parisian society then [[NoWomansLand forgiving the crime of killing an unfaithful wife]].
* Jake La Motta, whose obsessive jealousy of his wife was made into the film ''Film/RagingBull''.
* A famous example is Burt Pugagh who, upon discovering his ex was engaged to another man, paid thugs to throw lye in her face, permanently blinding her. [[NoAccountingForTaste Amazingly, she ended up marrying him]].
* Creator/PamelaAnderson has claimed [[Music/MotleyCrue Tommy Lee]] could sometimes be like this.
* Former adult film star Jenna Jameson writes in her autobiography of having a very possessive boyfriend.
* Despite being constantly unfaithful to her, Creator/OJSimpson was very jealous of other men showing interest in his wife Nicole, both when they were married and after they divorced. It's thought by many as a probable motive in her murder, as on seeing her with waiter Ronald Goldman (he was returning the glasses she'd left behind in the restaurant), a younger, handsome man (while OJ was slashing her tires - he had been stalking her after their divorce) he then killed them both with the knife. He had already been [[DomesticAbuse abusive]] during their marriage, and many survivors of this were very outraged by his acquittal in their murders, as many suffer this behavior quite often in reality, including with violence.
* John Sweeney, the boyfriend of actress Creator/DominiqueDunne, was very jealous, especially over actors with whom she did love scenes. She ended the relationship due to his abuse and possessiveness and was tragically killed by him. He was jailed for 6 1/2 years for manslaughter in 1983. The case provoked considerable controversy due to the perceived leniency of the sentence.
* Raoul Moat. After getting out of prison, his ex told him that she was in a relationship with a police officer (she was actually lying in an attempt to get him to leave her alone). He responded by posting threats to police and others on his Facebook profile and making further detailed threats in two subsequent letters and several phone calls to police stating he would continue to shoot police officers until he was dead. He then shot his ex and her new boyfriend (killing him and seriously injuring her), killed several other innocent bystanders and blinded a policeman. He later died of suicide after a standoff with police.
* Nikki Sixx wrote in the Music/MotleyCrue autobiography ''The Dirt'' that he planned to shoot his wife's lover in the testicles, but realized he would ruin his own life by doing so. He also wrote in his own memoir, ''The Heroin Diaries,'' that he planned on getting some bikers to break the legs of the actor Jack Wagner because he thought he had sex with his girlfriend while Motley Crue was touring.
* Music/{{Eminem}} was put on probation for assaulting the man he claimed he saw kissing his wife, Kim.
* Creator/RichardPryor admitted being like this when in a state of drug-fueled paranoia.
* Music/MarilynManson wrote in his autobiography of witnessing his father behave like this towards his mother.
* Wrestling/RandySavage was this both in and out of the ring towards his then valet/wife[[note]]Randy Poffo and Elizabeth Hulette got married in RealLife in December 1984. They got "married" in the storyline at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 91''.[[/note]] Wrestling/MissElizabeth. There were several instances of Savage locking her in the dressing room whenever he left the room, along with the infamous rumor of him giving Wrestling/HulkHogan a black eye after she left Savage and moved in temporarily with the Hogans.
* Creator/CharlesBronson was very protective of his girlfriend and later wife Jill Ireland. When Jill guest-starred on the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "This Side of Paradise" as Spock's LoveInterest, Bronson stayed on set to "keep an eye on her", making Creator/LeonardNimoy very nervous.

