* [[http://sharknob.deviantart.com/art/STREET-FIGHTER-DESTINY-DROID-LI-432375710 This]] fanart of [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes Shadow Lady]], a PaletteSwap and WhatIf version of Chun Li. In it, she dies 15 minutes after giving birth to a baby, and it's unknown who the child's father is, as she was dating Dan and Ryu simultaneously. Shadaloo was aware of this, so they decided to steal her body for their own nefarious purposes by turning her into their [[ReforgedIntoAMinion brainwashed]] [[UnwillingRoboticization cybernetic]] [[TheDragon minion]], effectively condemning her to a FateWorseThanDeath. Before her death and transformation into Shadow Lady, Chun-Li routinely foiled Shadaloo's plans at every turn, so it's apparent that she was roboticized in retaliation for her foiling many of their plans. Designed to be the ultimate anti-Interpol weapon, she was sent out by the heinous Shadaloo leader to gather information on her former allies so they too could be turned into mindless cyborgs like Chun-Li was. As Shadow Lady, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul her formerly cheerful personality was obliterated,]] her body's physiology altered so it experienced no emotion apart from being an ruthless and emotionless assassin and serving as M. Bison's right-hand, as it was only fitting that the one constant pain in Bison's side be given this 'honor', and hopefully, turn her into their main pawn against Interpol. In essence, she is a completely different person inhabiting her body and mind, and serves as nothing but a weapon against her former allies. And though she retained her original moves, the enhancements also gave her new abilities, including lasers, RocketBoots, an electric shield and a large drill in her hands. It's unknown how much of her body has been automated, but anybody can speculate that much of it is now robotic, save for a few parts such as her brain, which has been surgically implanted so she only follows Shadaloo's orders through her OdangoHair shaped RobotAntennae at their command through secure radio links. The breathing apparatus covering her mouth gave the appearance of a female DarthVaderClone. Thirty years later, the robot is deployed after extensive training and programming (aside from painstakingly preserving her body), and although others are suspicious that this robotic assassin named Shadow Lady aka Droid Li looks a lot like Chun-Li, they're totally unaware that this ''is'' indeed the body of the fallen Interpol agent, converted into a soulless cybernetic zombie. But the worst part? Her child won't be aware that their mother has been revived as a [[ArchnemesisMom brainwashed and cyborgized machine]]. Also, neither Ryu nor Dan are aware that their [[RoboticSpouse former date]] is now a {{Brainwashed}} RobotGirl. All in all, while Chun-Li is back again, she's now more of an EmptyShell, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia with no record of her old memories]] [[AndIMustScream as they've been]] [[BlankSlate overridden]] with pre-programmed directives ordering her to be a [[ReforgedIntoAMinion killing]] [[RoboticPsychopath machine]] for Shadaloo, and effectively condemning her to a FateWorseThanDeath via DeathOfPersonality, LossOfIdentity and CyberneticsEatYourSoul.

* When Darth Longinus starts fighting in Episode 10 of ''[[https://mega-poneo.deviantart.com/gallery/62840836/Tomica-Hero-Rescue-Pups Tomica Hero Rescue Pups]], he effortlessly slaughters an entire regiment like Darth Vader did in ''Film/RogueOne'', but also stabs the troops through the head, explodes their guns in their faces, throws a sniper round back through its sniper's head, catches missiles and blows them up unharmed, and would have killed Everest afterwards if Skye hadn't shown up.

* ''Beaver Soup'', a '''very''' {{NSFW}} ''WesternAnimation/AngryBeavers'' fanfic that's since been removed. In a ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' universe where humans and cartoon characters coexist, John -- the AuthorAvatar protagonist -- is a paraphiliac [[StalkerWithACrush obsessed with Nobert]]. He moves from New Zealand to a cabin located in the same remote American forest as Norbert and Daggett's home. When his sexual advances are rejected, John [[spoiler:kidnaps Norbert, rapes him, and murders Daggett [[AxeCrazy with]] [[AnAxeToGrind an axe]]. Then -- wanting Nobert all to himself -- he fatally stabs Norbert in the chest, butchers him into soup, and ''[[{{Squick}} turns his corpse into a stuffed body pillow]]''. After [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing what he has done]], John [[DrivenToSuicide commits suicide]]]]. Granted, [[spoiler:it was [[AllJustADream only a dream]]]], but the bleak, graphic imagery and John's psychotic behavior are horrifying.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5942075/38/Reluctant-Hero Reluctant Hero]]'' has a subplot about the spiritual imbalance in the world, since the Avatar was unable to serve as a bridge between the two realms. It's introduced by Sokka, Katara, the Kyoshi Warriors and the children they are keeping safe stranded in a moutain full of jiangshi - hopping zombies sucking the life-force out of you. They're impossible to kill since they're already dead, so they need to be buried in rice, or a sacrifice has to be made to the Moutain Spirit.

