History AssholeVictim / WebComics

** While Kubota's murder is a KickTheDog moment for his killer (Vaarsuvius), Elan is more upset that V killed someone at all more than he is upset that Kubota died. As Kubota was a scheming bastard who killed the only character who was loyal to him just so he could pull a DeceasedFallGuyGambit, Elan is right when he says Kubota got what was coming to him.

-->'''Elan:''' It's not like he didn't totally deserve it, but...it just feels so weird, even for a jerkhead like him.

* ''Webcomic/{{TREVOR}}'': Played with. While Dr. Maddison clearly ''thinks'' the trope is being played straight with [[spoiler: Trevor]] killing the members of the medical team, some of them had no idea the experiments done on [[spoiler: Trevor]] were ColdBloodedTorture, because they were intentionally LockedOutOfTheLoop, despite Dr. Maddison’s attempts to inform them, although he doesn’t know his messages [[spoiler: had been intercepted]]. Additionally, while those of them in the know, know that what they were doing is undoubtedly unethical, they went along with it because a) [[PunchClockVillain the pay was good]], and b) [[spoiler: the military]] wasn’t giving them a choice anyways.

** Likewise in another crossover, [[Literature/{{Carrie}} Carrie White]]'s [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]] mother Margaret ends up getting killed at the hands of [[MamaBear Pamela]] [[KnightTemplarParent Voorhees]] once the latter ended up seeing her abusive nature first hand.

* ''Webcomic/CampCounselorJason'': The three convicts from ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft'' crossover into this comic and, unlike in later ones, do ''not'' get any AdaptationalHeroism; they are still as sadistic, vile and hateful as they are in the original movie. However, [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/camp-counselor-jason-/last-house-of-the-left-part-1-warninggore/viewer?title_no=639235&episode_no=15 they]] [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/camp-counselor-jason-/last-house-of-the-left-part-2-warninggore/viewer?title_no=639235&episode_no=16 each]] [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/camp-counselor-jason-/last-house-of-the-left-part-3-warninggore/viewer?title_no=639235&episode_no=17 end up]] getting [[AccidentalMurder indirectly killed]] by [[AccidentalHero Jason]] and each time is as hilarious as it is satisfying for the readers (especially those who have watched the movie).

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Starfish is an evil DirtyCoward who targets children, enslaved a bunch of kids then had them cut open to smuggle first silver in them and tried to rape Sette. His death was not mourned by anyone.

** After a failed attempt to steal a valuable potion set from the Sinclairs and a brief tussle with Rhea, Abyset is [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice ran through]] by an angry Kieri's blade. It's [[UncertainDoom unknown]] if he actually died, but seeing that he was a [[DirtyCoward slimy coward]] who preferred to "fight" Medians physically smaller and weaker than him, it's no love lost if he was.

** Dakos is shown to be a nasty piece of work, even for a demon. He calls Iratu's men [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain "cripples"]] directly in their presence, scars a young angel child to get his mother to sing for her, which he knows [[RestrainingBolt she can't do,]] and assaults Buwaro [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown while he's unconscious and can't fight back.]] He's finally killed when a berserk Lazuli spears him through the throat with an icicle, to the lamentation of no one.

** After the hell she put Kieri through, after permanently traumatizing the poor girl to the point she has suicidal tendencies, after murdering numerous innocent people in cold blood, no one, '''''nobody''''' shed ''any'' tears when Lazuli is finally killed.

* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' has JerkJock Brett Taggarty and SmugSnake Serk Brakkis who met a grisly gory death at the powerful magic of [[TheDragon Celesto Morgan]]. And with good reason, too: Brett was a drunken misogynist, a bully, assaulted a nurse and the titular hero's younger brother, Gregory. Serk Brakkis, on the other hand, tried to force the people living in the devastated town of Barthis to sell their property to him to make a stadium for the deceased Taggarty, owns five dummy companies and the Slaughterball team Taggarty was in, [[StrawmanNewsMedia the local newspaper]] for smear campaigns against Gregory and Donovan, as well as plotted the murders of several people including Dominic '''''AND''''' Celesto. And all while playing by ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney.

** Pretty much a lot of characters, too many to count. From a half-dragon that wanted to rape Ariel, human royals who bathe in elf blood for immortality to entire Drow houses and raiders who don't bat an eye at rapine, slavery and mass murder of each other, surfacers and anything else, the webcomic is a grabbag full of AssholeVictims from all races.

* ''Webcomic/HeartCore'': The first humans that Ame kills when she reaches [[DomedHometown New Ayers]]. Let' count their dooming qualities, shall we? Trying to gleefuly rob a seemingly helpless woman in a dark corridor? Check. Attempts to rape her once they got her pinned to a wall? Check. Being heavily implied to have done this to other people on more than one occasion? Check. Funny how the "helpless woman" turned out to be Ame herself, having lured them all into a trap so that she could later tear out their hearts!

