Death Glare / Fan Works

Archie Comics

• Maybe the Last Archie Story: Archie shoots an absolutely venomous glare at Cheryl Blossom when she refers to Betty and Veronica as "bimboes".

Back to the Future

• Homecoming: Doc glares Biff into submission after the latter protests his punching Needles.

Calvin and Hobbes

• Lampshaded by the Lemony Narrator in Calvin & Hobbes: The Series:
  My goodness, that face Miss Wormwood had would've made trees burst into flame.
  • Calvin gives one much later in "Nocturnals" that "would've chilled a six-pack."

Crossover

• To Belong: Suspicious of Charming's motives, Anya gives him a glare and tells him "You hurt my brothers... and you are dead".
• Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness (Megas XLR & Touhou Project): Reimu gives Coop one of these after he accidentally infuriates Yuuka. He's too distracted by the flower-loving youkai to notice, though.
• In Flight (Fate/stay night & Sekirei): In canon, Miya have such a powerful death glare it creates illusions of hanyas. 'This fic uses this for humor, with Shirou trying to learn (and eventually being succesful) her technique. Wordof God says it can leave a Dead Apostle terrified.
• In Manehattan's Lone Guardian, Hazelnut Mocha shoots Leviathan one of these when they briefly cross paths for the first time, something that the latter is taken back by due to the sheer amount of hatred she sees.
• My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator: This is the common default manner of the Slayer if he's not confused, or bewildered, or lost. When his eyes are glowing red, it means he wants you dead.
  • When Miruko sees the Slayer's eyes glowing red while staring daggers at the shocked Curator and the Volcano Thieves, she knows they're in for a world of pain.
  • Wolfram sees into the Slayer's eyes and almost shits himself after critically injuring Miruko. The Slayer proceeds to butcher Wolfram gruesomely.
• Not the intended use (Zantetsuken Reverse): Soma notes that most people don't really have good glares, and keeps a ranking of which of his friends have the best ones.
  • Number 1 is Leon because it is really out of character for him (normally he's the definition of a Nice Guy) and has the knowledge and experience to back it up.
  • Number 2 is Arikado, also due to knowledge and experience.
  • Number 3 is Naoki because it instills Primal Fear in Soma and reminds him of Death.
  • Number 4 is Kazuya because he looks like he knows everything you're thinking.
  • After that list we're not given the ranks of other people, but Soma thinks that Tatsuya's glare can "pierce souls", and ranks Minato under Julius because he looks dead tired all the time - if he weren't he'd be under Kazuya.
• The Spectacular Spider-Man: Lost in Gotham: Whenever Peter gets one of these, he'll usually take a moment to compare it to Gwen Stacy's infamous Look. When he visits Gwen in her dream, she gives him one of these for revealing his identity/love for her right before disappearing. Peter has to admit that her Look is still worse than any glare he's gotten from any Bat or rogue.
• Spider-Ninja: Both Nick Fury and Master Splinter are good at giving these. According to Petra, Splinter's is scarier.
• Turnabout Storm (Ace Attorney & My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic): Shows up occasionally, most of the time directed at protagonist and professional Butt-Monkey Phoenix Wright. As for characters themselves, one of Sonata's main traits is using these.

The DCU

• In Power Girl fanfic A Force of Four, villainess Badra doesn't appreciate to be called a "one-shot wonder" by Wonder Woman.
  Badra stepped forward. Fire was in her eyes, and Fury was certain that her mother hadn't been wise in her choice of words.

Encanto

• In The Wrath of Avelina, Avelina gives a death stare to Mirabel while she is taken the recently-cursed Isabela home.

Fire Emblem

• Golden Threads Tie Us: Lucina shoots an incensed glare at Severa when the latter reacts with anger to Lucina worrying about her wounds.
  Severa bristled. Well, two could play at that game, and Severa had far more practice than Lucina at this routine. "If you're implying something about my fitness for battle, then come and say it right out, Miss Holier-than-Thou!"
  Lucina's face hardened, and she glared daggers at Severa's wound.

Fusion Fic

• Children of an Elder God (Cthulhu Mythos & Neon Genesis Evangelion): In chapter 4, when Asuka wraps her arm around Shinji and both walk away together, Rei hurls at her a jealous, angry glare could melt steel, combined with glowing red eyes.
  Rei was staring at Asuka, intensely, her face twisted in anger. Her fists were clenched, shaking slightly. It was hard to tell in the sunlight, but they thought they saw her blood red eyes glow brightly for a moment.
• Last Child of Krypton (The DCU & Neon Genesis Evangelion): In chapter 2 Kaji ensures Misato he regards Asuka as a daughter. Asuka shot a furious glare at him.
  Shinji didn't need fifteen kinds of vision to see the girl glare at the older man with a look so fierce it could cut glass.

Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire

• Three Badasses in Westeros:
  • After Sansa almost dies of alcohol poisoning because of Joffrey and the latter says it is Sansa's fault, Robert notes that, if glares could start fires, Audie Murphy's glare at Joffrey could have started a continent-wide inferno.
  • Simo Häyhä gets to practice his on Littlefinger - who is quite shaken by it.

Godzilla / King Kong / MonsterVerse

Hetalia: Axis Powers

• Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: Let's just say Germany and Japan gave each other a lot of death glares over the span of one night because of their shared feelings for Italy.

• Pride in Her Chest:
  • Lori gives Lynn a biting glare for walking into her room.
  • Lynn gives Lori a long glare for telling her not to pay attention to what boys think.
• What You Wish For: Discussed. Lori notes that Lola is usually either smiling or angrily glaring, so it's odd that she's wearing a concerned frown.

Luca

• The Story of Apollo, Daphne and Luca: An Italian Tragedy: Both Alberto and Vincenzo, due to have become rivals for Luca's affections, never hesitate to shoot one to each other whenever their paths cross.

Marvel Comics

• X-Men: The Early Years: Jean Grey has a lot of practice at glaring thanks to her teammates.
  Jean shot Hank a murderous look and shook her head in a manner that said 'don't do it.'

Miraculous Ladybug

• The One to Make It Stay:
  • Rose realizes that Lila really is much worse than she presents herself as when she witnesses her glaring at Ms. Mendeleiev after she refuses to play along with her attention-seeking behavior and calls her bluff, making clear she won't provide special accommodations without proof that she actually needs them.
  • When Alya runs across Marinette, Luka and Manon at the wax museum, she fixes her friend with a searing stare, annoyed at how Marinette's other plans got in the way of her Zany Scheme to hook her up with Adrien. Her glowering leaves Manon severely shaken.
  • While Chat Noir fixes Ladybug with a scathing look while blaming her for Chloe's akumatization — as well as all the OTHER problems they'd been having as partners due to his selfish and entitled behavior, it pales in comparison to the look he gives Viperion for defending her, due to his raging jealousy towards the newer hero.
    The glare Chat gave her moments ago has nothing on the look on his face now. She's so used to thinking Chat is either really laid-back or more recently, a bit pathetic, to the point that she wasn't sure if he was capable of genuine hatred. Now, she's had that misconception completely shattered and she almost winces from the sight of it.

My Little Pony

• Diaries of a Madman: Quite a common trend, particularly by the protagonist, Nav, who often does it when annoyed.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

• Advice and Trust:
  • In chapter 4, Asuka glares at Shinji after learning that he touched Rei's chest accidentally. Her glare was so heated that it could have set his clothes on fire.
    Asuka directed a stare at Shinji that should have set his shirt on fire.
  • Shortly after in that chapter Shinji, Asuka and Rei were leaving the school when they found several girls clustered at the gate, blocking the exit. One of them approached to Shinji and Asuka glared daggers at her.
  • In chapter 6 Asuka rescues Shinji from their female classmates. Afterwards Asuka and her classmates exchanged death glares:
    Asuka hung behind to give Tanaka and the other girls a death glare, which they returned.
  • In chapter 7 when Gendo fired them, Asuka -whose self-worth depended hugely on being a Pilot- almost collapsed on the spot. Shinji -who was used to get hurt by his father but could not stand when someone hurt Asuka- aimed at Gendo an incensed glare could melt titanium.
  He'd shot his father a look of burning hatred before slinging one of Asuka's arms over his shoulder and practically carrying her out of the room.
• A Crown of Stars:
  • Trying to hit on Asuka is not a good idea when Shinji is around. His deadly glare is alarmingly similar to his father's.
    It was still funny watching Shinji of all people imitate his father's dead-eye stare at the guys who tried to worm their way next to me. Who'd have thought Baka-Shinji could scare anyone?
  • Asuka's mastered the art of death-glaring. If she is glaring at you, you better run away as Touji found out.
• HERZ: Asuka deploys this –together with a menacing twitch from her eye and brow- when another woman stalks her husband.
• Higher Learning: Gendo gives Ritsuko a very subtle one after she betrays him and spills secrets to Maya.
  That small frown instilled more pure terror in her heart than she had ever known in her life.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide:
  • In chapter 9, Asuka glares heatedly at Ritsuko when the older woman introduces the newest pilot to Asuka and her teammates:
    Asuka glared frozen blue daggers at her. Had she thought she could get away with it, she would have slapped her.
  • In turn, Asuka gets one from Ritsuko after she decides to play more than a little too rough with Keiko during a training exercise. It is notable for making Asuka actually shut up for a moment, where Misato was unable to do the same.
• The One I Love Is...: During the first half of the story Asuka and Rei were very hostile to each other due to them being in love with the same boy. They constantly crossed heated, angry glares. Shinji was also recipient of many Asuka's incensed glares. An example of this happened in chapter 5:
  This was something I had not expected. I had not even chosen yet one of them and Rei was already assuming that I'd ask her to marry me... and with the way Asuka was glaring at me... I probably looked as white as a ghost.
• Rise of the Minisukas:
  • When Gendo first meets the Minisukas, Leader and Shiki "[glare] at him with the heat to rival the surface of the sun."
  • When Asuka points out she is too tiny to even use her console's controller, Shiki responds with "a death glare to end all death glares."
  • When Mana hints that she is after Shinji, Asuka's heated glare could fry an egg.
• Role-Playing (Evangelion): Asuka throws at Shinji a murderous glare when she finds him mocking her via roleplay.
  Raising his voice a few octaves, Shinji probably did the last thing in the world he should have. "Why are you so stupid? Stupid Shinji! Go get me some pie! I said, go make me some waffles, bitch!" he screeched, wagging his finger at the bird.
  Pen-Pen released one frazzled squawk, then bolted from the room as fast as he could.
  Shinji chuckled and turned around only to find Asuka standing in the doorway. The look of murder in her eyes was unmistakable. "Shinji. Prepare to die."

