History MamaBear / ComicBooks

*** Speaking of Psylocke, Kwannon (whom she performed GrandTheftMe on) is a MamaBear to her long lost daughter and withholding from her mother [[UnstoppableRage is a big mistake]] as ComicBook/MisterSinister learned first hand in the more recent ''ComicBook/{{Hellions}}'' comic.

** ComicBook/{{Jubilee}} herself [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/da11de5251e0461ad8e8ec408561c672/tumblr_nbtb2mZcCT1r2qd6xo2_1280.jpg shows it here]] when her adoptive son Shogo is threatened; while she can control her vampiric bloodlust most of the time, this proves nearly an exception, and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, of all people, has to reason with her.

*** But then played straight when ComicBook/{{Jubilee}} starts having nightmares about ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}, who is being held on the grounds at the time. Jean confronts the captive Sabretooth, walks in to his cell, and proceeds to ''break every bone in his body without lifting a finger.'' Don't threaten Jean's family. Just don't.

* ComicBook/CarolDanvers occasionally shows a MamaBear streak, especially in regards to her protégée [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]], and Jessica Drew’s son Gerry whom she is a loving HonoraryAunt to. There’s also Jason Aaron’s ''Avengers'' run where Carol and Tony have to play surrogate parents to the infant Brandy Selby, when a Ghost Rider-possessed ComicBook/MoonKnight tries to take her away, Carol’s BerserkButton is triggered and she breaks out his CombatTentacles and pulls off a SpeedBlitz.

** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} has moment of this while looking after Shogo for Jubilee in ''X-Men Vol. 4 #6'', cradling the baby in one arm and brandishing a Psionic-fail in the other, [[OneWomanArmy all while wrecking shop]]. Even when Shogo poops his diaper, Betsy jokes being a mom is easy.

** It comes into play again in ComicBook/YoungAvengers when Kang threatens her. She attacks him and steals his weapon, telling him to never threaten a pregnant woman. Later, when the changes to the timeline temporarily erases her pregnancy, she attacks him again, demanding to know what he did with her baby.

** In [[ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade The Children's Crusade]], [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda]] was all set to sit back and let the X-Men do whatever they wanted to her. Then Emma Frost [[TooDumbToLive tried to]] [[BerserkButton mind control Wanda's kids]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero into going with the X-Men]].

** During the events of ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', she gives Dani to Jarvis for safekeeping while she helps [[ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire her husband]] fight the bad guys. When she discovers that Jarvis was actually a skrull who has kidnapped her daughter, she goes on a rampage trying to find her.

* ComicBook/SpiderWoman (Jessica Drew) becomes this to her own infant son Gerry, even when [[PregnantBadass heavily pregnant]] she went OneWomanArmy on an army of Skrulls before getting a C-Section. When Gerry is born Jessica makes it clear anything or anyone who endangers her precious baby boy will be in for a worse beatdown than normal, as the poor, poor dumbass B-list villain Razorback discovered [[NoHoldsBarredbeatdown first hand]].

*** She once delivered the [[MindRape psychic equivalent]] of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to ComicBook/MsMarvel after the Avenger tried to use the deaths of Emma's students as leverage to get the X-Men to join ComicBook/IronMan's team during ''Comicbook/CivilWar''.

*** In ''X-Men Unlimited #4'' she sacrifices herself while dangling off a waterfall by letting go off the rope to save Kurt, whose shocked that she actually cares for him (given she did toss him away as a baby [[note]] although at least one comic has {{retcon}}ned Kurt’s birth by having Mystique collapse while fleeing with her newborn, causing Kurt to by swept away by a nearby river [[/note]])

** Rahne Sinclair Wolfsbaine from ''ComicBook/XForce'' becomes this towards her son/cub Tier. While she was scared and repulsed by him at first due to the unnatural birth, she soon comes to love him and will happily reduce ''anyone'' who means him harm to bloody shreds. [[spoiler: This makes Tier’s fate all the upsetting as TheSouless Guido Carosella aka Strong Guy kills him in front of Rahne, in what must be a mother’s worst nightmare causing her to go on a UnstoppableRage against her former teammate.]]

