10* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':
11** White Mage:
12*** She shows this after rebuilding a city and its inhabitants from destruction at various hands (although mostly Black Mage) only to have the city yet again annihilated at the hands of, apparently, Black Mage. Feeling distressed and angered (also mostly due to Black Mage, although Fighter had an unwitting hand in it), she changes her robes and begins bestowing her mediocre evil upon the world for a couple comics until changing back after a strange talk with Fighter.
13*** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/05/22/e3-05-dream-analysis/ One guest strip]] had Black Mage push her over the edge with one too many pickup lines, whereupon she began chasing him with a chainsaw.
14** Fighter, the nicest, friendliest, [[TheDitz ditziest]] character in the comic who will go berserk whenever his friends, especially Black Mage, are threatened.
15*** He went into an UnstoppableRage when Black Mage was killed, fought a ''fire demon'' to a standstill after she [[spoiler:killed Black Belt]], and [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/12/11/episode-930-turnabout/ this comic]].
16---->'''Fighter''': Also, I can block any attack and kill '''anything''' that bleeds. '''Hint'''.
17*** Thief and Red Mage better watch themselves... they [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/06/28/episode-1010-nightmare-fuel/ almost made that mistake again]].
18---->'''Thief''': Yes, it is a good thing. Leaving him to rot would be wrong.\
19'''Red Mage''': So very wrong.\
20'''Fighter''' (holding up a sword): Kind of '''chainsaw''' wrong.\
21'''Thief''': Okay, good thing we're all on the same page then!
22** While he is in no way [[{{Jerkass}} a nice one]], a case can be made for [[spoiler: Sarda]] given that [[spoiler: he used to be the Onion Kid whose life Black Mage repeatedly ruined and seeks revenge against the Light Warriors for doing nothing to stop Black Mage.]]
23%%* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p70 This strip]] from ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' plays this straight.
24* Played straight in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfGyro'', the Disney comic parody. In the story, Gyro Gearloose -- the nicest person in Duckburg snaps for no reason, starts kidnapping children, destroys characters' property, burns down Scrooge's Money Bin, kills Magica De Spell by burning her alive, and tries to butcher a few more characters. Since Gyro is usually the most pleasant character nobody even suspects him of making such terrible things...
25* ''Webcomic/{{Aisopos}}'': Daross is clearly a NiceGuy and rarely gets into a fight, except when asked for (like when his teacher asked him to bring Aesop back through threatenings). However, when confronted and in danger, he knows how to fight and defend himself.
26* Alice of ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'' is generally the nicest person around, but when she gets angry, she flares up and her SuperpoweredEvilSide starts to emerge.
27* ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError'': Litasha is a MisplacedKindergartenTeacher and seems pretty harmless, but her idea of reassuring her students that everything is all right after an attack is to tell them [[spoiler:that the school faculty are going to [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner extrajudicially execute the soldier responsible]]]], all while [[DissonantSerenity maintaining her usual demeanor]]. Luntsha is appropriately horrified.
28* In ''Webcomic/AvasDemon'', Wraitha restores Ava to life and argues that [[http://www.avasdemon.com/pages.php?page=0268 this was the new life she bargained for since she didn't ask for "different"]]. [[http://www.avasdemon.com/pages.php?page=0277 Ava disagrees.]]
29* Do not try to get uppity with Charles the counselor at ''Webcomic/CampCalomine'' because [[http://www.rhjunior.com/CC/00024.html he'll rip the pay-phone off a utility pole while doing his best impression of the evil Father]] from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''.
30* Tony of ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' is one of the nicest and definitely the most laid-back of those living in the cabin and its subterranean chambers, opposed to killing humans and sentient monsters without the mental instability Zeno projects. This does not mean it's a good idea to nail him down with ColdIron, steal his [[HatOfPower tarnkappe]] and go after his friends even if the attack should leave Tony powerless. As a matter of fact, Tony implies that just being pinned with ColdIron was enough to put him in a murderous state of mind.
31* Max of ''Webcomic/CodeNameHunter'' fills this trope pretty well. Sure that he is responsible and mild-mannered (and [[SociallyAwkwardHero a little shy]]), but just don't you forget that Max has years of training in swordfight and experience in beating up warlocks and magical creatures. So, if you leave him no choice but fight (or pushing him too far), Max will kick your ass very painfully.
