* The DUP in general. You think our government is scary? Imagine a government agency who is basically given a carte blanche to torture a small town of people for information, can quarantine an entire city for three escape criminals, and who can arrest anyone without due process to be taken away for experiments that The Third Reich would be envious of. And the best part is, thanks to the first game and the comics they are not the only government agency that committed these crimes against humanity.

** Evil Delsin's Smoke powers kill people by essentially incinerating them from the inside out, leaving only ash and smoke, while Evil Delsin's Neon powers kill people by sending energy ''into'' them, causing them to ''boil'' internally until they pop like water balloons.

* The Paper Trail DLC ''definitely'' has it's moments - including one video you find on an extremist website that shows [[spoiler:a man being tied inside a garbage bag and beaten to death as he pleads for his life]]. Oh, and that's done with real actors, not video game characters made of pixels. ''Jesus.''

* Evil Delsin. He might not be as powerful as Cole, but his {{power copying}} ability has practically unlimited potential, and his attacks can [[DisintegratorRay vaporize]] people, something that Cole's attacks never did.
* The aftermath of Augustines' visit. People having concrete going through them, their organs, and even '''skulls'''. They will die, unless somebody gets the stuff out. Something that cannot be done with surgery. And even if it was removed, the long term damage is still horrifying.

* For Hero players, during the fight with Augustine on the island, when some D.U.P. soldiers storm the field after Augustine briefly flees. Almost no matter what you do, Delsin's attacks will dust whoever he hits with them in much the same way the Evil versions of his Smoke attacks would. It's a good, if horrifying, look at exactly how much Delsin is holding back under normal circumstances. Furthermore, if you somehow manage to knock down some of the soldiers and try to simply incapacitate them? NonstandardGameOver - Mission Failed. That's right - you aren't even ALLOWED to be a good guy for this one. Mr. Rowes is pissed, and when Mr. Rowe is pissed, '''no-one gets out alive.'''

* Consider the encounter that Delsin had in the tunnel on the way to Seattle. There are non-Conduits who are so paranoid about "Bio-Terrorists" that the slightest hint that somebody might be one that they'd shoot to kill immediately. Yes, Delsin's arms were smoking, and yes, he was a Conduit, but imagine if circumstances had been different. What if a normal person with a partially burnt piece of clothing (or something else vaguely implying powers) ran into the same people, only to trigger the same reaction? The poor soul would have been gunned down out of sheer paranoia.
