** BewareTheNiceOnes: In the finale, in order to resolve the conflict between humanity and the Cylons, the Final Five have to share memories to give the Cylons what they want. Problem is, one of them killed another's wife. [[Tory tries to emphasize that they need to just live and let live before they start the process, but when Tyrol learns that she killed Callie, he pulls out and strangles her to death then and there, a look of pure anger, rage, and hate on his face.]]

** Dragons have a boosted one of these in a prestige class called the Bloodscaled Fury. It's compared to a barbarian's rage as a barbarian's rage is to a child's temper tantrum.
** There's also the Tainted Raver template, which is a person driven mad by the taint mechanic. Basically, they're permanently raging, but with the ability to do anything their class could normally do, like spellcasting.

* Mirta from Winx Club is referred to as creating "illusions powered by emotions". When the Trix try to kill Stella, Musa, Flora, and Tecna, Mirta rages out and conjures up a gigantic nightmare thing in front of them; not only does it scare the bejeezus out of Stormy and Darcy (which causes their spells to fail and free the Winx), but even Mirta gets a little freaked out by what she's done. Good thing she's a wallflower most of the time . . .

** In fact, after the multitude of lesbian hook-ups, the post-first-season fanfiction storyline that was most popular was Mirta letting all her anger out and leaving huge trails of traumatized teenagers and scared-literally-to-death corpses in her wake; most of them had her only using illusions to accomplish all this.

* AudieMurphy, then a corporal in WorldWarII, had his best friend shot and killed by a member of a German machine gun crew [[ISurrenderSuckers pretending to surrender to him]]. Murphy proceeded to ''flip out'', [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge single-handedly killing the entire crew before turning their weapons on their every ally within the area]], which included two other machine gun nests and several snipers. What makes this more badass was the fact that Murphy was around five-foot-five, weighed about 110 pounds, and was suffering from malaria at the time.
** What's more amazing is that ''he did something like this again,'' although the second time around was more of the TranquilFury variety. In a French battle about six months later, by this time Second Lieutenant, after having sent the remaining 19 of his original unit of 128 men to retreat and take cover, he jumped onto a disabled tank and proceeded to use the .50 cal machine gun to hold off the approaching Germans ''for an hour'' during which time he was shot in the leg [[ImmuneToBullets but kept going.]] The day before, he had also [[OnlyAFleshWound taken some shrapnel]] from a mortar that had killed two nearby men in his unit. And that reportedly the tank was ''[[IncendiaryExponent on fire]]'' at the time he leaped onto it.

The eyeshield 21 example using Gaou isn\'t quite an example. His strength doesn\'t increase any more than usual, and in fact he reveals within pages to be completely in control.


* In ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}''. After Taiyou's defeat against the Hakushuu Dinosaurs, a stupid fan (recurring JerkAss background character Satoshi of Deimon's soccer team) mocked one of Taiyou's offensive linemen, Banba, who was beaten brutally by [[BloodKnight Gaou Rikiya]] despite his best effort. [[BerserkButton This pissed off Gaou]], who admired Banba's determination, and he demand the idiot to show himself. When the coward didn't show up, [[KillEmAll he decided to just completely freak out on the spectators until the guy fessed up]]. Luckily, Riku saves the day by taking the blame (although Gaou can see that Riku didn't say that, he let it off, impressed by Riku's courage).
** Is also subverted numerous times such as when [[spoiler: Tetsuma charges at Gaou after he severely injures Kid and is still soundly defeated]]

** Another example happened during the "Back In Black" story arc following ''Comicbook/CivilWar''. Aunt May lay dying after taking a sniper's bullet meant for Spider-Man. Donning his black costume, Spider-Man tracked down the man responsible, The Kingpin (who was serving prison time at that point), broke into the prison, confronted The Kingpin and then proceeded to give him a very savage beatdown. No jokes, No quips. He ends it by threatening to fill Kingpin's throat with enough webbing to kill him if he ever comes for Spider-Man again.

** People with autism spectrum disorders, especially children, are infamous for the "meltdowns" they can suddenly fly into. These can include hitting and kicking. In this case the cause is usually not "rage" per se but rather an overwhelming sense of frustration. They are trying to communicate ''something'' but they can't always make themselves understood. But they don't realize this, so from their perspective it seems like everyone is ignoring their problem. To put yourself in their shoes, imagine if a bird kept flying down and pecking you in the head over and over. Everyone else sees it happening but no one stops it, and when you try to complain no one seems to care. Meanwhile that Goddamn bird is still pecking away at you. It wouldn't take long before you started yelling and smashing stuff too.

** Both gamelines' vampires and werewolves, can instead enter Unstoppable ''Terror'' -- known as "Rötschreck" for vampires (either line), or "fox frenzy" for oWOD werewolves -- with the victim fleeing in blind panic from the trigger, tossing aside or shredding anything that stands in the way of doing so. In ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' and ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' it's treated as another facet of the Unstoppable Rage, while ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' treats it as an unrelated phenomenon also originating with the vampire's Beast. In ''Werewolf: the Apocalypse'', shapeshifters experiencing this will normally take their full animal form for speed -- Forsaken's werewolves become the 9-foot tall lupine death machine for either type. ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' has human witnesses freak out ''any'' time they see a werewolf or other shapeshifter in their hybrid form.

* In ''{{Farscape}}'', Luxan males are prone to a condition called hyper-rage, a berserker state in which they'll attack anything else male around them without thought for no reason whatsoever, though older Luxans do develop the control to prevent themselves from entering it in the first place. A later episode suggests that Luxan males in this state will assault ''anyone'', even their own ''spouses'', which is why Luxans are never permitted to marry young and must wait until they've learned to control it.
