** Similarly, Toyman was somewhat of an idiot who used mechanical toys to antagonize Superman... until [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks a 1990s storyline]] (later {{retcon}}ned) in which he [[WouldHurtAChild murders Cat Grant's son]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeResolute'', Cobra Commander sets out to prove to the world that he is no longer a cowardly idiot he has Storm Shadow kill Bazooka and he blows up Moscow. He also kills Major Bludd in front of his troops to show he's not taking anymore crap from them.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Invincible}}'' [[spoiler: Omni-Man kills the original Guardians of the Globe in the end of the first episode of Invincible. Before Omni-man killed the them all, the series is first thought to be a light hearted super hero show before its tone is truly established by the end of the first episode.]]
* Airachnid's sudden and brutal murder of Breakdown in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' serves to illustrate that this homicidal, AxeCrazy villainess was no longer content just standing around the bridge of the ''Nemesis'' and taking orders.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' had never killed a named character among the good guys - of course if we're talking about the manga, and not filler/movie material. Then, in the last arc of the manga (announced by the chapter title [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Final Arc - The Thousand-Year Blood War"]]), after the enemies just showed up, they killed Sasakibe Chojiro, vice-captain of the 1st Division. Well, his name is actually the only thing we really knew about him, but during his funeral, it was established that [[InformedAbility he was actually]] a [[StrongerThanTheyLook much stronger warrior than he apeared to be]], and thus the new enemies are to be taken [[TheWorfEffect very seriously]].

* Creator/DCComics have been using this trope repeatedly in their CrisisCrossover storylines. The best example might be Dr. Light, who suffered from VillainDecay to the point that he was a joke among Franchise/TheDCU, and returned to true villainy in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis''.
