[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'']]
* In the MirrorUniverse fan AU ''Fanfic/{{Underfell}}'', it's the monsters who attack the humans rather than the other way round. Unfortunately for them, the same rules still apply as in canon and monsters are critically weak compared to humans. Again, just like in canon, it's a CurbStompBattle which ends with the monsters being banished underground and no humans killed.

* Darui in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10518212/2/The-Pride The Pride]]'' threatens to kill Shizune (knowing full well she's carrying Naruto's child) if Naruto doesn't do what he says. Naruto is currently in [[SuperMode Kyuubi]] [[UpToEleven Sage Mode]] and fully capable of [[OneManArmy taking on an entire country by himself]]. Needless to say, it doesn't go well for him. Made even worse by the fact Darui was there on orders to offer Naruto's group a chance to join Kumo and was told to only resort to violence if absolutely necessary.

* ''Fanfic/ItsAlwaysTheQuietOnes'': Snape tries to attack [[EldritchAbomination the Wrackspurts]] with Stunning Spells even when it's clear that conventional spells can't hurt them. His attempt to Avada-Kedavra the biggest one only makes it angry and results in him getting eaten.

The crew tries to warn them (even pointing out that their friends are lucky they didn't get ''killed'') but they don't listen so... the result was [[CurbStompBattle quite predictable]].

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'':
** Guard B-04 viciously verbally taunts the Vivienne Graham half of the human-Ghidorah TwoBeingsOneBody on a recurring basis, for no other reason than shits and giggles. Viv and San eventually end up killing him.
** In Chapter 4, Alan Jonah has one of his {{Mook Lieutenant}}s deliberately attempt to provoke the hybrid to anger by relentlessly hurling increasingly vicious taunts at Vivienne. When said soldier finally goes too far on her, San takes over the wheel from her and he shuts the guy up permanently — ''and'' mercilessly.

* Implicitly explored in ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', to the point of {{deconstruction}}. As per Kyril, "history is rife with the few who stand against many. The weak going against the strong". In hindsight, it is tempting to dismiss those who antagonise someone far more powerful than them as morons, but reality is not so simple.
** The confrontation between Olga and Kyril twists this trope via perspective. Olga, [[EvilOverlord the Dark Queen]], has a [[TheDreaded dreaded]] reputation InUniverse as an adept LadyOfBlackMagic, and she knows it. Therefore, when the doors of her throne room open, revealing a lone man who have come to challenge her, Olga believes that she is the "dragon" and the man is the suicidal "bully". The kicker is that said lone man is actually ''the Good Hunter'', whom the [[DramaticIrony audience, not Olga, knows]] to [[WorldsStrongestMan outclass pretty much everyone]] in terms of might. It is until the Hunter shows Olga what he is capable of that she is forced to acknowledge that she is severely outmatched, and that Kyril is the "dragon" not be messed with.
** The assault on the Black Fortress may come across as this, since the Black Dogs' strategy is a [[StraightForTheCommander surgical strike to the Dark Queen]], despite knowing that she is more than capable of [[PlayingWithFire burning]] them to a crisp in one go. There are a couple of caveats to this way of thinking, namely, a) both sides are at war, and going for Olga is crucial for achieving victory should they succeed; b) the presence of OneManArmy Kyril makes this more viable. Besides, Vault figures out a potential exploit -- [[IHaveYourWife holding her beloved servant hostage to force her to surrender]]. The plan works.
** A [[PlayedStraight straight]] example occurs in Chapter 6 of the original has a bar patron grabbing Sanakan's buttocks. Keep in mind that [[KidHero Sana]][[ActionGirl kan]] has a big-ass [[DropTheHammer hammer]] hanging on her back, which says a lot about the kid's [[SuperStrength strength]]. That patron has his head slammed into a wall for his troubles, which gets him killed.
** This is a very common occurrence for the Hunter, considering the sheer amount of foes who dare to fight/antagonise him, only to be inevitably dispatched in the end. From the looks of it, all of those people would fit at least one of the following: they are [[DumbMuscle dumb]] (e.g. [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orcs]]), they are [[AxCrazy mindless husks]] (e.g. {{mutant}} EliteMooks), they are fulfilling their duty (e.g. guards), they [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimate him]] (e.g. anyone who says he's JustOneMan), and lastly, they [[{{Pride}} overestimate themselves]]. Many characters, including the Hunter himself, have [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] that Kyril's foes really don't understand who they are fighting against.
--->'''Kyril:''' When a man or woman thinks themselves invincible you show them how wrong they are. You destroy them without hesitation, without remorse or pity.
** And then there are people who provoke Kyril and ''not'' get killed, like [[HairTriggerTemper Chloe]] and [[HonorBeforeReason Claudia]]. They manage to get away from it because Kyril is not [[AxCrazy a bloodthirsty psycho]], and he is patient enough to cooperate with them instead (not before reminding them of their place, of course). There's also how they [[JustifiedTrope do have a reason]] for this other than "plain stupidity" (e.g. their protectiveness towards their respective liege ladies).