Of course, all bets are off when this trope is mixed with the BoysLove or HoYay, which is certainly not all that rare; in fact, the biggest PlayedForLaughs examples tend to come from this field.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{Adekan}}'' has several, but the most notable is probably [[DepravedBisexual Anri]], who seethes with jealousy when watching Shiro act flirtatious with a woman.
* On ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', Urd's ex-boyfriend Troubador was one of these. According to Urd, back when they were dating he would use his powers to make bugs and insects crawl out of the bodies of any men who tried to flirt with her. He tried the same thing on Keiichi when he mistakenly believed Keiichi and Urd were seeing each other.
* ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'':
** Riki's UnluckyChildhoodFriend Guy. He is so in love with Riki that [[spoiler:he gives him an unwanted penectomy (to remove the pet ring that was on his penis), as he's told that as long as Riki wears Iason's pet ring he'll never be free of him. He also blows up a fortress to kill Iason, Riki's lover]].
** Iason Mink himself is one of these, and like Guy, he becomes extremely obsessed with Riki. It's not touched upon in the OVA, but the novel and audio drama have scenes where Riki sleeps with a female pet and is subsequently brutally tortured by Iason for "betraying" him.
* In ''Manga/AirGear'' the Agito side of Akito's personality is normally the rather AxCrazy one but Akito is even shown to have a dark side of his own, becoming jealous to the point of scaring Kururu when she gets too close to Ikki.
* Elias from ''Manga/TheAncientMagusBride'' has had some moments of this; in particular, after his fiance Chise starts spending more time with friends, he doesn't know how to express his jealousy, and so [[spoiler:transforms into his giant monster self and holds Chise a little too tight in his [[NotWhatItLooksLike shadow/tentacle cavern]] until she threatens to kill herself to make him let her go]]. And she's still all about staying with him afterwards.
** Apparently he didn't learn his lesson the first time, because Elias takes it to the extreme when [[spoiler:he attempts to sacrifice Chise's ten-year-old friend Stella in order to save Chise's life]]. And he admits his choice of "who" was largely based on jealousy. Chise doesn't forgive him so easily this time.
* ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'': Hoshi over Nino. She barely even notices.
* Tokiwa from ''Manga/AskDrRin'' spends the first few episodes either trying to win Meirin over or MurderTheHypotenuse, even if said "winning her over" means trapping her in a potential AndIMustScream situation. [[spoiler:This is subverted, once the demon who has been possessing him is exorcised. The actual Tokiwa is a very sweet, if a little doofy, ChickMagnet who [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Just Wants His Beloved To Be Happy]]]].
* Griffith from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' acted a lot like one of these towards Guts in the past. After Guts left the Hawks, Griffith's life went to hell and he grew to hate Guts and obsess over Casca instead. Learning first hand that Guts and Casca were lovers ultimately cause Griffith to [[{{Yandere}} snap]]. No, it does not end well for either of them when the Eclipse goes down.
** Guts himself has shades of this, due to his feelings towards Casca he gets angry that she blames him for Griffith’s injuries and Guts bitterly laments to Judeau that Casca will never look past Griffith. Even after Guts is proved wrong and gets a RelationshipUpgrade with Casca, he still gets pissy that Casca still cares deeply for Griffith. Post-Eclipse Guts’s fierce love for Casca is exploited by his EnemyWithin, who plays upon Guts’s sexual frustration (since [[TheOphelia he couldn’t touch Casca]]) and nearly forces him to ravish her.
** The King of Midland is this towards Charlotte. [[{{Squick}} His daughter]]. When the King discovers Griffith has taken Charlotte’s virginity, he personally whips Griffith and has him tortured for a year, then he tries to rape Charlotte while she sleeps. Last time we see the King before he dies he’s still obsessed with his daughter and still loathes Griffith.
** Serpico is definitely this towards his salf-sister Farnese) since he has devoted his entire life to her and really doesn’t appreciate Guts flipping Farnese’s world on its head. Serpico has fought Guts three times over Farnese and he even admits to Guts he wanted to kill him out of jealousy for giving purpose to her life. Thankfully Serpico mellows out and thanks Guts.
* ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName'': Luka is a mild version towards Yuki in both his [[HoYay male incarnation]] and female incarnation. He gets very noticeably pissed off and annoyed whenever he sees anyone touching or acting friendly with Yuki. He's also very protective of him.
* Kyo from ''Manga/BlackBird2006'' can slip into this towards Misao at times.
* Alois Trancy of ''Manga/BlackButler'' has tendencies of this sort towards Claude. Sebastian can be seen as this towards Ciel, once stating that "Young master is ''mine''."
* ''Manga/BlackCat'': Creed [[InLoveWithYourCarnage is in love with Train's carnage]], and wants him badly. Badly enough that he gets downright murderous toward anyone he sees as "in the way", including Train's not-girlfriend Saya.
* In ''Manga/BlendS'', Dino doesn't take it well when he hears Maika may be dating someone. Also says he'll never let her quit, which is usually said in a cutesy manner, but can probably be mistaken for this trope as well.
* ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers'': Tsukasa Domyoji towards Tsukushi Makino, to the point of [[spoiler: almost raping her]] out of sheer jealousy. He gets better later though.
* In ''Manga/Brave10'', Kamanosuke is an AxeCrazy {{yandere}} [[InLoveWithYourCarnage in love with Saizo's carnage]] and is very clear that Saizo is his to battle ToThePain with and no one's allowed to interfere. He naturally has a rivalry with [[ClingyJealousGirl Isanami]] over their claims on Saizo.
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
** Conan/Shinichi himself gets ''very'' jealous whenever it seems that someone else might be interested in Ran. Considering that Conan is a DeadpanSnarker who can't exactly act on it due to having been shrunk to a kid's age, it's almost all PlayedForLaughs.
** Heiji is also a mild version for Kazuha, [[ObliviousToLove even without noticing.]]
* ''Manga/CeresCelestialLegend'': [[spoiler: Shiso/The Progenitor]] to Ceres - stalking her across time, [[spoiler: killing one of their own children]] due to jealousy, and basically ''causing the whole plot'' over his possessiveness of Ceres.
* Taichi in ''Manga/{{Chihayafuru}}'' struggles with this. As children, when he realised Arata and Chihaya were becoming friends and that Arata might actually be able to beat him in karuta (while Taichi was used to being TheAce due to his overbearing mother), he stole Arata's glasses before a match so he'd lose. Unfortunately for him, Chihaya already liked him so much that she offered to take his place. Later, when he and Arata meet at a tournament and it seems that Arata will finally be returning to karuta, Arata gives Taichi his phone number to pass to Chihaya. Taichi seriously considers destroying it, but his jealousy surprisingly recedes when Chihaya suddenly appears at the match as well and the three old friends are reunited. However, he doesn't care when other any other guy looks at Chihaya, and barely reacts even when she's asked out, because he knows that a) the vast majority of guys get turned off when they realise what a HotBlooded karuta fanatic she is, and b) she connects to people strongly through karuta so he only sees strong opponents like Arata as threats.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
** Rolo Lamperouge towards Lelouch, with a bit of {{Yandere}} and TykeBomb mixed in. [[spoiler: The results were ''not'' pretty. [[MurderTheHypotenuse Poor Shirley]].]]
** Mao too, towards C.C. [[spoiler: [[ButtMonkey Again]], [[BreakTheCutie poor]] [[MindRape Shirley]].]]
* ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOro'': Yunoki shows mild signs of this early on when Hino is first getting close to Hihara; i.e., the minor chord and ominous background that occurs as he watches Hino and Hihara joke around. Fortunately, he shifts gears pretty quickly after he gets to know Hino better and Hihara displays genuine interest in her. He also shows subtle signs of this towards Hino, getting somewhat jealous when he heard she was hanging out with Tsukimori, Tsuchira, and Hihara in one chapter in the manga and later asking her privately if he can't have "fun" with her too. Also, Tsuchira for Hino.
* In ''LightNovel/{{Corsair}}'', after discovering that Sesaam is alive and thinking Canale is going back to him, [[FetishizedAbuser Ayace]] goes into crazy jealous mode. [[spoiler: Just half an hour earlier, Canale had rejected Sesaam because he realized he was in love with Ayace.]] Ouch. Wrong choice, Canale.
* The dual protagonists of ''Manga/CrimsonSpell'' have a mutual variation of this going. Each refers to the other as [[PropertyOfLove theirs]] and doesn't want anyone to touch the other aside from themselves. Havi is the more overt case but Vald proves just as bad, only better at keeping it under wraps. It shows most obviously during his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide demonic transformations]]; at one point, he threatens to destroy the world if Havi leaves him. Even Vald in his human form has his moments, as when he cracks a wall with the strength of his grip while watching Havi surrounded by women.
%%* The yaoi manga ''Manga/CuteDevil'' (and its sequel) has Naruse towards Akiyoshi.
* In episode 17 of ''Manga/DNAngel,'' Saehara acts like one of these for Mio Hio. And in episode 23, Kael acts like one for Freedert.
* Maki in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', ([[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior despite being]] a [[AdorablyPrecociousChild cute little kid]]), right down to trying to murder the guy his crush is in love with.
* ''Manga/DawnOfTheArcana'': Caesar can get quite clingy and easily jealous when it comes to Nakaba. Also, Chapter 21 seemingly hints that Loki has feelings for Nakaba and is jealous of Caesar's relationship with her.
* Genkaku from ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' gets very annoyed and angry whenever he sees the possibility of a girl getting close to Nagi. (In regards to Shiro, he is shown being extremely agitated, wondering what relationship she has with Nagi, and saying that Nagi never learns, and that he'll just have to punish him again - which he tries by attempting to have Shiro and Karako raped. In regards to Karako, he stabs her when she hugs Nagi, telling her, "Don't touch my carnage, you shitty girl.") And later, Nagi does a double suicide with Genkaku, holding him down so Ganta can kill him. Genkaku appears extremely happy, and calls Nagi his "savior". He was also the one that killed Nagi's wife in the beginning.
* In the manga ''Manga/DesireClimax,'' both Hina and Shoei demonstrate these tendencies towards Mio. Hina even more so, since on many occasions, despite his cute and angelic appearance, he has demonstrated a chilling cruel streak and a manipulative personality; he wants Mio and is apparently willing to use tricks, blackmail, lies, and outright attempted rape to separate her from Shoei. He has even gone so far as to trick a half-blind Shoei into thinking he was Mio so he could attempt to seduce him, later telling Mio that he didn't do that because he loves Shoei, but rather because he would be "willing to do anything if it means I could separate you from that guy". He himself proudly admits that he's crazy when Mio calls him out on his actions, and attempts to seduce her. Thankfully, both he and Shoei mellow out eventually.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'': Komui is implied to be [[BrotherSisterIncest in love with his sister Lenalee]], and goes nuts if there's even a hint of a guy being interested in her. In fact, a way to wake him up is to say, "Lenalee's getting married." In the novel, when Bak (who also has feelings for her) gives Komui a tea that makes one tell the truth, he has a breakdown when Bak asks, "Isn't Lenalee free to love who she wants?" He takes this to mean that Lenalee is in love with a guy and immediately pulls out a machine gun, saying, "Then I'll kill everyone and then die!"
* ''Manga/{{FAKE}}'':
** JJ, who keeps following his "sempai" Dee Laytner and clinging to him. [[spoiler: He gets over it, lets go of Dee willingly... and gets a boyfriend (sorta) in the epilogue.]]
** Dee can move completely into this trope at warp-speed if he feels motivated enough. Ryo can also suffer from GreenEyedMonster syndrome on occasion, and when he does:
--->'''Dee:''' And '''[[PrecisionFStrike holy shit]]''', but you can be an awfully catty [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!
* Saito is one for Louise in ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', though definitely not to the extent that Louise is a ClingyJealousGirl for him.
* Shin from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' towards Yuria, in fact it only took Jagi [[ManipulativeBastard suggesting]] to Shin that Kenshrio wasn't strong enough to protect Yuria which caused Shin to attack Kenshiro, stabbing his fingers into Ken's chest and not stop until Yuria said she loved him. At this point Shin is so crazed with love, he takes Yuria's words of desperation as "proof" of her love and even gloats to Kenshiro over it, before carting Yuria off and leaving Ken for dead. Of course Shin gets further angered that Yuria still doesn't love him and isn't impressed by his warmongering, [[spoiler: and is heartbroken when Yuria seemly kills herself, Shin even makes a doll of Yuria to torture Kenshiro with]].
** In the anime, Shin tries to make Yuria think Kenshiro is dead and murders two henchmen who reveal Kenshiro survived in front of Yuria.
* This is hinted at just once in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', when the AnimatedArmor serial killer Barry the Chopper attacks Riza Hawkeye. Because she shoots him instead of freaking out and screaming, he decides that he's in love with her. She puts in a call to her commanding officer, [[ColonelBadass Roy Mustang]], who arrives on the scene to witness Barry putting his arms around her waist. It's quite obvious that Riza is ''not'' happy with the situation, and Roy reacts by growling and putting on his ignition gloves, telling her to move out of the way so he can ''set Barry on fire'' for the impertinence. (This is the first hint in the story that the relationship between [[SubordinateExcuse Roy]] and [[BodyguardCrush Riza]] isn't exactly platonic.)
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':
** Gauron for Sousuke. Nothing pisses him off more than seeing Sousuke hanging out with his friends, or just simply having a life besides fighting Gauron. Gauron's reaction normally involves [[MurderTheHypotenuse trying to eliminate these people in violent ways]].
** Leonard Testarossa, one of the primary antagonists of the series. Leonard is [[{{Bishonen}} handsome]], [[WickedCultured sophisticated]], and [[TheCasanova popular with the ladies]]. Which is why it drives him over the edge when his advances towards Kaname are vehemently rejected, because she yearns for Sosuke Sagara. Leonard's sister has a crush on Sosuke and is at odds with him. Sosuke keeps interfering with Leonard's plans. As the series progresses, Leonard becomes more crazy and unstable.
* Kyo of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' turns into a very mild version of this around every guy who has some sort of relationship with Tohru, whom he [[spoiler: eventually marries]].
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'': Suboshi for Yui.
* [[{{Reincarnation}} Date Masamune]] from ''Manga/Gate7'' is a Crazy Jealous Guy PlayedForLaughs. He's a ChaoticGood just because his "kitten" Hana is in the Urashichiken, he get lose in his own ImagineSpot of Hana when he should being kicking ass and since his subordinate's main job is scold him when he gets over the line, HilarityEnsues. But he tries to MurderTheHypotenuse ''twice''.
* ''Manga/GetBackers'': Takuma Fudou over Ban Midou. At one point he says to Ginji Amano, Ban's HeterosexualLifePartner, "When you're around, Midou doesn't even notice me. Midou's eyes are not on me... because you're in the way!" and tries to kill Ginji.
* Exploited in ''Manhua/GoddessCreationSystem''. Xiaxi knows that Mingyi is a narcissist who can't stand being disrespected or being denied what he wants, so she talks about how great his brother is to him constantly and how much she scorns Mingyi in comparison. He absolutely can't stand it and nearly rapes her at one point.
* Hakuron from ''Manga/HaouAiren'' (who ''does'' cross into sexual assault towards Kurumi [[spoiler: and [[KarmicDeath gets killed]] by the guy whom he ForcedToWatch his rape of her]]).
* In ''Manga/HappyYarouWedding'', Todou has his moments when he thinks Yuuhi's cheating in any way.
* Katou from ''Manga/HaruWoDaiteita'' can drift into this territory when Iwaki is concerned. And he tends to react badly [[BerserkButton if anyone hurts him]].
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
** When Japan visits Greece's home and Turkey shows up all of a sudden, ''both'' Greece and Turkey ([[SitcomArchNemesis who hate each other as it is]]) turn into this towards Japan. HilarityEnsues.
** China is a non-romantic example with a side order of MeddlingParents, as he can be very clingy towards his younger siblings, treating them like children. Their reactions vary: Hong Kong gets VERY pissy, Macau becomes passive-aggressive, Taiwan goes {{Tsundere}}...
** Lest we forget the resident male {{Yandere}}?
--->'''Russia:''' So please be good to him from now on, okay? ''[[CuteAndPsycho He used to be mine]], [[SlasherSmile after all.]]''
* Arima of ''Manga/HisAndHerCircumstances'' fights with these feelings in regards to his girlfriend Yukino.
%%* Q-Ta of ''Manga/HoneyHunt'' over Yura.
* Ryoki from ''Manga/HotGimmick'' for Hatsumi. He's utterly obsessed with Hatsumi, and while he at first just wants her to be his "slave," he eventually makes her his girlfriend. She's reluctant to get involved with him because he always seemed "scary" and she was genuinely terrified of him for a bit, due to an incident when they were younger where she suspected that he pushed her down the stairs. She gradually develops feelings for him, but still has moments where she feels extremely put off and scared of his overly possessive and violent nature. His violent obsession over her develops to the extent where he firmly states that she's not allowed to even think of/love any other guy except him, even her own brother. He also demands that she should keep conversations with all men under one minute, answer the phone on the first ring when he calls, and show up at least an hour early to all dates; he also often overreacts when a male's name is mentioned in conversation, even if it's just her little brother. If he happens to see her with another guy, he tends to go off on a jealous rage and hit her. She finally tells him she can't be with him anymore when he orders her to make the impossible decision of choosing between him or her family. When she leaves, him he says, "That stupid woman... If she can't be mine she should just die." She eventually gets back together with him, though, and agrees to marry him at the end in the hope that he'll start being nicer to her if she stays with him. [[spoiler: Hatsumi ends up with Ryoki in the ending of the manga. However, in the Hot Gimmick S novel, which provides an Alternate Universe ending, Hatsumi ends up with Shinogu, her Unlucky Childhood Friend.]]
* In ''LightNovel/HowToRaiseABoringGirlfriend'', Tomoya, who claims to only like 2D girls, gets rather upset when he sees Megumi walk into the restaurant where he was working part-time, accompanied by her male cousin. He later asks to go on her shopping date instead of her cousin.
* In ''Manga/{{Jagaaaaaan}}'', Robahata -- or "Roba-Chan" -- does ''not'' react well when he watches Karen lose her virginity.
* Naoki of ''Manga/{{Jazz}}'', leading to a particularly horrible KickTheDog moment with his lover Narusawa.
* Usami Akihiko of ''Manga/JunjouRomantica''. He said himself that if Misaki ever attempts to leave, he will lock him up so no one can take him away. Fortunately Usami hasn't acted on it... yet. Misaki said Usagi was "his" when Sumi tried to kiss him.
** Nowaki and Hiroki from ''Junjou Egoist'' have both shown this in regards to each other; such as when Nowaki sees Miyagi attempt to kiss Hiroki, he pushes the two apart, grabs Miyagi's collar, raises his fist, and looks like he wants to beat the living crap out of him - and Nowaki is a GentleGiant. Hiroki goes to the hospital where Nowaki works and sees one of his work sempai fawning over him, claiming him as "his," and latching onto him; Hiroki has an inner monologue saying he doesn't want to do anything embarrassing, as he marches up to the sempai, thwacks his head, and tells him to get his hands off "his" Nowaki.
** Shinobu of ''Junjou Terrorist'' gets jealous seeing a picture of Miyagi's deceased sensei whom he used to love back when he was Shinobu's age. Shinobu cries from frustration, thinking that he'll never be able to compete with her, and feels Miyagi will never love him completely; Miyagi puts those fears to rest, though. Miyagi usually acts nonchalant towards Shinobu, but when he sees Shinobu with an attractive foreigner when Shinobu was avoiding him, Miyagi's reaction is to grab Shinobu, throw him in his car, and kiss him.
* ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'':
** Tomoe, he normally is a regular asshole to the heroine Nanami but should another man even ''look'' at her, much less ''talk'' to her, watch out. It's usually PlayedForLaughs - it's a Shojo series after all - particularly since it's one of the first early hints to his [[CanNotSpitItOut true feelings]].
** Mizuki also has quite a bit of jealousy towards Tomoe and he is often seen trying to get Nanami to hate Tomoe by telling her lies and half-truths about him. Also played for laughs usually.
%%* ''KarakuridoujiUltimo'': [[HoYay Rune towards Yamato]].
* Gilbert from ''Manga/KazeToKiNoUta''. Befriend Auguste at your own risk. Auguste himself is an even worse offender towards Gilbert.
* Yusaku from ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad''. 90% of his ButtMonkey episodes come from him trying to forcibly get in Hikaru's good graces, no matter what ''she'' thinks about it. In fact, Hikaru openly tells him she's not interested in him but on Kyousuke, but Yusaku simply ''refuses'' to listen to her.
* Kazehaya of ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' is this to Sawako, although as a minor and played completely sympathetic trait.
* ''Manga/{{Kizuna}}'':
** Ranmaru acts like this a bit about Enjouji, but it's nowhere near the serious poextent to which Enjouji acts around Ranmaru. Apparently it's InTheBlood, because his half-brother Kai acts the same way around first Ranmaru, and later Masa.
** Then there's Jack, who will kill you if you sleep with Roy. He will take a sniper gun and put a bullet through your brain if you fuck his boyfriend.
* [[TallDarkAndHandsome Haru Tsubaki]] of ''Manga/KoiDanoAiDano'' acts this way towards his best friend and crush [[DeadpanSnarker Kanoko]]. After getting called out on it by [[TheIngenue Momoko]], he starts to ease up.
* ''LightNovel/KyouKaraMaou'':
** Wolfram harbors a borderline obsessive jealousy in regards to his [[AccidentalMarriage accidental fiance]] Yuuri.
** Sara is a borderline possessive {{Yandere}} in regards to Yuuri.
* ''Manhwa/LetDai'': Dai. Ladies, Jaehee is off-limits. Seriously.
* In the manga ''Manga/LilimKiss'', [[spoiler: Souma, the one who previously released the titular succubus]] hated the fact Lilim did not drain him exclusively and went out to other guys during the night [[spoiler:despite his attempts to force her to stay with him alone he ended up sealing her in a jealous rage. Upon learning she was released and didn't remember him and stayed with Takaya exclusively even though Takaya never threatened her, he steals the pendant and seals Lilim again so she will be his and his alone.]]
* In the manga ''Manga/LovePistols'', this is both PlayedForLaughs and played straight. Norririn ''acts'' like this in true ClingyJealousGirl fashion whenever Kunimasa pays too much attention to anyone else, but he's never really serious about it, and he's in fact [[HeroicSelfDeprecation so uncertain about Kunimasa's feelings for him]] that when Kunimasa tries to play off their relationship like it doesn't mean anything to him, Norririn is incredibly hurt and breaks up with him. However, this trope is then played completely straight in ''Kunimasa'' who actually ''can't'' stand the thought of anyone else touching Norririn, and acts [[BerserkButton rather more violently if this occurs.]]
* In ''Manga/LoveSoLife'', [[spoiler: Nao]] does ''not'' like other men getting near Shiharu.
* Atsushi Otani from ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' is a bit like this towards Risa Koizumi, but subtler than the standard.
* Rolan of ''Manga/{{MAR}}'' shows signs of this during the Ghost Chess arc when Alviss tells him that Phantom likes him better. Cue, the two start fighting.
* ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'':
** Kei is maybe the worst among Miki's suitors in regards to this. In the anime, however, he ''does'' get better.
** In the anime, both of the Grant boys show traces of this: older brother Brian is one for Ginny, younger brother Michael is another for Miki. They mellow out later. Ironically, Michael's most direct rival for Miki isn't Yuu... but the OlderAndWiser Kei.
* Naoe from ''LightNovel/MirageOfBlaze'' expresses tendencies of this sort towards Kagetora. He was prepared to kill Kagetora and himself so that Kagetora will "never belong to anyone else". He also murders the hypotenuse by raping Kagetora's lover, and later forcing Kagetora to possess her to save his life.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'': Hathaway and Gyunei, formerly the KidHero and OnlySaneMan of the film, devolve into this after meeting Quess Paraya, and both of them are driven to commit acts of murder for Quess's sake. Since Quess is a [[PsychicPowers Newtype]], it's possible [[MoreThanMindControl hormones alone are not to blame]].
* Just like Yuno is a ClingyJealousGirl for Yukiteru in ''Manga/FutureDiary'', Akise is a Crazy Jealous Guy for him too. But while Yuno is more violent, Akise is more passive-aggressive and manipulative.
* ''Manga/NabariNoOu'': Raikou looks mildly annoyed whenever Gau interacts with or talks about Yoite. It's almost like he's jealous. Both Raikou and Gau state at some point that they would do anything for each other. Gau is so devoted to Raikou that he's willing to kill himself to make Raikou happier. Raikou, for his part, is protective of Gau to the point that when a mook hurts Gau, Raikou goes completely berserk, kills him, and mutilates his dead body.
* Gendo towards Yui in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. Also, in ''Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelionAngelicDays'', Asuka and Kaworu are Shinji's childhood friends. [[HeroesWantRedheads Shinji likes Asuka]] and Kaworu is severely possessive of the boy when she or Rei get too close.
* In ''Manga/OkaneGaNai'', you have [[FetishizedAbuser Kanou]] and Ayase. Long story short: Kanou is ''ridiculously'' jealous and possessive, and ''hates'' Ayase even having ''contact'' with anyone other than him. Considering that Ayase is adorably cute and has EvenTheGuysWantHim to an extreme that [[GenreShift may eventually shift genres]] [[ScienceFiction into sci-fi territory]] (no, seriously, he has been nearly been raped so many times that it's just not funny, and there has been WildMassGuessing that he will turn out to be some alien creature that secretes pheromones), and Ayase has the [[TooDumbToLive survival instinct of a newborn bunny rabbit on a six-lane interstate highway]], you can almost forgive the guy for being so protective. However, Kanou has huge issues [[CannotSpitItOut telling Ayase that he loves him]], and so if anyone even ''hints'' that they have an interest in him, he shows his affection in other, more painful ways.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Sanji can be a NiceGuy, but can also get very jealous when it comes to women he likes e.g Heaby one of the henchmen from the third ''Franchise/OnePiece'' movie, Anime/ChoppersKingdomOnTheIslandOfStrangeAnimals, made the mistake of hitting on Nami in front of Sanji, resulting in him getting ''beaten senseless'' before the movie's end. Forget villains, Sanji will get jealous of any man who has better luck with women than himself; he was BurningWithAnger that Luffy got to train in [[LadyLand Amazon Lily]] for two years while he was in IronicHell and got further jealous upon learning Luffy has bonded with both Boa Hancock and Shirahoshi. Sanji also got jealous of DirtyKid Momonosuke getting coddled by Nami and Robin, Sanji also got jealous of Zoro’s relationships with Tashigi and Hiyori and in the Enies Lobby anime, he was visibly jealousy of Franky getting cozy with Robin.
*** Bizarrely Sanji even gets jealous of Nami’s [[{{Cumulonemesis}} sentient cloud]] Zeus, this time even [[DirtyOldMan Brook]] calls Sanji out on trying to start a CockFight with living water vapor.
** The Bear King from ''Anime/ClockworkIslandAdventure'' towards Nami as when he learns Nami let Sanji rub suntan lotion on her naked back, ''he goes ballistic'' beating Sanji around and then has him crucified.
** Absalom from Thriller Bark is hinted at being this, he’ll stop at nothing [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe trying to marry Nami]] and when he sees Sanji “touching his bride” he tries to blast him with his invisible hand cannons. It gets more explicit when Sanji continues to keep Nami from him, as Absalom stabs Sanji in the back with a knife and mocks him for not being able to protect her, this triggers Sanji's BerserkButton.
** Doctor Hogback from the same arc was [[LoonyFan obsessed]] with Victoria Cindry and proposed to her, she rejected him since she already had a fiancé. When Cindry died Hogback teamed up with Gecko Moria to resurrect her and makes Cindry his personal slave, if that wasn’t bad enough Hogback mistreats Cindry out of spite for her rejection of him when she was alive.
** Shogun Orochi in Wano arc towards Komurasaki aka Hiyori, he’s obsessed with her and her rejection of him causes Orochi to take his frustrations out on nearby {{Mooks}}. When Komurasaki seemly dies Orochi becomes crazed and blames everyone including an innocent girl for her death.
* In ''Anime/OnegaiSamiaDon'', Simon "Sil" Turner is this for his cute neighbor Anne. Since he's also a ButtMonkey, it's more often than not PlayedForLaughs.
* ''Manga/OnlyTheFlowerKnows'': Kawabata acts very possessively towards Misaki, ostensibly out of jealousy. He apparently interrogates him about any acquaintances he makes at his university - and then he ''really'' doesn't like it when [[RelationshipUpgrade Misaki hooks up with Arikawa]].
* Harry in ''Manga/OutlawStar'' is very much this with additional stalker tendencies whenever he is around Melfina, and becomes irrational to the point of violence when she repeatedly rejects his advances and starts to spend a lot of time with Gene. Gene also acts like this around Melfina at times, though definitely not to the extent that Harry does.
* Tamaki of ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' can sometimes fall into this in regards to Haruhi. He's mostly harmless, though, and a lovable idiot. Other members of the Host Club, particularly Hikaru, also behave like this about her from time to time; but again, they're mostly harmless about it.
%%* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': Gilbert for [[HoYay Oz]] and Vincent for his brother Gilbert.
* Osanai from ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'' tries to strangle someone who tried to take Paprika away from him.
* Suzu of ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane'' towards Yoshida and later towards Tetsunosuke.
%%* Touji of ''Anime/PeachGirl'' for Momo.
* Jin towards Misaki in ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou''. While he himself [[CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest makes no moves on her]], when he overhears a couple of boys mention having sex with her, he immediately starts a fight with all three of them.
* ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'': Kuranosuke finds himself becoming jealous when Shu hugs Tsukimi and shoves them apart telling him to "Get your paws off of her!"
* Fushimi of ''Anime/ProjectK'' is this for Yata. Emphasis on the [[LoveMakesYouCrazy crazy]] part. He's so far gone that he'd rather be hated by him because at least that's better than being nothing at all.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** Kunō, except that he's more low-key than the girls and rarely {{Glomp}} the girls he's interested in. (Kunō because, unless he catches them by surprise, Akane and Ranma beat his head in for trying.) Mousse, though, is one of these through and through -- even the fact his antics usually get him beaten up (by either the girl he chases or by someone he glomps by mistake) fails to dissuade him. (All PlayedForLaughs.)
** Also, whenever Akane seemingly shows interest in anyone other than him, Ranma's jealousy knows no bounds. And when Ranma is hit with a [[LovePotion Fishing Rod Of Love]], he turns into this for ''Ryoga''. Even going as far as [[MadLove attacking]] ''[[LoveInterest Akane]]'' out of jealousy.
* Gokudera from ''Manga/Reborn2004''. He [[StalkerWithACrush sticks to Tsuna like no one else does]] and constantly tries to get people killed if they start becoming "overly close" with Tsuna ([[ComedicSociopathy and this is done in a comedic way]]). He becomes unreasonably jealous of anyone who is close to Tsuna, and is even shown watching Tsuna and getting incredibly pissed at Yamamoto for being so friendly with him. Then there's his violent reaction when Chrome kisses Tsuna.
* Saionji towards Anthy in ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** Prince Demando (Diamond) acts this way toward Queen Serenity, and then later her younger self Usagi - to the point of kidnapping Usagi, [[GoGoEnslavement forcing her to wear a pretty gown of his choosing]], and, in the manga and ''Crystal'', giving her a ForcefulKiss.
** In the {{filler}} Makaiju arc, Ali is this to both Usagi and En. It goes in hand with En being a ClingyJealousGirl for Mamoru ''and'' En himself.
** And Fiore for [[HoYay Mamoru]] in the R movie. [[spoiler: To be fair, he was under MoreThanMindControl from the Kisenian flower. But he ''still'' kidnapped Mamoru and tortured Usagi to almost death...]]
** Also Umino acts like this in regards to Naru to a mild extent. Completely PlayedForLaughs.
** And Saffir tends to become this towards his brother Demando whenever Demando is obsessing over Sailor Moon, but he never really crosses the line and is mostly passive-aggressive about it. He ''does'' admit in the anime that he's jealous of Moon, though -- and to Demando's ClingyJealousGirl Esmeraude, even!
** Zoisite has shades of this towards Kunzite. It's especially obvious when Kunzite mentions thinking that Reika, one of Zoisite's chosen victims, is beautiful; Zoisite gets massively pissed for that one, and when he confronts Reika he verbally lashes out at her before turning her into a demon.
* Shiva of ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'', to {{Yandere}} MurderTheHypotenuse levels.
* ''Manga/SakuraGari'':
** Souma Saiki shows these traits towards Masataka, but later mellows out. However, his possessiveness ''does'' go to horribly creepy levels before he lets go, such as raping Masataka and then blackmailing him to have sex with him. It's only after his suicide attempt, which is triggered by Masataka actually snapping on him due to his abuse, that he shows Masataka how much he really cares for him and their relationship stabilizes.
** [[spoiler: Sakurako Saiki, revealed to be a boy named Youya]], is frighteningly possessive of [[spoiler: his half-brother]] Souma. This individual tortures every single servant boy/girl that Souma takes as a lover, and hates Masataka because he is the object of Souma's affections.
** Dr. Katsuragi is revealed to be really crazy for Souma as well, so much so that he rapes and tortures Masataka, ordering him to stay away from Souma, and sticks his hand in boiling hot water. Katsuragi later holds Souma down and tells him that "you belong to me," and attempts to strangle him when Souma starts talking about Masataka [[spoiler: right before [[TheDogBitesBack Souma manages to brilliantly fight him back]].]] It's later revealed that [[spoiler: he tried to help Souma kill his abusive stepmother (Sakurako's mom) when Souma was angry with her for her abuse]]. However, when [[spoiler: Souma ultimately couldn't go through with it, Katsuragi grabbed Souma's hand (that held a knife) and made him slice his stepmother's wrists, and raped him that same night.]]
* Takano Masamune from ''Manga/SekaiichiHatsukoi'' over Onodera, although it tends to be more subtle than most examples of this trope.
** ''Far'' less subtle is [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Yoshiyuki]] [[{{Yandere}} Hatori's]] jealousy over [[ManChild Chiaki]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer Yoshino]]. It got to the point he tried to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown beat the ever-loving crap]] out of [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Yuu]] [[HopelessSuitor Yanase]].
* Sakuya Ookuchi from ''Manga/SensualPhrase'', who was this close to rape his girlfriend Aine when at his worst.
* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': Mika has a obsession with Yuu which includes not wanting anybody else to touch him and taking off Ferid's arm when he touches Yuu. He also nearly makes off with Yuu in a BridalCarry and has convinced himself ([[ProperlyParanoid albeit with good reason]]) that he's justified in taking Yuu back because the humans are using him. He mellows out considerably while showing mild feelings implied to be jealousy as well as protectiveness whenever Yuu initially brings up anything in regards to his new family and later Guren. There's also the times Shinoa (who has a crush on Yuu) holds Yuu in an intimate manner or gets close to Yuu to which Mika looks incensed at and yells at her.
* GirlsLove manga ''Manga/ShiroiHeyaNoFutari'' ends with one of the girls, Simone, being stabbed to death by one of these.
* ''Manga/ShiroNoEden'': Shuuto is very protective of Mashiro and constantly butts heads with Ai.
* Ryota Miyagi from ''Manga/SlamDunk''. One of his first appearances has him weeping river tears, screaming, and punching the lights out of Sakuragi ''because he mistook him for Ayako's boyfriend''. To further illustrate things, Sakuragi was doing nothing more than walking with her and exchanging some small talk.
* ''Manga/SleepyPrincessInTheDemonCastle'': Demon Cleric Leonard eventually becomes this towards the Princess, much to his own chagrin and disgust.
* Gopher of ''Manga/SoulEater'' is Noah's borderline personal {{fanboy}}. He beats Kid to a bloody pulp twice for having Noah's attention and gets extremely pissed off when Maka turns out to have the same uniqueness that made Noah apparently have a fleeting interest in Gopher. This gets ''very'' bad when Noah decides [[TheCollector that he wants to have Maka as well]]. Gopher is featured in all of 3 chapters.
** It doesn't get any better. With his chance of killing Maka gone, Gopher beats up Kid some more until realising that while hitting him doesn't achieve anything, showing him something asymmetrical does. He exploits this until Noah turns up and takes Kid away.
* ''Manga/SteppingOnRoses'': [[spoiler: Nozomu]]. To insane proportions. He even goes so far as to [[spoiler: go around with an axe, [[Film/TheShining "Here's Johnny"]] style, trying to catch Sumi "cheating on him." As if he couldn't get any creepier, finding out that Sumi is his sister only makes him even MORE obsessed with her]].
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has its fair share.
** In the original series, Tsukiyama's obsession with Kaneki results in him becoming violent when he sees Touka taking a bite out of "his" prized meal. CharacterDevelopment eventually leads him to mellow out considerably.
** In the sequel, Kanae is the obsessed [[KissingCousins cousin]] of Tsukiyama and wants to kill Kaneki out of jealousy. This feud ends up more complicated, as [[spoiler: Kanae is actually [[SweetPollyOliver Karren]]]] and [[spoiler: she ends up sacrificing her life to save Tsukiyama, dying content]].
** The SerialKiller Torso, who becomes obsessed with his victims and tries to force them to become his "lovers". His obsession with Mutsuki results in kidnapping, [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou abuse]], and eventually a bloody conclusion.
** And perhaps the worst case of all: [[spoiler: Furuta / Souta, who reveals everything has been about his obsession with his childhood friend, Rize. He couldn't stand the thought of ''anyone'' touching her or having babies with her but him, so he first helped her escape from the Garden and later handed her over to Dr. Kanou after injuring her severely by dropping steel beams on her. He states that he's going to take over the CCG, and then marry Rize and force her to bear him an enormous number of children]].
** Trans male Mutsuki is revealed to [[spoiler: have romantic and psychotic feelings for his mentor, Sasaki/Kaneki and in a fit of madness stabs Uta who had disguised his face as Sasaki's while clinging to him in an affectionate manner and thinking that Sasaki belongs to him and begging him to never leave his side again as he dissociates badly without his LivingEmotionalCrutch. He realizes his feelings out of Sasaki's kindness towards him and his jealousy at seeing Sasaki and Touka together. He pictures the two of them with the word "die" written over Touka's face indicating his possible intentions towards her so he can have Sasaki/Kaneki for himself.]]
* Kish from ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' hates seeing Ichigo with Masaya so much that he's attempted to MurderTheHypotenuse a few times.
* ''Manga/UnderGrandHotel'':
%%** Swordfish towards Sen.
** Norman's in love with Swordfish, but pretends to be in love with Sen so he could get closer to Swordfish. He tries to persuade Swordfish to kill Sen but that doesn't work. So, on one occasion when there's a scuffle going on, he tries to get Sen out of the way by stabbing him with a pencil - but accidentally ends up stabbing his inmate Walter instead, who was trying to protect Sen in the hope of getting protection from Swordfish. When he finds this out, Norman holds a knife to Walter's neck telling him, "If you don't want to die, don't butt in again, Walter!"
** Also, Lain Brody. In the first few scenes we see him in, he gives Sen a blowjob, strips him, drugs him and outright molests him as he's drugged (including telling him "No way in hell am I letting Swordfish kill you. Because he doesn't love you. I'm the only one that can kill you."), rapes him with a mop handle, ties him up, and hides him in a dryer. And when Swordfish finds Sen, he gives him CPR. Lain responds to this by stabbing Fish in the arm with a fork and tries to stab him again while screaming at him, "Get off of Sen! He belongs to me!" Immediately after that, Lain is shot and killed by security guards.
* ''Manga/VampireKnight'': Kaname, to an extent. His main dislike for Zero seem to stem from jealousy alone, and he really wouldn't mind killing him.
** Done even more straight with a recent bonus, where he's threatening ''to kill'' a random day class student who plans on giving Yuuki a love letter. Arguably averted as it's PlayedForLaughs.
** Averted with Zero as his reasons for hating Kaname have more to do with him being a pureblood, and having been used/abused by him rather than being jealous.
** [[spoiler:Rido]] definitely counts.
** Aidou shows traces of this over the affection Kaname has for Yuuki.
* V.B. Rose: Fairly early into the story, we're told that Mitsuya hates being around Sekiguchi because they're somewhat alike. Much later, the truth comes out: Sekiguchi gave Mitsuya's love interest Tsuya a friendly kiss on the hand during their first meeting. Mitsuya's hated him ever since.
* Invoked by Kaoru in ''Manga/VirginLove''. The reason he shuns romantic relationships is his fear of becoming like his man-crazy mother. His prediction does come true, but Daigo is willing to accept the madly jealous side of him and convinces him to give their relationship a chance.
* ''Manga/WeWereThere'': Yano has a hard time trusting Nanami completely, displaying jealousy and possessiveness, even to the point of physically abusing her.
* Kyoya from ''Manga/WolfGirlAndBlackPrince''. Even though he's only acting as her [[TheBeard boyfriend]], he doesn't take Erika talking to or being with other guys very well. At one point, he breaks her phone in half when she gets another guy's number and demands that she never talk to him again. A few episodes later, he gets a little upset when he discovers that she gave another guy chocolate that she made for the [[RealMenHateSugar sugar-hating]] Kyoya. It's more or less supposed to indicate that he sees the relationship as more than just a ruse and the thought of her being unfaithful is a huge BerserkButton for him.
* Haguro Dou from ''Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest''. If you think a logical reaction to someone talking to your special someone (in his case an anti-social werewolf) is to beat that someone within an inch of their life, bite out their tongue, and ''sodomize them'', you probably qualify for the crazy part pretty well. And his "reaction" to [[spoiler: learning that said antisocial werewolf LikesOlderWomen and has a crush on their HotTeacher]] was [[spoiler: kidnapping said teacher, having her repeatedly and brutally gang-raped (and drugged to make her enjoy it), and filming it so he'd be able to release the footage to the internet and destroy her reputation]]. This guy rivals Yuno herself in the {{Yandere}} department, and is considerably more monstrous.
* Furuichi from ''Anime/XamdLostMemories'', who held a strong love for Haru and a strong jealousy towards Akiyuki. [[spoiler:Things didn't work out well for him.]]
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'': Yurio is implied to be this to Yuri either in a platonic or romantic sense as he gets quite incensed whenever Victor and Yuri act affectionate towards each other. Also, in another mild case, Victor makes it absolutely clear to others with his mannerisms and behavior around Yuri that Yuri is with him and tries to keep him together with him. He's kindhearted about it though.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''Creator/ArchieComics'':
** Moose of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' is notorious for beating guys to a pulp, or threatening to do so, for as much as asking his girlfriend Midge for the time. Of these guys, only Reggie has ever actually made a move on her. Always PlayedForLaughs. One 1970s story exaggerates this by having Moose angrily ask Midge why Big Ethel was talking to her. When Midge points out that Ethel's a girl, Moose says, "Duh, well [[{{Gonk}} she don't look like]] no girl I ever saw."
** In ''ComicBook/AfterlifeWithArchie'' Jason is this towards Cheryl. Yes, his [[{{Twincest}} twin sister]], and it's not in a BigBrotherInstinct way. He gets mad whenever Cheryl mentions Archie and [[spoiler:killed Cheryl's puppy]] when they were younger because on Thanksgiving Cheryl [[spoiler:only said she was thankful for her puppy]].
* [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] is this over Sue Storm from ''ComicBook/TheFantasticFour'', he has repeatedly kidnapped Sue trying to make her his bride and also tried to kill Reed out of jealousy. Even well after Sue is HappilyMarried with kids, Namor still gives Sue the LongingLook as her son Franklin notes, though thankfully he’s stopped his kidnapping antics.
* Characters/DoctorDoom has got some strong feelings towards Sue as well, it’s mainly due to his inferiority complex towards Reed that he must have everything his nemesis has including his wife. Doom has numerous times attempted to take Sue away as his own and they’re even married in one AlternateUniverse, even when not trying to court Sue to spite Reed, Doom still lauded her as most powerful of the four.
** Not the first time Doom has been subject to this behavior, he was petty keen on ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} ([[WeCanRuleTogether to the point where he wanted her to be his queen]]) was furious when she and the X-Men defied him.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}:
** ComicBook/TheJoker can easily become this at times especially towards his beloved ArchEnemy Batman. He’s jealous of ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} for [[DatingCatwoman her relationship with Batman]], he tortures ComicBook/LexLuthor for mocking his obsession with the dark knight and in ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'' Joker reveals himself to be jealous of the entire Bat-Family for “distracting” his nemesis and plans to take them out of the equation.
*** Joker can also be jealous of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn’s other affections since he sees her as his possession. This was evident when he discovered her relationship with ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} and sought to punish Harley dearly for betraying him.
** ComicBook/TwoFace towards Renee Montoya, even learning after she is a lesbian it fuels his desire to ruin her life so all that’s left is him.
** ComicBook/{{Bane}} [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/a4ccfa3b-093d-4e67-8163-0ee55b155010 invokes]] this towards Talia, as he was almost married to her when Ra’s considered him worthy take over as leader of the League of Shadows. So Bane was stricken to learn Talia loved Bruce (his nemesis) and to add further salt on the wound Batman defeating him caused his marriage to be annulled. Just another reason to break the Bat.
* In ''ComicBook/IronMan'' 47# one of Tony’s armours [[AIIsACrapShoot becomes sentient]] and becomes possessively in love with him like an abusive boyfriend. It cuts off Tony from The Avengers, causes his then girlfriend Rumiko to break up with him, breaks his arm when he gets into another suit to try and escape and takes him to a deserted island trying convince him they’re perfect for each other and demanding why Tony can’t feel for it “like he did with Ms Rumiko”. It ultimately does sacrifice itself to save Tony’s life however.
* Prince Brandish from ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' he’s absolutely determined to marry Snow and fact she’s married with children means nothing to him. Brandish turned Snow’s husband Bigby into glass and shattered him, then made it clear he would murder all of Snow’s children so she could be “pure” again. Thankfully Snow wrecked him in a sword duel shortly after.
* Subverted in the ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' story "Moonshade". Moonshade and Strongbow are lifemates, by the fandom sometimes labelled "the only remotely monogamous couple". In this story, Ahnshen falls in love with Moonshade. Strongbow gets pretty ticked off, to the point of tackling Ahnshen and taking him to task -- for beating around the bush rather than getting to the point already.
* ComicBook/TheFlash villain Hunter Zoom aka Reverse Flash is this for Iris West (Barry West’s wife), whom he continuously stalked and harassed for years. He also tried to forcibly marry her by switching places with Barry and eventually killed her saying that if he couldn’t have her, then Barry couldn’t either. However, [[ComicBookDeath being comics]], Iris was brought back later.
* Miles Warren aka the Jackal from Franchise/SpiderMan’s RoguesGallery over Gwen Stacy. He became infatuated with her during his time as her teacher and blamed Gwen’s death at hands of the Green Goblin on Spider-Man himself. So he created a clone of Gwen to torment Peter and of course when one of the clones still loved Peter over him, Jackal was further determined to make Spidey’s life hell. The idea that Gwen would never love him or the idea that Peter '''isn’t''' responsible for her death never crossed his mind.
* JerkJock Flash Thompson would get very jealous of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Puny Parker]]’s luck with girls such as Liz, Gwen, and MJ. Flash even had a CockFight with Peter over Liz, causing her to lambaste both of them. Flash mellowed out greatly in later years and supported all Peter’s relationships.
* ComicBook/{{Thanos}} is, of course, a Crazy Jealous Guy over Lady [[TheGrimReaper Death]], he’ll happily to wipe away half the universe and bring down the cosmic deities all out of insane love for her. Even when Death wants nothing to do with him and actively works against him, Thanos just becomes more determined to win her love. Then ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} enters the picture and succeeded in winning her affection, in a fit of jealous rage Thanos cursed Wade to never die so he could keep him away from his beloved.
* ComicBook/SteveTrevor in the ComicBook/New52, he tends to keep his love for Diana bottled up after her gentle rejection, but when he possessed by Pandora’s Box he is determined that [[MurderTheHypotenuse Superman dies]].
* Poor Janet Van Dyne aka ComicBook/TheWasp has [[SoBeautifulItsACurse gotten several]] of these over the years:
** The first is David "Whirlwind" Cannon. Working as Janet’s chauffeur he made his move on her when [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank]] was seemly dead but to his fury she rejected him. He made several attempts to kill Hank and in a later comic he even [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty molested Jan]] while she was unconscious before being stopped by a ten foot tall and seriously pissed off Henry Pym.
** Similarly Erik Josten from ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' due to his own obsession with Jan, made it look like Hank had disappeared in an attempt to get close to Janet. He failed to woo her and became enraged at Hank’s timely return and desperately tried to kill him so he could have her for himself.
** In more recent comics Hank being a FallenHero unfortunately has become this to Janet himself due to fusing his body and consciousness with ComicBook/{{Ultron}} (who incidentally is also obsessed with his “mother”). Ultron-Hank spells it out upon reuniting with his ex-wife saying he knows all about her new relationship with Tony and considers it a “wrinkle” in his schemes. Ironically he’s still not as bad as Ultimate Hank when it comes to Janet (see below).
* The insane Aquaman from ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' becomes obsessed over his not dead AlternateUniverse wife Mera in ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}''. Yes... ''[[MindScrew he is jealous of himself]]''.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} invokes this more than a few times always when regarding his beloved Jean Grey, he gets jealous of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} getting cozy with Jean, he gets jealous of Mastermind having a thing for Jean, he gets jealous of Jean gushing over ComicBook/{{Gambit}} (even jokingly threatening to drop a truck on him) and Scott even gets jealous of freaking Franchise/SpiderMan for getting two [[SmoochOfVictory smooches from Jean]]. In the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse BadFuture, Scott has even taken off Wolverine’s hand in a fight over Jean.
** Wolverine himself is prone to jealousy over Jean or Mariko, it dates back to his DarkAndTroubledPast where Logan got jealous of his beloved caretaker Rose planning to marry another man. ComicBook/UltimateMarvel takes this a step further with Wolverine as he [[MurderTheHypotenuse attempts to murder Scott so he can have Jean for himself]].
** Similarly ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and Gambit dip into this over ComicBook/{{Rogue}} as they once had a CockFight when Gambit discovered Mags as his younger self Joseph looking into Rogue’s window, Rogue unimpressed put a stop to it immediately. Still, Joseph cannot help but give Gambit and Rogue the GreenEyedMonster from time to time. Nowadays Magneto is surprisingly fine with Rogue marrying Gambit and supports their union [[note]] This because of a {{Retcon}} where Joseph was actually Magneto’s clone and not a rejuvenated version of Mags himself as was previously believed [[/note]]. Gambit can still get pretty jealous though as when Rogue lightly teased him about kissing Deadpool during their couple therapy, which led to Gambit blowing the shit of Wade when he met him again.
*** Curiously Deadpool admitted he was just as jealous of Gambit getting hitched to Rogue and did his best come in between them in ''ComicBook/MrAndMrsX''.
** ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} can be a very jealous man, though suspiciously Pietro only gets jealous [[{{Twincest}} of his twin sister]]’s ComicBook/ScarletWitch’s love interests e.g [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YyaMxRkf-pk/VaJlKCRw1iI/AAAAAAAApqU/jZRfvBmSrQE/s1600/av127_2b.jpg Vision]].
* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1972 Supergirl Vol 1]]'' #2, a friend of Linda Danvers - the titular heroine - made several passes at her even though she was not really interested. Still, he was jealous every time Linda spent time with another guy and behaved as if she was cheating on him despite the fact that they were ''not'' together.
** Powerboy, Kara’s obsessed stalker and ex-boyfriend from ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Supergirl Identity]]'' is a particularly vicious example. He becomes violently possessive of Kara not long into their relationship, with the breaking point being when he gets jealous of Kara’s friendship with Owen Mercer aka Captain Boomerang Jr., beating her up and imprisoning Kara just for visiting Owen in hospital. Thankfully she breaks free and gets revenge with a glorious GroinAttack.
** H’el dips into this with Supergirl as well. He becomes increasingly obsessed with Kara, calling her his “beloved,” and becomes violent in his attempts to separate her from allies, such as her cousin Clark, whom (out of jealousy) he deems “unworthy” of her. H’el claims during his VillainousBreakdown that all his crimes are done out of purely love for her and Krypton, but Kara has none of it and stabs him in the chest with a shard of Kryptonite.
* In Franchise/{{Superman}} story ''ComicBook/SupermanBrainiac'', Steve Lombard hits on Comicbook/LoisLane (even though she has just told him she is married) and Clark Kent surreptitiously burns his chair's leg, making him fall. Lois tries very hard not to laugh out loud.
* Huitzilopochtli, in the ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' story "The Betrothed of the Sun-God," fries anyone who sets a lecherous eye on Vampirella. [[spoiler:However, when Vampi decides not to go with him, he's stand-up enough to let her go.]]
* ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'s owner Jon frequently ran afoul of guys like this in his failed attempt to hit on girls until he finally hooked up with Liz. In fact, even Liz hinted she once had a boyfriend like this before they started dating.
* In ''ComicBook/AstroCity,'' the former hero [[spoiler:El Hombre]] is willing to frame his ex-girlfriend as being a mass murderer simply because he's never forgiven her for marrying someone else.
* ''ComicBook/{{Raptors}}'': Ronaldo, the ex of Aznar's girlfriend in college, to the point he attempts to kill him by knocking him unconscious into the pool and leaving him to drown, and later breaks into her room in an attempt to rape her, though he is stopped just in time by Aznar.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'':
** Hank and Jan's fight starts when Jan is wearing a new dress and asks Pym if she looks nice. He asks, all grumpy, if it's for Rogers' or Stark's benefit, before pointing out Jan kissed Steve just after they beat the Hulk, and that she obviously isn't wearing heels and a push-up bra for Hank's benefit since he's not going to any party. Things go ''really'' downhill quickly from there.
** When Banner calls Betty, having just injected himself with the serum that brings out the not-so-jolly grey giant, she's having lunch with Freddie Prinze Jr. And when he turns into Hulk, he still remembers that. Let's just say that "crazy" is an understatement.
-->'''Hulk:''' HULK WANTS FREDDIE PRINZE JR.!
** Weaponized by Cap at the end of vol. 1, when he tells Hulk the naked guy (naked ''alien'', actually) is after Betty... all hell breaks loose.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': After getting together Asuka is very, very possessive from Shinji. You would think that he is or seems to be less possessive… and you would be wrong. This is palpable when some guys try to worm their way next to Asuka and he scares them away with a silent glare.
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Although he has not got many chances to show it InUniverse, WordOfGod has confirmed that Shinji is very possessive and jealous, and if someone tried to hit on his girlfriend, he would not put up with it silently.
-->''That.... would not likely end well. Shinji doesn't show it as much, but he's as strongly possessive of Asuka as she is of him. Rei gets a pass due to being so close to both of them, but a stranger, an outsider, trying to make moves on his Asuka? Oh, that would not be good.''
* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': Shinji. He was actually jealous when Asuka found the arcade game centre’s manager cute and nice. When he did a special favour for them to Asuka's delight, Shinji instantly got angry, moody and snappy.
* ''Manga/Evangelion303'': Saburo. When [[EmotionlessGirl Rei Ayanami]] fell into a coma after a plane crash and his boyfriend Kaworu [[UnbrokenVigil started to spend time watching over her]], Saburo got jealous of the attention that Kaworu gave Rei-despite of Rei being ''comatose'' and ''female''-, and broke up with him. He regretted it, but for that time Kaworu had moved, and Saburo got increasingly jealous of the close relationship between Kaworu and Rei, lashing out at Rei, berating Kaworu for spending time with her, and resorting to hare-brained stunts to attract his ex-boyfriend's attention.
* ''Fanfic/ScarTissue'': At the beginning of a chapter, Shinji suffers a nightmare where he sees Asuka kissing another boy. He gets utterly distraught and feeling the impulse of killing both of them. At the same time, it severely disturbs him feeling so jealous and possessive.
* Moto in ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'', who is jealous of Simba and Nala's close friendship. He makes a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with Hago]] in order to appear irresistible to Nala. It works incredibly well, resulting in Nala breaking off her friendship with Simba so she can be with Moto. [[spoiler: He later realizes the error of his ways, however, and everything is restored to normal.]]
* ''Manga/DeathNote'':
** Light in the SlashFic ''Fanfic/OfficePolitics'' to [[HilarityEnsues hilarious]] effect. When L breaks up with Light, he finds that the [[AGodAmI God of the New World]] does not take rejection well.
** Light again in the SlashFic ''Fanfic/ACureForLove''. When Mello drops by late one night for a clandestine meeting with L, Light immediately becomes suspicious that L is cheating on him.
** L in the SlashFic ''Fanfic/LowLight'' where [[FaceHeelTurn L is corrupted by the]] [[ArtifactOfDoom notebook]] and becomes a FetishizedAbuser to Light. He is very possessive of Light and becomes jealous when Light is spending so much time with Matsuda.
** Light again in ''Fanfic/FeverDreams'' after Light saves L from his plan and gives up on being Kira, L dumps him because he fears their relationship is corrupting the investigation:
--->'''Light:''' I know I can win him back if he'll just visit me in person once.\\
'''Rem:''' [[LampshadeHanging You sound like]] [[{{Yandere}} Misa]].
%%** In ''Fanfic/{{Ragnarok}}'', Mikami and L to Light.
** Light for L in ''Fanfic/ThePrinceOfDeath'': Light becomes insanely jealous when L is paying more attention to Naomi Misora than to him, so in order to regain L's attention, he provokes a [[CatFight (cat)fight]] with Naomi by [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers informing the room full of cops that he's the original Kira (knowing there is nothing they can do about it because he's become a literal God of Death).]]
** In ''[[Fanfic/MonsterADeathNoteAU Monster]]'' after [[{{Yandere}} Light]] "recovers" L, he [[CarvedMark carves the letter L into his hip]]. L understands that Light isn't writing "L" as in his name, but L as in "property of Light." Also [[spoiler: when Misa kills L in a jealous rage, [[AntagonistInMourning Light brings him]] BackFromTheDead with the death eraser because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Light did not give him permission to die.]]]]
** In ''Fanfic/AllYouNeedIsLove'' Light is this for Naomi Misora and L is this for Light in part of a [[PsychoticLoveTriangle Psychotic]] LoveDodecahedron.
* One of the most common portrayals in the ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''' [[JustForFun/HappyTreeFriendsTheAnime fanon anime version]] depicts Flippy - who is an AxCrazy, psychotic murderer in {{Canon}}- as an {{Yandere}} for [[FanPreferredCouple Flaky]]. The canon episode ''Without A Hitch'' plays with it a bit, because Flippy constantly follows Flaky around, trying to be nice to her, while she is so terrified of him, that she tries to get rid of him at all costs.
* Duke Devlin in ''Fanfic/DecksFallEveryoneDies'', just like the Duke in [[Film/MoulinRouge the source material for the plot]].
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Peter and Edmund Pevensie]] from ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' are most of the time portrayed like this, [[ShipMates Peter usually over Susan and Edmund almost always over Lucy]].
* In ''Fanfic/AceOfSpades'', a SlashFic [[CrackPairing which]] [[CrossoverShip pairs]] [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Joker]] and Literature/HarryPotter, the Joker becomes jealous of the time Harry spends with Bruce Wayne and of the attention Harry gives to stalking Jim Gordon, and [[FetishizedAbuser feels the need to "teach Harry a lesson"]].
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
** In an apparently lost fic, Denmark was a total Crazy Jealous Guy over Norway. To the point that he had sex with him ''in front of Norway's brother Iceland'' [[{{Cuckold}} to "teach" Iceland that Norway was his boyfriend.]]
** It's actually very common in Hetalia fic, and it's not limited to Denmark. For example, the already unstable Russia is ''very'' frequently tuned into this over either America or Lithuania, to the point of abusing and/or raping them.
** England also becomes this very often: the infamous fic ''The Chosen End'' twisted England into a Crazy Jealous Guy [[DieForOurShip to make him "less worthy" of America's affections]], while compared to a [[DracoInLeatherPants leather-pantsed]] Russia. (And this doesn't count a RevengeFic by the same author, in which England is a crazy {{Yandere}} who abuses a [[{{Ukefication}} spineless]] America.)
** ''America'' himself isn't free of this either, even in arts/fics/etc. that make ''him'' the chosen love interest. Depending on the fanwork, he can go from silently and passive-aggressively watching (insert: England, Russia, etc.) interact with other nations while stewing in his own jealousy, to pretty much tackling the nation he loves and dubcon/noncon ravishing him/her after seeing him with others.
** In regards to [[GenderFlip the Nyotalia boys]], male!Belarus is made into this over female!Russia since the original Belarus is already a ClingyJealousGirl to the original Russia. His behavior tends to be different, though: while Belarus tends to be openly clingy and obsessive over her brother in canon, male!Belarus is portrayed as being [[MySisterIsOffLimits overprotective]] and ''insanely'' passive-aggressive over his sister.
** Germany and Japan over Italy in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]''. They even ended up in a [[CockFight heated fight over him]]. If Italy hadn't intervened, it would have become a case of MurderTheHypotenuse.
* Angel, in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Magnetism}}'', is a non-romantic version of this. He doesn't like how Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are physically close all the time and does everything he can to get rid of Dash, culminating in him catapulting her into the Everfree Forest, which then causes the bracelets to activate, meaning Fluttershy unwittingly joins her. After this incident, though he still hates Rainbow Dash, he tones it down somewhat.
* Kakashi is like this to Naruto in ''Fanfic/FirstTrySeries: Team 7,'' which clearly weirds out Naruto as he mixes it with a {{Yandere}}'s obsessiveness since he feels ''entitled'' to train Naruto and be his ParentalSubstitute. Jiraiya calls Kakashi out on this, saying he can't force Naruto to see him as one and he frankly needs to chill out.
* Teenage Tom Riddle [[TimeTravel from 1942]] in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5725656/1/Fate-s-Favourite Fate's Favourite]]'' is incredibly possessive and obsessive of Harry. [[ForTheEvulz At first it's just because Harry is interesting]], and later because he counts Harry as the [[OnlyFriend first real friend he's ever had]] (on account of Tom being [[TheSociopath a clinical psychopath]] who generally just uses people and doesn't feel anything for anyone but himself, but he feels something for Harry). This is {{lampshaded}} by other characters, who take to referring to Tom as Harry's [[GayBravado "jealous boyfriend."]] Tom mentions in passing that he's more than willing to watch the whole world burn if it means he can spend more time with Harry, and [[MurderTheHypotenuse he will eliminate]] [[{{Yandere}} any perceived threats that may come between them.]]
* In ''Fanfic/CodeHalfDemon'' Inuyasha gets jealous of [[KidAnova Odd]] flirting with Kagome.
** Odd gets slightly jealous of Inuyasha having powers in real life, but gets over it as nothing happened.
* Cortland, in ''Fanfic/TheRockFarmersDaughters,'' is possessive of Pinkamena, has a NeverMyFault attitude when she outright rejects his unwanted advances, blames her father Igneous Rock and the hired hoof Cheese Sandwich for influencing her to reject him, and [[spoiler:plots to have Cheese fired and driven out of town, and later kidnaps Igneous. It culminates when he tries to kill Igneous, Cheese, and Pinkamena by setting fire to a house with them inside]].
* In ''Fanfic/TheVow'', as [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2 Lord Shen's]] love for [[DefrostingIceQueen Lady Lianne]] grows, so does his possessiveness over her. When he hears that she's engaged to [[UpperClassTwit Lord Juan]] thirty years since his exile, he immediately returns to take over Gongmen City and [[MurderTheHypotenuse murders Juan]], planning to [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe complete his marriage]] to Lianne.
* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' plays with this. Shinji is possessive, but when Hikari convinces Asuka to go on a blind date, he isn't jealous because he knows that Asuka doesn't like that student. He gets annoyed when Asuka has to pretend that she still has a crush on Kaji, though.
* Tom acts like this towards Ginny in ''Fanfic/TheVerySecretDiary'' if she goes too long without talking to him. His intentions aren't romantic, but the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything subtext]] is very much intentional.
* ''Fanfic/{{crawlersout}}'': Tom Riddle hates the idea of Fem!Harry ever marrying and being forced to share her with another man. Of course, he doesn't realize the ''romantic'' implications of his thoughts, being a child and all. It's heavily implied that his future alternate counterpart Lord Voldemort was the same way with Harry, and she was just deliberately and selectively oblivious to the romantic/sexual aspect of his obsession. It also partially explains why he and Gellert Grindelwald have HateAtFirstSight -- Tom can instantly tell that Grindelwald isn't like her other suitors (being every bit as obsessed with Harry as Tom is), while Grindelwald knows that Tom will always be the most important person in Harry's life.
* If you're unlucky ComicBook/JeanGrey's date in ''Fanfic/XMenTheEarlyYears'', Hank, Warren, and Scott will drive you out. Or crazy. Or both. Usually both.
-->"Hey guys, come quick! Jean's getting home with her date." Hank motioned from his location at the telescope. "Second week in a row." He trailed off a moment, staring through the eyepiece. "So that's Josh. They must be getting along fairly well if they're going out for a second weekend."\\
Warren got to the telescope first. "So that's Dorkboy. I think he's really gotta go."\\
Hank took the telescope back from Warren. "Let’s see, letterman, three sports, band pin, I think -- I can't really be sure about that one. Fairly tall, dark hair, and well built. I agree with Warren's assessment. Dorkboy's gotta go, my fine fellows."
* In ''Fanfic/TheFlowerPrincessAndTheAlchemist'': Edward is this in regards to his LoveInterest Orihime. To the point of where [[DudeMagnet guys]] even ''looking'' at her the wrong way, or what he ''perceives'' to be the wrong way, causes [[BerserkButton his temper to flare]]. He even bought and destroyed all the magazines [[MsFanservice Orihime modeled]] in just because other men might see pictures of her. He tries to justify his jealous rage by saying he doesn't want her to end up with a guy who doesn't treat her right, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt but nobody buys it]]. The only person who remains unaware is [[ObliviousToLove Orihime herself]].
** Later on, Edward finally admits how much of a Crazy Jealous Guy he is towards [[LoveInterest Orihime]] in a speech that's a mix of ShutUpHannibal and GreenEyedEpiphany.
* In ''Fanfic/AbyssCronicaCaptive'' Eustass Kid is a crazy jealous guy toward his prisoner/girlfriend. To date, he brutally murdered a crewmate that tried to rape her, broke the legs of her HopelessSuitor, and blinded a guy with Xray vision PowerPerversionPotential after said guy peeped on her, nearly started a deathmatch with X Drake for asking her into his crew.
* Add is this combined with StalkerWithACrush towards Eve in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10260009/11/Sibling-Love Sibling Love]]''. He was willing to beat VideoGame/{{Elsword}} senseless for the crime of [[MurderTheHypotenuse stealing Eve's affections]].
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2015087/10/Keitaro-The-Savant Keitaro The Savant]]'', [[Manga/LoveHina Keitaro]] manages to impress a woman with a sandcastle he had built, which unfortunately earns him the ire of her boyfriend.
* ''Fanfic/FateBlackDawn'': While Shirou is normally an infamous NiceGuy, Morgan le Faye is amused to discover that he's also the jealous type. She enjoys watching him [[PassiveAggressiveKombat politely destroy]] men who flirt with her.