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Any time members of the Knights of Jove, or more generally Tarvek's extended family, end up killed pretty much no one is sad to see them go as they're all a bunch of backstabbing murderers involved in a centuries long conspiracy and about half of them are in league with the [[BigBad Other]].

* ''Webcomic/LighterThanHeir'': The Zamoran farmer who Zeppelin knocks out. While he was indeed defending his farm from robbers, when he cornered three of them he was going to murder them in cold blood instead of simply holding them until the police arrive.
* ''Webcomic/MonsterOfTheWeek'' has a lot of this in episode ''Shapes'', where a villagers are slaughtered one by one by a werewolf.

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive''
** Subverted with the completely evil Avagadro Pompey, who actually ''did'' die of natural causes. [[{{Jerkass}} Kharisma]] was trying to kill him, but all her murder attempts failed. Naturally no one believes her and she's convicted of murder.
** And then you had Avagadro's former sex slave, Pepito. Once freed from Avagadro's clutches, he proved every bit the JerkAss Avagadro was. And then [[CruelAndUnusualDeath he was torn apart by rabid anime fangirls]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'':
** Miir'kin Vel'Vlozress was by all counts was a pretty big jerk, even attempting to murder the protagonist in cold blood, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome.
** Then there's Rikshakar, who gets killed by a demon in a CurbStompBattle, but this was just ''after'' he'd tried to rape a little girl and force her to shapeshift into a more mature form after kidnapping her.
** There's also Nihi'liir Vel'Sharen, whose arm gets possessed and has to be amputated, but only because she got impatient with [[TheWoobie Faen]], slapped her and quickly found out [[PowerIncontinence just how dangerous empaths can be]]. It then happens to her again and this time it proves to be fatal, as Ariel manages to sneak up on her when disguised and decapitates her from behind, which is a pretty dishonorable death but was exactly what she deserved since she grew up into even more of a sadistic bully and was in charge of a slave army created by the {{Conscription}} of commoners who otherwise wouldn't have gotten involved in the war at all.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** During the 3x showdown between Vriska, Eridan, and Gamzee, Kanaya shows up and [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisects]] Eridan with her chainsaw. Considering Eridan had gone insane, [[EyeScream blinded]] Sollux, [[IfICantHaveYou murdered]] Feferi, almost killed Kanaya too, and destroyed the only hope they had to revive the troll race, it's hard to feel sorry for him.
** Later, during and after "[S] Game Over":
*** Kanaya does it again, this time slicing Gamzee in half from crotch to crown. Even by the time of the previous showdown mentioned above, Gamzee had already killed Equius and Nepeta, and he's later revealed to have been working for Lord English for quite some time. He furthermore gets Terezi into an abusive relationship with him and beats her to within an inch of her life, then kills Karkat when he tries to save her. By the time a completely enraged Kanaya cuts him down, there's ''no'' arguing that he didn't deserve it.
*** A non-fatal one: John gives an absolutely brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Caliborn, the sociopathic, misogynistic little shit who killed his sister, bullied her friends, and grows up to become the BigBad of the whole comic, Lord English.
*** Aranea, a BitchInSheepsClothing who turns out to be a KnightTemplar GloryHound, kills [[DragonWithAnAgenda Her Imperious Condescension's]] heir, Jane, as well as two other characters, manipulates the God Tier clock so they stay dead, and mortally wounds Terezi. It says a lot that, when the Condesce--who has been well-established by this point to be a cruel, ruthless, genocidal tyrant--snaps Aranea's neck and throws her into a fire to make sure she stays dead, ''she'' (the Condesce) is the more sympathetic one.
* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', many of the prey species (and occasionally, predators) that get themselves eaten are often established as jerks, and often die as a result of their transgressions. For example, one [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]] parody character tries to get Kell to eat Kevin by bringing up his online affair, but when it [[MilhollandRelationshipMoment turns out the "affair" was actually with Kell]], and he persists in trying to provoke her, she eats him.
* Many of the clientele in ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'' fall into this category, particularly Ty Montlet and the guy from the mall.
* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' has JerkJock Brett Taggarty and SmugSnake Serk Brakkis who met a grisly gory death at the powerful magic of [[TheDragon Celesto Morgan]]. And with good reason, too: Brett was a drunken misogynist, a bully, assaulted a nurse and the titular hero's younger brother, Gregory. Serk Brakkis, on the other hand, tried to force the people living in the devastated town of Barthis to sell their property to him to make a stadium for the deceased Taggarty, owns five dummy companies and the Slaughterball team Taggarty was in, [[StrawmanNewsMedia the local newspaper]] for smear campaigns against Gregory and Donovan, as well as plotted the murders of several people including Dominic '''''AND''''' Celesto. And all while playing by ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney.
* In ''Webcomic/FreakAngels'', Luke is caught raping a woman he's placed under MindControl, a firefight breaks out, and he's finally shot and killed. Repeatedly. It doesn't stick.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'' the Eebs, the oppressed SlaveRace that the protagonists are trying to free, used to be one of the most dangerous and violent species in the galaxy; the only reason they didn't actively terrorize other planets was because of their extreme laziness.
* Mr. Gonyer, the insurance agent from [[http://fishbones.livejournal.com/29307.html the LJ sample chapter]] of ''Webcomic/{{Fishbones}}'', who won't give coverage to a family man for his wife's breast cancer treatment because it's "too experimental."
* This [[http://asofterworld.com/index.php?id=836 comic]] from ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld''.