** A superhero willing to use letal force going against an Akuma victim without knowing they're possessed and can be cured. Good thing Adrien warned Tony ''before'' he blasted the first Akuma victim he met...

** In the last chapter, an ApocalypticLog reveals how Nightmares were unleashed on the physical world: the island was inhabited by a peaceful civilization, and when travelers came upon their shores, they innocently revealed their ability to dreamwalk. It all spiralled as the traveler's leader wanted a way to physically explore the Dream world, making this also a first-grade {{Tearjerker}}.

* The ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12591880/chapters/28680388 Lila and the Anger Management Class]]'' has a few, mostly centered around Lila... And just how ''twisted'' she is, even when trying to do good deeds:
** When [[AlphaBitch Chloe]] threatens her [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections using the fact she's the daughter of the mayor of Paris]], Lila shows she was recording the conversation, reminds her she's [[MilitaryBrat the daughter of two high-level foreign diplomats]], and [[ShameIfSomethingHappened wonders what would happen if a foreign power were to give the French government evidence the mayor of the capital is abusing his power to spoil his daughter]]... Or, in other words, threatens to ruin the political career of Chloe's father if she doesn't stop using her father's position to get away with everything.
** Lila is later seen talking to Chloe, and admits to Adrien she's basically blackmailing her into being nice... By threatening to ruin Chloe's friendship with Adrien. And she admits it after ''proving she could have''. Her only saving grace is that she plans to admit to Chloe it's a bluff after she had a few days to realize that GoodFeelsGood and told Adrien about it to make herself unable to do so...
** Apparently, Marinette and Adrien used to have nightmares about Volpina, Lila's SuperpoweredEvilSide created by Hawk Moth, even if they are the heroes who defeated her... And after the above incident they fully expect them to resume.
** The fic is named after the anger management class that Gabriel Agreste, upon realizing her temper, offered her because, in Lila's own words, he fears her to snap and turn in a junior high school shooter, even if she says that would never happen... Because all the guns in the Italian embassy (where she lives) are under heavy guard. Good thing she accepted those classes...
** Lila's [[BilingualBonus rant in Italian]] about why she never got those classes before, in which [[spoiler:she calls her father a "sperm donor" and her mother an "incubator" and details how she's going to ''scam'' them into letting her go to the anger management classes]], hints at [[spoiler:[[AbusiveParents her being the victim of severe parental abuse]]]]. Marinette, [[BilingualBackfire who understands Italian thanks to her grandmother]], is obviously unsettled...
* The ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''/''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' crossover ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/7556938/chapters/17188444 What the Cat Dragged In]]'' offers many:
** A superhero willing to use letal force going against an Akuma victim without knowing they're possessed and can be cured. Good thing Adrien warned Tony ''before'' he blasted the first Akuma victim he met...
** The effect Akumatizations could have had on Paris had not the mayor not clamped down on the news.
** Speaking of the mayor, can you imagine what he thought when Nick ''Fury'' showed up in a setting full of {{Meaningful Name}}s and with a supervillain capable of corrupting anyone into a supervillain from moments of emotional weakness? It was PlayedForLaughs, but Andrè Bourgeois all but dragged Nick out of the city limits and started stonewalling SHIELD because he was ''terrified''.
** Clint is scared when he enters Adrien's room... Because there's no mats under his climbing wall. The fact Adrien is not injured in the least doesn't calm him down.
** The powers of the various Akuma victims are reviewed, and they're obviously as scary as in the show. Then there's the Puppeteer, whose power to turn anyone into a minion by enchanting their dolls is made much scarier when Tony pronounces three words: "Hulk action figures".
** The theories on why Papillon targets Marinette and Adrien's school so often: he figured out they're keeping an eye there and is using the place as a trap, or that Alya's determination to find out Ladybug's secret could help him. And he may have had the idea from her revealing to the world she has a history book from that specific school.
** The SHIELD's theory on Papillon's long-term plan to get the Miraculouses: ruin Ladybug and Chat Noir civilian lives and cause them to become vulnerable to Akumatization. Then there's the question of what would happen if he Akumatized a serial murderer or a convicted inmate... Or the fact his habit of targeting whoever helped Ladybug against an Akuma means he may now aim to Akumatize ''Black Widow, Hawkeye or Iron Man''.
*** And Papillon then ''does just that'': when Fury orders the Avengers to pull out before they're targeted, Tony, who has started seeing through the glamour that keep Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities secret, gets angry because he wants to stay and clean up his own mess, and as soon as he leaves the room to try and calm down an Akuma swoops in.
** The potential uses of Cataclysm are brought up. Good thing it's Chat Noir to have it... And not, say, someone willing to drop the Eiffel Tower on someone, as was once done by ''Ladybug''.