He would most certainly kill Audric if not for the fact that doing so would irreparably turn Rielle's wrath against him. Instead, he limits himself to manipulating Rielle into beliving Audric would hate her if he ever found out the destructive potential her powers hold and Rielle's desires to test them.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'': When Hermione goes to the Yule Ball with Krum, a generally respectful and decent Quidditch star who Ron had been a fanboy of, he tells her she's "fraternizing with the enemy." This leads to them fighting for several weeks.
** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'': When Hermione goes to the Slug Club party with Cormac [=McLaggen=] in book 6 (and after Ginny accuses him of being insecure about never having kissed a girl), he starts a relationship with Lavender Brown which quickly devolves into its own OperationJealousy via SickeninglySweethearts as Ron starts to realize he doesn't really have romantic feeling towards her, leaving Lavender insecure and [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy]] as Ron starts to slip away from her. This wasn't helped by the fact that Hermione's "relationship" with [=McLaggen=] was ''also'' an OperationJealousy; neither of them are good at sorting out their feelings.
** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'': At Bill's wedding, Krum says Ginny is pretty. Harry, posing as a Weasley cousin, snaps that she has a boyfriend he wouldn't want to cross. Note that Harry broke up with Ginny in the previous book [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies to keep her safe]].

He needn't have worried since Ward manages to be there whenever he's really needed, although he does make Oreg a priority when others are there to take care of his siblings.
** High King Jakoven is a less sympathetic example. If his male lover displays any fondness for ''anyone'', Jakoven murders that person. He also murders his wife's lovers, but that seems to be more politically motivated. Though he might be jealous of them, too, even though he seems to be [[DepravedHomosexual gay]] and encourages men to start affairs with his wife.
* ''Literature/SweetValleyHigh'' Elizabeth's boyfriend Todd reacts very badly to anyone he perceives as a rival for her affections, so much so that the fan site 1bruce1 nicknamed him "Todd Punch Wilkens." Enid's boyfriend Ronnie Edwards was also like this.

