History RoaringRampageOfRevenge / ComicBooks

** Spider-Man has one in ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfJeanDeWolff''. The Sin-Eater is murdering people left and right, and one of his victims is Captain Jean [=DeWolfe=]. As she was one of Spider-Man's friends and supporters, he takes her death very hard and this adventure very personally. Ultimately, Spider-Man finds the Sin-Eater (who has no superpowers, by the way) and brutally beats him to a pulp. If not for ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Spider-Man seemed quite likely to kill him.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': This is done by [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] after the death of her partner, Destiny, by the hands of [[Characters/MarvelComicsLegion Legion]].

** In the ''Grim Hunt'' storyline, the Kravinov family had been messing with Spidey for weeks and eventually killed several of his superpowered friends. Spider-Man goes berserk, taking out the whole clan and even used his wall-crawling grip to tear off a chunk of Sasha Kravinov's face.

** Then there's Creator/MarkMillar's "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." arcs where ComicBook/{{Hydra}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheHand the Hand]], Characters/{{AIM}}, and the upstart group [[{{Cult}} Dawn Of The White Light]], lure Logan in by kidnapping [[spoiler:and killing]] an innocent child. Then they brainwash him and send him after the super-hero community like the weapon he once was. When he gets his mind back, he [[spoiler:reprograms a Sentinel to kill the hundreds of members of the Dawn of the White Light mutant group, then kills thousands of Hand members, then kills 40,000+ Hydra agents, then slices up the dozens of thugs who were tangentially related to just the kidnapping aspect]].

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': This is done by Characters/{{Mystique}} after the death of her partner, Destiny, by the hands of [[Characters/MarvelComicsLegion Legion]].

** Shortly before that story, Marvel had {{retcon}}ned several of its main heroes into [[ComicBook/CivilWar such utter douchebags]] that even though the Hulk was [[DesignatedVillain technically the villain]] of the story, most readers were rooting for him to smash the Illuminati. And even though it was revealed that the main crime -- the explosion of the ship -- was not their fault, ComicBook/DoctorStrange openly admitted that they had been wrong to exile the Hulk and that they probably deserved what they had coming.

** And of course, there was right after the events of ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' when Aunt May is shot by an assassin sent by [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheKingpin the Kingpin]] after Peter exposes his identity to the world. Donning his black costume to let everyone know that [[DarkerAndEdgier he means business]], he tears across New York until finally locating and delivering a huge beatdown on the Kingpin, threatening to finish the job if he can't find a way to save Aunt May (we all know [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay how that turned out]]). In an issue of ''ComicBook/WhatIf'', the assassin shoots (and kills) Mary Jane instead, causing Peter to snap and actually ''kill'' the Kingpin.

** The Marvel event ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' kicked off because a lone villain named Nitro, who is essentially [[HavingABlast a living bomb that can blow up and reform as many times as he likes]], blew up a small town in Connecticut. While all the heroes were slap-fighting each other over federal legislation, guess who it was that hunted down and tried to destroy Nitro for his mass murder?

* The DC AntiHero Characters/{{Deadshot}} goes on one in the second half of his 1988 miniseries. It's a double example, actually; he concludes another one in the first issue, when he finally finds and kills the last remaining guy who abused him in prison.

* Near the end of the comic book series ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', ComicBook/BlackAdam's wife and brother-in-law are killed. As it was the death of his first wife that caused his original fall from grace, it is unsurprising that the death of the second led to him going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, wiping out the country that harbored the murderers, and anybody else that stood in his way. It doesn't end well, though, as the nerdy {{Mad Scientist}}s behind her death soundly kick his ass [[ForScience with SCIENCE]].

* Screw with Franchise/{{Batman}} and you'll either wind up in a hospital for the rest of your life, crying yourself to sleep each night '''or''' want to die immediately due to recurring nightmares involving a half-man, half-bat demon '''or''' go far far into the world and pray to god that he doesn't ever find you again. More than likely, you'll be going through at least two of these after your encounter with him. There's a reason career crime in Gotham breeds mental illness.
** The [[ComicBook/BruceWayneFugitive Murderer/Fugitive]] arc has Bruce framed for the murder of his old love Vesper Fairchild and is wrongly imprisoned ([[PoliceAreUseless score another one for]] the GCPD). Bruce escapes from prison to fight crime as Batman (since his Bruce Wayne persona was slowly slipping away) and cuts off all communication with the rest of the Bat-family. Long story short, as soon as Batman slowly starts picking up the clues of the people who framed him. '''HE. MAKES. THEM. PAY. DEARLY.''' After his fight with the commandos nearly everyone who he fought will need to see a psychiatrist. Or a priest.
** Scarecrow has had a few of these, notably the incidents with his prom and grandmother.
** ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, after seeing his apartment building (with his neighbors inside) blown up and his circus destroyed by Blockbuster, hunted down and brutally [[CurbStompBattle beat down]] every one of his costumed mooks.
*** Nightwing is ''prone'' to this. During ''[[ComicBook/KnightFall KnightsEnd]]'', he tore into Jean-Paul Valley after thinking Bruce was killed by a booby-trapped Batmobile and during ''ComicBook/JokersLastLaugh'', he actually ''[[UnstoppableRage killed]]'' the titular villain when he thought Tim Drake had died.

