Since the bird is in flight at the time and also carrying Cutter and Ember, this gives them a bumpy landing. Shortly afterward in a climactic battle scene Cutter gets speared through the gut and subsequently lives. Artist Wendy Pini once joked that she did it so they could put a pencil sharpener in the character's action figure.
* Steppenwolf does this to ''ComicBook/Earth2'' ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' killing poor Diana instantly.
* ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' foe the Brow ended up impaled on a flagpole. Worse, he slid ''all'' the way down to the ground. Understandably, Chester Gould once cited it as the worst death any character in the comic ever suffered.
* Non-bad-guy Creator/MarvelComics example: Openly-gay hero Freedom Ring fought an evil AlternateUniverse version of ComicBook/IronMan, with neurokinetic (controlled by his brain) armor.
* The Norman Osborn the ComicBook/GreenGoblin in ''ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied'', impaled on his own glider. [[spoiler: He gets better however.]]
* In Marvel, Omega Red frequently impales people with his tentacles and drains their life right out of them but what happens to his captive, Jubilee, isn't his fault as the building they're in is bombed and a beam falls through her chest.
* A [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] hero named ([[YouAreNumberSix or numbered]]) #711 is probably most famous for killing a crook by throwing a harpoon through him once.
* Subverted in the early 1990s ''ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}}'' comics when a villain attempts to impale the alien hero on a roasting spit and appears to succeed. After the villains leave, Sleepwalker gets up, revealing that he merely warped the spit around his body to make it look like he'd been skewered, as a means of getting the villains to leave so no InnocentBystanders would be hurt by their fight.

* Angela del Toro (also known as ComicBook/WhiteTiger) was killed by Lady Bullseye this way. See [[http://www.comicvine.com/white-tiger/29-1925/all-images/108-199481/dd_0018b/105-624450/ here]]. She was revived soon after though.

* ''[[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel G.I. Joe]]'': Snake Eyes actually does this to Scarlett!

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Mystique}} did this to ComicBook/{{Rogue}} at one point. ComicBook/{{Gambit}} and Rogue both received this [[http://rogue666.narod.ru/195.jpeg simultaneously]] at another point, which is quite the TearJerker as they're TogetherInDeath.
* ''UltimateUniverse'': Loki did this to Valkyrie. See [[http://www.comicvine.com/valkyrie/29-6809/all-images/108-213425/val_loki/105-1311175/ here]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Elephantmen}}'' has Lieutenant Trench getting impaled through the back by a spire while he's suffering from a drug overdose in Issue #76. Amazingly, he ''doesn't'' die.
* It almost happened in ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1972}} Vol 1]] #1'' when a serial killer attempts to murder someone by dumping him on metal spikes but Supergirl manages to catch the would-be victim in time.
** Kara herself is on the receiving end when Lex Luthor impales her with with a Kryptonite spike in his gauntlet, Kara recovers thanks to her HealingFactor.
* Franchise/{{Superman}}, having a very bad day. At the end of ''[[Comicbook/TheDeathOfSuperman Reign of the Supermen]]'', Supes jams his arm through the chest of the cyborg Hank Henshaw and vibrates so fast that Henshaw is torn apart into individual atoms. Worth noting that Henshaw's current body was largely made of cloned Kryptonian tissue, meaning he was almost as tough as Superman himself.
* ComicBook/{{Magik}} does this to Karma. See [[http://www.comicvine.com/magik/29-8303/all-images/108-214540/untitled2/105-1590871/ here]].
* Happens in ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'' to a hero, but doesn't work out the way the villain hoped.
-->[[spoiler: '''Aaron Stack:''' Excuse me. Have you really ever met a robot you could kill by stabbing it through the chest? My beer-deprived robot brain says: No, pusbag, you haven't.]]
* [[PlayedForLaughs Done humorously]] in ''ComicBook/{{Reyn}}'', where the eponymous character is impaled in the chest with a sword. His first reaction is to nonchalantly utter a PrecisionFStrike.
* In ''ComicBook/TheGoldenAge'', Liberty Belle rammed Starman's broken cosmic rod through Dynaman's body after Green Lantern softened him up, electrocuting him to death.
* During the UK Marvel run of the ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'', this is how MadScientist Flame meets his end. After a ZombieApocalypse and nearly causing an EarthShatteringKaboom, one of the revenant Transformers--former Wreckers leader Impactor--uses most of his remaining un-life force to fire his HarpoonGun ArmCannon at the rogue Autobot. BoomHeadshot, [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:FlameUK_HARPOONED.jpg a ten-foot long harpoon straight to the forehead and all the way out the other side]].
* In ''ComicBook/TransformersDarkCybertron'', [[MadScientist Jhiaxus]] is fighting Starcream while wearing reactive armor, which gives him {{Doppelganger}} abilities. Unfortunately for him, when he uses his [[BladeBelowTheShoulder arm-blades]] against Starscream, he tips Starscream off to their existence (Starscream having only just upgraded to a new body and didn't know its new abilities yet). Screamer responded by stabbing both blades right through his chest and ripping him apart.
* The Widower stabs Tim Drake with a sword and leaves him for dead after a sneak attack on Tim and those accompanying him in ''Comicbook/RedRobin''. While Tim did wake up next to [[spoiler: a Lazarus Pit]] the attack only really cost him his [[UselessSpleen spleen]].
* Superman murders the Joker this way in ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' by shoving his entire arm through Joker's chest, also known by the FanDumb as the ''Superman High Five'''
----
* Also not bad guys, but there are two examples from ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''. In the first Lord Voll and his giant bird get run through by a giant ground-to-air crossbow bolt. Since the bird is in flight at the time and also carrying Cutter and Ember, this gives them a bumpy landing. Shortly afterward in a climactic battle scene Cutter gets speared through the gut and subsequently lives. Artist Wendy Pini once joked that she did it so they could put a pencil sharpener in the character's action figure.
