*** While Karness Murr's body died long time ago, he was able to cling to life by binding his spirit to the Muur Talisman, which could [[DemonicPossession possess whoever wore it, unless the wearer had a very strong will]], making him the very last of the original Sith Lords who split from the Jedi Order more than 7000 years ago.
*** At the end of the series, with the death of his uncle Nat, protagonist Cade Skywalker is the last living descendant of Luke Skywalker.
*** In Vol. 2, Darth Wredd becomes the last living Sith after slaughtering the rest of the One Sith in his attempt to re-establish the Rule of Two.

** Kal-El is sometimes the last Kryptonian. However, for much of the pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}} era, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, who first appeared in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton1959'', ComicBook/KryptoTheSuperdog (who, to be fair, is a dog), the bottle city of Kandor, and numerous villains from the Phantom Zone (among others) mitigated this status. Superman's ComicBook/PostCrisis {{Retool}} attempted to make Superman Last Of His Kind again, but success of the characters means you'll still see some other Kryptonians pop up from time to time (mainly Supergirl and Krypto).

* Rosebud the basselope from ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' is the last remaining basselope, a crossbreed of [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction a basset hound and an antelope]]. (The others died out due to high blood pressure from clogged arteries because they were fond of Pop Tarts and ate them with too much butter.)

** In a [[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Bronze Age]] storyline, Superman and Supergirl come upon Kryptonite Man, the last member of a race that inhabited Krypton long ago.
** The ComicBook/MartianManhunter is the last of the Green Martians, although another was teased in ComicBook/BrightestDay who turned out to be an AxCrazy murderess and he flew her into the sun, and another is still around as a disembodied psychic essence possessing a shark. There were also some White Martians brainwashed into believing they were Green, and Miss Martian, perhaps the White Martian who's actually nice, who is now erased from existence. Note that in this case the last-of-his-kind backstory dates back only to 1988; [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks when the character first appeared in 1955]], there was clearly a thriving society back on Mars, and the only reason he couldn't return was because Martian technology could not yet replicate the teleportation device that brought him to Earth.

** Another Legionnaire, Blok, is the last survivor of the planet Dryad.
** And, for a while, Kyle Rayner was the last ComicBook/GreenLantern.
** And Ganthet, the one who gave him his Ring, was the last of the Guardians of the Universe. Then a group of new Guardians were brought to life. They got whittled down, one by one, until Sinestro finally killed absolutely all of them, save Ganthet and his mate Sayd. However, there are several more of their species still alive and working with the Green Lantern Corps. But they're not calling themselves the Guardians of the Universe.
*** Before that, Appa Alli Apsa, also known as the Old Timer, was the last of the Guardians, not because the others had died, but because they had [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence left for another dimension]]. The Old Timer couldn't take it, and the others had to come back to stop him.
** [[CaptainPatriotic American Eagle]] in ''[[ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Captain Carrot And The Final Ark]]'' is the last bald eagle in the United Species of America.
** Kilowog, another Green Lantern, is now the last of his species. There was a HopeSpot when he was able to fit all sixteen billion life energies of his home world's inhabitants into his ring when his home world was destroyed and released them on another planet, but that planet was destroyed by Sinestro while Kilowog wasn't there to save them.
** [[ComicBook/{{Huntress}} Helena Bertinelli]] is the last of the Bertinellis, who were once the dominant of Gotham's Five Families. The Bertinelli name is still highly respected in Gotham's underworld, however, and Huntress uses that to her advantage.

*** In ''[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superman: The Man of Steel]]'' Annual #5, Kaleb is the last survivor of Hydros as his people were wiped out by the Empire.
*** In ''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman: Shadow of the Bat]]'' Annual #4, He-Who-Dares, the embodiment of all evil, is the last sentient being in the entire universe as it approaches heat death 33 billion years after the Big Bang (approximately 19-20 billion years in the future).
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
*** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'' & ''ComicBook/ComicCavalcade'': Badra and her three followers are the only survivors of the destruction of their home planet Hator.

No other Velosians are known to have survived.
** In the ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'' series from 1992, Kiki, a young adult orphan who had been adopted by Johnny Thunder, turned out to be the last of the Bahdnesians (from whom Johnny received the power to summon Yz the Thunderbolt), whose island had been deserted and taken over by someone else to become a vacation spot while using slave labor in secret.
** In ''ComicBook/ArakSonOfThunder'', Arak's ally Satyricus was the last remaining Satyr.

** ''ComicBook/ThePhantomZone'': Thul-Kar is the last of the Wizards of Juru. Born in an uncharted Kryptonian valley, Thul-Kar's race studied magic and practiced secret rituals until they were blown up together with Krypton. Only Thul-Kar survived because he heeded Jor-El's warnings and travelled into the Phantom Zone of his own volition.

* Like in the games, Knuckles the Echidna is the last echidna left in ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic''. Well, aside from [[AlbinosAreFreaks Dr. Zachary]], who was able to exploit this to manipulate Knuckles for his own purposes.
