* In an issue of ''ComicBook/{{Cable}}'' that dealt with [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars the Balkan Wars]], an Albanian scientist [[HonorRelatedAbuse shoots his sister for disgracing the family by being raped]], and then, a few years later, clones her with all her memories intact (one of what was intended to be an army of clones for the Albanians to use to get revenge on the Macedonians). She, understandably, is pissed at him both for killing her and not allowing her to rest in peace after the worst experience of her life, and once Cable stops the scientists' plan and sends their base crashing down around them, she catches her brother in a back room and stabs the sorry guy to death.

* The players in ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'' constantly abuse and exploit the NPC's with whom their characters deal. The inevitable backstab never seems to teach them a lesson.
* [[TheDragon Sam Lesser]] attempts this with [[BigBad Dodge]] in ''ComicBook/LockeAndKey''. [[spoiler: Key word: [[KilledOffForReal attempts.]]]]

* In the second arc of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'', Spike gets kicked by the Nightmare Forces, and in the end it is he who deals the final blow to destroying the evil force (and releasing Rarity from its control).
* In one comic for Franchise/MyLittlePony G1, Applejack (going to seek help in becoming less of a WalkingDisasterArea), gets captured by an evil wizard who tries to enslave her. [[https://derpibooru.org/446450 It doesn't end well for him]].
* Wolfsbane of the ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' has been repeatedly abused by her father [[TheFundamentalist Reverend Craig]] throughout her life -- it says something when his leading an angry mob to try and ''burn her at the stake'' when she was thirteen and her powers manifested isn't the ''worst'' thing he's done. Eventually, he gets her captured and brainwashed, using her to attack and mutilate her teammate Angel. When their friends come to rescue the both of them, he tries to use Wolfsbane against them... and accidentally triggers her commands. The result is that she attacks him and mauls him to death, implicitly eating him.
* Vance Astrovik of the ''ComicBook/NewWarriors'' suffered years of abuse from his father before finally biting back. Given his character, it comes as no surprise that he takes being sent to prison as his due.
* Played both metaphorically and literally in ''ComicBook/RedSonja'': ''The Art of Blood and Fire'' when Kalayah the Beastmaster's assistant Rat unleashes all the animals he's abused on him at once.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

** In the beginning of ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', a crime lord is killed off by the same dancers whom he used to mistreat.

* In ''ComicBook/EightBillionGenis'', Bernie Haysmith is an unabashed criminal and corporate scumbag who blackmailed Wang Zhang into committing corporate espionage. When Wang realizes that this blackmail is meaningless now that the world has been forever changed by the genies, Wang crushes the flash drive and prepares to leave in disgust. In response, Bernie attempts to wish Wang dead, only for Wang to react first and shoot an energy blast at Bernie's head. That said, the reader would be hard-pressed to feel sympathy for such a [[HateSink despicable man]].

* ComicBook/{{X 23}} does this to the Facility which [[OppositeSexClone cloned her]] from ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} to be an assassin. Somewhat subverted that it's actually her biological mother who tells her to rebel and destroy the Facility. It's ''very'' clear Laura is also acting for herself and not just her mother's orders when you consider how she deals with Zander Rice: Sarah Kinney told her to kill him. But when she corners him, she puts up her claws and gives him a truly epic NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. She could have ''easily'' killed him instantly, but once she disabled his gun she went after him with her ''bare hands'' as payback for everything he did to her. Laura then takes it UpToEleven when you look at her mission clock and realize she's pounding on him '''''for ten fucking minutes'''''. Capped by Laura's parting BondOneLiner and IronicEcho as she leaves him to die:

--> '''Laura:''' Animal.

* In the climax of the original twelve-issue maxi-series ''ComicBook/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'', the series' BigBad Dark Opal is literally stabbed in the back by his adopted son Carnelian, whom he had abused in the previous chapters.

* When Franchise/SpiderMan faces Morlun, an enemy who has been sustaining his near-immortality for centuries by feeding on the life energy of people who have totemistic relationships with animals, and when he finally has him on the ropes, it's unclear whether he's about to cross the killing line, but the issue is quickly resolved when Dex, Morlun's Renfield-style cowardly, put-upon assistant, puts a bullet in him and leaves singing "ding dong, the witch is dead."

* ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'': In "Monsters in the Closet", Batman discovers a secret lair where a mad scientist has been creating unnatural monsters. The scientist tries to shoot Batman, but the shot goes wide and breaks open the containment unit housing his creations, one of whom takes the opportunity to lethally express her displeasure of her treatment at his hands.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanBeyond'': This is Ghoul's ultimate fate: Electrocuted by Davis Dusk, who he had earlier helped rise FromNobodyToNightmare, after the latter [[HeelFaceDoorSlam tried and failed to adapt back into normal society]]. Ghoul's actions led directly to Dusk murdering his own father, being sent into super-max prison and basically ruining his own life, so this comeuppance was very deserved.

