Would Hurt A Child / Webcomics

Go To


  • Africa: Africa's cub, Binti is killed in the later chapters of the webcomic. The culprit is as yet unknown, and Africa's son Mosi is in hiding.
  • In Axe Cop Babysits Uni-Baby, Dinosaur Soldier summons two cyborgs to "punch (Uni-Baby) any time she would cry or make a ruckus." The usual implications of this trope are avoided in that Axe Cop and his partner are not evil, and are in fact the heroes of the story. The story was originally written by a 7-year-old who makes no distinction between children and adults, and considers the act of punching someone in the face to be fairly equal opportunity.
  • A fully grown man fights his way through the pack and scores a goal... in a youth league soccer game in this Biter Comics strip.
  • Charby the Vampirate is full of characters willing to murder, torture or eat children, it's how so much of the cast became undead children in the first place. Special mention goes to Charby's sire who prefers to eat children over other humans and likes to Mind Rape his victims before drinking their blood and leaving them to die slowly.
  • Morris of Domain Tnemrot sucker-punched a child in the stomach because she was annoying him. Laser-Guided Karma takes instant effect when the girl's Parental Substitute grabs the back of his head and smashes him face first into a table.
  • In Dragon Mango, it's one thing to seek revenge on Mango, and another to threaten Cherry.
  • Lothar Hex from Exterminatus Now; apparently, he once hid in an orphanage while on the lam, then gouged out the orphans' eyes so they couldn't identify him, and shot the youngest of them to make the rest go quiet. He was more concerned with how difficult it was for him to get their blood out of his hat.
  • The Other from Girl Genius blasted her way onto the scene years before the start of the comic and killed Agatha's infant brother in the process. She and her followers also have no problem wasping children, which makes them her unknowing sleeper agent like slaves with only the illusion of free will or can turn them into mindless shambling zombie-like revenants.
  • Kore in Goblins murders a child in the first scene he appears in. The child in question is an orphan who's been Raised by Orcs, and to Kore's twisted perception of good and evil, anyone who potentially has sympathy for the 'monstrous races' is guilty of evil through their passiveness.
  • In Impure Blood, Roan was only a child when captured for the Gladiator Games.
  • Kaiten Mutenmaru: The poverty-ridden rebels targeted Sick as a child solely for being the son of their aristocratic oppressors, with heavy implications that they would also have killed him if Anne, Sick's girlfriend his age whom one of them thrust away beforehand, hadn't stepped in and been killed in a blind rage.
  • #Killstagram: As the phantom assassin game wears on, Sarang slowly realizes that all the participants are violent people. It's eventually revealed that they are there specifically because they had committed violent crimes against children, including Sarang herself, who strangled her own daughter and then forgot about it.
  • The Lion King: Hidden Stories:
    • Chumvi and Kala's absence throughout The Lion King is explained as their mother's running away. Scar wanted to kill all the cubs besides Nala.
    • Zira was banished from the Pridelands for killing Simba's son Kopa.
  • In Luminary Children, Korocassia and Citore both even kill one.
  • Magical Mom: Sara's father is established as being very cold and willing to use lethal methods against anything deemed evil, even if it's a kid turning into a monster.
  • In Mias World, Lyer, paranormal spirit and the main antagonist ended up forcing World to murder Mia.
  • The Order of the Stick:
    • The ancient black dragon intended to kill Varsuuvius' children, and managed to hurt them before V showed up to stop her. She notes that people don't think anything of killing dragon young, such as when V killed her (young adult) son.
    • Also applies in the prequel Start of Darkness when the paladins attack Redcloak's village, emphasizing their brutality. On seeing a teenaged goblin attempting to defend his even younger brother and sister, a paladin on horseback is gleeful at the opportunity to take out three in a row and use her great cleave feat. Redcloak's six-year-old sister is killed while trying to hide, and another mounted paladin chases down his little brother, blinds him in one eye, and attempts to kill him before Redcloak comes to his rescue.
  • In Our Little Adventure, Angelika accidentally lights a school on fire while fireballing an Angelo's Kid. The kids flee the school and the Angelo Kid watches, thinking "Mmm, unarmored targets. That's pretty tempting."
  • Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: The votey for 2010-11-19 has God saying he would totally punch a kid, as per another child's prayer.
  • Sidekicks: In his introduction, Pluton was seen choking and killing a little girl, all with an creepily satisfied grin on his face. It's disconcerting to say the least.
  • Slightly Damned does not sugarcoat how utterly merciless both angels and demons are; they can, have and will hurt and kill children without hesitation.
    • Bodies of demon children litter the ground in Hell during the Great War. It's implied this was the demon orphanage massacre committed by angels that occurred 15 years before the main story.
    • Denevol attacks and attempts to kill Buwaro simply for being a demon, and tries to kill Kieri for defending him.
    • Azurai gruesomely kills Sanjulo (a warrior angel in his mid-teens) when he wasn't even supposed to, because an extremely petty Berserk Button involving his horns was pressed.
    • Haury, Triska and Abyset were willing to kill the whole Sinclair family to get a very powerful potion set, including a 10-11 year old girl and an infant. Abyset is particularly nasty, as he goes out of his way to chase after Miranda Sinclair's children instead of fighting the grown adults of the family with the rest of his team.
    • Angel children are gathered up for sacrifices to bring demons to Medius, and at least one rogue angel is supporting Hell's army in doing so.
  • Hector from The Story of Anima has no qualms dropping a little rabbit girl to her doom.
  • In Strays, after the Stalker with a Crush killed the mother, he blames the child and goes to hurt.
  • In Tales of the Questor, the Shaman and his minions would hurt a child, and she had nightmares from it. They really shouldn't have made her cry.
  • In Team Fortress 2, Classic Scout and Classic Soldier cheerfully discuss plans to start an orphanage for an "endless supply of free kids". It's not specified what they want them for, but it's clearly nothing good. Fortunately the current team's Friend to All Children Pyro intervenes in an incendiary manner.
  • Mavra Chan in Terinu was shown onscreen beating the life out of the title character (when he couldn't even fight back) and in a flashback having him set upon by bloodsucking animal as part of this Training from Hell.
  • Unsounded:
    • The Red Berry Boys, use human bodies as smuggling vessels, and are paid by the body. Starfish realizes they can stretch their product further by using smaller bodies. Starfish gets a particular delight out of torturing kids and tries to rape Sette, so it's not all about profits.
    • Lemuel leads a task force to destroy a major Crescian Gefendur shrine filled with young girls. The plan involves having some scumbag soldiers rape and pillage the shrine, killing nearly everyone except for a few survivors who can tell the tale to the rest of Cresce with the hope that they will be enraged with the Queen for putting the shrine in harm's way (since it's hiding a laboratory for pymeric constructs). Duane is horrified with how callously Lemuel speaks of the matter.
  • The Big Bad of We Are The Wyrecats has a...way with kids. That way tends to result in them dying, nearly dying, or watching somebody they care about die.