* ComicBook/ScarletWitch [[ComicBook/HouseOfM remade the world]] to save her sons. She also kicks ass in ''ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade'' with said kids.
** In [[ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade The Children's Crusade]], [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda]] was all set to sit back and let the X-Men do whatever they wanted to her. Then Emma Frost [[TooDumbToLive tried to]] [[BerserkButton mind control Wanda's kids]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero into going with the X-Men]].
--->'''Wanda:''' Auntie Emma, you might want to check with their ''mother'' first... because I hear she can be a real ''bitch''. ''(blasts Emma Frost in the face)''
*** She then proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle kick the asses]] of all of the Avengers and X-Men, knocking all of them unconscious in the space of ten seconds or less, because you ''do not'' put her sons in danger. Later, when joining her power to Billy's to open a portal, she tells him that there is always a price to pay for magic and that ''she'' will be the one to pay it -- she was willing to let the magic burn her up in exchange for the lives she ruined and Billy getting out unscathed.

* Princess Sally Acorn in ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' punches Fiona Fox in the stomach when she tries to manipulate Tails' feelings again.
* From ''Comicbook/BlueBeetle:'' Bianca Reyes, for her superpowered son, Jaime.

* Kate Spencer AKA Comicbook/{{Manhunter}} will kill anyone who hurts her son.
* In {{ComicBook/Monstress}}, despite repeatedly denying caring for her at all, Maika is not a nice person when Kippa is threatened.

* Comicbook/SpiderMan:

* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** Kara's mother Alura In-Ze is fiercely protective of her daughter and -- in the ''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'' universe -- is a trained soldier. So beware. In the ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' storyline she stopped a [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] who tried to invade Supergirl's mind and demanded that she leave her daughter alone.
** In ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'', Linda was willing to let the universe fall apart if her daughter wasn't spared from being retconned.

** And these traits got passed down to their son and his wife, ComicBook/LoisLane, when they had their son, Jonathan. When the Eradicator tried to murder Jon in ''Comicbook/SupermanRebirth'' because he wasn't a pure-blood Kryptonian and Superman was taken out of the picture temporarily, Lois discovers and [[https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/lois-lane-wears-the-hellbat-against-the-eradicator-2.jpg dons]] Franchise/{{Batman}}'s old Hellbat Armor (an armor designed to take on Comicbook/{{Darkseid}}) and helps [[https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/lois-lane-wears-the-hellbat-against-the-eradicator-3.jpg protect]] her son until Supes is back in action.

* In ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'', Adeline Wilson takes this to a pretty scary level. After her husband, [[ProfessionalKiller Slade]] lands their son Jericho in a hostage situation (that ends with their child being rendered permanently mute due to his throat being slit), Adeline shoots Slade in the head. Another, even more extreme example (Though it may not count since [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity she had just gained super powers that made her so psycho]]) occurred when she tried to destroy every super powered person in the '''world''' to [[spoiler: avenge Jericho's death.]]

* ''ComicBook/XMen''

** Comicbook/{{X 23}} herself has a BigSisterInstinct version of this with her little sister/clone Gabby. Harm Gabby or even ''threaten'' to do her harm, and she will immediately forget her current [[ThouShaltNotKill stance against killing]] ''and '''will''' end you''. Laura very nearly tore Comicbook/OldManLogan to shreds when she though he had killed Gabby. When Gabby is later endangered by [[spoiler:the Brood]] in issue 22, Laura ignores [[Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Rocket's]] warnings to run away, and instead tries to ''cut her way through the entire horde'' to save her.

*** In ''X-Men Unlimited #4'' she sacrifices herself while dangling off a waterfall by letting go off the rope to save Kurt, whose shocked that she actually cares for him (given she did toss him away as a baby [[note]] although at least one comic has [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] Kurt’s birth by having Mystique collapse while fleeing with her newborn, causing Kurt to by swept away by a nearby river [[/note]])

** ComicBook/{{Mystique}} is even [[EvilMatriarch less motherly]] then Emma but, once in a blue moon i.e DependingOnTheWriter she does show genuine care for her adoptive daughter ComicBook/{{Rogue}} and her biological son ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}. [[OffingTheOffspring Averted hard]] with her other son Graydon though.

