13!!Other Comics
14* Jack Mackenzie from ''ComicBook/TheAdventuresOfAeroGirl'' filled this role as Battle Jack in training his daughter in superheroism... until he died, anyway.
15* Gary Hampton in ''ComicBook/TheAstoundingWolfMan'' because he's in a fact a werewolf. Anyone who attempts to harm his daughter is too dumb to live.
16* Bigby's father North Wind in ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}''.
17* Thabian Polotsk from ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' IS this trope: a super-strong werewolf gentle giant with two young children he would (and almost did) die for.
18** Adversely, Brendan, another werewolf, disdains his children to the point of homicidal hatred.
19* Marv from ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is like this to the girls at Kadie's Bar, especially Nancy. Granted, it's due to his enormous chivalry, but given his age and the ages of most of the dancers, I say it counts. He mentions one moment when a frat boy roughed up Nancy, which angers him as he doesn't believe in hitting women, and he "straightened him out but good," mentioning that he maybe went a little too far (implying that the other guy didn't survive). There's also the short yarn "Silent Night," where Marv [[spoiler:hears about a mother asking after her missing daughter, then hunts down and kills her abductors (who had been planning to sell the poor girl for sex) and [[PetTheDog cradles the terrified child in his arms]] in a rare tender moment before taking her home]].
20** The corrupt police commissioner Liebowitz turns against the Wallenquist crime organization in "Hell and Back" after his [[TheDragon Dragon]] The Colonel orders the assassin Mariah to break Liebowitz's son's arm to remind Liebowitz of the organization's power over him. Liebowitz responds by organizing a police raid on the organization's human trafficking operations. Then he personally blows The Colonel's brains out and orders his officers to "make a missing person out of the fucker."
21* In ''{{ComicBook/Violine}}'', her father Francois certainly qualifies as this, traveling Africa for years in search of her mother.
22* Rick Grimes in ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' will do almost anything to protect his son Carl.
23** When a couple of bandits attack them on the highway, [[spoiler: one of them attempts to rape Carl while another restrains Rick. Rick ''RIPS THE BANDIT'S THROAT OUT WITH HIS TEETH'' and proceeds to mercilessly stab the other to death.]]
24* Praxton, Kenton's father, in ''ComicBook/WhiteSand''. Not only is he the Lord Mastrell of the only sorcerous order on the planet, he also proves himself to be a veritable OneManArmy when Kerztians attack, ending the battle single-handedly.