* In ''Fanfic/HowToDrillYourWayThroughYourProblems'', [[spoiler:Lagann and [[Literature/{{Worm}} Bakuda]] do this LITERALLY when facing down [[GatheringSteam Lung]]. In the true spirit of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]], it works like a charm.]]
* Lampshaded by [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] in Lex Luthor's body in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12512455/1/Lex-Marks-The-Spot Lex Marks the Spot]]'' when he notes that for all he's put Superman through in the belief he's a menace, even Mother Teresa would have clocked him one by now.
* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku Midoriya is secretly Kryptonian, but he accidentally put Bakugou in the hospital when they were four-years-old after a fight between them resulted Bakugou getting tossed through a concrete wall. As a result, everyone knows about Izuku's SuperStrength and stays far away from him to avoid getting hurt. Bakugou continues to antagonize Izuku and calls him "Deku" out of frustration because of Izuku's refusal to apply to U.A. out of fear of a repeat incident. The bully then proceeds to blow up Izuku's Hero Analysis notebook, prompting the young alien to grab his aggressor by the collar and effortlessly throw him into a wall (but not enough to cause actual harm) before walking off in a huff. Their classmates lampshade it.

* ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'':
** Cardin Winchester does this throughout the story. First he tries to pick on Velvet, an upperclassman who could kick his ass any day of the week and only doesn't because of her own self-restraint. Then he and the rest of CRDL try to take on Katsuki and get their asses kicked while Katsuki walks away with a couple of bruises. After that he tries to pick on Izuku, only for him to send CRDL fleeing with One For All: Full Cowl and beating Cardin into the floor without taking more than a glancing hit.
** Junior hires Pyrrha, an internationally famous fighting champion, as a waitresses and proceeds to try and grope her. The scene immediately cuts to the aftermath of the fight, which ended with Junior getting shot in the spine and his club in flames while the police question them about what happened.
* In the ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'' and ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TradeWinds'', whenever Desmond's fighting skills become known on any of the ships where he's seen action, his shipmates immediately start distrusting him and making remarks that compare him to a demon or the devil, which leave him isolated and with no friends or anybody to talk to- his narration makes it clear that he's not too happy about it.

They have no trouble believing him.
* In ''Fanfic/TheBridge'', Grand King Ghidorah causes pre HeelFaceTurn Starlight Glimmer to antagonize Godzilla Junior into a confrontation. Despite him being in the form of alicorn sized unicorn with barely any magic knowledge, he still has SuperStrength, SuperToughness, two decades of combat experience, and most of his powers even if they are toned down. And she does so by kidnapping, terrifying, and imprisoning his pupil. The result? Starlight frantically rushing through an abandoned Our Town with a royally pissed off Godzilla literally plowing through buildings to get at her, so scared it breaks Ghidorah's mind control.
* ''Fanfic/BringMeToLife'': In chapter 16, Xander briefly mouths off to Spike, who promptly stands up and reminds him of one crucial fact; Buffy had the Initiative remove the chip in his brain, which means Spike no longer has to just sit back and take Xander's insults anymore.
* Through means of Dauntless, the [=PRT=] in ''Fanfic/GregVederVSTheWorld'' mock and belittle Prodigy and his heroic actions while commending their own importance and impact on the events of the past few days. I repeat, they openly ridiculed the hero [[spoiler:who soloed the Dragon of Kyushu and single-handedly stopped the Brockton Bay Bombings, effectively putting an end to the Azn Bad Boys and]] who effectively accomplished in a matter of hours something the Parahuman Response Team hadn't managed to perform in their last ten years of operation. If Greg hadn't just undergone a load of CharacterDevelopment, he likely would have unloaded on them then and there.
* In ''Warframe''/''Worm'' story ''Fanfic/SpaceNinjaSummerCamp'', Shadow Stalker attacks Taylor after Taylor has obliterated two Nazis and beaten Stalker herself easily. Later Taylor points out that, being such a staunch proponent of the "Survival of the Fittest" dogma, Sophia should have known her actions were very stupid.
-->" Now, I felt conflicted on how I should handle the her. I did hit her kind of hard, twice, but I healed her the first time. If she really did subscribe to the Survival of the Fittest, she should've known better, right?"
* In ''Worm''/''DC Universe'' crossover ''Fanfic/EchoesOfYesterday'' Hookwolf engages Supergirl, despite knowing she had run into Lung -the most dangerous parahuman in the city- and survived. Now, he might have believed her super-strength wouldn't protect her from his razor metallic body-shell, but as soon as his blades shattered upon impact with her body, revealing she's not only stronger than him but also invulnerable to his attacks, he should have backed off. He did not, and he was crushed.
* When Kim returns to school after the events of chapter 1 in ''Fanfic/NothingIsImpossible'', Bonnie takes a moment to raz Kim over 'being a danger to the other students'... until Kim asks her if it's wise to provoke someone who, by Bonnie's own admission, might be dangerous.
* At the beginning of ''Fanfic/TalesOfTheOtherverse'', a [[Franchise/XMen mutant hater]] taunts [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] until she runs out of patience and throws him in the ocean. After she hauls him back to the pier, the man, who should know better for now, continues to taunt her. Fortunately for him, Kara chose to ignore him again.
* ''FanFic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'':
** During the 'Paint Can Incident', Sara and the rest of her GangOfBullies pushed Chloe to the point that she violently retaliated. Rather than being put off by this, they simply switched tactics, continuing their mockery and making Chloe ever more miserable.
** Faced with a pissed-off Parker [[spoiler:backed by the Unown]], Sara continues insisting that Chloe ''deserved'' to be tormented.