* ComicBook/SpiderWoman (Jessica Drew) becomes this to her own infant son Gerry, even when [[PregnantBadass heavily pregnant]] she went OneWomanArmy on an army of Skrulls before getting a C-Section. When Gerry is born Jessica makes it clear anything or anyone who endangers her precious baby boy will be in for a worse beatdown than normal, as the poor, poor dumbass B-list villain Boar discovered [[NoHoldsBarredbeatdown first hand]].

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': Diana [[https://www.amazonarchives.com/wp-content/uploads/sensation-comics-38-page-12.jpg has]] [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11134/111349883/6397058-0928012882-RCO00.jpg a]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcR-xcyZ41nqPgLEOw5rE1GVVtdvAF268UIoQQ&usqp=CAU strong]] [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2jjjz3gyMb0/UT3-fOBU7aI/AAAAAAAAAao/7JMdSNRgd48/s1600/ww17.jpg Mama]] [[http://superman.marianobayona.com/bbww64.jpg Bear]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSckvD7WviGPS0ovn864a_TBWCXC_cbdwlXAQ&usqp=CAU streak]] fuelled by her [[FriendToAllChildren love of children]]. Also unlike her Justice League colleagues who hold to ThouShallNotKill, since her DarkerAndEdgier revamp Diana believes anything that hurts the innocent should be dealt with using lethal force. So any foe [[TooDumbToLive suicidal enough]] to hurt children around Diana will usually be swiftly turned into mincemeat by a [[BerserkButton pissed off]] [[SemiDivine Demi-Godesss]]. One of the many reasons why ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}''-Wonder Woman was such a shocking change for Diana was because she mercilessly killed children something that is abhorrent to [[MirrorUniverse present universe]] Wonder Woman.
** Diana likely inherits this from Hippolyta who is a former LadyOfWar current protective ActionMom for her.
** In ''ComicBook/SensationComicsFeaturingWonderWoman: Generations'' Hippolyta takes a glance in her mirror to see what her daughter is up to after debating with herself over whether or not it would be acceptable to spy on her for a moment. When she sees that Diana is currently wounded and fighting it out with ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} while surrounded by flame she jumps into one of the Amazons' cloaked jets and flies over to protect her daughter and put an end to the fight.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Circe's dangerously obsessive over [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes her daughter Lyta]], especially after Wonder Woman emphasized Lyta was the one person on Earth who unconditionally loved her despite her nasty personality. As such, she becomes thoroughly vicious to anyone who threatens her relationship with Lyta or Lyta herself, to the point she manipulated many of Wonder Woman's enemies including Veronica Cale.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'': (where the Amazons are [[AdaptationalJerkass far less heroic and much more violent than usual]]) shows it doesn't even have to be children for Diana, as she at one point set up a male colony in [[LadyLand Themyscira]] and when she discovered that conservative Amazons had massacred them. Diana went ''apeshit'' at the loss of her "brothers".
** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'': The stolen daughter motivation that is always switched over to a different Wondy villain with each revamp (and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 originally]] belonged to Paula von Gunther) goes to Veronica Cale this time around, and she is by far the most driven, clever and ruthless in her attempts to get her daughter back, which makes it all the more heartbreaking when it turns out retrieving her daughter would kill her.