* Erik the titular ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' is an OlderThanRadio example over the heroine Christine. Erik is obsessed with her (pretending to be her "Angel of Music") and gets dreadfully jealous of her [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood sweetheart]] Raoul, even stopping giving Christine signing lessons until she reassures him she and Raoul are JustFriends and he stalks the pair feverishly getting more and more enraged. The ending dials it up as Erik gives [[ScarpiaUltimatum an ultimatum]]: either Christine chooses him over Raoul or he'll blow up half of Paris with gunpowder. Thankfully both outcomes are avoided and Erik [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy lets Christine go free]] after she shows him all the affection the world can offer him.
** It's never touched upon in the adaptations but Raoul himself spends half the book being a Crazy Jealous Guy over Christine having been separated from her at youth. Raoul follows Christine around, listens at her door, goes inside her room, and has a BerserkButton over Christine's mysterious suitor. At one point Raoul's inner mantra is literally "I am jealous! I am jealous! I am jealous! I am jealous!". Raoul even shoots Erik at one point but only grazes him, though Raoul is actually thankful for this understanding that Christine is capable of never forgiving him. Raoul does calm down eventually... unlike Erik.
*** Kudos [[SoBeautifulItsACurse to poor Christine]] for having to [[CockFight deal]] with both of them.
* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, Catelyn Stark's UnluckyChildhoodFriend, who reaches disturbingly {{Yandere}} levels of jealousy [[spoiler:(i.e: kicking off a continent-wide civil war just because he couldn't have her for himself).]] Later in the series, he seems to be desperately trying to make his ReplacementGoldfish, Catelyn's daughter Sansa Stark, solely dependent on him, and view him as the only man worthy of her.
* Both Gilbert Markham and Arthur Huntingdon in ''Literature/TheTenantOfWildfellHall'' -- the former takes his rage out on his [[RelativeError perceived rival]], the latter on his wife.
%%* Heathcliff of ''Literature/WutheringHeights''.
* ''Literature/DomCasmurro'': The main character, a lawyer named Bentinho, seems to be truly crazy and obsessed with the thought of his wife cheating him with his best friend. However, [[UnreliableNarrator since he's also the narrator]], it's not clear if it was true or just pure madness.
* In ''Literature/TheAlienSeries'', this is Kitty's type, although she's not sure if she's attracted to them or they're attracted to her.
** Martini gets upset when Kitty spends time alone with other men and tries to make her change her ringtone, "My Best Friend," for her male best friend.
** Kitty's ex-boyfriend Brian was so clingy and demanding that she dumped him for it. Ten years later, he's still not over her.
* "Hollyoaks" has Brendan Brendan for his on-again, off-again boyfriend Ste Hay.
* There was a ''Literature/FearStreet'' miniseries based around a girl with an insanely jealous boyfriend who murdered several people for getting too close to her, including guys he spotted on dates with his girlfriend's roommates who had borrowed her clothes. It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: the girl has [[SplitPersonality multiple personalities]], and her "boyfriend" as well as her roommates are all her own alter egos]].
* ''Literature/ShadowOfTheTemplar'': Simon, in [[AllThereInTheManual Chapter 10.5]] of ''Double Down'', takes out his jealousy of Jeremy's ex-boyfriend on Jeremy.
* In ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'' The Man in Black aka the Dread Pirate Roberts [[spoiler: who’s actually Westley, the titular princess bride Buttercup's OneTrueLove]] has this attitude towards Buttercup getting married to Prince Humperdink. After saving her from Inigo, Fezzik and Vizzini he expresses his anger calling Buttercup heartless and even slapping her when she slows down their escape. [[spoiler: Westley is in truth actually was [[SecretTestOfCharacter testing]] if Buttercup still loved him as she did not wait for him like they promised [[labelnote:*]] to be fair she thought he was dead when she got engaged with Humperdink and had [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe no real choice]] in the matter anyway[[/labelnote]] and when Westley does reveal himself, after Buttercup pushes him into a ravine Buttercup confirms she’s never stopped loving him, i.e [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes what she’s done]] and jumps into the ravine after Westley. The [[Film/ThePrincessBride film adaptation]] understandably tones down Westley’s Crazy Jealous Guy behavior]].
** Played with in regards to Prince Humperdink. While he naturally finds [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Buttercup]] [[HeadTurningBeauty attractive]], much like Gaston he still loves himself far more than her [[spoiler: and Humperdink also plans to [[KillTheCutie kill]] Buttercup on their wedding night and make it look like an assassin of the enemy nation Guilder did it]]. However Humperdink does fall into this when Buttercup refuses to stop gushing about Westley and admit he (Humperdink) is the better man and when Buttercup unwisely [[TheReasonYouSuck calls him a pathetic coward]] who could never destroy her and Westley’s love, Humperdink files into an UnstoppableRage tossing Buttercup into her room by her hair and subjects Westley to the worst pain imaginable [[spoiler: which temporarily kills him]].
-->She loves you, the Prince cried. She loves you still and you love her, so think of that—think of this too: in all this world, you might have been happy, genuinely happy. Not one couple in a century has that chance, not really, no matter what the storybooks say, but you could have had it, and so, I would think, no one will ever suffer a loss as great as you.
* ''Literature/{{We}}'' takes place in a FreeLoveFuture where [[Literature/BraveNewWorld everyone belongs to everyone else]] (as long as they have a pink sex ticket for that day). Thus, the protagonist is deeply ashamed and disturbed at how angry the thought of a woman he's met sleeping with other men makes him -- how unnatural and illogical of him!
* In Creator/PoulAnderson's "Holmgang", Johnny is shot to death by a man in a bar over a girl. [[spoiler: Later turns out to be a ploy to eliminate him, and so open up a slot on the ship for the killer, who needs to return to Earth.]]
%% * ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'':
%% ** Jace does have a tendency to lapse into this, especially when it concerns Clary and another guy.
%% ** His parabatai Alec also has quite the problem with jealousy. Especially in regards to [[spoiler: Magnus.]]
* Like his animated counterpart, Frollo from ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' is obsessed with Esmeralda and would kill her if she rejected him. There are a few differences, though: he's a holy man, has done good deeds such as raising his younger brother after their parents' deaths and taking in Quasimodo when no one else would, and doesn't kill anyone (despite his attempts). However, he's still eager to throw her to the wolves if his feelings aren't returned.
* ''Literature/OksaPollock'': Gus is jealous because of the friendship between Oksa and Tugdual.
* Christian Grey from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. He has Ana's workplace under his control, he traces her with her cell phone (a present from him, by the way), and freaks out if she doesn't reply to his texts or emails within a certain time frame. Even in ''Fifty Shades Darker'', he buys all of the pictures of her just because he doesn't want another guy looking at her. In ''Fifty Shades Freed'', he even manages to become jealous of his unborn child and, after {{drowning his sorrows}} with Elena, he admits that he fears that Ana will choose the baby over him.
* ''Literature/HeartOfSteel'' gives us Jim Thompson, who completely flips his shit after getting torn in half and restored as a clunky cyborg and decides to hunt down not only his girlfriend Julia but also Alistair, who only repaired him in the first place because he was in love with Julia. We learn later that he was actually responsible for Julia being attacked when Jim started to suspect she was planning to break up with him.
* ''Literature/WarriorCats'' has Ashfur, who was willing to murder four cats (one of whom was ''his own apprentice'') to hurt Squirrelflight--who had rejected him the year before.
* ''Literature/BrokenLoveSeries'' Keiran Masters becomes absolutely furious if anyone as much as looks at his girlfriend Lake Monroe. He gets her to quit her job after he comes in while a customer is trying to ask her out, and is insanely jealous of her hanging out with a male friend who [[spoiler: is gay.]]
* [[TheStoic Outwardly it's hard to tell]], but Lan Wangji from ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'' is one of these; he glowers when a shopkeeper puts an arm around Wei Wuxian and holds a grudge against Wen Ning, the closest person to Wei Wuxian other than himself.
* ''Literature/TheDarkDescentOfElizabethFrankenstein'': Hoo boy, ''Victor''. As a child, he didn’t want to be separated from Elizabeth even for school, and he didn’t react well to Henry kissing her. As an adult, [[spoiler: he’s much worse, orchestrating Justine’s death not only for his experiments but because he was jealous of Elizabeth's love for her.]]
* ''Literature/{{Wulfrik}}'': Baron Udo Kruger is so obsessed with his wife's virtue that he keeps a wizard on the payroll just to keep tabs on her, despite it being glaringly obvious to everyone else (the wizard included), that this exists only in his head and that no sane man would ever want to sleep with her. Wulfrik uses it to his advantage by claiming he's there to see "your wife and my children", which so enrages the baron that he charges out of the city walls, where he is quickly dispatched and the gates of Wisborg left wide open.
* ''Literature/TheMarvellousLandOfSnergs'': Lady Gwendolyne's paramour would like nothing better than to find Sir Percival and beating him into the ground for courting his lover, even though -as his squire points out- Gwendolyne already found an effective, non-violent way to dissuade Percival.
* In the short story "CU: Mannix" by Creator/RichardMatheson, the vain and egotistical protagonist finds himself in a [[HoistByHisOwnPetard quandary of his own making]] when a joke he initiated goes entirely too far and leads him to believe that his wife is cheating, even though all of the 'proof' he uses to persuade himself is circumstantial and inextricably tied to his constant insecurities related to his age and appearance. [[spoiler: Double subversion--his wife was actually faithful and was ''not'' cheating when he attempted to [[BedroomAdulteryScene walk in on her]] and literally play the part of the wounded spouse (he '''is''' an actor after all), but now his blunderings have given her ''carte blanche'' to do as she pleases. It's heavily implied at the end of the story that she actually ''will'' have an affair soon, with the very man her husband tried to entrap her with in the first place!]]
* ''Literature/OnceUponAMarigold:'' Rollo, the head palace guard, goes into a smoldering rage whenever his girlfriend shows an interest in another man, and she likes to stir him up that way.
* Erich in ''Literature/ACryInTheNight''. He's extremely possessive of his new wife Jenny and jealous of any man who shows her affection, however innocent it is. He wants her to cut her ex-husband out of her life completely despite him being the father of her children and Jenny gets the impression he believes she still has feelings for Kevin despite their marriage having ended years ago. He even makes a point of asking her on their wedding night if there have been any other men she's loved besides Kevin (with the implication he wants to know whether she's ''had sex'' with anyone else too).
* ''Literature/TheGirlAndTheGhost'': A non-romantic example in Pink, who uses his powers to torment Suraya's new friend Jing out of jealousy. This then escalates into tormenting Suraya herself after she dismisses him. Luckily, he gets over it.
* Fu Shenxing from ''Literature/WhoIsThePrey''. While He Yan is married to Yuan Ze, he has his men chop off his finger after he finds out everything and forces He Yan to divorce him. Late in the story, [[spoiler:when he finds out He Yan is pregnant with Yuan Ze’s child after having escaped for a year, he forces her to have an abortion.]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/WordOfHonor'': The Scorpion King and Zhao Jing's relationship [[IncestSubtext isn't explicitly romantic]], but the Scorpion King ''hates'' Zhao Jing spending time with anyone else and will go as far as [[MurderTheHypotenuse murdering the competition.]]
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': Sheldon tends to get quite jealous when it comes to Amy, which is odd, given that he generally has little interest in romance. Even before he admitted that he had feelings for her (which he only did because of Amy's OperationJealousy date with Stuart), he was rather territorial of her, once even hitting Leonard when an InnocentInnuendo made him think Leonard had hooked up with her.
** Leonard himself, mostly as a result of being an InsecureLoveInterest to Penny. Notably, the only time he starts doing the "crazy" part was in a sixth season episode regarding Penny working with a classmate, confronting the guy with an anonymous tip that her boyfriend has "gang" connections. Before this, he could certainly seethe with jealousy at times, but rarely did it manifest in something crazy.
* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': Jake Peralta tends to have a fit of strong jealousy toward any guys who get close to his love interest Amy Santiago, including Teddy Wells, Melvin Stermley and Detective Dave Majors. [[spoiler: Despite this, the two still end up marrying.]]
* [[spoiler: Oswald Cobblepot]] from ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' is this towards [[spoiler: Edward Nygma (The Riddler), killing his love interest Isabella and instead of killing him freezing him in a block of ice and later treating him as the centrepiece for his club, giving off an "If I can't have him, no one can!" vibe]].
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': A lot of Orell's antagonism against Jon seems due to his feelings for Ygritte.
* ''{{Series/Hannibal}}'': [[SerialKiller Hannibal]] [[IAmAHumanitarian Lecter]]'s deep, [[VillainousCrush intense love]] for his sort-of patient/frienemy/[[OneTrueLove intellectual soulmate]] [[TheEmpath Will]] [[TheProfiler Graham]] takes his existing homicidal, boundary-breaking tendencies and ramps them up. He alienates Will from both Jack and Alana and [[spoiler: pretends to]] kill Abigail to keep Will all to himself (in Will's own words, he's "fostering codependency"); [[NotGoodWithRejection surrenders to the police and goes to jail to both spite Will and reject his rejection]] and [[LoveWillLeadYouBack to make sure Will knew where he was when he inevitably changed his mind]]; and [[spoiler: uses Dolerhyde to try and kill Will's wife and step-son by proxy]].
** As it turns out, Will is seemingly prone to just as much jealously when it comes to Hannibal. You would think, after Hannibal [[spoiler: kept his encephalitis from him, framed him for his crimes and got him thrown in a mental physicality, pretended to kill their shared surrogate daughter and later tried to have his wife and step-son killed]] that he'd be able to resist Hannibal's charm and attention, but he can't. Though his eventual coldness towards his previous crush Alana comes partially from her not believing him about Hannibal being the Chesapeake Ripper, he becomes outright hostile toward her after learning she and Hannibal are dating and the relationship hardly recovers. He's even worse towards Bedelia Du Maurier, the woman who took his place as Hannibal's outlaw partner in season three, [[spoiler: likely being the one to chose her as the final victim we see Hannibal and Will go after together.]]
* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Mr. Boynton is usually even-headed, but on occasion can be crazy jealous when provoked. In the [[TheMovie cinematic]] [[GrandFinale series finale]], Miss Brooks spending time with millionaire Gary Nolan sees him turn crazy jealous (with a little prodding from Mrs. Davis). [[spoiler: This ends up being a good thing, as it eventually leads to Miss Brooks and Mr. Boynton marrying and living HappilyEverAfter.]]
* On ''Series/CafeAmericain'', this is Carlo's CatchPhrase, demonstrating his jealousy over anyone making eyes at his girlfriend:
-->"I kill him! I kill him bad! [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill I kill him two times!]]"
%%* Gavin on ''Series/RaisingTheBar''.
* The eponymous character of ''Series/{{House}}'' is this towards his best and only friend Dr. Wilson and any man interested in Dr. Cuddy.
* Dean from ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. He loathes Tristan simply for the fact that he had classes with Rory; after Tristan is PutOnABus, he starts reacting jealously when Rory and Jess start to become friends. He continues to antagonize them even after he breaks up with her and she starts to date Jess. Dean's jealous nature reappears when Rory and Logan become friendly, even though Dean himself is cheating on his wife with Rory, and he still loses Rory to a rival in the end.
* Chuck on ''Series/GossipGirl'' can be this way with regards to Blair sometimes.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/RedDwarf'' as Kryten becomes this in Season 7 due to the arrival of his master Lister’s OldFlame Kristine Kochanski. Terrified at the new possibility of Lister abandoning him, Kryten does his best to come between Lister and Kochanski acting like a clingy mother. He even sabotages Starbug forcing the crew to climb through the service ducts just because Lister prepared a cool bath for Krissie.
** Back in Season 2 Rimmer threatens to kill Lister upon discovering he had a relationship with his girlfriend Lise Yates at the exact time he was going out with her. [[spoiler: In actuality Rimmer never dated Lise, Lister just implanted his own memories into Rimmer’s brain as a gift]].
** Attempted weaponisation of this trope in Season 8 episode “Cassandra”. [[spoiler: The titular A.I who has clairvoyance knows Lister will (accidentally) kill her so she tries to manipulate events so that Rimmer will sleep with Kochanski and Lister will find them and shoot Rimmer in the back of the head with a harpoon gun in a fit of jealousy, which would in turn make Krissie hate him. Lister catches on to it and even when he finds Rimmer about to kiss Kochanski he doesn’t kill the former, much to Kochanski‘s disappointment]].
* Jez in ''Series/PeepShow'' has sent dog crap in the post, pepper-sprayed, sabotaged the career of, tried to punch, and possibly subconsciously tried to murder the men - and in one case, woman - whom he considered rivals for whatever woman was the current target of his infatuation. In one episode, he got so clingy, he was threatened by his girlfriend showing kindness to a homeless man. Mark, although less extreme, still has elements of this trope in his jealous stalking of Sophie and Johnston when he punched Jez after mistakenly thinking he was sleeping with Big Suze.
* ''Series/FamilyAffairs'' villain Pete Callen murdered his wife's lover and framed his wife for the crime.
* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'':
** Andy becomes one in the second season after Ann dumps him and begins dating Mark, and he goes to great lengths to try and get her back, including moving into a pit in front of her house. He ultimately gets over it when he grows closer to April... and in Season 3, when she starts dating a guy she met on vacation in Venezuela (to get back at Andy for accidentally kissing Ann), he goes to similar lengths to win her over.
** Tom becomes one after divorcing his first wife Wendy and realizing he actually did have feelings for her, although Wendy herself only saw Tom as a friend and their marriage was a CitizenshipMarriage to keep her from being deported back to Canada. Even when he gets over her romantically, he still feels disgusted over the fact that she later starts seeing the RatedMForManly Ron.
* Ray Kowalski in ''Series/DueSouth'' was this way when his ex-wife began dating someone, and when Fraser showed interest in at least one woman, and especially toward Fraser's deep friendship with Ray Vecchio.
* Will in ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfUs'' went through a phase of being like this with his girlfriend Sam and Jason when he started stalking his ex started when she started a fling with a musician.