One Piece

• This Bites!:
  • Played for Laughs in Little Garden, when Cross (who wants to ride a T-rex) sends one at Sanji to keep him from attacking one of the dinosaurs... and then browbeats said dinosaur into obedience with the power of that glare.
  • In the Enies Lobby Arc, Jabra hammers on Luffy's Berserk Button because he figures it'll get him the fight of his life. What he gets is (1) a glare that Jabra compares as more terrifying than that of Vice Admiral Garp (incidentally, Luffy's grandfather), (2) the sense that he Didn't Think This Through and (3) the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of his life.
  • In the Strong World Arc, Shiki calls Nami his "property". The Straw Hat Pirates were not happy at all.
  • In the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, X Drake threatens the Straw Hats for getting the Supernovas to fight Admiral Kizaru, only to be met with a combined glare from the entire crew. X Drake quickly turns around and hauls ass to get away from them.

Resident Evil

• The Progenitor Chronicles: Rebecca Chambers gives a few of these. In one notable instance, she scares the daylights out of the MC:
  The MC: [Rebecca] turned to me, her arms folded, with an expression that I was certain could have made that Tyrant from last night flee for its life.

Sherlock Holmes

• Simple Gifts:
  • Watson shoots Holmes a nightmarish glare when the detective offers to help him sit up, which Holmes irritably attributes to his pride in self-sufficiency.
  • Holmes deals the the maid a scowl which sends her scuttling away when her giggling after she finds him and Watson huddled up together wakens him early in the morning.

Star Trek Online

• The Wrong Reflection: Eleya shuts up Dal Kanril by doing her best Drill Sergeant Nasty-style glare, "the look that says, I don’t give a flying phekk if you’re Shakaar Edon himself; as far as I’m concerned you’re just another brainless boot who can’t tell which end of a combat knife goes into the other guy." Dal Kanril automatically snaps to attention despite herself, and later mentions she felt like she was back in basic training.

Super Mario Bros.

  • In chapter 4 Shinji asks Kaji if he will come to Asuka's birthday party. Misato, who did NOT want him coming, hurls at him a flaming angry glare.
  • In chapter 5 Misato wants Shinji and Asuka going together to the Obon festival. Asuka tries to object… and Misato silences her with a glare:
    Misato (with a look in her eyes that could turn an entire fanatic army into a bunch of chickens):"There's no 'but.' That's an order!"
    Shinji and Asuka:"Yes, ma'am!"
    Misato:"Now, get out there and enjoy yourselves!"
    Shinji and Asuka:"Yes, ma'am! Right away, ma'am!"
• Evangelion 303:
  • In chapter 15, Asuka, a Tsundere, hurls at Mari a "Keep your filthy claws away from MY man!" scary glare
  • On the other hand, this example is humorous not at all.
• Fates Collide: Bazett Fraga McRemitz and Medb give these to each other and to Glynda Goodwitch due to their jealousy over Cu Chulainn. Bazett's glare manages to terrify the normally unflappable Glynda, who quickly leaves the room.
• The Gospel Of Malachel: Asuka hurls a vitriolic glare at Kensuke when he quips that her next birthday will be indeed unforgettable... since she will never let them forget it.
  "Well, you don't want to wait until the last minute. You may have been willing to let your birthday slip by unnoticed, but I'm not. The fifteenth birthday of Asuka Langley Soryu," she declared with a flourish, "will be an event to be remembered."
  "If only because you won't let us forget," Kensuke cut in.
  Asuka shot him a glare of pure acid, but before she could come up with a suitable retort a shadow fell over her.
• In the The Hobbit fanfiction Heart of Ashes, Queen Lalemwen gives "Cail Agonn" (actually Smaug in disguise while in his human form) a pretty impressive one in her court, although it's a total No-Sell on the fearsome Fire-Drake. She later gives another (and a better working) one to Lord Beronor and Lord Gregorse when they try to tell her not to ask for the help of Erebor's dwarves against Smaug.
• In Hellsister Trilogy, Lucian throws a venomous glare at his teammate Mal Duncan after he has made still another stupid "Use the Force" joke.
• In Kara of Rokyn, Jara hurls an absolutely murderous glare at Kara after her amorous advances are turned down by the latter.