* ''ComicBook/{{Huntress}}'' (Helena Bertinelli) demonstrates this when her students are threatened. With added holding villains off rooftops for fun! Just to give some context, what makes the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown she gives to Yasemin after Yasemin threatens to kill Hel's students so disturbing (and so awesome) is the DissonantSerenity of Hel's thought captions. She's screaming at Yasemin as she beats her with the aerial antenna she had torn off the rooftop of the building they were standing on, but her thoughts seem totally calm:
-->'''Huntress:''' Sure, I COULD have used the crossbow to take her out with minimal fuss. But she threatened my KIDS. She has to be made to see the CONSEQUENCES of that.
* Kate Spencer AKA Comicbook/{{Manhunter}} will kill anyone who hurts her son.
* ComicBook/SpiderWoman (Jessica Drew) becomes this to her own infant son Gerry, even when [[PregnantBadass heavily pregnant]] she went OneWomanArmy on an army of Skrulls before getting a C-Section. When Gerry is born Jessica makes it clear anything or anyone who endangers her precious baby boy will be in for a worse beatdown than normal, as the poor, poor dumbass B-list villain Boar discovered [[NoHoldsBarredbeatdown first hand]].
--> '''Jessica''': There's a baby right here you [[SymbolSwearing #$@%]] moron. '''[[HandBlast RAZAT!]]''' My baby. And if you think-- '''[[WrittenSoundEffect KRAK]]''' -- your stupid getaway-- '''KRAK''' -- is more important -- '''WHACK''' -- than the life of ''my child'' -- '''KRAK''' -- then you're about to think again.
* ''ComicBook/MsTree'':
** Michael Tree, the heroine, will go medieval on the ass of anyone who threatens her stepson Mike or, later, her daughter Melody.
** And her EvilCounterpart, mob boss Dominique Mureta, is equally violent in the defense of her daughter.
* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': They're sisters, really, but Rarity and Applejack are both understandably highly motivated to rescue the Crusaders from the Changelings.
** When the Mane 6 finally get to rescuing the CMC in issue #4, Rainbow Dash is shown to be protecting Scootaloo as frequently as the above sister pairings. Consider that continuity-wise, this arc pre-dates "Sleepless in Ponyville" where the relationship was made more explicit.

* ComicBook/SheHulk much like her [[ComicBook/TheHulk cousin]] is a BruiserWithASoftCenter who doesn’t take kindly to her loved ones getting hurt or just innocents in general being endangered. For one example in ''Sensational She-Hulk #5'' Jen comes across [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/60SzxyUuyIGN29ktrCx6SVIb4XzLXDNQ9iTOwZ0SbRo_H5gG6OSCCB78QAE2Y-DD7uWWERPUF9Zw=s1600 a T-Rex about to chomp down on a little boy named Paul]], [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/wlHq3SoKuTn9LFe_iFtH1O119VCWyyHeOAzu9gWcwnqEnecsM6ZxxrUma5Ssh8s26xaTXsratzp4=s1600 so naturally she grabs it by the tail just before it bites the kid]], [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/0TZOHp5uglzCYdg4LPJVt8NNFfnZcEnjQNouds75z0-AxyaFq-_sNK15X4h8fWgnYZdzo4cpBJJZ=s1600 swings it around and then throws the Tyrannosaurus away before checking to see if Paul is alright]].

** Sure, her son's one of the most powerful non-god beings on the planet, but do NOT mess with Superman when Ma Kent is around. She probably won't be of much use, but damn if she won't try. Pa Kent'll provides backup as a PapaWolf - and ''he's'' got military experience.

* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** Kara's mother Alura In-Ze is fiercely protective of her daughter and -in the ''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'' universe- is a trained soldier. So beware. In the ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' storyline she stopped a [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] who tried to invade Supergirl's mind and demanded that she leave her daughter alone.
** In ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'', Linda was willing to let the universe fall apart if her daughter wasn't spared from being retconned.