* ''Comicbook/TheCrow'' by James O'Barr -- When his fiancee is raped and murdered by drugged-up hoodlums, Eric doesn't let the fact that they killed him too get in the way of his Roaring Rampage. Said Rampage is arguably more visceral, violent and over the top than it was in the subsequent movie adaptation, and the actual nature of Eric's literal physical resurrection not explained as clearly.
* The DC AntiHero ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} goes on one in the second half of his 1988 miniseries.
** "Put your hands on the table..."
** It's a double example, actually; he concludes another one in the first issue, when he finally finds and kills the last remaining guy who abused him in prison.

*** On occasion [[CruelMercy he let his enemy live knowing he could come and kill them at his pleasure, and would do so when bored enough]]. Usually it's because the criminal has done something that ''really'' pissed Diabolik off, but in one occasion he spared a group of former victims of his (even skipping the visit to let them know he could kill whenever he wanted) who had stolen his treasure (that is, his favourite loots) for three reasons: they had a legitimate grievance, as Diabolik had accidentally ruined part of their lives; their theft had actually done him a ''favour'', as they had eliminated one of his weaknesses; differently from their ringleader (who ''did'' get killed), they didn't try and kill him.
*** {{Worthy Opponent}}s get away with whatever they did. So far there have been only the unnamed custom guard from "Crime Knows No Border" (a CorruptCop in the pocket of Diabolik's personal fence in the east. As the fence had just died he had lost his main source of income, so he told Diabolik he could either give up the crapload of money he had with him or be arrested for money smuggling while pointing out he had no way to escape, and Diabolik had to accept the defeat) and the man who, in "The Sin of Gustavo Garian", alias [[spoiler:Gustavo Garian himself in his earliest attempt at getting revenge on Diabolik]], kidnapped Eva for ransom and had the sense of getting Diabolik to promise he'd not try and have revenge or even find out his identity ([[IGaveMyWord as Diabolik always keeps his word]]).

** Eva Kant, Diabolik's lover, is less revenge prone... But [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale much more sadistic about it]]: Diabolik will kill you, but Eva will make you ''suffer'' while you die.
** [[BewareTheNiceOnes The nice and inoffensive Gustavo Garian]] never missed a chance to try and get Diabolik arrested or killed for what he did to his family, even [[spoiler: kidnapping Eva to lure Diabolik in an explosive trap faking a ransom ("The Sin of Gustavo Garian". Attempt abandoned in favour of having Diabolik saving Ginko)]], [[spoiler: hiring the best killers in the world to try and murder him ("The Return of Gustavo Garian")]], and ''sicking the most powerful mob boss of a BananaRepublic on him'' ("The Rediscovered Enemy").

** Altea, [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Ginko]]'s fiancee, has engaged in this once: when a mob boss tried to have Ginko killed twice she reacted by hiring a hitman to kill him, and upon realizing Diabolik had replaced the hitman to try and rob the boss she had him promise he'd kill him (Diabolik complied).
** Ginko, being a honest cop, usually [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this, as even when it's personal he will try to get you arrested for the crimes you did. Then the [[WesternTerrorists Grey Ravens]] nearly killed Altea, and it ended with a large number of them dead, either by his gun or by Diabolik's knife ([[EnemyMine as they had joined forces]]).

* Subverted in ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}''. Flycatcher wants to go on one of these after remembering what the Empire's soldiers did to his family, but Boy Blue refuses to teach him the secrets of the Witching Cloak that would let him do this, because he doesn't want to corrupt the only truly innocent Fable left. Ironically, this leads to him taking out the Empire's most powerful magic source, and causing far more damage to the Empire's armies than he ever could have on a RROR without ever killing a single soul.
* Most of the [[Characters/GLRedLanternCorps Red Lantern Corps]] are on one in one form or another, given that their superpowers are fueled by rage driven by loss, and as such that rage tends to fixate on the ones ''responsible'' for that loss. It's also such an overpowering rage that they tend to take down anyone and anything that gets in their way as well. Special mention must go to the Red Lantern of Earth, Dex-Starr. [[UpliftedAnimal He's a housecat, and is trying to avenge the kindly old lady who owned him]].

* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanTheHiketeia'': With the Erinyes' encouragement Danny slaughters her way through the five men most directly responsible for her sister's death. She's first introduced in the story at the tail-end of it actually, killing off the last one.
* The Comicbook/IncredibleHulk goes on one of these in the CrossOver ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk''. Why? The six most influential people in the Marvel Universe sent him into exile on an uninhabited, peaceful planet -- except that he landed on a savage planet that put him through immense hardships before he earned his happy ending. Then the ship he arrived in exploded, nuked the planet, and killed the Hulk's alien wife. Cue rampage.
** Shortly before that story, Marvel had {{retcon}}ned several of its main heroes into [[Comicbook/CivilWar such utter douchebags]] that even though the Hulk was [[DesignatedVillain technically the villain]] of the story, most readers were rooting for him to smash the Illuminati. And even though it was revealed that the main crime -- the explosion of the ship -- was not their fault, Doctor Strange openly admitted that they had been wrong to exile the Hulk and that they probably deserved what they had coming.

