* In ''ComicBook/Aquaman1991'', Aquaman buries his own personal trauma in unrelenting service to others and barely stops to eat or sleep. It ends up discussed and deconstructed as even with his powers he'll eventually reach a breaking point, the people of Poseidonis admire him and need help for big disasters but not everyday living, and he eventually learns that it's okay to let go, take time for himself, and relax.
* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'''s post-''Zero Hour'' continuity gave Leviathan (Colossal Boy) something of this mentality, resulting in tragedy when Shrinking Violet attempts to use the Emerald Eye of Ekron to give her teammates their "hearts' desires". Leviathan's heart's desire turns out to be "to die a hero".
* Yorick from ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan''. He had an actual death wish for a while, being the last man on earth and all, but he got over it after a session of good old-fashioned [[EpiphanyTherapy S&M-themed psychiatric assistance.]]
* Tony "ComicBook/IronMan" Stark's third answer to everything appears to be "Electrocute/asphyxiate/experiment on myself" right after "[[BeamSpam Build more guns]]" and "[[TakingTheBullet Jump in front of the thing being aimed at my]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners better-armored teammate]] [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica famous for his use of a shield.]]" Given the amount of awful shit he's been subjected to, it's quite possible that [[DeathSeeker another trope]] is at play here. Interestingly, the ''Avengers'' film makes this part of his CharacterDevelopment: Captain America initially calls him out on his ''un''-willingness to sacrifice himself (while Stark claims he can always TakeAThirdOption), making [[spoiler:his (almost) sacrifice to save the city from a nuke at the end]] a pretty big turning point for him.
* [[ComicBook/XMen Colossus]] is noted to have this problem in 2014's ''Amazing X-Men'', where the rest of the cast point out/poke fun at his faintly absurd tendency to try and sacrifice himself at the drop of a hat. While this might seem a little cruel, several of the team had died at least once (usually in a HeroicSacrifice), and his habit was beginning to drift towards absurdity. He lampshaded this in his inner monologue while fighting the Juggernaut, and after winning (by [[DeadlyDodging dodging]] as the Juggernaut ran off a cliff), assumed he was about to die and collapsed near the edge... then realized that everyone was patiently waiting for him to get up (they weren't going to lift him up because, as Nightcrawler pointed out, he's their friend, but he's also very heavy).
* ComicBook/{{Cable}}. He made himself a giant target to prove to the world that things could be better if everyone put aside their differences and worked together -- to kill him. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} and his [[SuccessThroughInsanity pesky insanity]]! (Well, the dying part anyway.)
* It seems that, following the ending of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} seeks to be this way. Why? Because he wants to be the martyr for the reborn mutant race
* This is actually a symptom of a personality disorder known as [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Primus_apotheosis Primus apotheosis]] in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW''. The affected individual ends up idolizing [[BigGood Optimus Prime]] ''way'' too much and instead of being merely willing to risk their lives for the sake of others in need, as Prime would, they go out of their way to find even the most minor of 'noble sacrifices' which would cost them their lives. This problem is widespread enough to affect 1 in every 50 Autobots (and the occasional Decepticon). Pyro, in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers'', is called by Autobot psychiatrist Rung "the worst case of Prime apotheosis [I've] ever seen." He spends the entire series obsessing over dying in a blaze of glory or complaining that the various ways the team is about to die aren't great enough. [[spoiler: Ultimately he dies when he's unceremoniously torn limb from limb by a pack of Decepticons during a failed HeroicLastStand]].

** IDW Optimus is a lot better about this in the Death of Optimus Prime oneshot, where he symbolically dies (i.e. gives up the name Optimus Prime) so his Autobots can remain on a restored Cybertron while he is exiled for being a living symbol of the now-ended war. He takes his old name of Orion Pax and immediately begins wandering space, doing good wherever he can like a knight errant. He's actually quite happy since he is no longer weighed down by the TheChainsOfCommanding.