* ComicBook/JessicaJones is this if her daughter, Dani, is threatened.
** This trope first comes into play when the [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]] attacks her while she's pregnant. She freaks out, thinking he's killed her unborn baby, grabs his gilder from beneath him while he's in the air and then wallops him with it. Spider-Man's reaction is "Whoa."
** It comes into play again in ComicBook/YoungAvengers when Kang threatens her. She attacks him and steals his weapon, telling him to never threaten a pregnant woman. Later, when the changes to the timeline temporarily erases her pregnancy, she attacks him again, demanding to know what he did with her baby.
** During the events of ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', she gives Dani to Jarvis for safekeeping while she helps [[ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire her husband]] fight the bad guys. When she discovers that Jarvis was actually a skrull who has kidnapped her daughter, she goes on a rampage trying to find her.
** In ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'', when ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan confronts Jessica and Luke while they're with Dani, they arrange for a babysitter to pick her up, then start whaling on him for putting her daughter in harm's way. Despite Peter explaining the whole deal with ComicBook/DoctorOctopus [[FreakyFridayFlip taking over his body]], it took a while for Jessica and Luke to forgive him.
* From ''Comicbook/BlueBeetle:'' Bianca Reyes, for her superpowered son, Jaime.
-->"[[http://i41.tinypic.com/11j7v5e.jpg Is. That. A. Giant. Green. Fist?]]"
** Brenda's mom is dead, but her aunt, Amparo, fits the bill even before she got PromotedToParent. [[spoiler:She's actually the mob boss La Dama, and had Brenda's [[AbusiveParents abusive dad]] murdered for putting her in the hospital]].
* One of the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Italian Donald Duck stories]] has Donald and his nephews searching for escaped animals in a polar setting. Donald finds a kangaroo and learns it's a mother when her [[BrattyHalfPint baby joey]] hits Donald with two snowballs. An angry Donald then slaps the baby, only to get pounded hard by the angry mother kangaroo.
* In ''ComicBook/TheUnfunnies'', Birdseed Betty is forced to make ends meet by servicing her landlord Jungle Jim after her husband Moe the Crow goes to jail for owning child pornography. Jungle Jim eventually raises Birdseed Betty's ire by asking that they engage in group sex with her children, which drives her to beat him to death with a strap-on.
* Princess Sally Acorn in ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' punches Fiona Fox in the stomach when she tries to manipulate Tails' feelings again.

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'': When Hippolyta's son Daniel is taken to be the next incarnation of Dream, she loses her mind and [[spoiler: recruits the Furies to take revenge on the original Dream, leading to his death]]. To be fair to Hippolyta, she only goes this far when she thinks Dream ''burned her son to death''. When she realizes that Daniel is still alive (only his mortality was burned away), she tries to get the Furies to stop their attack and help her get him back saying that they don't have to kill Dream. The Furies tell her that they don't help, they avenge, and continue on their campaign unabated.

** Ororo Munroe aka ComicBook/{{Storm}} plays this straighter than most other female X-Men, and it's especially evident in her early days concerning Kitty Pryde as anyone who dares hurt her precious "Kitten" is in for the wrath of the elements (e.g [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/d7HTqhct56YLmuLjBI_k8ogSWjWO9L6u11g2nkVI5NsYFPYQrbdrtXEtzO-Eqzzzphmnoxy2cE7n=s1600 Caliban]] and [[https://i.imgur.com/a5HqR3T.jpg Magneto]]). Storm's maternal instincts extend to [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZZOw3rl0Mys/VgBmHrGhgHI/AAAAAAAAOEg/hzq1sPyGay4/s1600/X-MEN185_15b.jpg Rogue]], [[http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/4653635642_f2edefa9ce.jpg Jubilee]] and the sole mutant in Wankada besides herself [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/4/40042/2827612-dropping_temp_in_a_gun_by__200_degrees.jpg Nezhno]].

** Comicbook/{{X 23}} herself has a BigSisterInstinct version of this with her little sister/clone Gabby. Harm Gabby or even ''threaten'' to do her harm, and she will immediately forget her current [[ThouShaltNotKill stance against killing]] ''and '''will''' end you''. Laura very nearly tore Comicbook/OldManLogan to shreds when she though he had killed Gabby.

* Comicbook/{{X 23}} has become this herself in ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine''. Do ''not'' hurt or threaten her little sister Gabby. Laura nearly killed Old Man Logan when she thinks he's killed her, and very well might have gone through with it if Gabby hadn't stopped her. When Gabby is later endangered by [[spoiler:the Brood]] in issue 22, Laura ignores [[Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Rocket's]] warnings to run away, and instead tries to ''cut her way through the entire horde'' to save her.