* In both the [[Film/IronMan movie]] ''and'' the original comics, [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] goes on a short but absolutely '' kickass'' one of these after the terrorists who have been holding him and another man (Yinsen) hostage end up killing Yinsen. In response, Tony takes the badass suit of armor he designed and built [[MemeticMutation in a cave, with a box of scraps]] and a goddamned improvised ''forge'', and then [[TookALevelInBadass breaks the fuck out]] and proceeds to use the suit's built-in [[KillItWithFire flamethrowers]] to [[TranquilFury kill everyone]] stupid enough not to run away screaming, and then he [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill explodes the entire terrorist hideout]], thus quite effectively taking out anyone who managed to avoid being roasted to death.

* Used as an InvokedTrope in the [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryGillen'' comics. The only reason no one has killed the reincarnated-as-a-kid Loki yet for his past deeds is because Thor has sworn to do ''exactly this trope'' if anyone hurts Loki and he finds out about it. Or if Loki just suddenly dies, even if there's no proof, because Thor's not an idiot.
* In ''Comicbook/MsTree'', Michael practically makes a career of this. Any time there is an attack on her, her family or her friends, this is almost guaranteed to be a huge stack of enemy corpses at the end of it. It got to the stage where TheMafia [[PragmaticVillainy didn't want to mess with her because it was too costly for them.]]
* This is done by {{ComicBook/Mystique}} after the death of her partner, Destiny, by the hands of {{ComicBook/Legion}}.
* In the Disney series ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'':

* ''ComicBook/PrettyDeadly'' is about Deathface Ginny, who is after a man named Fox. [[spoiler:He was married to her mother, but imprisoned her in a tower where she died (but not before having an affair with Death and giving birth to Ginny).]]

** In an arc of [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX the MAX comic]] entitled "Up is Down, Black is White" a gangster with a grudge against Castle [[TooDumbToLive/ComicBooks digs up his wife and children, urinates on the remains, and releases the footage to the news media]]. Frank did [[PapaWolf not take]] [[TranquilFury this too well.]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil Let's just say the bad guy got what he deserved, and the crime rate went down significantly]].
** For another example of what happens when you ''really'' piss off Frank Castle, look at "The Slavers," where he finds a sex slavery ring that tried to intimidate a woman into silence by killing her baby. Frank's path of destruction is something to behold: [[spoiler: He tracks down one procurer, knocks him out, and wakes him so that he can see he's been disemboweled, with his intestines tied to tree branches. Once he spills, Frank leaves him there and moves on to the accountant. He tries to throw her out of her skyscraper office, only to find out the place has safety glass -- so he ''hurls her against the window'' until it pops out of frame and she hits the ground. Once he finds the local ringleader, he ties him to a chair and ''burns him alive'', all as a videotaped message to the rest out of the outfit -- "Don't come back here."]]
** The ultimate example comes in the form of ''Comicbook/ThePunisherKillsTheMarvelUniverse,'' which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Whether this represents a parody or a crowning homage to the character is open to debate.
* Besides ComicBook/ThePunisher, Marvel's other resident avenger ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} has been featured in some high-spotlight revenge arcs. Kinda hard to avoid when you're a killing machine with a hair-trigger temper.
** The Marvel event ''Comicbook/CivilWar'' kicked off because a lone villain named Nitro, who is essentially a living bomb that can blow up and reform as many times as he likes, blew up a small town in Connecticut. While all the heroes were slap-fighting each other over federal legislation, guess who it was that hunted down and tried to destroy Nitro for his mass murder?
** His biggest however has been in the AlternateUniverse story ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'', where after returning home to his family with the money needed to pay off their debtors, [[spoiler: he finds them murdered by those he owes because "[[ForTheEvulz they were bored.]]"]] He forsakes his [[BerserkButton fifty years of pacifism]] in order to exact some ''[[UnstoppableRage very]]'' [[NoKillLikeOverkill bloody satisfaction]] of his own. Given the reason he gave up [[MemeticMutation snikting bubs]] in the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone first place]], this is a pretty huge character shift.
** And don't forget about Matsu'o, who commissioned the murder of Logan's lover Mariko. [[spoiler: Every year on the anniversary of Mariko's death Logan cuts off a little bit more of Matsu'o; he's currently missing his right arm, right ear, nose, and gall bladder. If it weren't for ComicBookTime he'd probably be [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} a head in a jar]] before his death. Wolverine said his punishment wasn't over but finally relented and let Psylocke finish him off.]]
** Then there's Creator/MarkMillar's "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of SHIELD" arcs where [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Hydra]], [[ReligionOfEvil The]] [[{{Ninja}} Hand]], [[MadScientist AIM]], and upstart group [[{{Cult}} Dawn Of The White Light]] lure Logan in by kidnapping [[spoiler: and killing]] an innocent child. Then they brainwash him and send him after the super-hero community like the weapon he once was. When he gets his mind back, he [[spoiler:reprograms a Sentinel to kill the hundreds of members of the Dawn of the White Light mutant group, then kills thousands of Hand members, then kills 40,000+ Hydra agents, then slices up the dozens of thugs who were tangentially related to just the kidnapping aspect.]]
** And then there's his horror movie style hunting down of a bunch of guys who broke the spirit of a nun to the point where she begged Wolverine to make them suffer, which he did on the five year anniversary of her death (they didn't kill or even harm the nun, just broke her spirit with fake execution after fake execution, and Logan was avenging the loss of her innocence). And his slaughter of the pirates/slavers who hijacked a plane carrying one of Mariko's personal secretary was in part to avenge those that they'd murdered or worse over the years. And the slapstick one he did on the Madripoor underworld using [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Mr. Fixit]] as a proxy.
** Suffice to say, RoaringRampageOfRevenge is Wolverine's primary mode of communication.

