* Clayface had Roland Dagget, who went on to play an outright villain in other episodes.
* Mr. Freeze had been embezzling from Ferris Boyle to keep his terminally ill wife a {{Human Popsicle}}. This ended with Boyle pulling the plug. [[spoiler: In the end, Batman not only stops Freeze, but exposed Boil as a murderer.]]
* The Mad Hatter had a shrill boss whom he [[{{CoolAndUnusualPunishment}} put under mind control and dressed up]] as an {{Ax Crazy}} version of [[{{AliceInWonderland}} The Queen of Hearts]].
* Poison Ivy wanted to off Harvey Dent, of all people, for [[{{Obstructive Bureaucrat}} ok-ing a development job]] that would [[{{GreenAesop}} wipe out a rare species of rose]].
* Rupert Thorn, who usually played {{The Don}}, was instrumental in making Harvey Dent into Two-Face.
* Daniel Mockridge exploited The Riddler for all he was worth and then fired him.

* A lot of 419 scams start with something along the lines of "I am the son of the former dictator/official of [insert horribly misgoverned country here]. If you help me get our wealth out of the country I will give you a cut."

* It's not a murder-mystery, but Steve in the remake of ''DawnOfTheDead'' more than qualifies. When he finally gets [[spoiler: zombified and then shot in the head]] you're likely to cheer.

* Happened in {{Flashpoint}}. In a recent episode, the coach of a renowned college basketball team was verbally abusive to his team, even bullying the rest of the team to physically assault the weaker teammates or the ones that fail. Everyone at the school knew about it, but could not do anything about it. Lampshaded when his attacker, a basketball player, was led out to a police car, students supported him and nodded in sympathy. But once the coach was led out, they immediately turned their backs on him, shaking their heads in disgust.

* One of the early GotMilk? commercials ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnIjgw5A-iI this one]]) starts with an business executive sadistically firing someone over his cell phone as he crosses the street. He's promptly hit by a truck and goes to "heaven" with all the cookies he could want, but all the milk cartons are empty. Guess where he is...

* Taken BeyondTheImpossible with the second victim in ''BioMeat'' an old woman. When we first see her, she's mocking and ridiculing the lead character's mother for daring to not have a husband (It's implied very shortly after that she was previously married and her husband died, or at least ran out on her). Next, we see her berating a neighbor for roof tiles falling into her yard during an earthquake -- then further insulting them for daring to suggest they could '''clean up''' the tiles to make it up to her. Next, when she first sees a Bio Meat, she mistakes it for a pig, and calls Animal Control... and when they turn out to be taking too long, she decides to try to ''stab it to death with a broom handle for no reason''. She gets picked off shortly thereafter, but she's ''still'' not done being an asshole, as she had decided to attack it in front of a little girl, who gets so traumatized by witnessing what happens to the woman that all she can do when the Animal Control officers finally arrive is repeat the MadnessMantra "Little piggy dragged off the big lady..."

* Almost everyone of Agent 47's targets in the {{Hitman}} series is some kind of big-time criminal. Sex traffickers, mobsters, terrorists, and corrupt politicians are just some of 47's victims. However in cutscenes, 47 has murdered a presumably innocent postman to protect his identity, and Requiem in Blood Money has him kill a priest and reporter to protect his identity. In terms of targets, stand out "innocents" are the failed private investigator in that biker level and possibly others like Joseph Clarence (who is probably not a bad person, just an utter failure.) Completely innocent targets are still in the minority by a great margin.

* ''Everyone'' in StephenKing's ''{{Carrie}}'' save Sue Snell (who survives). The famous scene where Carrie kills everyone at the prom is supposed to be NightmareFuel in the book and film, but the effect is [[NightmareRetardant nullified somewhat]] when you are cheering her on.

* In ''LonelyWerewolfGirl'' part of Kalix's BackStory is she killed her father, when readers briefly meet him in a trip to the afterlife it's pretty clear he got off easy with just death.