32* [[TheAce Ace]] from ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'' is pretty much the epitome of a NiceGuy...until you lay a finger on [[NumberTwo Freeda]], [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/09/05/double-take/ as one brainwashed goon learns the hard way]]. Even just hearing a [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/07/17/mouse-plays-mole/ completely innocent conversation]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/07/24/fruit-its-yummy-and-not-bad/ out of context]] was enough to make him [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/09/04/wardrobe-misplacement/ ruin Mittens' day]].
33* Out of ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' "Four Players" side story, Player Three, the yellow one, is the one to be careful of. Sure, he starts out as the ButtMonkey of the other three players, each more sadistic than the next, but has been known to ''snap'' while put under extreme duress. Player Two fell victim to this, as Three grabbed him and slammed him against the wall until he ragdolled all while shouting, ''"STOP IT<"''. He then came to and tried to apologize for what he has just done.
34* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'':
35%%** It's [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_293.php Mab]].
36** Dan. While normally a nice guy with a vague career of adventuring behind him, [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_971.php some events]] [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_972.php have]] [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_973.php shown]] just how [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_974.php dangerous]] he really is after being pushed over the edge. It's [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_981.php not pretty]].
37** It's not as explicit now that element of her character seems to have been [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness phased out]], but Lorenda Soulstealer used to eat people who annoyed her, and she still acts enough like a demon to terrorize a group of paparazzi into leaving Jyrras alone even after he gets declared "This Year's Most Eligible Bachelor". Otherwise, though, she's a cheery, good-natured cow whose [[FatAndProud not offended in the slightest by comments on her chubbiness]].
38* People in the ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' world get so hung up on Luna's emotional problems that they always forget that she is a [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2007-03-28 master of Black Magic.]]
39* In ''Webcomic/DoubleK'' (a ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' fan comic), Simon is a sweet little kid who doesn't know what to do without Kamina giving him instructions. Unless you threaten Nia.
40-->'''Simon:''' ''(talking to Kamina)'' I-I guess I just forgot how freaked out I was. I mean, I saw poor Nia out there, she was just scared out of her wits, bro, and-and then the suspect started moving in on her, all with that creepy look on his face, and then-then-[[http://doublek.thewebcomic.com/comics/1373093/chapter-4-095/ I dunno, bro, I just-I just knew I had to do something]].
41* Just about every one of ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'' qualifies for this. Goofball wizard Sarin has a dark criminal past and has immense transformational powers when pressed. Kili the sweet and sensitive shaman can transform into a snarling werewolf due to her recent contraction of lycanthropy. Even their mostly-quiet leader Mori, a [[{{Magitek}} magical scientist]], has combat options, and has invented a magic beam that can [[TheNudifier blow your clothes and weapons away.]]
42* ''Webcomic/DriveDaveKellett'': Nosh is usually a happy, BigEater OmnidisciplinaryScientist. But if you're a [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Tesskan]], and you disrespect his captain (or presumably anyone he considers a friend), he will {{curb|StompBattle}}stomp you and nineteen of your buddies.
43* Faen from ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}''. She's a rather shy, sensitive girl, who also happens to be a powerful [[TheEmpath Empath]] with less than perfect control over her powers. Strong fear/anger cause PowerIncontinence and since she's a projective Empath, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=268 people]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=472 get hurt]].
44* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
45** Grace, a super cute pacifist who just [[InnocentFanserviceGirl wishes people were less uptight about nudity.]] You can tie her up, torture her, even tell her you are going to use her for a ''breeding'' program. Make her believe you have hurt one of her friends though and there is [[SuperSoldier no power on Earth or beyond that can save you]]. In the author's own words:
46--->'''Dan Shive''': There is nothing more dangerous in any universe being written by me than a nice character who's been [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=530/ pushed over the edge.]] And Grace is really, REALLY nice.
47** To not quite as potent an extent, Elliot. He's extremely nice and by default helpful. Of course, mocking Tedd or any of his friends changes things.
48** And now, we learn, Noah. Not only do his [[ViewerGenderConfusion girly looks]] hide inhuman strength and speed, but his [[SpockSpeak particular speech patterns]] are a deliberate focusing mechanism to keep control of an otherwise short temper.
49* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': You can count the number of genuine [[NiceGuy Nice Guys and Girls]] among the main cast on one hand, like Hashim, Tanya, and Sarah. Of course, even they have their moments where they reveal a more nastier and/or violent side to them, mostly in response to either their loved ones getting hurt or if someone is ''especially'' annoying.
50** Hashim did not hesitate kicking {{A|xCrazy}}sher's [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/173 butt out the door when he threatened Izzy]], even taking a slash to the face. He did not take too kindly when a random woman mistook his girlfriend Sarah for his little sister, [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/483 harshly telling her off]] when it also insulted Sarah. A more hilarious example is when he ''burned down a magazine stand'' because he was disturbed by the sex tips Sarah was reading from a magazine.
51** Tanya's moments are relatively rarer, but no less noticeable; [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/616 After receiving her own cafe]], she once pulled out a shotgun Izzy gave her when she was dealing with an ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife. She [[ManBitesMan bit Flamingo Joe's hand]] and [[GroinAttack kicked him in the nuts]] [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/985 in response to him bragging about Izzy being in Captain Orca's clutches and then threatening to vivisect her]]. She also becomes [[TranquilFury subtly vicious]] [[BerserkButton whenever someone dares calls her "normal"]].
52---> '''Narrator:''' [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1307 Favorite book]]?\
53[{{Beat}}]\
54'''Tanya:''' Literature/HarryPotter, I guess.\
55'''Narrator:''' How normal.\
56'''Tanya:''' (''still smiling'') I'm gonna make Izzy throw you in the Pit.
57** Sarah also has moments where she sheds her usual bright demeanor, but usually when [[{{Jerkass}} Sybil]] is involved; she snatches her cell phone away from her and made it "disappear" after Sybil rudely brushes her off in "Presto" and even [[WrestlerInAllOfUs put her in a chokehold]] in "[[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1339 Environment]]" after she reaches her RageBreakingPoint due to her [[PokeThePoodle intentionally]] messing up her PSA about recycling. She's also ''really'' not nice about using sex to handle her period in "Cramps."
58---> '''Sarah:''' I need an inside massage RIGHT NOW!\
59'''Hashim:''' What-\
60'''Sarah:''' ''PANTS OFF, MEAT DILDO!''
61** Max Pritchard's girlfriend [[ShrinkingViolet Calixta]] never really had moments like these in Part 1, but her more violent, nastier side becomes a lot more prominent in Part 2:
62*** During the "Spagheddon" arc, she ends up [[CoveredInGunge getting covered in spaghetti]] by the mysterious "spaghetti bandit". She becomes uncharacteristically ''enraged'' by this in "[[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1453 Tower Formation]]", complete with a NightmareFace and a VoiceOfTheLegion.
63----> '''Calixta:''' '''''I'MUNNA FUCKIN KILLEM.'''''
64*** Later on, upon walking in on Max talking with Callie about her crush on Basil, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend she locks the latter in a full nelson as she lunged at her boyfriend]] [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1477 after he made a snide remark]], once again using her Voice of the Legion with a combination of WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises and DullEyesOfUnhappiness this time.
65----> '''Calixta:''' '''''DON'T BE TOUCHIN' MOMMA'S LIL' BABY BOY,''''' '''''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH]].'''''
66*** In "[[https://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1500 Bro Code]]", Max reveals to Vanitas' {{Jerkass}} ex-girlfriend that he brought Calixta along during their confrontation, and [[TranquilFury she is]] [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer clearly in no mood to]] [[ImpliedDeathThreat just talk to her]].
67* Lemmy in ''Fanboys'' is a genuinely nice guy, but woe be unto anybody that says Nintendo is a kiddy system.
68** [[http://www.fanboys-online.com/index.php?id=62 ANGRY CLOWN MODE.]]
69** An impact to the head can do it. When running from a crazed feral crab in the BeachEpisode, he crashes headfirst into a sign, which triggers the aforementioned Angry Clown Mode, allowing him to handily demolish his tormentor.
70* Rikk, the leader of the Science Fiction Club in ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'', is as nice, gentle, and forgiving a man as you're ever likely to meet. However, during a storyline in ''Fans!'' which sees a bitter ex-boyfriend of Alisin's blackmail her into joining him, while simultaneously attempting to destroy the fan club and replace it with a [[DarkerAndEdgier new, darker version]] -- Rikk is finally pushed too far and beats the ex-boyfriend to a pulp before someone stops him from going too far.