* In ''Comicbook/TheSandman'', Hippolyta Hall sends the Kindly Ones (a.k.a. The Furies) to attack the Dreaming because [[MamaBear she thinks Morpheus killed her son]].

** Spider-Man has one in the first "Sin-Eater" story arc. The Sin-Eater is murdering people left and right, and one of his victims is Captain Jean [=DeWolfe=]. As she was one of Spider-Man's friends and supporters, he takes her death very hard and this adventure very personally. Ultimately, Spider-Man finds the Sin-Eater (who has no superpowers, by the way) and brutally beats him to a pulp. If not for ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Spider-Man seemed quite likely to kill him.
** A somewhat similar incident occurs in the Ultimate series. A punk dressed up as Spider-Man had been robbing banks and destroying the little amount of good reputation that Peter had built up when taking down Doc Ock for the first time. While robbing an armored truck, the imposter is confronted by Police Captain Stacey, father of Peter's friend Gwen, and a bullet ignites the plastic explosives in the criminal's backpack. He quickly shrugs it off and throws it away, and it arcs right towards a nearby child. [[spoiler: Stacey, in keeping with the death of the character in the original universe, [[HeroicSacrifice throws the child out of harm's way and is killed when the explosives detonate]].]] Later on, Peter hears a report that the imposter is attempting to rob another place and finally confronts his double face to face. After a brutal beat-down, Peter locks his hands around the man's throat and [[UnstoppableRage very nearly strangles him to death while screaming his fury into his face.]]
** In the Grim Hunt storyline, the Kravinov family had been messing with Spidey for weeks and eventually killed several of his superpowered friends. Spider-Man goes berserk, taking out the whole clan and even used his wall-crawling grip to tear off a chunk of Sasha Kravinov's face.
** And of course, there was right after the events of Civil War when Aunt May was shot by an assassin sent by the Kingpin after he exposed his identity to the world. Donning his black costume to let everyone know [[DarkerAndEdgier he meant business]], he tore across New York until finally locating and delivering a huge beatdown on the Kingpin, threatening to finish the job if he couldn't find a way to save Aunt May (we all know [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay how that turned out]]). In a ComicBook/WhatIf, the assassin shoots (and kills) Mary Jane instead, causing Peter to snap and actually ''kill'' the Kingpin.

* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In the storyline ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' secondary character Sheko goes on one of these after she judged and found her planet's jerkass Crown Prince guilty and the king got her shot. She gets so absolutely furious that she becomes a [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]], and decides to burn everyone who were responsible for her death.
** Subverted in ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl''. Kara wants to kill [[spoiler:Comicbook/LexLuthor]] after discovering that he [[spoiler:murdered her baby cousin]], but Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} talks her out of it.
* After the apparent death of [[spoiler:Batman]] in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', Franchise/{{Superman}} returns to Bludhaven with a Roaring Rampage of Heat Vision, taking down as many of Darkseid's troops as he can see.
* Comicbook/SwampThing returns to earth after a forced exile. Step one is to kill the people responsible for his unexpected interstellar journey.

* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel
** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Hawkeye goes on an especially inspiring one after his wife and kids are murdered and he is taken captive by [[spoiler: a black ops team sent by Black Widow.]] As part of his escape he [[Awesome/UltimateMarvel kills his guards with the fingernails he's torn off his own fingertips]] via his effectively superhuman ability to use anything as a lethal projectile. [[UnstoppableRage After killing]] an ''additional'' squad sent to subdue him, he takes their guns, [[SlasherSmile grins into the security camera]], and tells the rest of the base, [[TranquilFury "Run."]]
** ComicBook/UltimateMarvel re-introduced the Ghost Rider, [[AdaptationDistillation distilling]] his origin as he and his lover Roxanne were innocents killed as human sacrifices, so the perpetrators could [[DealWithTheDevil bargain for power from Mephisto]]. As it turns out, Ultimate Johnny Blaze sold his soul to Mephisto, too. All so Roxanne could be spared the suffering, and Johnny could hunt and kill the monsters that did this to them. Just one problem: [[spoiler: One of the sacrificers is now the U.S. vice-president.]]