* ''Series/{{Skins}}'': A major BerserkButton for Cook is seeing another man get cozy with Effy. Also, Lara's ex when he threatened JJ.
* ''Series/{{Eastenders}}'' has Grant Mitchell and Mark Fowler.
%%* John in ''The Lakes''.
%%* Mac over his wife Catherine in ''Series/ClockingOff''.
%%* Lex in ''Series/TheWire''.
%%* Pullo over Eirene and Vorenus over Niobe in ''Series/{{Rome}}''.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' has given us many, many examples of crazy jealous men. Spike, Angel, Riley, Xander, and Oz have all had their moments and the identity of the killer in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E4BeautyAndTheBeasts}} Beauty and the Beasts]]".
** Especially Xander. Throughout the show, he gets jealous when it comes to any girl he's interested in (including Buffy, who he never actually dated) and had a major BerserkButton episode when he almost killed Spike for sleeping with Anya.
** For Angel, there's even a [[RunningGag running gag]] where he shows up just to find Buffy with other guys and it continues well past getting his spin-off.
%%* ''Series/{{Emmerdale}}'' Chris Tate and Cain Dingle.
%%* Charlie Stubbs and Frank Foster in ''Series/CoronationStreet''.
%%* Adam Williams in ''Cold Feet''.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': PlayedForLaughs, providing some memorable scenes:
** Ross was this way with Rachel and, to a lesser extent, Emily. This is discussed in a Series 4 episode, where Phoebe points out how Ross only started acting like this after he split up with Carol (his first wife, who [[LastHetRomance turned out to be a lesbian]]), so that first divorce [[FreudianExcuse really did a number on him.]]
** Chandler had a bit of this with Kathy as well, and Monica whenever [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Richard]] is brought up.
** Deconstructed later on with [[spoiler:Ross as his irrational jealousy leads to him and Rachel breaking up. Emily becomes this in a much less funny way. And Chandler's jealousy drives Kathy to sleep with her co-star.]] Plays out better with [[spoiler:Chandler and Monica, as he explains he's worried about Richard because she loves him more than Chandler, and Monica quickly asserts that Chandler has never been second best to her and he's more important than Richard.]]
* ''Series/TheSopranos'' had a minor character like this who put a man in a coma for talking to his girlfriend. Christopher also had his moments over Adriana.
* Heathcliff in any TV adaptation of ''Literature/WutheringHeights'' is portrayed this way. Also, ''Sparkhouse'', based on ''Wuthering Heights'', had the character Andrew, who was so jealous at the idea of his ex having sex with someone else that he banged his head against a wall.
* ''Series/{{Oz}}'' has a homosexual version of this with Keller's obsession with Beecher and a heterosexual version with Ryan's obsession with Dr. Nathan.
%%* Sean Kerrigan in ''{{Series/Cracker}}''.
* {{Domestic Abuse}}r Christian in ''Series/{{Brookside}}''.
%%* Neeley in ''Falling For A Dancer''.
%%* [[spoiler:Susy's husband]] in ''Series/TuttiFrutti''.
* Bruno Milligan from ''Footballers' Wives'' made his wife's life a misery with his paranoid suspicions. Despite being a constant philanderer, Jason Turner seethed with rage at the idea of his wife so much as flirting with another man
* Despite usually lamenting the fact that he's married to Peg, Al Bundy from ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' frequently reacts like this when other men make advances on her.
** Al is also, oddly, completely unprotective ''and'' overprotective of his daughter, Kelly, at the same time. He doesn't seem to care where she goes or who she's with, or what she does. But let him catch a boy in the house, and he will beat him up (generally by smashing his head into walls) before throwing him out of the house.
* An episode of ''{{Series/Extras}}'' had Creator/WarwickDavis getting violent with anyone his girlfriend told him had made advances towards her
* Michael in ''Series/{{Brotherhood}}'', to the point where he's blind to the fact the everything else in his life is falling apart.
* Soames Forsyte in ''Literature/TheForsyteSaga''.
* Tony in ''Series/MenBehavingBadly'', both when he was obsessively pursuing Debra and once he finally got her. In one episode, he gets so paranoid he puts his arms possessively around her when a group of ''12-year-old boys'' walk past.
* ''Series/TheInbetweeners'' has Donovan over Charlotte. Jay borders on this with his obsessiveness over his girlfriend Chloe's whereabouts in the final episode of season 2, although he is a far more gentle example than most.
%%* Rose's husband Len in ''Series/TheJury''.
* ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet'': The Turkish pimp in series 1. Ally Fraser showed potential to be this when he warned Wayne off Vicky.
-->'''Ally:''' That's mine.\\
'''Wayne:''' Nice car, squire.\\
'''Ally:''' I didn't mean the car.
* ''At Home With the Braithwaites'' had the patriarch David Braithwaite who nearly killed his brother in a fight over his ex Alison, then punched another man over her. Mike Hartnoll threatened his estranged wife's lesbian lover with a gun
* The ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' episode "Split Second" has Steve Dixon, the head of a logging company who ''really'' doesn't take kindly to his workers cracking jokes about his new wife. He ends up severely beating his newest worker after his unfaithful wife seduces the guy and he catches them in the act.
* Finn of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' toward Rachel any time she's dating someone who's not him.
* ''Series/DesperateHousewives'':
** George, a pharmacist, lusted after Bree once she ended their affair together and became jealous of her husband, Rex. So he tampered with Rex's prescription drugs by replacing his heart medication with placebos. He also beats up and attempts to kill other people who look like they are trying to come in between him and Bree. He also drugged Bree at one point and was seriously considering taking advantage of her. He eventually proposed to Bree and pressured her into marrying him. After the engagement, he became increasingly possessive of her and increasingly violent.
** Carlos towards Gabrielle in the first season of ''Series/DesperateHousewives''. She ''was'' cheating on him, but he ended up physically assaulting the wrong man ''twice'' (both of them turning out to be gay) and getting a prison sentence for it.
* Gabe from ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' is starting to feel really uncomfortable about Erin being around Andy.
* Arthur from ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' doesn't appreciate Guinevere having close friendships with any other males (except [[HeterosexualLifePartners Merlin]]) and becomes a GreenEyedMonster every time she seems particularly fond of anyone other than him. When he catches her and Lancelot in an embrace, he attacks Lancelot and would have killed him had Guinevere not thrown herself between them.
* [[MeaningfulName Jealocit]], a VillainOfTheWeek from ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''. He had a crush on [[EvilGenius Insarn]] since high school, but when she fell in LoveAtFirstSight with former [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]] Kyosuke Jinnai, he developed '''''[[LargeHam BURNING JEALOUSY POWER!!!]]''''' and nearly defeated the Gokaigers. Then Kyosuke (who had no interest in being a vertex of this LoveTriangle) mediated the situation... and the Gokaiger kicked his butt.
* Eli from ''Series/{{Degrassi}}''. He goes crazy after Clare starts talking to Fitz, and acts this way towards Imogen when they date. He finds out that it isn't related to his mental illness, he's just possessive.
* Jesse from ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'''s segment "Hydrau-licked" was this towards his girlfriend. Considering this is a show about freaky deaths, he becomes an AssholeVictim when he ends up getting [[DroppedABridgeOnHim his "love rival"'s car dropped on him]].
* ''Series/MurderInMind'' had several episodes about cuckolded men who resort to murder. Steve 'Phil from Eastenders' [=McFadden=] played a firefighter who hired a hitman who to kill his bitchy wife and his obnoxious co-worker she was sleeping with while they were in bed together and Rob Brydon plays a control freak who murders his brother in law after discovering a long-term affair with his wife and makes it look like a mugging gone wrong
* TV movie ''Too Good To Be True'' centered on a man who had left his wife for a younger woman then went into full-on {{Yandere}} mode when his estranged wife found a new boyfriend
* Whitney is characterized this way on ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', although he's really ProperlyParanoid when it comes to Clark, who completely tops his game.
* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Troy Barnes goes all "[[CuteAndPsycho psycho]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend girl]][[LoveMakesYouCrazy friend]]" on Toby, who he thinks is replacing him as Abed's best friend in ''[[Recap/CommunityS4E03ConventionsOfSpaceAndTime Conventions of Space and Time]]''. Note that Troy is dating Britta at the time... and she's encouraging this behavior.
-->'''Britta:''' That guy is stealing your boyfriend!
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** Commander Millington is revealed to be this in the novelization of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric Curse of Fenric]]". He and [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Dr. Judson]] went to school together, and one day at rugby practice, Millington saw Judson talking to another boy, and... well, he arranged an accident that put the good doctor into a wheelchair for the rest of his life (or at least until Fenric possessed him).
** The Doctor himself in his Eleventh and Twelfth generations. Whether he feels a sexual, romantic, or platonic attraction to his companions is ambiguous, but he definitely prefers to be the center of their attention.
** Mickey suffered from this during the 9th Doctor tenure. He was highly jealous of his girlfriend Rose running off with The Doctor and exhibited a highly possessive attitude towards her. Thanks to some CharacterDevelopment he grew out of it and formed a friendship with The Doctor in later seasons.
* Ted Jr. is very jealous of Daniel for having his wife Tawny's affections in ''Series/{{Rectify}}'' and informs him that she's "off-limits". Daniel, in turn, knocks out Ted, pulls his pants down, and puts coffee grounds on his butt to humiliate him and make it look like he pooped himself when angry with him.
* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E05SimonSaid "Simon Said" (S02, Ep05)]], Andy's twin almost kills a woman because he realizes Andy still has feelings for her and is worried she might get between him and his twin.
* Paco Durando in the ''Series/FrontierCircus'' episode "The Daring Durandos". He threatens to cut the hands off anyone who touches his wife. His wife happens to be a NewOldFlame of Ben's.
* Played with and [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] with Steve from ''Series/StrangerThings'' over Nancy. While dismissive of her feelings he isn’t in any a way an abusive boyfriend, he does however become very unpleasant when he sees Jonathan in Nancy’s bedroom and doesn’t stop his JerkAss friends from SlutShaming Nancy with graffiti. Upon being confronted by Nancy and Jonathan, he provokes a fight with the latter (even [[KickTheDog mocking Jonathan’s little brother Will’s apparent death]]) at which Jonathan beats the shit out of him. Afterwards Steve is deeply remorseful, breaking it off with his poisonous friends, he helps wipe away the graffiti and even aids Jonathan and Nancy in finale. In Season 2 his relationship with Nancy disintegrates further despite Steve’s best efforts to make amends, by the end of the second series Steve [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy accepts]] Nancy moving on to be with Jonathan.
** Hopper is like this in Season 3, towards to Joyce, his old highschool sweetheart. He sets up a date with her at a restaurant but unfortunately she instead goes to Mr Clarke (the science’s teacher) to ask about why [[MakesSenseInContext her magnets aren’t working]]. Hopper upset that he was stood up and angry upon learning who Joyce went to rather than dining with him, becomes pissy with her and hesitant to show his feelings again for most of the season. Murray notes Hopper’s defensive facade of gruffness and calls him a “big baby” who’s afraid of showing his feelings because he got hurt. Hopper and Joyce do reconcile in the finale and plan another date [[spoiler: before Hopper seemingly dies in a HeroicSacrifice]].
* Tom Marans from ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' murdered his girlfriend because he believed she was going to leave him for her ex-boyfriend [[IfICanfHaveYou and he refused to let her leave him.]]
* Both Ted and Barney in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''. Both of them are in love with Robin though Barney doesn't start to have feelings for her long after Ted broke up with Robin. In the middle of season 3, Barney slept with Robin and when Ted found out about it, he was furious and refuses to accept Barney as a friend anymore though they make amends by the end of the season. By then, Barney genuinely begins to have feelings for Robin and in an episode in which Ted and Robin have sex whenever they are in an argument, Barney takes out his frustration by breaking broken [=TVs=]. By the end of season 4, Robin and Barney started dating without any problems from Ted. Fast forward to season 8, Ted becomes jealous that Robin had accepted Barney's proposal and tries to ruin their wedding planner. Though Lily talks him out of it, he again tries to confess his feelings for Robin by going to great lengths to find her missing locket and give it to her as a wedding gift. Ultimately, he decides to abandon the idea and let go of her feelings for Robin.
* ''Series/SchittsCreek'':
** Played for laughs when normally confident Patrick witnesses a drunken Ted kiss his boyfriend David during a game of SpinTheBottle. Even though David did not want to play, did not initiate the kiss, and Ted is straight, Patrick gets into a jealous huff. He's egged on by David's sister/Ted's girlfriend Alexis, but he and David eventually talk things out.
** Johnny trusts his wife and knows nothing happened, but he's still not happy when he finds out she spent the night passed out in Roland's bed.