71* Michelle of ''Webcomic/Forever16'' has this in the storyline where the school's AlphaBitch tries to break her and Joel apart. [[http://jbwarner86.deviantart.com/art/F16-Don-t-Make-Me-Angry-189875930 Do not make her angry.]] [[http://jbwarner86.deviantart.com/art/F16-Berserk-Button-189987259 You wouldn't like her when she's angry...]]
72* The ''Webcomic/{{Freakangels}}'' are, in the words of Alice, kind of crap when you get right down to it. All of them have psychokinetic powers and can do some serious damage all by themselves without lifting a finger. Out of the group, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Arkady]] is the most gentle (except possibly [[TheHeart Connor]]), and a FriendToAllLivingThings. But then [[{{Jerkass}} Luke]] tries to MindRape some poor girl, and Arkady hits him with a psychic BrownNote that ''flattens'' him.
73-->'''Arkady:''' [[BringMyBrownPants Do you know what that was Luke?]] That was exactly ''one second'' of my overdose experience when we were fifteen. If you ever do something like this again, I am going to give you ''five minutes'' of that.
74* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
75** Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is a genius who never even bothered to build a death ray, and who will put up with massive annoyance to avoid killing people he neither likes nor respects, but when an enemy army really gets in his way, he smashes it in about five seconds.
76*** What happens when he gets angry at someone? He [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060306 kicks serious ass]].
77*** He even stands up against an ex-[[SuperSoldier Jägermonster]] in [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080303 this]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080305 scene]].
78*** He [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071126 deals with]] an invasion force against Mechanicsburg while his father is in the hospital in that city. Alone, with a lightning gun.
79*** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090323 "If I let everyone I thought was an idiot die, there wouldn't be many people left."]]
80** Agatha starts out as a clueless student, then she starts [[TookALevelInBadass taking levels in badass]] as she realizes her sparkiness and gets fighting lessons from Zeetha. She is still generally a nice one, but you don't want to make her angry. [[spoiler: Killing her boyfriend]] is especially [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070117 not a good idea]]. She is ''definitely'' able to go [[TheDreaded Old Heterodyne]] on anyone stupid enough to set her off.
81** Higgs might seem like a [[TheStoic stoic]] who though MadeOfIron and perfectly capable of fighting does so calmly, is not exempt from this either after [[spoiler: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101020 Zeetha gets stabbed through the chest by Zola]]]].
82** Tarvek isn't exactly a "[[TheChessmaster nice one]]", given his ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, but the one and only time we ever saw him be violent, it was a staged fight that both parties got a little too into. [[spoiler: So ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110117 this]]'' got quite the "Holy shit!" reaction from the fandom.]]
83** In the backstory, Agatha's father and uncle Bill and Barry Heterodyne were renowned as Europa's greatest heroes, and were famous for allowing second chances to defeated villains. Agatha insists she's nowhere near as a good a person as they were. And yet, they apparently killed somebody within her father's ''first 2 minutes'' as ruler of Mechanicsburg, since [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111130 Agatha set a record by not doing so after her own installation as the Heterodyne]]. Though given [[WretchedHive what Mechanicsburg was like before their takeover]], whoever they killed probably deserved it.
84* Sydney of ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' is generally agreed to be TheDitz with an occasional motormouth, but try to attack her or offend her in some way...
85** An off-screen incident in her backstory involved someone trying to mug her before she got the orbs that give her powers. Even the ARCHON members that have ''just met her'' aren't too surprised that the police report just says, "Oh, the humanity!"
86** She's used the orbs directly as a bludgeon, breaking one person's arm and giving another a GroinAttack.
87** In a sparing session, Sydney demonstrates that avoiding fighting would be simple, by jumping/flying out of the way, then dumping her opponent in the vacuum of space... without a space suit. (Since it's a ''sparring'' session, he's brought back, just to watch her showboat about the easy win. Can't catch a break.)
88* Big Ears in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' is a genuinely LawfulGood {{paladin}} who occasionally strays into HonorBeforeReason but avoids KnightTemplar and LawfulStupid. Oh, and he doesn't like it when you [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/10122009/ throw rocks at his catatonic friend]].
89* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has many examples:
90** Gamzee Makara, generally the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} of the trolls, [[spoiler: later [[AxCrazy outright snapped]] and turned into a [[MonsterClown psychopath]].]]
91** Don't make [[spoiler: Kanaya]] angry. [[spoiler: She will come back from the dead, turn into a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent rainbow-drinker]], and kick you [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3525 OFF A CLIFF.]] Or clock you in the jaw. Or, if you were the one who killed her, chainsaw you in half.]]
92** Dad Egbert goes from constantly baking desserts and writing letters of praise to his son to beating his way out of a prison on Derse and fighting huge monsters without batting an eye when he gets involved in the game. And as [[spoiler: the only naturally-born human in the cast]], he's also a true BadassNormal in a series where ''nothing'' is normal.
93** John totally fails to invoke this trope. Behold John [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/2667 getting angry]]:
94--->That is IT. EVERYBODY OUT. You are DEAD SERIOUS.
95*** Later on, [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/5335 however]]...
96*** Really, any time his friends are in danger or he finds someone worthy of revenge, he will flip shit and give you what you deserve.
97** Then there's Jade, a near-perpetually chipper CloudCuckoolander, who [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan smacked the crap]] out of her RealityWarper sprite when it was too {{Wangst}}y to be any help.
98** Feferi Peixes is a cute, pink-themed princess who likes to take care of her many pets. She is also strong enough to pull whales through the ocean and acts as a diplomat between trolls and EldritchAbomination'[=s=].
99* ''Webcomic/{{Hooky}}'': Dani and Dorian are sweet kids but don’t hurt their loved ones. Dorian seriously contemplates [[spoiler: black magic]] when he sees [[spoiler: Dani about to be burned at the stake]]. Dani goes on a short RoaringRampageOfRevenge when [[spoiler: Alex is stabbed]].
100* Subverted in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob.'' Bob is usually remarkably effective at getting things done and defeating enemies, and he hardly ever throws a punch; but it turns out that, idealism aside, part of the reason he isn't a fighter is that [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/502 he isn't very good at it.]] [[BerserkButton (Galatea, on the other hand...)]]
101* ''Webcomic/JoeVsElanSchool'': As Joe comes to find out, any students or staff acting "nice" and offering to help Joe escape are ''immediately'' suspect.
102* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'':
103** Calvin/Freckle. Shy, scared, and gullible, but put him in a life-or-death situation and [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=49 give him a gun]]...
104** And Ivy too, [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=84 as Rocky soon found out]].
105* ''Webcomic/LoreOlympus'':
106** How Hades handles getting payback at the photographer who caught him and Persephone is not unlike something out of a Mafia movie abduction and interrogation scene.
107** When another photographer attempts to know more about her and Hades' relationship, Persephone's eyes start turning red and she wears [[TheUnsmile a rather forced-looking grin]] as she grips the photographer's arm to the point of starting to hurt him.
108** When Apollo starts accusing Persephone, Eros, [[CampStraight all-around cheerful and campy guy]], immediately starts peppering him with arrows and, when he still doesn't get the hint, vows to utterly ruin whatever chance at love he might ever have if he doesn't back off. If Greek mythology is anything to go with, [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower he is not bluffing.]]
109** The normally sweet Persephone and her darker impulses. [[spoiler:Particularly, her Act of Wrath, which resulted in her going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and murdering a ton of people over the deaths of her friends.]]
110* ''Webcomic/MagicAndPhysics'' has SPDA who seems like a genuinely nice person (being maybe the only one in the strip), but all hints about his back story suggest something that could have easily cost lots of lives.
111* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'':
112** Piro is an example, as a group of perverted otaku voyeurs in a restaurant found out. This is more obvious in Piro's online alter-ego ''Piroko'', and associated wallpapers/[[http://www.megagear.com/product_p/1010.htm tshirt]] with a cute girl carrying a big gun, and the phrase "[=Ph34r=] t3h cute ones".
113** Ping is normally sweet, cute, and caring, but get her angry and she proves to have the strength to uproot a street lamp and use it to beat a [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster]] into submission. "[[http://megatokyo.com/strip/376 That was very rude,]] [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/378 Mr. Turtle!]]"