* By the time [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-25 Lee Smith is finally caught by agents of the temple he robbed]] in ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'', he has already [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-07 established himself to be]] a ManipulativeBastard who is [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-17 perfectly willing to commit murder to cover his tracks.]]
* ''Webcomic/HeartCore'': The first humans that Ame kills when she reaches [[DomedHometown New Ayers]]. Let' count their dooming qualities, shall we? Trying to gleefuly rob a seemingly helpless woman in a dark corridor? Check. Attempts to rape her once they got her pinned to a wall? Check.

Funny how the "helpless woman" turned out to be Ame herself, having lured them all into a trap so that she could later tear out their hearts!
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has a comically over-the-top (and quite anonymous) villain [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2388 apparently about to be eaten]] by an EldritchAbomination.
* In ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'', a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Drath]] {{invoke|dTrope}}s this on Professor Fike while [[DemonicPossession possessing his body]] through a brutal HannibalLecture about Fike's responsibility for his [[BuryYourGays son's death]]. However, Drath are {{Consummate Liar}}s with an innate sense of their victims' deepest fears and darkest secrets, so its word on the matter is entirely unreliable.
* ''Webcomic/LighterThanHeir'': The Zamoran farmer who Zeppelin knocks out. While he was indeed defending his farm from robbers, when he cornered three of them he was going to murder them in cold blood instead of simply holding them until the police arrive.

* ''Webcomic/{{AGENCY}}'' has a non-lethal variant, with [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} D.W. Read]] getting kidnapped by [[NebulousEvilOrganization The Nine]]. Considering what an [[KidsAreCruel absolutely insufferable little bitch]] she is in her origin series, it's unlikely that many readers of the comic are going to feel bad for her, even though, technically speaking, she didn't do anything to bring the kidnapping on herself.
* ''Webcomic/TheBikiniBottomHorror'': Mr. Krabs is revealed to have taken one of Patrick's limbs and imprisoned the clone that regenerated from it, and harvested the clone's regenerating flesh for the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. He's later delimbed and killed by a bunch of other Patrick clones.
* ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'''s author David Willis has been quoted to say that nobody will die in the comic since the subsequent mourning would slow the pace of the plot to a crawl. The two exceptions out of three, [[spoiler:Ross [=MacIntyre=], an abusive parent willing to send his adult daughter to gay conversion therapy and kill everyone that gets in his way]] and [[spoiler:Blaine O'Malley, a mob stooge willing to kidnap and murder multiple people to get his daughter to drop out of college]] fall into this trope. Coincidentally, the former ends up [[EvilerThanThou killed by the latter]]. The third exception, [[spoiler:Mike Warner,]] doesn't count for this trope because, while an asshole, [[spoiler:he was more benevolent than the other two and actually died saving his friend from them.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GhostTheater'', the spirit of Pureun Shim pretends to be an innocent, guileless girl that just wants to say a final goodbye to her father before passing on, which the protagonists do their best to help her fulfill. It turns out two be a ruse to get her father in a position where she can murder him. But since he was hideously neglectful and ''sold her to human traffickers'' to support his gambling addiction, it's hard to blame her.
* ''Webcomic/{{Rebirth}}'': Noah finally kills Ian once he sees him attempt to push Neo into a horde of zombies in order to save himself. Having seen Ian do this to his own daughter Iva in the previous timeline, Noah realizes how much of a danger Ian truly is and pushes him to the zombies.
* ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'': Played straight with Jordan, who was a serial killer who'd killed ten women. Played with in regards to the second sinner, as Scarlet finds her sin to not be too bad, and very played with Ana, who killed her terminally ill son, but also had an awful past, and accepted her punishment with grace.
* ''Webcomic/MyDeepestSecret'': Brian and Emma's professor both totally had it coming after (in the case of the former) attempting to rape Emma, and in the latter's case was HotForStudent (though Brian doesn't actually die).
** The end of season one suggests that [[spoiler: Sophie]] is to become Elios' next victim. Although first made to look like it's out of jealousy, it's later shown [[spoiler: after it's revealed that she's the one who spread the video of Emma and Yohan around school and pushed Emma into a river]] she's actually this. Jealousy was likely involved anyway.