* In ''Series/TheWitcher2019'' Geralt can’t help but “[[DeathGlare stare]] [[GreenEyedMonster daggers]]”, at his LoveInterest Yennefer’s romantic escort the witless knight Eyck of Denesle in Episode 6 “Rare Species”. When Eyck is killed by a third party (the reavers), Yennefer entertains the idea that Geralt [[MurderTheHypotenuse killed Eyck out of jealousy]], during an argument with the Witcher.
** Ostrit from Episode 3 “Betrayer Moon” is a particular nasty one, being the advisor and secret lover of the late princess Adda, Ostrit was enraged when prince (now king) Foltest [[BrotherSisterIncest got his sister pregnant]]. In response he cursed Adda turning her baby into a Striga which clawed its way out of Adda and stalked the kingdom. Thankfully Ostrit gets [[LaserGuidedKarma a karmic death]] changed to bed by a disgusted Geralt and [[AssholeVictim disemboweled by the Striga]] he created.
* ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'': The ([[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane apparent]]) Creator says the Keeper is intent on destruction of all life due to jealousy. Before she created living things, they were lovers, with no other beings in existence. When she created life, and especially lavished love on humanity, the Keeper became enraged by this due to her affections no longer solely being his. He created death as a start, as she'd originally made them immortal, and the Creator refused to be with him ever after. The Keeper things by destroying all life she'll be forced to return. Whether or not [[GodInHumanForm she's the Creator]] isn't certain, as she might be a delusional woman. However, he ''does'' attempt to draw her down into the underworld after learning her location so they're together again, thus at least his love for her is apparently real.

''But you weren't honest''\\
''Now get in the ground!''
* Music/NickJonas's "Jealous" is about the singer talking about how he feels jealous of other guys looking at his girlfriend. He says that even though he knows that she loves him, he wonders if she wants the guy who's eyeing her. He even says that it's his right to be hellish and jealous towards anyone who wants her.
* "Genghis Khan" by Miike Snow is about a man who is possessive of his lover despite not being in a committed relationship with her.
* "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Jay and The Americans is about an American tourist in Mexico who gets on the bad side of one of these when said jealous guy's girlfriend starts flirting with him:
-->''Then the music stopped, when I looked, the café was empty''\\
''Then I heard Jose say [[OhCrap "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty..."]]''
* Probably a different José appears in "Run For the Border" by Johnny Rodriguez. During a wild weekend in Mexico, a man suddenly kicks down the door. The narrator finds out a bit too late that the woman he's with left out a vital piece of information.
-->''"José, he's tall dark and handsome," she said as she reached for her clothes.''\\

''Yes, I'm José's wife, José's got a knife, and José is hot on your trail."''
* And then there's "Smokey Joe's Cafe". Everyone warns the patron that the "chick" flirting with him is Smokey Joe's girl. Smokey Joe's reaction is relatively moderate; he pulls his chef's knife and tells the guy to finish his beans and get out.
* Eve 6's "Think Twice" is about a man who is jealous of another guy for being close to his lover.
* In Music/MetropolisPt2ScenesFromAMemory by Music/DreamTheater, [[spoiler: Victoria and Julian are murdered by Edward, who Victoria was cheating on Julian with, after they get back together. Edward then frames Julian by making it appear like a murder-suicide and using his political clout to get the media to go with it.]]
* The traditional ballad "Matty Groves" (made famous by Music/FairportConvention among others) has a jealous husband confront his naked wife's lover, giving him the advantage of first blow. [[DisproportionateRetribution It didn't work out very well for poor Matty]], nor for the wife for that matter.
* The boyfriend in "i don't really like your boyfriend" by Music/AvenueBeat is controlling and won't let the singer's friend go out to party without asking for permission first. The lyrics also say he treats her like his property. The singer cites these as the main reasons her friend should break up with him, believing she deserves better than "this piece of human trash".

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* Wrestling/RandySavage, regarding Gorgeous George ([[Wrestling/GeorgeWagner not that one]] and [[GorgeousGeorge not of that kind]], the Wrestling/{{WCW}} [[InNameOnly one]]) and Wrestling/MissElizabeth. Of course, he usually turned out to be sort of justified in this behavior, as a lot of wrestlers ''were'' trying to steal them away from him.
* [[Wrestling/DavidHeath Vampire Warrior]], otherwise known as Gangrel, found himself feuding with his wife in Wrestling/{{ECW}} when he found Wrestling/LunaVachon in the promotion providing managerial services for Wrestling/TommyDreamer. Though Wrestling/{{Raven}} helped push him in this direction.
* Wrestling/SamiCallihan towards Wrestling/DaizeeHaze, although the crazy was much more readily apparent than the jealousy, there was some of that too, as though he mainly stalked her through the International Wrestling Cartel, he also stole from and attacked students training in Wrestling/RingOfHonor to keep them away from Daizee (Haze being one of the ROH academy heads).
* Wrestling/JimmyJacobs, despite growing cold toward Lacey when he found out love ''doesn't'' conquer all, still loved Lacey and was still highly upset when it looked like she might prefer Wrestling/ColtCabana (Which she did) or leave him for Wrestling/AustinAries ([[ProperlyParanoid which she did]]).
* {{Invoked|Trope}} by [[Wrestling/KarleePerez Catrina]] on Wrestling/LuchaUnderground when she found out her old boyfriend [[Wrestling/SamiCallihan Jeremiah Crane]]([[ContinuityNod who has a history of this]]) was dating the latest target of her sadism, Wrestling/IvelisseVelez. She intentionally used the fact Crane still loved her while fawning over Mil Muertes and telling him she loved someone else([[VillainessesWantHeroes who turned out]] to be Fenix) in order to make Crane jealous and cause him [[EvilIsPetty to break up with Velez]].

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* DoubleSubverted in ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues''. Daigo, despite his creepy and villainous personality, seems to have no problem with his beloved girlfriend flirting with other men... but that's only because he thinks she's playing around. If she ever seriously acted on her flirtations, then he'd be pissed.

* This turns out to be the FatalFlaw of Theatre/{{Othello}}, which is used by [[ManipulativeBastard Iago]] to ruin him and ends up costing Desdemona her life.
%%* The husband in ''DialMForMurder''.
* Leontes in ''Theatre/TheWintersTale'', played for dark comedy -- dark because of the tragic consequences, comedy because everyone {{lampshade|Hanging}}s how absurd his accusations are against his wife and best friend.
* By Act III of ''Theatre/{{Carmen}}'', Don José has become this to the title character. Turns out, Carmen herself does not like men of this type, and she soon falls in love with a flashy, [[NiceGuy but very nice]] bullfighter named Escamillo.
* Demetrius and Lysander suffer a spell-induced version in ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream.''
* King George III appears as one to the American colonies in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', best exemplified in his song "You'll Be Back":
-->''When you're gone, I'll go mad''\\
''So don't throw away this thing we've had''\\
''[='Cause=] when push comes to shove''\\
''I will kill your friends and family... to remind you of my love!''
* In ''The Saint of Bleecker Street'' by Gian-Carlo Menotti, Michel behaves in a jealous overprotective manner, not so much to his actual girlfriend, but to his sister Annina, scoffing at her religious piety and vowing to prevent her from TakingTheVeil.
* ''Theatre/WesterosAnAmericanMusical'': Littlefinger towards Sansa. When Sansa gets married for AltarDiplomacy purposes, Littlefinger doesn't attend the wedding, and the letter he leaves for her soon-to-be husband to explain his absence consists entirely of the words "Fuck you, she's mine".

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has Jin Kisaragi for his brother Ragna. And Jin's not-quite-girlfriend Tsubaki is a ClingyJealousGirl for him.
* If ''VideoGame/Persona3'' [[UpdatedRerelease Portable's]] [[DistaffCounterpart Female Protagonist]] forms a romantic relationship with [[TheBigGuy Akihiko]] [[BigBrotherInstinct Sanada]], he shows some shades of this. It's mostly played for laughs and mostly directed at [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Ken Amada]], who is surprisingly capable of holding his own against it.
* Bowser from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' has been portrayed as this towards Princess Peach and likely plays a part in his antagonism towards Mario. In several games Bowser has brainwashed Peach, demanded kisses from her and [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe attempted to marry her]] multiple times.
** The BrainwashedAndCrazy Luigi aka Mr L from from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' appears to be this to Peach as well. He reveals that he’s jealous of Mario’s relationship with Peach and his superior jumping ability.
* In ''VideoGame/{{NieR}}'' supplemental material, it turns out that [[spoiler:Jakob]] is actually kind of a possessive jerk about his brother. [[spoiler:After their mom left and Gideon still worried about her, he told Gideon that robots tore their father to shreds and boarded up the windows so Gideon could only leave one way. He even thought about breaking his legs to keep him there.]]
* Fenrich from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'' tends to get violently possessive of Valvatorez, with his behavior ranging from casual death threats to people he thinks are getting too close for comfort to at least one attempt of trying to ''carry out'' said death threats.
* Captain Robert Norton of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace3'' is this regarding Ellie Langford. As the game wears on he gets more and more suspicious of Isaac Clarke, assuming he's trying to "steal" Ellie and blaming him for the various things that go wrong with the mission. [[spoiler:Norton goes so far as to betray Isaac to the Unitologists. Even after Isaac saves his ass from Danik, and later the rampaging Nexus Necromorph, Norton attacks him, forcing Isaac to kill him in self-defense.]]
* Albedo from ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', when he was a child and sometimes even as an adult, was this towards his older brother Jr./Rubedo.
* Sie Kensou from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', as Athena's DoggedNiceGuy. At first it was limited to manga adaptations like KOF: KYO and KOF G (which played this almost ''completely'' for laughs and ButtMonkey effects), but in ''XIII'' he gets '''pissed''' if he's in a MirrorMatch and he thinks his "double" is disguising himself as him to "steal" Athena. Thankfully, he doesn't let this go to the extreme.
* [[HeroicComedicSociopath Henry]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' plays the trope for [[BlackComedy laughs]]. If he has a girlfriend and they talk about love while stepping on an event tile, he cheerfully tells her that he loves her and then asks if he can put a curse on her so she won't be able to look at other guys. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment We never find out if he actually does, though.]] (Most likely not; he doesn't tend to curse other people as easily as Tharja does.)
* Derek Simmons the BigBad of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' is obsessed with Ada Wong to point of making clones of her, and destroying a lot Lanshiang just trying to capture Ada, so when Simmons discovers Ada has a [[DatingCatwoman relationship]] with Leon S. Kennedy Simmons drops everything [[MurderTheHypotenuse to murder Leon]] as quickly as possible. Best summed up with this line:
-->'''Simmons''': GET AWAY FROM HER LEON, YOU'RE NOT HALF THE MAN SHE NEEDS!
* ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'': Warden Eternal claims to be trying to stop Master Chief from [[spoiler: Cortana]] because he doesn't trust him not to betray [[spoiler: her]] but it becomes quite obvious that he's very jealous of [[spoiler: how much Cortana still cares for Master Chief and is acting more to MurderTheHypotenuse. ]]
* Matt from ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' depending on the player’s choices can become a Crazy Jealous Guy over his girlfriend AlphaBitch Emily and her ex-boyfriend and ChickMagnet Mike. If Ashley lets him look through the binoculars and see Mike hugging Emily, he’ll become enraged and can get into a scuffle with Mike over it later, forcing Josh to separate them. Worse still later in the game Matt can literally bargain with Emily’s life as she’s dangling over a pit, demanding that she and Mike are done before he pulls her to safety, which Emily has no choice to comply with. [[spoiler: Though she still falls anyway]].
* In ''VideoGame/AlQadimTheGeniesCurse'', the sorcerer Farid Al-Mutan is a little way down this road, being paranoid that his wife will be seduced by another man. He is therefore keen to keep you — a heroic, swashbuckling, WalkingShirtlessScene — away from her. He doesn't go so far as to drive you away, but he does make pointed remarks to you about how dishonorable any hypothetical wife-seducer would surely be, and he asks your word that you'll never seek out his wife's company. His wife, should she learn of his jealousy, takes her husband to task for being silly — she's loyal to him and he should trust her.
* Jeff in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' is a randomly encountered minor character in the game, but he stands out due to how unstable his jealousy is. He accosts the main protagonist Niko Bellic on the streets asking him to spy on his wife Shirley all while on the verge of exploding in a fit of anger since he is highly paranoid that she is cheating on him. After some time has passed after the first encounter, it's revealed that he [[IfICantHaveYou brutally murdered her]] by [[NoKillLikeOverKill stabbing her fifty times]] and tells Niko to dump her body in a river. When Niko encounters him for the third time, it turns out that he married again a short time after murdering Shirley and he is also paranoid that his new wife is cheating on him, asking Niko to kill her for him. Even for a guy that [[HitmanWithAHeart kills people for money]], he [[EvenEvilHasStandards refuses to do this for a complete psycho like Jeff]] leading to walk out in the streets in anger and [[KarmicDeath getting ran over by a car]].
* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' brings us [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Bloody Baron]], who visited some DisproportionateRetribution on the man his wife had had an affair with - [[spoiler: namely, cutting him into pieces and feeding him to the dogs]].
* Minor and gentle case with Cloud Strife in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' who has shades of this trope towards his [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood crush]] Tifa Lockhart. While Cloud is pretty nonchalant about most things, hearing other men make lecherous comments about Tifa’a [[MsFanservice attractiveness]] does [[NotSoStoic noticeably]] aggravate him. This is seen in the Colosseum Side Mission as Sam, an NPC in conversation with Cloud, rather perversely [[TemptingFate compliments]] Tifa’s looks calling her a “bombshell” who keeps in shape. Cloud in response says “Hey” in a threatening tone and makes a step towards Sam, who, unnerved, holds his hands up saying he was “just making an observation”.
* Izumi in ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' is extremely possessive over Makoto, a former friend of his who used to model with him until he quit prior to the events of the game. He so strongly believes that he is entitled to seeing Makoto model with him (not to mention Makoto looking up to him as a brother again, or perhaps something more romantic) that in the Main Story he actually ''kidnaps'' him and traps him in a soundproof room, keeping him from sleeping and only allowing him to eat when Izumi's hand feeds him until he will be 'honest'. After Makoto gets out of this, he still routinely stalks him and is extremely clingy whenever they meet, trying to separate Makoto from any other potential friends and allies. Eventually, Makoto manages to strike a bargain where he won't run from him on sight if Izumi heavily cuts down on the creepy behavior; he only mostly succeeds, and while Makoto stops being scared of him, when Izumi graduates Makoto is still basically happy to see him go, even if he hopes he'll be successful (far, far away from him).
* At the beginning of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonOne'', Lee was on his way to prison for killing his wife's lover. Though he can admit to The Stranger that he regrets hurting her, he doesn't regret killing him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Exaggerated with Dennis in ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework''. In his book, any woman who prefers another guy to him is a “stupid fucking bitch.”
* [[TheMafia Jacopo]] from ''VisualNovel/TheHouseInFataMorgana'' has naturally jealous tendencies towards [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage his]] [[LoveMartyr wife]], helped in no small part by [[spoiler:his FalseFriend deliberately]] leading him to believe she's having an affair. His aggressive behaviour and [[PoorCommunicationKills inability to clearly confront her or listen to her side of the story]] quickly escalate, to the point where he becomes violent with her and imprisons her in a separate cottage on his property to prevent her from meeting other men. His jealousy is PlayedForLaughs in the [[BreakingTheFourthWall Backstage]] segments, where he spends a good amount of time seeking [[WeUsedToBeFriends Morgana's]] affection only to be spurned in favour of Michel, who he quickly proceeds to insult at every opportunity.
* Hisao from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' isn't normally this, but develops slight tendencies if you pursue [[spoiler:Emi Ibarazaki]]'s route. He's more passive-aggressive than outwardly aggressive, though, and he snaps fast out of it: [[spoiler:he suspects that she's getting close to the track team captain... but it turns out they're sort-of PlatonicLifePartners instead, as said captain [[IncompatibleOrientation is gay]]. Emi has a good laugh at Hisao's expense when she finds out.]]
* Steve from ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' has shades of this. He insinuates that Melody should get back together with him, and he does things that are creepy or worse.
* Makoto in ''VisualNovel/ShinyDays'' is rather hypocritical, easily cheating on the people he considers his girlfriend without a second thought. However, he comes to believe that Setsuna is cheating on him with someone old enough to be her father (for good reason, given that he is) and refuses to listen to her, generally treating her terribly throughout.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* Jung from ''Webcomic/CheeseInTheTrap'' is this towards Sul. After each time he's angry at her for going on a blind date or spending time with a male friend, he apologizes and says he was just being childish, but [[spoiler:his behaviour to the fake grandson and to Yoon Seop proves just how scary he can be if anyone puts Sul or his relationship with her in danger]].
* [[TheAce Ace]] from ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'' [[HeroicBSOD spends a long period in a slump]] after being ousted by [[HyperCompetentSidekick Mittens]]. But a bit of InnocentInnuendo is all it takes to [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/07/17/mouse-plays-mole/ snap him out of it]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/07/24/fruit-its-yummy-and-not-bad/ and turn him into something else]].
* ''Webcomic/TheEvolutionsOfHomosexualityAndSuicide'': In a pair of scenarios, one Stone Age man confronts another, thinking him to be hitting on his girlfriend (he is not). In the first scenario, the first man is unconvinced of the truth and strikes the second man on the head, killing him.
* Diego from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' towards Jeanne. It's heavily implied that [[spoiler:he [[UriahGambit sent Jeanne on a mission he knew would result in her death]] when he realized that she would never love him like she loved her forest-bound boyfriend]].
* ''Webcomic/MyDeepestSecret'': Despite his {{yandere}} tendencies, Elios is surprisingly a downplayed example. While he is concerned that Emma may be seeing Brian behind his back, he’s not overly suspicious and believes her when she denies it, and the only reason [[spoiler: he attacks Brian is because he tried to rape her.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Uncle Sam is frequently characterized like this, being paranoid about Lady Liberty cheating on him and/or sending the FBI to spy on her.
* Deimos to Cain, and evidently Cain to Abel, in ''Webcomic/{{Starfighter}}''.
* Dillon of ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' demonstrates crazy comedy (and, this being Dillon, [[CampGay very gay]]) jealousy towards Jerzy, shadowing him in disguise to try and discover if he has any flaws -- and whether he might be susceptible to a certain rival's charms. This doesn't go well; Dillon gets to discover more about his own flaws, and Ruby, who he roped in to assist, gets to practice her snarking.
* Sergio from ''Webcomic/ThisIsTheWorstIdeaYouveEverHad'' is this turned up to 11. While Nicole finds him charming and mysterious, her friends are immediately wary of him due to how rude and dismissive he is of them, and they have good reason to be worried: [[spoiler:it's revealed that he's a vampire who had a habit of becoming obsessed with a girl, turning her into a vampire so they can be "together forever", then eventually losing interest in her and moving on to another victim -- and he intends to do this to Nicole, whether she wants it or not]].
* ''Webcomic/JackTheAmericanGhost:'' How Jack appeared when he was alive whenever it came to Misha. He even fired the lead singer of his band because he suspected he had a thing for her. Although one wonders whether some of his behavior around Aidan in the present was part of this. He did say it bugged him how Go-Eun would leave with a million dollars ''and'' a man.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* This comes up a lot in ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'': 1) [[BlackComedyRape Ryuk towards Light]]-new rule of the Death Note: "Don't hug your girlfriend in front of your Shinigami-they get jealous" 2) Light towards L-Light happily resumes his plan [[spoiler: to kill L]] after hearing that L [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant "took Matsuda's innocence"]] [[IfICantHaveYou after repeatedly rebuffing Light's advances]]. 3) Light (during his MemoryGambit) towards Misa after Misa returns from her job interview and informs them all that she [[InnocentInnuendo met a God in the bathroom]].

