* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': The "Seppuku" skill does exactly what you think it does, it causes you to stab yourself. You inflict blood loss on yourself in exchange for a boost to your physical damage and increased blood loss buildup on your attacks. This also procs the "Lord of Blood's Exulatation" talisman and the buff from the White Mask, basically turning you into a nuclear bomb for 60 seconds.

* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' explicitly gets more powerful the angrier he gets, and if any of his foes hits him hard enough for Hulk to ''feel'' it he's only going to get angrier, and thus both stronger and harder to hurt. Protracted fights with the Hulk are ''never'' a good idea because of this, especially because he's never displayed an upper limit. Granted, pain isn't the only thing that can trigger this, but it's the most reliable method.
