* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qRmjNexfE0 final cutscene]] of ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries'' shows a Com Guard ''Atlas'' standing over the wreckage of its fallen enemies ([[PyrrhicVictory and more than a few allies]]), with the local sun at the back of its head, reflecting the Com Guards' perceived role as saviors of humanity by goading the [[ProudWarriorRace Clans]] into battle at Tukayyid [[ShockingDefeatLegacy and utterly crushing them]].

* Cassie in ''Film/PromisingYoungWoman'' is associated with religious imagery, including crucifixion poses, background wings, and halos around/above her head. When Madison shows no intention to admit her guilt, Cassie is shown at a low angle so a red circular light shows above her, demonstrating her antihero tendencies even if it's for a good cause.

* ''WebAnimation/AngelHare'': In ''Bonus Case - Last Leads'', a shot of Zag's arrival into town depicts him surrounded by guns, standing with his face down in front of a glowing ring of fire. Although the narrator doesn't know it, [[spoiler: the audience recognizes this by now as a sign of his literal angelic nature.]]

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': A subtle example in "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E32APassageForTrumpet A Passage for Trumpet]]", in which a mysterious figure pulls a suicidal trumpet player (Jack Klugman) back from the DespairEventHorizon and gives him a second chance at life. Just before he leaves, Jack says, "I didn't get your name." He turns around and answers, "Call me Gabe. Short for [[ArchangelGabriel Gabriel]]." As he says this, he is standing directly under an overhead lamp, the light from which resembles a halo over his head. The shot was framed intentionally for that effect.

* In issue 27 of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Season 8 a flashback shows Oz meditating with Bayarmaa. Oz sits inside a cage, and his head is framed by darkness. Opposite him and outside the cage is Bayarmaa, her head framed by artwork on the walls of the monastery in the shape of the sun, with beams radiating out from it. This trope occurs again one issue later: Oz hugs Willow and both their heads are framed by a painting on the wall.
* ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'' uses this to introduce no less a figure than ComicBook/CaptainAmerica to the narrative. At what is Spidey's DarkestHour in the arc, with all his allies defeated, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_815.PNG Cap appears]] in the somber night, his head backlit by the moon, going full HopeBringer even after things seem bleak.
* Issue 5 of ''ComicBook/{{Shutter}}'' gives Kate both a halo and wings when a figure with both stands behind her.
