* Mr Moss from ''StormHawks''.

* The Warden of ''{{Superjail}}!'' It's not like he's trying to uphold the law or anything. It's mostly because he loves incarceration '''that freaking much.'''

* Lock-Up from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' (and CanonImmigrant to the Comicbook/{{Batman}} comics). In the animated series, Lyle Bolton was once the new Head of Security at Arkham Asylum, but whose methods were so harsh and extreme that everyone at the asylum was afraid of him, particularly Scarecrow. After being relieved of his post, he would go on to "arrest" those who he deemed to be at the root of Gotham's problems, including the mayor, Commissioner Gordon, reporter Summer Gleeson and the chief doctor of Arkham before being stopped by Batman and Robin.

* In ''{{Kanokon}}'', Yatsuka-sensei and the other nonhuman monsters' job is to make sure the nonhuman students stay put and don't break TheMasquerade until they've figured out how to fit in with humans.

** Rumour from ''TheBatman'' is similar.

* One episode of ''{{Gargoyles}}'' turns Goliath into this when he uses Odin's Eye to become a PhysicalGod. The best way to [[LiteralGenie "protect his friends"]] is to seal them in a cave for the rest of time. Nothing can get to them there.

* Faora Hu-Ul was a Phantom Zone villain introduced in ''[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Action Comics]]'' #471.She was a beautiful Kryptonian woman whose unexplained hatred for men led her to torture and kill 23 men at a secret concentration camp in her home.
* Pictured: Lock-Up from ''{{Batman}}''.
* The Master Jailer from ''{{Superman}}'' comics is a sort of example, except he's an out and out villain who just likes the power trips provided by his powers. And of course he's an unusual example because he actually has powers to facilitate his fascination with incarceration.

* In ''{{Kanokon}}'',Yatsuka-sensei and the other nonhuman monsters' job is to make sure the nonhuman students stay put and don't break TheMasquerade until they've figured out how to fit in with humans.

* In the {{Marvel 2099}} universe, the Punisher (2099 version) had his own private prison. Of course, in his {{Cyberpunk}} {{Dystopia}} CrapsackWorld, anyone who could shell out the fine could get away with ''any'' crime, including murder. This made him - relatively speaking - as much an extremist in his world as the original Punisher (who just shoots everybody) was in his. Possibly more so; his prison came with a torture chamber. By the way, he reserved his prison for offenders whose crimes he felt didn't quite deserve the lethal approach; this was actually his idea of mercy!

* Played with in ReBoot when Megabyte imprisons Hexadecimal when he's not exploiting her power. When the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin firewall]] goes up imprisoning Megabyte, Hexadecimal remarks "now it is the jailer who has been jailed."
