* The first arc of ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'', ''The Rebel Opposition'', has a Wookiee character named Groznik. Much like Chewie with Han, he had a life debt to the freedom fighter Throm Loro. When Throm died, Groznik decided to pledge himself to Throm's wife Elscol and help her in her struggles against the Empire.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Groznik to be a character! Wookiees can't speak Basic but are textually ''people''. Chewbacca makes his thoughts and intentions known constantly. The audience can't understand him but the characters can and he's quite expressive and active, a true partner to Han and to other characters. \\
'''Instead:''' Groznik is basically a dog that can use weapons. Elscol hasn't learned to understand any of his language and it's unclear if he understands ''her'' either, he just follows her around, [[EvilDetectingDog growls at threats]] (prompting a "Groznik senses something!"), and attacks enemies. In the next arc, ''The Phantom Affair'', someone creates a hologram of a ghostly Jedi with Throm's face. Throm wasn't a Jedi but that doesn't matter. Completely unquestioning, Groznik does everything the hologram tells him to do, including turn on Elscol and the Rebels she's working with, unmoved when the hologram user ''talked about this deception in front of him''. \\
'''The Result:''' When the hologram user dies and the Jedi hologram stops doing things, the Wookiee just goes into a berserker rage until he's killed. Why make him a Wookiee at all?

* In ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'' (the one written by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost), the X-Men have decided to form a new team of trainees to fight alongside them. However, one of the possible recruits is [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]] {{Tykebomb}} [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]], who can be forced to enter an uncontrollable berserker rage if exposed to a particular scent. [[Characters/MarvelComicsEmmaFrost Emma Frost]], one of the new team's teachers, is understandably worried by this and considers X-23 a danger to the other students.\\

'''Even Worse''': Diana was still feeling guilty about and traumatized by the monster known as Genocide. Among other things, Genocide had the power to turn people into irrational murderers against their will. Even though Genodice was beaten, and thus an unlikely suspect, Diana should have nonetheless been used to it, with the mosnter's actions so fresh in her memory, with Quetzlotl just confessing innocence within the lasso of truth, and responded appropriately!

* A two-part ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' comic story in ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'': Gizmoduck is about to go pay a visit to fellow Super Power Union member Mr. Wonderful, but just as he's opening the door, he discovers that Mr. Wonderful is in fact working for F.O.W.L. when he sees him speaking with [[BigBad Steelbeak]] via videophone.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Gizmoduck to get out of there without being noticed and go alert Darkwing to tell him he was right.\\
'''Instead:''' Gizmoduck rushes into the room, preparing to pulverize Mr. Wonderful, who responds to his threat by calling the other members of the Union to come take care of Gizmoduck.

* ''{{ComicBook/Crossed}}'':
** At the end of the first arc of ''Badlands'', [[spoiler: after Harry ends up dead, the rest of the survivor group decide to go for his rifle. After Ian manages to find Harry's rifle, he starts taking the Crossed out with single shots.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler:That he would stay the hell away from Harry's dead body, given that he saw him being infected and killed not long ago.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler:After replacing the clip, he just continues firing his rifle without moving away from the corpse, and as result when a Crossed shoots Harry's top body half with a shotgun by accident, Ian ends up splashed with his infected blood and decides to blow himself up with a grenade]].
** ''Yellow Belly'' has a lot of such examples.
*** When Edmund's hometown ends up invaded in the second issue of ''Yellow Belly'', he is forced to join his bully classmates in defending the gun shop they settled up in.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That they would at least try and come up with an escape plan in case things go south.\\
'''Instead:''' Hank and his crew all think it will be a good idea to seal inside the store. While they did manage to amass quite a lot of people, none of them have professional combat experience and infection can spread out of control very rapidly. Indeed, the second the Crossed break in, everything that could go wrong ''does'' go wrong.\\
'''You'd Also Expect:''' That at least someone would be watching the windows so that when the threat comes, they will be ready to fight back.\\
'''Instead:''' Everyone is occupied with comforting themselves and each other, and as result completely fail to see a circus truck heading towards the head entrance. Predictably, the vehicle plows through the wall, killing several people on its own and allowing the Crossed to pour in next. As result, Edmund is forced to flee while everyone else ends up dead or infected.
*** During the firefight between the bikers and the Crossed, [[spoiler:Edmund kills Nicole by accident after mistaking her for a Crossed. Just as he is preparing to take his own life, Harold Lorre from ''Psychopath'' appears and talks him out of the suicide. After a small discussion, he tells that Edmund should have sex with Nicole's dead body.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler:That Edmund would at least ask him what would be the point and what could it have with hiding her body. And if not, try to run away.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler:He complies and only ''afterwards'' does he question Harold about what does it have with hiding her body. He receives a cryptic response from Harold and is left where he was. Consequently, when he comes back to the biker gang that managed to beat the first wave of Crossed, he breaks down blurts out that he killed and ravished Nicole first to Donna, ''her own sister'', and then to the rest of the '''entire biker army'''. By doing this, Edmund unwillingly causes even more deaths, eventually including his own when the vengeful Donna bashes his head with a rock.]]
*** Related to the above, [[spoiler:Ricky and his gang are about to quarter Edmund with motorcycles when a police patrol shows up.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler:That since one of the Ricky's henchmen told him earlier that almost the entire police force of Lakeside had been slaughtered and/or infected, Ricky himself would take it seriously and rally up the defenses, with or without Edmund back at their side.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler:He merely shrugs it off and does not notice the cops being infected until it's too late. Both he and presumably the rest of his gang, sans Donna, are taken by surprise and massively slaughtered (with Ricky himself getting shot in the back of his head), with only Edmund and Donna herself managing to get away.]]

* In ''[[ComicBook/{{Alix}} Alix Senator]]'', Titus' mother, Lidia, has caught [[IncurableCoughOfDeath an unknown disease and is dying]]. Eventually, Titus and his father Alix discover that the disease is related to exposition of {{Orichalcum}} which is [[GreenRocks highly harmful]] in this universe. Worse, some insane cultists want to spread it to the city of Rome through its waterworks. Titus and Alix fought the cultists and succeed in stopping them. Unfortunatly the water has already been contaminated and both Alix and Titus have bathed in the foul water during the battle. Knowing that the water is toxic, Alix orders everyone in Rome to stop bathing and drinking the water for the next few days.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Titus to listen to his father and refrain from touching '''anyone''', as he's been in water himself and will pose a danger to anyone he touches.\\
'''Instead:''' Titus checks on his mother and the first thing he does is hugging her, causing her condition to worsen and then, she dies.