** Fever is ''furious'' when Linnaker murders Louise and kidnaps his daughter, and makes it clear that she's going to hunt him down and kill him regardless of Vigilante's actions. Vigilante, looking at the cleaver planted in the cereal the girl had been eating, agrees.

* Comicbook/XMen spinoff ''Comicbook/XFactor'' shows even an enemy's simulator knows that if you hurt/kill Rictor, Shatterstar's Roaring Rampage Of Revenge would come next, quickly followed by your demise.

*** Nightwing is ''prone'' to this. During ''[[ComicBook/KnightFall KnightsEnd]]'', he tore into Jean-Paul Valley after thinking Bruce was killed by a booby-trapped Batmobile and during ''ComicBook/JokersLastLaugh'', he actually ''[[UnstoppableRage killed]]'' the titular villain when he thought [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]] had died.

* Abslom Daak, from the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comics. Because they killed his lover (whose corpse, now cryogenically frozen, makes her into a literal [[Website/WomenInRefrigerators woman in a refrigerator]]) he's gonna kill every last stinking Dalek in the galaxy. Implicitly, a bit of a lunkhead, which got made explicit when he got to meet the Doctor, who took the mickey out of him.

** Marv goes on one of these in ''The Hard Goodbye'' when his lady of the night Goldie is murdered and he is framed for the crime.
** And in ''Family Values'', Dwight and Miho cut a swath through the Sin City Mafia to avenge the shooting of a prostitute.
** Wallace of ''Hell and Back'' also goes on one of these when Esther, the woman he saves from suicide, is kidnapped.
* In ''Comicbook/TheSandman'', Hippolyta Hall sends the Kindly Ones (a.k.a. The Furies) to attack the Dreaming because [[MamaBear she thinks Morpheus killed her son]].
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'':
** In all adaptations, the entire plot revolves around this, to the point where it's less a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and more of a Roaring ''Marathon'' of Revenge. In the comic, Frank Castle's family was killed when they stumbled upon a mob execution while having a picnic in a park. In revenge, Frank kills the people responsible and then goes on to kill all the other criminals he can find. In [[Film/ThePunisher2004 the movie]], Frank was once in the FBI, and his family was specifically targeted.
** In an arc of [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX the MAX comic]] entitled "Up is Down, Black is White" a gangster with a grudge against Castle [[TooDumbToLive/ComicBooks digs up his wife and children, urinates on the remains, and releases the footage to the news media]].

** And then there's his horror movie style hunting down of a bunch of guys who broke the spirit of a nun to the point where she begged Wolverine to make them suffer, which he did on the five year anniversary of her death (they didn't kill or even harm the nun, just broke her spirit with fake execution after fake execution, and Logan was avenging the loss of her innocence). And his slaughter of the pirates/slavers who hijacked a plane carrying one of Mariko's personal secretary was in part to avenge those that they'd murdered or worse over the years. And the slapstick one he did on the Madripoor underworld using [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Mr. Fixit]] as a proxy.
** Suffice to say, RoaringRampageOfRevenge is Wolverine's primary mode of communication.
* Near the end of the comic book series ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', ComicBook/BlackAdam's wife and brother-in-law are killed. As it was the death of his first wife that caused his original fall from grace, it is unsurprising that the death of the second led to him going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, wiping out the country that harbored the murderers, and anybody else that stood in his way. It doesn't end well, though, as the nerdy {{Mad Scientist}}s behind her death soundly kick his ass [[ForScience with SCIENCE]].
** And when he escapes from ''that'', he just declares bloody vengeance on the entire world, leading to the week long WorldWarIII.
* Abslom Daak, from the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comics. Because they killed his lover (whose corpse, now cryogenically frozen, makes her into a literal [[Website/WomenInRefrigerators woman in a refrigerator]]) he's gonna kill every last stinking Dalek in the galaxy. Implicitly, a bit of a lunkhead, which got made explicit when he got to meet the Doctor, who took the mickey out of him.
** But ultimately (and posthumously) he was honored for a HeroicSacrifice with a new moniker: "Abslom Daak, Life-Giver".
* In ''ComicBook/JonSableFreelance'', Sable went on one of these after his family was murdered.
* Comicbook/SwampThing returns to earth after a forced exile. Step one is to kill the people responsible for his unexpected interstellar journey.
* The titular V has the titular vendetta in ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', coldly eliminating everyone who worked at the camp where he was imprisoned, then moving on to overthrowing the government and killing everyone who was responsible for the very existence of said camp in the first place. Just before his work is done, he dies, and leaves the very last step and the cleaning up afterwards to Evey.
* Subverted in ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}''. Flycatcher wants to go on one of these after remembering what the Empire's soldiers did to his family, but Boy Blue refuses to teach him the secrets of the Witching Cloak that would let him do this, because he doesn't want to corrupt the only truly innocent Fable left. Ironically, this leads to him taking out the Empire's most powerful magic source, and causing far more damage to the Empire's armies than he ever could have on a RROR without ever killing a single soul.
* After the apparent death of [[spoiler:Batman]] in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', Franchise/{{Superman}} returns to Bludhaven with a Roaring Rampage of Heat Vision, taking down as many of Darkseid's troops as he can see.
* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In the storyline ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' secondary character Sheko goes on one of these after she judged and found her planet's jerkass Crown Prince guilty and the king got her shot. She gets so absolutely furious that she becomes a [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]], and decides to burn everyone who were responsible for her death.
** Subverted in ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl''. Kara wants to kill [[spoiler:Comicbook/LexLuthor]] after discovering that he [[spoiler:murdered her baby cousin]], but Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} talks her out of it.

