History EstablishingCharacterMoment / WebComics

** Gamzee's first appearance involves him [[EruditeStoner rambling aimlessly]] about [[InsaneClownPosse miracles]] and wondering why faygo hisses or how computers work, and yet showing genuine kindness and friendship towards Karkat.

** Yukyuk, Belkar's third EvilCounterpart in the Linear Guild, made his debut by trying to kill [[TeamPet Mr. Scruffy]] for [[KickTheDog no reason]].

** Xykon gets two in the StartOfDarkness origin comic. The firs comes when a [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Professor Xavier]] expy visits him and wants to teach Xykon how to use his sorcery powers to protect a world that hates and fears him; Xykon isn't interested and so electrocutes and zombifies the man and sics him and Xykon's zombie grandmother on his parents.

** The [[http://goblinscomic.com/02222011-2/ Psionic Minmax]] from an AlternateUniverse gives an AsYouKnow speech to explain [[WellIntentionedExtremist his]] [[OmnicidalManiac motivations]], then murders one of his teammates [[YourHeadsAsplode in an extremely twisted way]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'':

** Dellyn, one of the comic's other villains, is properly introduced to the audience when he interrogates Fumbles. During this scene he displays both his FantasticRacism and his [[TortureTechnician knowledge of, and sadistic appreciation for torture]].

* In the first scene he appears in, Kore in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' brutally and efficiently slaughters all the patrons of a tavern, showing off his incredible skill with {{Automatic Crossbow}}s and [[DualWielding twin]] [[AnAxeToGrind axes]]. When he finds the last of the tavern's patrons (a dwarf child who'd been orphanned and raised by an orc), he explains to the child that because of the child's upbringing, he has been corrupted and might grow up to have sympathies with the [[FantasticRacism 'Monstrous Races']]; therefore [[KnightTemplar the child represents the potential for greater evil in the world, and therefore Kore needs to kill him...]] [[WouldHurtAchild which he does.]]

* ''{{Webcomic/Sire}}'': With a heavy EnsembleCast of characters based off of literary classics the author likes to make each important character have a bold entrance. Susan, the Hyde-Child, is first seen ripping the head off of a doll to torture her Jekyll-Child sister. Riley, TheInvisibleMan pretends to be a ghost and scares the heck out of the main characters and Emile, the [[InspectorJavert Javert-Child]] punches a teenage woman in the chest for punching her sister.

** Funnily enough, this wildly contrasts with his first appearance in ''CuantaVida'', in which he ambushes Blue Spy when having a shower. His establishing character moment is a few pages later, when he claims that he was just "testing his reaction", before elaborating on his relationship with the Blue Sniper in very explicit detail.
* ''{{Webcomic/Spacetrawler}}'': The humans all reveal something about their personality in their first appearance:

* ''{{Webcomic/Remus}}'' introduces Seth by having him [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves murder one of his own double agents]] against the will of his superiors. It's implied that he'd coerced the man into the position in the first place.
* The Wulfenbachs in ''GirlGenius''. The baron is menaced by someone with a giant robot. What does he do? ''Leave his son handle it as an exercise''. Said son gives a complete exposition of the situation, direct troops to suppress the danger… Then when a bomb is thrown in his direction, he send it back while protecting both the young assistant (our heroine, actually) and the goldfish. Establishing Character MomentOfAwesome.

** Likewise, Meenah's very first action on-screen is to try and kill Roxy for the heck of it.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Bun-bun [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=970901 calls Torg a "nerd-boy," beats him up, and threatens to neuter him with a spoon]] during his second appearance in the series. Pretty much everything you need to know about Bun-Bun right there.
** Note for non-readers: Bun-bun is a rabbit. A KillerRabbit, but still a fluffy little bunny. Who's way scarier than anything the main characters have to fight.
** The whole story "The Bikini-Suicide Frisbee Match" serves to establish Zoë as the relatively normal person and ChewToy of the group. It's almost an exaggeration of what she's going to be like, but her being a dump for the consequences of the weirdness in the world of the comic is a pretty much permanent thing, even though she learns to deal with it and stand up for herself.

* In ''GeneralProtectionFault'', Trudy is initially smiling through her entire interview, but when Dwayne is away, and Ki feels like she shook hands with the devil, Trudy tells her that she has that effect on "inferior life forms". Soon afterward, Trudy is shown ''literally'' [[KickTheDog kicking a dog]].

* The Wulfenbachs in ''GirlGenius''. The baron is menaced by someone with a giant robot. What does he do? ''Leave his son handle it as an exercise''. Said son gives a complete exposition of the situation, direct troops to suppress the danger… Then when a bomb is thrown in his direction, he send it back while protecting both the young assistant (our heroine, actually) and the goldfish.

* Gabry's first appearance in ''ThisIsTheWorstIdeaYouveEverHad'' has him asking a total stranger if she's okay after he sees her date pushing her and talking down to her.

* ''{{Webcomic/Remus}}'' introduces Seth by having him [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves murder one of his own double agents]] against the will of his superiors. It's implied that he'd coerced the man into the position in the first place.
