* In ''Webcomic/MyDaughterIsAZombie'', Jeonghwan puts his zombie daughter Su-ah above all else, even though the law requires him to kill her. He's technically her adoptive father, but they ''are'' blood-related. He would risk a second wave of the zombie apocalypse at her hands, [[spoiler:kill her deadbeat biological father to stop him from abducting her, defy military orders to surrender once their cover is blown, and have Su-ah bite him so they can die together, though Su-ah is spared. The public scrutinizes Jeonghwan's reckless and selfish actions, but the negative sentiment fades when a zombie cure is developed thanks to his sacrifice]].

* In one strip of ''[[https://waitingforthet.tumblr.com/post/669995879770603520/this-comic-is-as-is-usual-for-wednesdays-comics Waiting for the Trade]]'' which pokes fun at an actual Silver Age ''ComicBook/XMen'' storyline, "Magneto" attempts to invoke this trope in its "HonorThyParent" form to compel the loyalty of Lorna Dane. It doesn't work, but Iceman is quite sure that it was going to.
-->'''Iceman:''' Lorna, wait! That's not actually your father! It's a robot built by Factor Three! Also, Magneto might not actually be your dad, maybe? Anyway, you don't have to kill us.\\
'''Lorna:''' I wasn't going to.\\
'''Iceman:''' Yeah, now that you know he's a robot and not your real fake dad.