* The entire plot of the Luna brothers' ''ComicBook/TheSword'' is Dara Brighton's vengeance quest against the three demigod siblings who murdered her family.
* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel
** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Hawkeye goes on an especially inspiring one after his wife and kids are murdered and he is taken captive by [[spoiler: a black ops team sent by Black Widow.]] As part of his escape he [[Awesome/UltimateMarvel kills his guards with the fingernails he's torn off his own fingertips]] via his effectively superhuman ability to use anything as a lethal projectile. [[UnstoppableRage After killing]] an ''additional'' squad sent to subdue him, he takes their guns, [[SlasherSmile grins into the security camera]], and tells the rest of the base, [[TranquilFury "Run."]]
** ComicBook/UltimateMarvel re-introduced the Ghost Rider, [[AdaptationDistillation distilling]] his origin as he and his lover Roxanne were innocents killed as human sacrifices, so the perpetrators could [[DealWithTheDevil bargain for power from Mephisto]]. As it turns out, Ultimate Johnny Blaze sold his soul to Mephisto, too. All so Roxanne could be spared the suffering, and Johnny could hunt and kill the monsters that did this to them. Just one problem: [[spoiler: One of the sacrificers is now the U.S. vice-president.]]
** ''ComicBook/AllNewUltimates'': Bombshell got one after getting rid of Diamondback's control, as she killed her boyfriend.
* ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'':
** Johnny in ''ComicBook/StrontiumDog'' goes on a massive one across several planets after [[spoiler:Max Bubba kills Wulf]].
** ''ComicBook/ALoveLikeBlood'': After [[spoiler:his lover Bethany and their unborn child are killed on Karkossa's orders]], Jacques goes on a rampage to destroy his father and anyone who stands in his way.
** ''ComicBook/ButtonMan'': Adele systematically hunts down the men who killed her father, which includes a man she knows only as "Harry X", but who is most likely already dead. [[spoiler:She eventually agrees to a one-one-one match against Harry Exton after he turns up alive, but he reveals that he opted out when he was called in to take out her father, so they team up against the Voices instead.]]
* In both the [[Film/IronMan movie]] ''and'' the original comics, [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] goes on a short but absolutely '' kickass'' one of these after the terrorists who have been holding him and another man (Yinsen) hostage end up killing Yinsen. In response, Tony takes the badass suit of armor he designed and built [[MemeticMutation in a cave, with a box of scraps]] and a goddamned improvised ''forge'', and then [[TookALevelInBadass breaks the fuck out]] and proceeds to use the suit's built-in [[KillItWithFire flamethrowers]] to [[TranquilFury kill everyone]] stupid enough not to run away screaming, and then he [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill explodes the entire terrorist hideout]], thus quite effectively taking out anyone who managed to avoid being roasted to death.
* In ''Comicbook/MsTree'', Michael practically makes a career of this. Any time there is an attack on her, her family or her friends, this is almost guaranteed to be a huge stack of enemy corpses at the end of it. It got to the stage where TheMafia [[PragmaticVillainy didn't want to mess with her because it was too costly for them.]]

* While there are many of these in the series an obvious example takes place within IDW's ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW Transformers]]'' run, during Cliffjumper's Spotlight comic. Crashing on a world he manages to create a strong bond between himself and one of the locals, a [[AllLovingHero kind and gentle girl]] called Kita. A few days after his arrival Decepticons arrive and manage to injure Cliffjumper and shoot Kira in the back when she attempts to run. The Decepticons call for backup in hunting him down leading to this brief exchange upon figuring out just who it is they've managed to piss off. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't end well.]]