** And she shot her own sister in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' after said sister's actions resulted in the death of Everett, one of her students.
** The reason she gave ComicBook/{{X 23}} such a hard time when she first arrived at the Institute was because she thought X-23 was a danger to the other students. Since X-23 is a TykeBomb with a body count to her name and goes berserk when exposed to a certain chemical trigger that the Weapon Plus program still has (which is so indoctrinated into her brain that Emma can't undo the conditioning), Emma isn't exactly wrong. She definitely [[KickTheDog Kicked The Puppy]] when she [[spoiler: tormented X-23 with visions of the mother figure X-23 killed under the influence of the trigger scent]] to show X-23 that she didn't belong at the Institute...but later she does come around though, as she eventually sees that X-23 is just another student who needs her protection. In fact, she finds Kimura (X-23's abusive former 'handler') and [[spoiler: erases her only happy memories before sending Kimura to kill everyone at the Facility, starting with the poor SOB who kidnapped her pupil Mercury]]. Don't frak with Frost.
*** It's come to the point where almost any time Emma makes an appearance in a book focusing on X-23, it's so that the latter can serve as Emma's MoralityPet.
** Her first class of pupils (but one) were murdered (the Hellions), and then Everett and Angelo from her second class (Generation X), then the entire third class (in Genosha)...and then she lost a big chunk of her fourth class (45 students at Xavier's school where she was the headmistress), mostly because of the [[PutOnABus School Bus]] [[KilledOffForReal of death]].
** She once delivered the [[MindRape psychic equivalent]] of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to ComicBook/MsMarvel after the Avenger tried to use the deaths of Emma's students as leverage to get the X-Men to join Comicbook/IronMan's team during ''Comicbook/CivilWar''.
** This characterization is kept in the ''Anime/XMen'' anime, where she is ''very'' protective of Hisako/Armor.

--> '''Jessica''': There's a baby right here you [[SymbolSwearing #$@%]] moron. '''[[HandBlast RAZAT!]]'''. My baby. And if you think-- '''[[WrittenSoundEffect KRAK]]''' -- your stupid getaway-- '''KRAK''' -- is more important -- '''WHACK''' -- than the life of ''my child'' -- '''KRAK''' -- then you're about to think again.

Diana went ''apeshit'' at the loss of her "brothers".

* Atom Eve from ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' becomes this to her and the protagonist's baby Terra, yet ironically despite being a nuclear-powered ActionGirl, Eve during pregnancy actually ''lets herself be vulnerable'' since using her powers will harm the baby in her womb. When her daughter is born, Eve plays this even straighter [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/6B2YF9LxZkTq0DY5lGGqkG86J49oCDKsrJ0vyNOUgUZUXsVI8W8CTFQJd7OZkQ1UY9bX6Knc7i__=s1600 seen when Allen's bodyguards make to attack Terra]], [[BarrierWarrior Eve puts up a barrier]] yelling for them to get the hell back. Later Eve not only uses her powers to give oxygen to Terra when she stops breathing but when a bunch of aliens attacks her, Mark and Terra while on a family picnic she clutches Terra close while her shooting a HandBlast and PapaWolf Mark rips them apart with SuperStrength.

Also unlike her Justice League colleagues who hold to ThouShallNotKill, since her DarkerAndEdgier revamp Diana believes anything that hurts the innocent should be dealt with using lethal force. So any foe [[TooDumbToLive suicidal enough]] to hurt children around Diana will usually be swiftly turned into mincemeat by a [[BerserkButton pissed off]] Demi-Godesss. One of the many reasons why ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}''-Wonder Woman was such a shocking change for Diana was because she mercilessly killed children something that is abhorrent to [[MirrorUniverse present universe]] Wonder Woman.

** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'' (where the Amazons are far less heroic and much more violent than usual) proves it doesn't even have to be children, as Diana once set up a male colony in [[LadyLand Themyscira]] and when she discovered that conservative Amazons had massacred them. Diana went ''apeshit'' at the loss of her "brothers".

* ''ComicBook/BlackCanary'': Dinah has a soft spot for children in general and will give extra helpings of pain to anyone responsible for endangering or harming them. But that's nothing compared to what she did and was ready to do for the League of Assassins members responsible for kidnapping her adopted daughter Sin.

* Joanna "Jo" Baker from ''ComicBook/Duster2015'' will [=PULL=] A [=GUN=] on any Nazo who holds her daughter at gunpoint.