• In Street Fighter/Evangelion crossover Neon Genesis Evangelion Senshi No Michi, Misato throws an absolutely murderous glare at Gouken when she is woken up at 6:30 AM by the shouts and crashes coming from his training room.
  Abruptly, the doorbell rang out, and Gouken padded across the expanse of the training room to answer it. The door slid back, revealing a dishevelled and displeased Misato, who glared at Gouken with a hatred seldom seen in mortal men.
  "Ah, Captain Katsuragi. Good morning," Gouken greeted her, warmly. "I trust you slept well?"
  Misato stared at Gouken for several moments, perhaps contemplating on how best to remove his spine, before she nodded, grunting.
• The Night Unfurls: The fact that Kyril's default look is a stoic, masked visage that only reveals his blank eyes (the remastered version even changes his eye colour to be perpetually red) means that he is capable of shutting people up by simply looking at them for a few seconds. Many a character are unnerved by his murderous visage that seemingly stares right into their souls. Case in point:
  Kyril: Lady Olga, Chloe. Help the others with setting up camp. I will sweep the area.
  Chloe: You dare order the Queen around as if she is some common scullery maid!? I should cut out your tongue for your rudeness!
  Kyril: *stares*
  Chloe: *blinks first, looks away, does as told*
• In the Official Fanfiction University of MREDURE fanfiction, Marrim gives a student a death glare when said student starts professing her love for Eedrah—Marrim's husband in canon.
• In the epilogue of Olive's Last Partner, the cameraman filming Oscar's interview video shoots Olive and Otto one of these when Olive tries (and ultimately fails) not to laugh at Otto's comment made in response to Oscar saying that he sometimes makes mistakes twenty-five times in a row. The cameraman gives them another glare when the filming of the video is complete and the two Investigation agents end up letting all their laughter loose.
• In The Parselmouth of Gryffindor, Snape remains a master of this, but let's not forget Hermione and Grindelwald in Chapter 43:
  Of course, noticing that she was staying, a few curious students had wanted to stay too and see what would happen; but Hermione Granger and Gellert Grindelwald, both glaring — well, it would have taken no less than Professor Snape to top that.
• In the Godzilla and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic crossover, Shadows of Giants, this is basically Godzilla's default face. Fluttershy is able to use the Stare to cow others into submission even as a human.
• Springaling: "If Looks Cold Bruise" has the Puppet glare with increasing intensity at Springtrap after he comments that the Crying Child isn't one of his kills.
• In Superman story Superman of 2499: The Great Confrontation, Sybilla gives one to Lorile after picking a fight with her and getting soundly trashed.

• Adelle gave one to Hurdy in The Tainted Grimoire when he was about to mention something that contradicted her claims.
• This Bites!: Remembering his vow when he came to Little Garden, Cross gives one to Sanji when he objects to Cross stopping him from attacking a T-Rex for their hunting contest. He then turns his gaze on said T-Rex…who begins sweating.

  • Asuka threw several incandescent glares at Shinji during their first meeting.
  • Hikari glared at Touji when he was about to insult Asuka. Touji shut up inmediately.
  • Later on, an Asuka's death glare convinced Shinji that running away right away was a good idea:
    Asuka's glare went from an intensity of 'targeting radar on a modern destroyer' to 'capable of getting into a beam duel with Ramiel' in about two seconds, and Shinji wisely decided that an exit strategy, namely running for all he was worth, was in order.
• Deep Sea Dolphin in What Insertion? loves dealing these, and her nature as a mazoku makes it easy for her to freak people out in this manner... though often as part of the buildup to a prank.
• Wonderful (Mazinja): When Emma visited Taylor after the Leviathan's attack, she gave her brunette friend a heated glare because Taylor didn't even call to let her know if her mother and she were fine.
