* Marvel Comics' post-Civil War member of the Thunderbolts, ''named'' Penance, wears a suit made of spikes that charges his pain-based superpowers. Originally, he was the FunPersonified hero Speedball who changed his identity after he thought he had caused an explosion that killed hundreds of people. Even after it was revealed that it wasn't his fault, he kept the suit, and seemed to fall into parody DarkerAndEdgier territory.

* Played straight with a minor Spider-Man character named Sundown. After getting his powers (flight, energy projection, healing factor, etc.) under very traumatic circumstances, he went a little crazy and ending up battling half the heroes in New York City. The fight ended when a young girl he knew tried to calm him down by showing him a plant she'd been growing. She ended up injured and losing an arm, which snapped him back to sanity. Horrified by what he'd done, he surrendered to the authorities and pleaded guilty to all charges, being sentenced to decades in jail. Although he could have left the prison any time he wanted, he chose to stay and rejected all opportunities for parole, viewing the prison sentence as penance.

* ''Manga/ShamanKing'': Chocolove gets himself killed by Seyram and Redseb as a revenge on their part for him having murdered their father in cold blood during his past life as a gang member. After being revived by the Gandhara, despite their powers being able to bring him back to life unharmed, he willingly chooses to go blind as a way to atone for his sins, holding no ill will towards the kids and instead trying to make them smile for his condition. The experience in the afterlife and his formidable sense of smell actually end up favoring him, as he [[CameBackStrong comes back even stronger]] as a HandicappedBadass.

A trope in which a character does something to mark himself and/or inflicts pain upon himself in order to [[TheAtoner atone for a misdeed]]. It is usually physical in nature and can range from cutting and burning, to choking and bruising, along with many, many other methods. One form of this is KeepingTheHandicap, when a character refuses treatment for some condition because he feels he deserved it.

** The church still recommends some sort of mild punishment as another way to observe Lent (let's say for one example, depriving oneself from his or her favorite dessert or TV show or wearing very modest clothing). It can also be spiritual preparation - basically, like being TheHermit, only [[DownplayedTrope toned down]] for everyday practicality. One of the oldest and most widespread Lent penances is avoiding red meat and poultry on Fridays.
