** A Nullabist knife will melt down whomever is stabbed by it and reduce them to dust within half and hour. [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130503 Martellus chucks one into Tarvek's chest when Tarvek tries to stop him from kidnapping Agatha]] and Tarvek is only saved because the [[TimeStandsStill Take-Five bomb]] is set off near simultaneously to his getting hit.

* ''WebComic/DarthsAndDroids'': Pete (playing as R2-D2) obtains the Lost Orb of Phanastacoria, which was powerful enough to fuel planet-destroying weapons, and attaches it to his personal shock probe. Then he looks forward to dealing damage that is literally rolled with dice counted in the millions. The one time he's about to get to use it, he's also preparing to actually simulate rolling that many individual dice, too, instead of taking an average or agreeing that the {{mooks}} will definitely die.

** Jack's way of dealing with the prison guard was a tad excessive. Stabbing him once or twice would be logical, but stabbing him [[KnifeNut seven times, each time with different knife]], bashing his face against the steel door 89 times (until it became boring), cutting off his head and sending it to the Queen of Prospit was definitely uncalled for.

** Actually subverted on one occasion, in which Schlock mocks two enemies for aiming anti-tank weapons at him. They tell him that they're not worried about a little overkill, to which Schlock responds, "Actually, I was worried that you might want to be pointing your anti-tank weapons at, say, [[RightBehindMe incoming tanks.]]" This ''wouldn't have been'' overkill for Schlock - shells from those cannons typically explode with jets of plasma and that's just barely enough to actually do him harm. The extremes it took to [[KilledOffForReal kill him]] involved a fall down a tunnel at non-atmospheric/vacuum terminal velocity, 1.8x Earth Gravity, near-0K temp, with several missiles and a grenade involved. Or, to put it another way, he found a way to throw a planet at his face. Thankfully, [[BodyBackupDrive Petey intervened]]