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
** Spider-Man has one in the first "Sin-Eater" story arc. The Sin-Eater is murdering people left and right, and one of his victims is Captain Jean [=DeWolfe=]. As she was one of Spider-Man's friends and supporters, he takes her death very hard and this adventure very personally. Ultimately, Spider-Man finds the Sin-Eater (who has no superpowers, by the way) and brutally beats him to a pulp. If not for ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Spider-Man seemed quite likely to kill him.
** A somewhat similar incident occurs in the Ultimate series. A punk dressed up as Spider-Man had been robbing banks and destroying the little amount of good reputation that Peter had built up when taking down Doc Ock for the first time. While robbing an armored truck, the imposter is confronted by Police Captain Stacey, father of Peter's friend Gwen, and a bullet ignites the plastic explosives in the criminal's backpack. He quickly shrugs it off and throws it away, and it arcs right towards a nearby child. [[spoiler: Stacey, in keeping with the death of the character in the original universe, [[HeroicSacrifice throws the child out of harm's way and is killed when the explosives detonate]].]] Later on, Peter hears a report that the imposter is attempting to rob another place and finally confronts his double face to face. After a brutal beat-down, Peter locks his hands around the man's throat and [[UnstoppableRage very nearly strangles him to death while screaming his fury into his face.]]
** In the Grim Hunt storyline, the Kravinov family had been messing with Spidey for weeks and eventually killed several of his superpowered friends. Spider-Man goes berserk, taking out the whole clan and even used his wall-crawling grip to tear off a chunk of Sasha Kravinov's face.
** And of course, there was right after the events of Civil War when Aunt May was shot by an assassin sent by the Kingpin after he exposed his identity to the world. Donning his black costume to let everyone know [[DarkerAndEdgier he meant business]], he tore across New York until finally locating and delivering a huge beatdown on the Kingpin, threatening to finish the job if he couldn't find a way to save Aunt May (we all know [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay how that turned out]]). In a ComicBook/WhatIf, the assassin shoots (and kills) Mary Jane instead, causing Peter to snap and actually ''kill'' the Kingpin.
* Used as an InvokedTrope in the recent [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' comics. The only reason no one has killed the reincarnated-as-a-kid Loki yet for his past deeds is because Thor has sworn to do ''exactly this trope'' if anyone hurts Loki and he finds out about it. Or if Loki just suddenly dies, even if there's no proof, because Thor's not an idiot.
* This is the plot of the first story arc of ''ComicBook/JenniferBlood'': the eponymous [[AntiHero anti-heroine]] is out to wipe out the organized crime family that murdered her father and drove her mother to suicide. Of course, her father had been the head of that family, and the men who killed him were all her uncles. The subsequent story arc seems to be shaping up to be that the relatives of three assassins who had been hired by her uncles and whom Jennifer had killed along the way are now determined to track down the person who [[CycleOfRevenge killed their loved ones and kill her and all her loved ones]]...

* The first three miniseries of ''ComicBook/MagicTheGatheringIDW'' follow Dack Fayden's hunt for Sifa Grent, the planeswalker who destroyed his hometown.
* ''ComicBook/{{Hexed}}'': In issue #8 of the 2014 series, [[spoiler:once Madam Cymbaline kills Val, Lucifer burns down her building, kills all her men, and then summons a devil gods had fought and died to keep out of their world, before killing the Harlot and taking her place as The Thief.]]

