* In one issue of ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'', the Hulk ends up in Tel Aviv and befriends an Arab boy. However, the boy is killed by Arab terrorists and the Hulk attacks them. When Sabra (making her first appearance) arrives, she mistakes the Hulk for one of the terrorists and attacks, ultimately leading to the Green Goliath [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech yelling at Sabra]] for the whole thing, where she completely ignored the body of a young boy just because of who he was.

** Played with and zig-zagged; the main protagonist Huey Freeman is a 10-year-old [[MalcolmXerox radical left-wing black nationalist]] who tends to spout a lot of revolutionary socialist rhetoric. As a result, the US federal government has placed him on a watchlist for suspected domestic terrorists. While Huey isn't exactly a nonviolent activist, as he's done a fair amount of shady illegal actions throughout the series -- such as carrying various melee weapons around, making an aborted rescue plan to jailbreak a wrongfully-convicted death row inmate out of the state prison, and even making chemical explosives for an aborted assassination plot against [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Ed Wuncler II]][[note]](though [[ItsPersonal Huey's motives for this act were completely personal instead of political]], as Wuncler is an evil murderous LoanShark who had trapped the Freeman family under debt slavery)[[/note]] -- [[RevolutionariesWhoDontDoAnything he never really gets around to doing any real acts of militant political extremism]]. As far as the "terrorist" label goes, while [[AntiHero Huey]] is definitely ''not'' a ruthless bad guy who wants to hurt innocent people, [[WellIntentionedExtremist he does believe in the use of violence to advance a noble cause]].