-->'''Light:''' [[IllKillYou I'm gonna kill]] that son of *[[SoundEffectBleep bleeeeeeeep]]*
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic in "The Review Must Go On". He refuses to leave Doug alone, demands to be brought back even though he'd always hated his job, wants WebVideo/DemoReel dead, and just basically acts terrifying.
* In ''WebVideo/WhereTheBearsAre'', Nelson is incredibly jealous of Todd and imagines him in bed with every man who even talks to him.
* Frank Doyle of ''Podcast/TheThrillingAdventureHour'' can get very jealous when he believes another man is genuinely interested in his wife Sadie. Sadie finds this trait of his cute up to a point. Episodes where his jealousy has reached a non-adorable tenor include "She Blinded Me with Seance", where he locks himself in their ([[TheAlcoholic walk-in]]) liquor cabinet rather than deal with Sadie's college friend constantly flirting with her, and "Basil's Day", where Frank meets Basil Valentine immediately after learning he was the man Sadie was with when a different ex-suitor of hers tried to RetGone Frank. In that case, Frank was a fan of the man and could see how she might like him so was able to get over it quickly.
* Yamcha is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example of this over Bulma in ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'', but it's still there.
-->'''Oolong:''' So Bulma, how's the single life treating you?
-->'''Bulma:''' It's been really nice, thanks. I had a dream about Vegeta the other night.

** Jake accuses Finn of this during the first Ricardio episode.
* Zuko in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "The Beach." He shoves a guy across a room just for talking to Mai.
* In the AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}},'' Beetlejuice becomes this - whenever somebody shows signs of occupying Lydia's time more than him, he instantly gets possessive of her. This includes ''his own clone''.
* Rare heroic example in the form of Hades from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans''. In the episode ''Cronus Vanquished'', the evil Cronus holds Hades and his wife Persephone captive. When Persephone considers marrying Cronus, Hades [[UnstoppableRage breaks out of his captivity, runs up to Cronus' throne, and strangles him]]. Truth be told, [[BatmanGambit Persephone was simply pretending to be interested in Cronus, and wanted this reaction out of Hades]].
* Ulrich of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' towards Yumi, especially when William is involved.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Numbuh 4 sometimes shows signs of this towards Numbuh 3.
** King Sandy, as well (though he appeared only three episodes and he later came to love Numbuh 3's younger sister).
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has numerous examples:
** Danny to Paulina (at least at first; he eventually got wise and forgot about her).
** Danny was ''not happy'' when [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Sam]] showed interest in the foreign exchange student Gregor. He went from scowling to using his ghost powers to spy on their date. Played completely sympathetically though, since he's ObliviousToLove.
** [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Vlad]] to Maddie Fenton.
** Maddie hints that [[HappilyMarried Jack]] may be like this, although it's never seen in the show.
* [[CloudCuckoolander Cosmo]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' would often get mad whenever he saw another man show affection towards his wife Wanda, particularly Wanda's ex-boyfriend Juandissimo as well as Quddus in the ''TRL'' interview.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Peter Griffin is violently jealous of any perceived flirting between Lois and anything male. In one montage of flashbacks, he beats up a movie screen with Hugh Grant on it, a dolphin, and even ''his own reflection in the mirror''.
--->'''Lois:''' ''(looking at Peter's reflection)'' Oh my, look at that handsome man.\\
'''Peter:''' You son of a bitch! ''(punches mirror)''
** Also, Stewie has shown to act in such a way towards whomever is the newest object of his affections, [[DepravedBisexual male or female]]. Like in the episode "Stewie Loves Lois" when Stewie jealously tells Brian to stop hitting on Lois after he becomes adoring of her.
** In the episode "Peter's Got Woods", James Woods and Peter become good friends after Brian gets a girlfriend and they start spending a lot of time together. However, this causes James to become very obsessed with Peter to the point of acting jealous of Brian.
%%** Brian with regards to Lois as well.
** Jeff from "[[DarkerAndEdgier Screams of Silence]]". How else can you describe a guy who got upset when his girlfriend hugged her ''brother''?
** The BlackKnight who saved Peter's life when he was a teenager, surprisingly. When his girlfriend attempted to flirt with Peter, he told Peter to get lost and threatened to kill him when comes back. [[BrokenPedestal Peter did not take]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Li'l Gideon seemed to feel that if he can't have Mabel, [[MurderTheHypotenuse nobody can]].
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'':
** One of Dino Spumoni's songs was called "You Better Not Touch My Gal", which starts with the lyrics "You better not touch my gal, / or I'll pop you in the kisser, pal!" and ends with the line "... you'll never eat solid food again!"
** Arnold has shades of this towards Ruth and later Lila.
** Arnie goes stark raving mad when he thinks Arnold was trying to steal his girl Lulu at the end of [[spoiler: Arnold's dream in]] "Arnold Visits Arnie".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': If Mr. Cat thinks you're "stealing" Kaeloo from him (even though they aren't even dating), beware. Because he's a psychopath who tortures people for fun and owns a bunch of dangerous weapons. For example, in "Let'Play Danger Island Survivor", when Kaeloo says that [[NighInvulnerable Quack Quack]] is her "best friend", Mr. Cat responds by first driving a wedge between the two of them, then making Quack Quack suffer the pain of falling into a precipice filled with starving alligators. In another episode, the gang is playing a game. When Stumpy is picked to be the prince and Kaeloo is Sleeping Beauty, Mr. Cat ''shoots Stumpy with a bazooka'' to stop him from getting to Kaeloo and kissing her, even though it's just a game.
* A lighthearted example of this trope appears in the pilot of ''WesternAnimation/MissSpidersSunnyPatchFriends'', where Spiderus makes it clear that he is still pining for Miss Spider even after she marries Holly and makes it clear that she is not interested in Spiderus at all. He repeatedly tries to convince Miss Spider that she made a poor choice in marriage, and even tries ''kill'' Holly. Luckily, he gets over it after he meets another female spider.
* Oddly enough, Discord, from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', of all characters displays this behavior. He gets a teensy bit upset when Fluttershy starts hanging out with her new friend, Tree Hugger. He gets even more upset when she invites Tree Hugger to the Gala instead of Discord. The whole episode just has him seething in jealousy and getting more infuriated with Fluttershy's new friend.
%%* Robin has traces of this behavior towards Starfire in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''.
* The title character of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' toward Penny: He falls out with Darwin because one of ''[[MadAtADream his own]]'' dreams had Penny and Darwin kissing, gets Penny sent to the hospital because he made her eat a blueberry cupcake instead of an orange one (they were supposed to represent him and Darwin, but she's allergic to blueberry), then made things worse by making her eat blue thumbtacks instead of orange allergy pills, and even tried to kill [[GenderBlenderName Leslie]] when he thought Penny was going out with him. ([[RelativeError They're actually cousins]])
* [[RobotBuddy Larry]] from ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' becomes insanely jealous when he starts suspecting that Tuddrussel and Sheila (Tuddrussel's ex-wife) are developing feelings for each other again. That entire episode, "Ex Marks The Spot", is dedicated to Larry desperately trying to [[RelationshipSabotage sabotage their alleged relationship]] and is one of the most famous ones.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' version of Donnie acts likes this towards April when he sees her interacting with Casey. It's worth noting that she was furious with him and his brothers for [[spoiler:accidentally mutating her father]] and didn't want to see them. Oh, and Donnie was also [[StalkerWithACrush spying]] on her. Yeah...
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Deconstructed in the second season with Trent. After he and Gwen became the captains of different teams, he started to worry about Duncan due to Gwen spending more time with him than before, out of fear that their relationship is falling apart and she might like Duncan instead. He developed a SuperOCD over number 9 which he never showed signs of before (and despite what Gwen and Duncan thought, it's not because you get 9 letters if you combine the letters from Trent and Gwen's names) and started to lose challenges intentionally in order to impress Gwen, but his weird behaviour made her eventually dump him and due to being accused by the Killer Grips of being the one who told Trent to lose on purpose, he convinced them that that's not the case by telling them to eliminate him. Trent is devastated when he finds out the truth.
* Rio from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' is easily jealous and quick to temper when it comes to both his girlfriend Jerrica and his crush Jem. Luckily, [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle they are the same person]]; unluckily, he doesn't know that. There's even a song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LptOaJpvrc4 Jealousy]]" about Rio being peeved at Jem being around another man. Rio outright punched the guy in the face for kissing Jem ''while filming a movie''. Rio isn't even dating Jem, he's Jerrica's boyfriend, which effectively makes him a cheater.
* Bender in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', sometimes to love interests (such as Angelyne in "Bendless Love") but ''frequently'' to [[HeterosexualLifePartners his best friend Fry]]. It provides a lot of impetus for the plot of the film ''The Beast With a Billion Backs.''
-->'''Bender:''' Because Bender ''knows'' love. And love doesn't share itself with the world. [[SpoofAesop Love is suspicious, love is needy, love is fearful, love is greedy]]. My friends, ''[[GreenEyedMonster there is no great love without great jealousy]]!''
* The ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' character Chat Noir lies to potential rivals that he's in a relationship with Ladybug...who has repeatedly explicitly told him that they're JustFriends. In contrast with Marinette, Chat Noir's jealousy is less openly antagonistic...but he's also less willing to listen to his kwami when Plagg tells him what he's doing is wrong.
* [[CasanovaWannabe Lance]] from ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' gets ''very'' jealous when a guy shows attraction to Allura or is even alone with her for an extended period of time, including Keith, Matt, and Lotor.
* King from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is a non-romantic example towards Luz, as his attempts to monopolize all her time [[LikeBrotherAndSister are more akin to that of a little brother]] than a boy with a crush. This ends up causing the bulk of the main plot of "Really Small Problems", and he's shown getting angry when Luz hugs [[spoiler:her girlfriend]] before him upon their return from the Knee at the end of "Eclipse Lake".
-->'''King:''' I'm never letting you go! You're never returning to the human realm!\\
'''Luz:''' He doesn't mean that...\\
'''King:''' Yes I do!
* The ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "Blotto" has the titular character shown to get furious when the Balloon Goon lures away his girlfriend Dotto.

* The famous Filipino painter Juan Luna endured a particularly gruesome example of this trope. Luna's marriage with his wife, Maria, in Paris, became increasingly unstable as he harbored suspicions of her going out with a Frenchman. It didn't help that he was part of a family known for its [[Film/HeneralLuna legendary temper]]. In a fit of rage, he got hold of a gun, stormed to the room containing Maria and her mother, and shot both in the head, killing them. The murder charges filed against him were eventually done away with, possibly due to Parisian society then [[NoWomansLand forgiving the crime of killing an unfaithful wife]].
* Jake La Motta, whose obsessive jealousy of his wife was made into the film ''Film/RagingBull''.
* A famous example is Burt Pugagh who, upon discovering his ex was engaged to another man, paid thugs to throw lye in her face, permanently blinding her. [[NoAccountingForTaste Amazingly, she ended up marrying him]].
* Creator/PamelaAnderson has claimed [[Music/MotleyCrue Tommy Lee]] could sometimes be like this.
* Former adult film star Jenna Jameson writes in her autobiography of having a very possessive boyfriend.
* Despite being constantly unfaithful to her, Creator/OJSimpson was very jealous of other men showing interest in his wife Nicole, both when they were married and after they divorced. It's thought by many as a probable motive in her murder, as on seeing her with waiter Ronald Goldman (he was returning the glasses she'd left behind in the restaurant), a younger, handsome man (while OJ was slashing her tires - he had been stalking her after their divorce) he then killed them both with the knife. He had already been [[DomesticAbuse abusive]] during their marriage, and many survivors of this were very outraged by his acquittal in their murders, as many suffer this behavior quite often in reality, including with violence.
* John Sweeney, the boyfriend of actress Creator/DominiqueDunne, was very jealous, especially over actors with whom she did love scenes. She ended the relationship due to his abuse and possessiveness and was tragically killed by him. He was jailed for 6 1/2 years for manslaughter in 1983. The case provoked considerable controversy due to the perceived leniency of the sentence.
* Raoul Moat. After getting out of prison, his ex told him that she was in a relationship with a police officer (she was actually lying in an attempt to get him to leave her alone). He responded by posting threats to police and others on his Facebook profile and making further detailed threats in two subsequent letters and several phone calls to police stating he would continue to shoot police officers until he was dead. He then shot his ex and her new boyfriend (killing him and seriously injuring her), killed several other innocent bystanders and blinded a policeman. He later died of suicide after a standoff with police.
* Nikki Sixx wrote in the Music/MotleyCrue autobiography ''The Dirt'' that he planned to shoot his wife's lover in the testicles, but realized he would ruin his own life by doing so. He also wrote in his own memoir, ''The Heroin Diaries,'' that he planned on getting some bikers to break the legs of the actor Jack Wagner because he thought he had sex with his girlfriend while Motley Crue was touring.
* Music/{{Eminem}} was put on probation for assaulting the man he claimed he saw kissing his wife, Kim.
* Creator/RichardPryor admitted being like this when in a state of drug-fueled paranoia.
* Music/MarilynManson wrote in his autobiography of witnessing his father behave like this towards his mother.
* Wrestling/RandySavage was this both in and out of the ring towards his then valet/wife[[note]]Randy Poffo and Elizabeth Hulette got married in RealLife in December 1984. They got "married" in the storyline at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 91''.[[/note]] Wrestling/MissElizabeth. There were several instances of Savage locking her in the dressing room whenever he left the room, along with the infamous rumor of him giving Wrestling/HulkHogan a black eye after she left Savage and moved in temporarily with the Hogans.
* Creator/CharlesBronson was very protective of his girlfriend and later wife Jill Ireland. When Jill guest-starred on the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "This Side of Paradise" as Spock's LoveInterest, Bronson stayed on set to "keep an eye on her", making Creator/LeonardNimoy very nervous.

** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'': When Hermione goes to the Slug Club party with Cormac McLaggen in book 6 (and after Ginny accuses him of being insecure about never having kissed a girl), he starts a relationship with Lavender Brown which quickly devolves into its own OperationJealousy via SickeninglySweethearts as Ron starts to realize he doesn't really have romantic feeling towards her, leaving Lavender insecure and [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy]] as Ron starts to slip away from her. This wasn't helped by the fact that Hermione's "relationship" with McLaggen was ''also'' an OperationJealousy; neither of them are good at sorting out their feelings.

** Powerboy, Kara’s obsessed stalker and ex-boyfriend from ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Supergirl Identity]]'' is a particularly vicious example. He becomes violently possessive of Kara not long into their relationship, with the breaking point being when he gets jealous of Kara’s friendship with Owen Mercer aka Captain Boomerang Jr., beating her up and imprisoning Kara just for visiting Own in hospital. Thankfully she breaks free and gets revenge with a glorious GroinAttack.

* Music/{{Eminem}} was put on probation for assaulting the man he claimed he saw kissing his wife, Music/LilKim.