* Examples from ''ComicBook/{{Diabolik}}'':
** The title character is rather infamous in-universe for killing everyone stupid enough to put themselves against him, to the point it's faster to list the exceptions:
*** If you have what he considers a legitimate reason, he'll let you be. To him, legitimate reasons are: being the target of his current heist (so if you foil him he'll just try again, with more respect if you actually outsmarted him); being a guard surveilling his current target or a cop (that is, you're ''paid'' to stop him); having been a victim of one of Diabolik's KickTheDog moments, such as Gustavo Garian (Diabolik killed his father and aunt and drove his mother to madness in order to steal a collection of incredibly valuable knives from him. Gustavo has sometimes gone out of his way to kill Diabolik, but he never retaliated) or Elisabeth Gay (for her crime of ''accidentally'' getting him arrested, thus exposing his true face and nearly getting him executed, Diabolik drove her to madness knowing that to her it was AFateWorseThanDeath. She has since recovered enough to retaliate, but he didn't kill her).
*** On occasion [[CruelMercy he let his enemy live knowing he could come and kill them at his pleasure, and would do so when bored enough]]. Usually it's because the criminal has done something that ''really'' pissed Diabolik off, but in one occasion he spared a group of former victims of his (even skipping the visit to let them know he could kill whenever he wanted) who had stolen his treasure (that is, his favourite loots) for three reasons: they had a legitimate grievance, as Diabolik had accidentally ruined part of their lives; their theft had actually done him a ''favour'', as they had eliminated one of his weaknesses; differently from their ringleader (who ''did'' get killed), they didn't try and kill him.
*** {{Worthy Opponent}}s get away with whatever they did. So far there have been only the unnamed custom guard from "Crime Knows No Border" (a CorruptCop in the pocket of Diabolik's personal fence in the east. As the fence had just died he had lost his main source of income, so he told Diabolik he could either give up the crapload of money he had with him or be arrested for money smuggling while pointing out he had no way to escape, and Diabolik had to accept the defeat) and the man who, in "The Sin of Gustavo Garian", alias [[spoiler:Gustavo Garian himself in his earliest attempt at getting revenge on Diabolik]], kidnapped Eva for ransom and had the sense of getting Diabolik to promise he'd not try and have revenge or even find out his identity ([[IGaveMyWord as Diabolik always keeps his word]]).
*** In one occasion, Ross, the owner of a luna park put on a show that had Diabolik getting the drop on Ginko and wounding him to death with a thrown knife and Ginko living long enough to shoot him. [[SeriousBusiness The allegation that someone could sneak up on Ginko or survive Diabolik's thrown knife pissed him off]]... But he limite himself to steal his wife's jewels and leave a mask with Ross' face as a CallingCard. Note that Ginko actually expected him to ''murder'' him...
** Eva Kant, Diabolik's lover, is less revenge prone... But [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale much more sadistic about it]]: Diabolik will kill you, but Eva will make you ''suffer'' while you die.
** [[BewareTheNiceOnes The nice and inoffensive Gustavo Garian]] never missed a chance to try and get Diabolik arrested or killed for what he did to his family, even [[spoiler: kidnapping Eva to lure Diabolik in an explosive trap faking a ransom ("The Sin of Gustavo Garian". Attempt abandoned in favour of having Diabolik saving Ginko)]], [[spoiler: hiring the best killers in the world to try and murder him ("The Return of Gustavo Garian")]], and ''sicking the most powerful mob boss of a BananaRepublic on him'' ("The Rediscovered Enemy").
** Outside of flashbacks, Elisabeth Gay's two appearances after "Atrocious Revenge" involve this, having her capture Diabolik with the purpose of torturing him to death or her husband trying to kill him.
** Altea, [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Ginko]]'s fiancee, has engaged in this once: when a mob boss tried to have Ginko killed twice she reacted by hiring a hitman to kill him, and upon realizing Diabolik had replaced the hitman to try and rob the boss she had him promise he'd kill him (Diabolik complied).
** Ginko, being a honest cop, usually [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this, as even when it's personal he will try to get you arrested for the crimes you did. Then the [[WesternTerrorists Grey Ravens]] nearly killed Altea, and it ended with a large number of them dead, either by his gun or by Diabolik's knife ([[EnemyMine as they had joined forces]]).
** Speaking of the Grey Ravens... They're a perpetual ''victim'' of this: aside for the time Ginko killed every single Grey Raven he could find, Diabolik has not forgotten the time they captured him and [[ColdBloodedTorture tried to torture the location of something he stole out of him]], and Altea and her uncle fight them not only because the country they're trying to take over is theirs, but because ItsPersonal, as [[spoiler: their leader was Altea's first husband, who married her and then faked his death to hide the fact and then returned to try and separate her from Ginko]]. Even with their original leader (personally responsible for Diabolik's torture) dead at Diabolik's hands, he, Altea and her uncle are more than willing to go out of their way to cause them harm whenever they have a chance.
* ComicBook/RedSonja's backstory has her family slain by brigands, after which she hunts them down and murders them. On a smaller scale she's often seen adopting the causes of wronged parties unable to fight to avenge them.
* ''ComicBook/{{Vigilante}}'':
** After the Controller orders J.J. murdered Adrian slaughters his way through the Controller's men before fatally injuring the man.
** Fever is ''furious'' when Linnaker murders Louise and kidnaps his daughter, and makes it clear that she's going to hunt him down and kill him regardless of Vigilante's actions. Vigilante, looking at the cleaver planted in the cereal the girl had been eating, agrees.
* ''ComicBook/{{Yellowjacket}}'': A writer who can control bees goes after the gangsters who left him to be stung to death by his own bees.
* ''ComicBook/TheWraith'': A cop goes after the gangsters who left him to be stung to death by his own bees.

* ''ComicBook/TheBlueStreak'': An acrobat goes after the gangsters who killed his brother.
* ''ComicBook/TheEyeSees'': A magical living eye takes it upon himself to avenge the theft of a company.
* ''ComicBook/TheBanshee'': An Irishman pursues the supervillain who killed his father-in-law.
* ''ComicBook/BuckskinAmericasDefenderOfLiberty'': The villain of Super-Mystery Comics V3 #4 is Mr. Death, a disfigured man out to kill the men who are responsible for his plight.
* ''ComicBook/TheHiketeia'': With the Erinyes' encouragement Danny slaughters her way through the five men most directly responsible for her sister's death. She's first introduced in the story at the tail-end of it actually, killing off the last one.

* This is done by {{ComicBook/Mystique}} after the death of her partner, Destiny, by the hands of {{ComicBook/Legion}}

** In a ''Batman: Black and White'' story, Batman begins following a trail of especially horrible murders committed with a hatchet. He manages to find out every victim was at one point an Arkham inmate, and identifies the last victim in time to catch the killer - ''Arnold Wesker, the Ventriloquist''. It turns out the rampage was actually a RoaringRampageOfRescue - he had been attacked at Arkham and Scarface torn apart by the other inmates. When offered Scarface's head, the last missing piece, Wesker immediately mellows out to his usual milquetoast persona and meekly awaits to be sent back to Arkham.

* While there are many of these in the series an obvious example takes place within IDW's ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW Transformers]]'' run, during Cliffjumper's Spotlight comic. Crashing on a world he manages to create a strong bond between himself and one of the locals, a [[AllLovingHero kind and gentle girl]] called Kita.