114* ''Webcomic/MSPaintMasterpieces'': ''[[BondOneLiner "Don't threaten Dr. Light!!"]]'' Bears noting that that is one of ''many'' instances. Mega Man is the nicest guy you could meet, but if you threaten ''any'' innocent people, or worse, actually kill people, he will '''fuck you up'''.
115* Guy from ''Webcomic/MushroomGo''. Guy is a literal [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 shy guy]] that never speaks, happily dedicated to his work as the crew's nurse, cook, and housekeeper. Though afraid of hurting other people, he's proven himself a decent fighter -- with [[CombatMedic scalpels]] and {{chainsaw|Good}}s.
116* ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'': Agent 300 is a suave, gentlemanly, laid-back AgentPeacock who, while not a paragon of morality, is still one of the nicer characters in the comic, especially compared to the title character. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge He will rain swift and terrible retribution]] on anyone who dares to [[spoiler: try and murder [[ClosetKey Agent 250]]]].
117* Piffany from ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' is so full of diabetes-inducingly sweet virtue that ''it gives her RealityWarper powers'', in addition to D&D cleric spells. It's very rare that she gets angry, but when she does, she's easily the most powerful character in the comic. And that's not counting that one storyline where she got holy PoweredArmor...
118* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
119** Elan is mostly naive, sweet-natured but [[TheDitz ditzy]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. Elan in strip [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0594.html #594]], after SmugSnake Kubota poisons his lackey Therkla (who was in the midst of a HeelFaceTurn) and she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dies in Elan's arms]]; UnstoppableRage-driven badass. It's only Kubota's swift-but-slimy opportunism that prevents him from getting a severely lethal ass-kicking at Elan's hands, [[spoiler: and even then he still gets reduced to dust by V]].
120** Though [[MinionWithAnFInEvil the Monster in the Dark]] has not yet gone past the breaking point, strip [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0475.html #475]] suggests that making the monster actually angry is an idea so stupid that it borders on TooDumbToLive.
121* ''Webcomic/TheOswaldChronicles'' has the eponymous Oswald, a mild-mannered and polite gentlemouse. He prefers to talk things out instead of resorting to violence. Hurt his friends, however, [[http://www.theoswaldchronicles.com/?webcomic_post=0044-lettered and...]]
122* Julie, from ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' when [[spoiler: an armored Minotaur kills Pauline, a member of her [[TrueCompanions Nakama]]]]. Her bubbly, happy personality vanishes and is replaced by something violent and scary, complete with CreepyMonotone and HiddenEyes. On the next page, we see her [[RoyalRapier rapier]] embedded in the Minotaur's skull.
123* ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'': cute, sweet [[FriendToAllChildren Daryl Smithson]] knows how to [[HiddenDepths wrestle]] [[note]]which she learned from [[MundaneMadeAwesome a stubborn goat]] on her grandparents' farm[[/note]] and [[TheDitz Larima]] [[GenkiGirl Torbern]] is ''scary'' when she's pushed over the edge, complete with a bone-chilling [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV03CH01n202.html death]] [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n108.html glare]].
124* Max from ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}'' is one of the few kids that isn't psychopathic in some way, but he was able to [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2014/05/14 sink the Buddleship]] using only an unseen piece of junk and the ability to swim.
125* [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1108 Surprisingly]], Hannelore, ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'''s resident [[TheWoobie Woobie]]. Not to mention her [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1171 dreams]].
126* ''Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}}'' has quite a lot of this with Sigrun and Ingrid- and to a lesser extent, Thor. All of them are friendly and amiable, but when angered, they go full berserker.
127* ''Webcomic/RomanticallyApocalyptic'': Snippy is fairly nice if caustic and cynical, but he gets downright vicious whenever someone tries to kill him and his friends. He nearly murders Bell in a fit of rage for seemingly killing [[spoiler:Pilot]] and he makes sure to leave La Macabre in an AndIMustScream situation for trying to murder him.
128* Sam has a moment of this when blackmailing a ninja in this [[http://samandfuzzy.com/963 this]] ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' strip.
129* Don't make the cute Sandra from ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' your enemy. When Woo is replaced by Tom the Talking Toast, she first [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/26/0345-the-contender-iii/ eats him]] and then makes the "Hand of God" an [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/30/0346-the-contender-iv/ offer it cannot refuse]]. She also [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/30/0081-8-mile-road/ sent Tanya Dean's family to a bad neighborhood in Detroid]].
130* ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'':
131** Iceland. [[http://satwcomic.com/babysitter This explains it all.]]
132** As well as Åland, Sweden's boyfriend. Friendly, gentle, metrosexual... until Russia tries to invade and Åland lets loose all hell on Russia, hunting him down and even shooting out Russia's white flag of surrender. The comic being what it is, this is fully based on historical events.
133* The Coffee Shop Lady from ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' is the nicest, sweetest granny archetype you could imagine, dispensing kindness, coffee, and donuts to all, even distraught Devil Girls but [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-09-09 don't try to push her around]]. Also counts of course as a case of NeverMessWithGranny.
134* Kieri [[TheUnpronounceable Suizahn]], an angel from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', is usually very [[ShrinkingViolet shy and soft-spoken.]] A history of being abused by her parents and peers does make her rather sensitive to [[http://www.sdamned.com/2012/12/12152012/ bullying]], even from other angels. [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]] [[http://www.sdamned.com/2013/01/01052013/ here.]]
135* In Bun-Bun's continuing feud with Santa Claus in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', Mrs. Claus is the one pushing for the two of them to just let it go, but she's also the more dangerous Claus when she has to be. Bun-Bun [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=991226 acknowledges her as a better shot than Santa]], and it's her who [[spoiler: stops Bun-Bun from [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]]]].
136* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'':
137** Tuuri is usually TheCutie, but mention [[WeightWoe her weight]] and she'll make you pay, even if you are a child. She also gets a manipulative younger sibling side identified by Mikkel when she directs it towards him.
138** Pastor Anne is a ghost [[note]]who is actually [[spoiler: a still-living, ''massive'' troll]] [[/note]] who has managed to not only maintain her sanity in the face of TheCorruption but created a safe haven in the Dead World that exists in both the spiritual and physical worlds through sheer force of will alone, something which the mages of the setting consider to be the magical equivalent of eating the moon. She reacts to having her corner of the spirit realm invaded by Onni and Reynir (something most mages consider a supremely hostile act) by conjuring coffee and cake. [[spoiler: She also manages to take down [[ArcVillain Sleipnope]] with a simple three-word ArmorPiercingQuestion.]]
139* ''Webcomic/SuitorArmor:'' Lucia is protected by (and developing feelings for) Modeus, a suit of AnimatedArmor. He's normally a GentleGiant but turns ''very'' dangerous if she's threatened.
140* ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'':
141** Quentyn gets his sword stolen, and in the course of retrieving it gets arrested multiple times, mugged, shot at, dropped through a roof, stripped naked in front of a crowd of toffs (and his childhood crush), and then violently beaten and tossed in a dumpster. He promptly girds up his loins and proceeds to utterly wreck not one, but TWO street gangs singlehandedly and literally pull an entire building down around their ears... and would have REALLY torn them a new one had the city guard not intervened.
142** The Raccoonan nation topped that in the companion strip, ''Webcomic/QuentynQuinnSpaceRanger''. In there, the horrific cannibal species, the Kvrk-Chk, made a public show of what they would do the Raccoonan race when they ate a number of them on camera, The Raccoonans retaliated the next day by [[spoiler:destroying one of the heavier populated Kvrk-Chk solar systems and gave the race a very good reason to fear the Raccoonan people.]]
143* Liza from ''Tonja Steele'' is a good [[http://tonjasteele.comicgenesis.com/d/20031230.html example]], as she's usually a sweet-natured schoolteacher. Some of it is explained when we meet her [[http://tonjasteele.comicgenesis.com/comics/ts20040120a.jpg parents]].
144* Lero-Ro and Knag Horyang from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. One is always sublimely cheerful, righteous and nice, he is Ranker and therefore one of the most dangerous people of the Tower and sometimes demonstrates that. The other is a soft-spoken man of [[BewareTheQuietOnes little words]], but he too is incredibly righteous, and while he wishes wrongdoers the best of luck to survive him, he doesn't hold back.
145* ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'':
146** Raine Silverlock. She is undoubtedly one of the nicest, most heartwarming people in the entire cast. She is an IronWoobie owing to her childhood, and her [[spoiler:Keidran-Human shapeshifting]] causing complications between her friends and family. She's also one of the few humans [[spoiler:(At least most of the time)]] who tries to act decent towards the anthropomorphic Keidran of the setting, and is, by her own admission, a little naive (continuing the series tradition of sparing someone who's just tried to kill you, in this case, [[spoiler: Zen)]], though not to an extreme degree. She is also the daughter of the former Grand Templar (the head of the order of mages in the comic's setting) and an extremely powerful [[spoiler:shapeshifting Keidran Mage (who is responsible for her own shapeshifting ability)]]. If her friends are in danger or harmed, God help you. Because she will SNAP. Case in point: After [[spoiler: Carver seemingly killed]] the group's [[spoiler:squirrel companion Mrs Nibbly]], having threatened their lives beforehand, she undergoes a magic surge that she uses to [[spoiler: PUSH the teleporting mage hundreds of kilometres away, to the BASITIN ISLANDS.]]
147--->'''Red-headed Guy:''' Jeez, you straight-up Disintegrated that guy! That was Awesome!\
148'''Raine:''' ''Ow''...I didn't ''disintegrate'' him! Urgh...I couldn't stop him teleporting, so instead I gave him a little push...with all my magic. I don't think he's going to end up where he intended.\
149'''Red-headed Guy:''' So where is he going to end up?\
150'''Raine:''' Somewhere a lot further than ''ten metres'' this time.
151** Main character Trace Legacy is an AmnesiacHero and incredibly friendly and kind. He spends most of his time helping others and is unfailingly trusting and self-sacrificing. He also has ''two'' [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Super-Powered Evil Sides]] and is implied to be the second strongest magic user in the setting. Don't hurt [[OneTrueLove Flora]]. It doesn't matter if he can't see it. It doesn't matter if he's been drugged into unconsciousness. He will know. And he will be... displeased.
152--->'''Dark!Trace (covered in blood):''' Which one of you is hurting Flora? No matter... I'll just kill ''all'' of you and sort it out later.
153* ''Webcomic/UnOrdinary'': John is one of the more polite, mild-mannered characters, but he can hold his own in a fight pretty well despite having no abilities and has a surprisingly nasty temper when provoked enough. [[spoiler:This is because he's hiding his true personality and history out of a combination of self-hatred, fear of the Authorities, and PTSD, he's got a huge violent streak and a very powerful ability, he's basing his personality on his father who actually is a powerless "cripple".]]
154* Isaac of ''Webcomic/ValAndIsaac'' is a friendly dude who likes crochet and is rarely violent. When Space Dread inspires him to start trying in a wizardball game, though, he ''takes apart'' the opposing team by doing things like tricking their captain into shaking hands with a fear goblin.
155* In retrospect, this covers Mirth from ''Webcomic/VoodooWalrus'' as her first appearance involves her [[http://voodoowalrus.com/?p=155 erupting from the belly of a Hobo Jesus]] and then [[http://voodoowalrus.com/?p=163 summoning a flock of fingerbats]] to murder his hobo zombie followers.
156* Nice people in the ''Webcomic/{{Walkyverse}}'' usually get this. Joyce is a prime example. So is Walky himself, for that matter. Not to mention Amber... this list could go on for a bit.
157-->'''Joyce''': "This is for the thousands of little comments that are hammered into me every day! "Stop giggling, Joyce!" "Put down your dumb toys, Joyce!" You can only take so much... Until you ''snap''."
158* Jake from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' is presented as the TokenGoodTeammate for the Yeongdeungpo Union, being a kind, loyal, and pacifistic boy with few of the negative traits associated with his fellow heads. However, when his brother is crippled by the Manwol Gang, Jake becomes hellbent on revenge. When he gets up to their leader, he tells him with a demonic-looking face that he'll never be heard from again.
159* Plant Woman from ''Webcomic/InWilysDefense''. It's one thing if you've only built *two* machines of death and destruction. The first law of robotics is thrown out the window completely when you announce the third.
160* Ashton in ''Webcomic/WintersInLavelle'' spends half of the comic looking like a [[TheWoobie scared, lost puppy]]. However, when people start threatening him (or Kari), he manages to fight a random Gard, Xan, and [[spoiler:Prince Edric]].