* In ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', the Anti-Monitor destroyed Earth-Prime, homeworld of Superboy-Prime. In the ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'', Superboy-Prime joined Sinestro's group alongside the Anti-Monitor, but only as a means of getting revenge by acting out this trope when the opportunity arose.

* "Nature," an issue of ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', opens with Officers [[DirtyCop Munroe and Decarlo]] beating up Trigger, a corner drug dealer, when he is late with their regular cut. At the end of the issue, Trigger confirms who they are to Poison Ivy right before she kills them.

* Skurge, of ComicBook/TheMightyThor, in one of the most memorable ways possible. He's been treated as a joke by his allies and lover, and ultimately regarded as no more than a dumb brute who occasionally fills in as the VillainOfTheWeek for Thor. Then he snaps. He knocks out Thor before he can make a last stand to let his friends flee Hel, and opts to stand in Thor's place. His reason?
--> '''Skurge:''' They made a fool of me, Balder. They laughed at me. Hela, Mordonna, even the enchantress I love. They all laughed at me. Except you, Balder. Balder is too kind to laugh at Skurge. But whenever they laugh, I hurt inside. Maybe I die a little. Now, I think I am dead already...so I will stay behind and [[YouShallNotPass the last laugh will be mine.]]

--> "And though the Executioner stands alone, and the hordes of Hel seem numberless, not one sets foot upon the bridge across the River Gjoll."
* In the second arc of the ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic]]'', Spike gets kicked by the Nightmare Forces, and in the end it is he who deals the final blow to destroying the evil force (and releasing Rarity from its control).

* Subverted near the end of ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}''; Herr Starr's two henchmen try this trope on him after they realize how far gone he is, but he gets the drop on them first.
** In TheVerse of ''Preacher'', [[GodIsEvil God is a colossal douche]] and TheGrimReaper WasOnceAMan. [[spoiler:These two facts are not unrelated, as it turns out God deliberately ruined the Reaper's mortal life so he'd accept the job. It also transpires that God is only omnipotent while He's on His throne. Naturally, the series ends with the heroes tricking Him into leaving it, and the Reaper dishing out a well-deserved reaping.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', [[spoiler:Mr. Mxyzptlk]] spends one whole year making Kara's life Hell as part of a plan to seize infinite power... which Supergirl claims before he can do so. Cue beat-down.

* In ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'', [[spoiler: when Matt shows up at the baseball game, Tommy, Roberta, and even Chuck stand up to him and start hitting him. It's not enough to beat him and he nearly shoots them all, but it is enough to keep him from killing anybody until Superman shows up.]]

* ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': Magneto constantly berated and insulted Pietro, which contributed greatly to Pietro's decision to turn on him at the conclusion of the first arc.

* ComicBook/{{X 23}} does this to the Facility which [[OppositeSexClone cloned her]] from Franchise/{{Wolverine}} to be an assassin. Somewhat subverted that it's actually her biological mother who tells her to rebel and destroy the Facility. It's ''very'' clear Laura is also acting for herself and not just her mother's orders when you consider how she deals with Zander Rice: Sarah Kinney told her to kill him. But when she corners him, she puts up her claws and gives him a truly epic NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. She could have ''easily'' killed him instantly, but once she disabled his gun she went after him with her ''bare hands'' as payback for everything he did to her. Laura then takes it UpToEleven when you look at her mission clock and realize she's pounding on him '''''for ten fucking minutes'''''. Capped by Laura's parting BondOneLiner and IronicEcho as she leaves him to die:

* Although he survived the attacks, half of Baron Zemo's career was summed up by this trope. You'd think he would've learned after the first few times. He was even attacked by the same abused henchman TWICE.
* ComicBook/{{X 23}} does this to the Facility which [[OppositeSexClone cloned her]] from Franchise/{{Wolverine}} to be an assassin.

* In the original ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' (not TheMovie), Mr. Almond's wife, Rose, originally securely within the party, gets royally screwed over by them after Almond's death, and eventually after much suffering and degradation, is the one who actually kills the fascist despot BigBad.
** V implies that he had somehow planned this since the beginning, stating in the third act that he already had "a special [[MeaningfulName rose]]" picked out for the head of state. [[spoiler:This is almost certainly linked to V hacking the FATE supercomputer which more or less runs the entire country. Through this hack V likely prevented Rosemary from getting the pension she should be due after her husband died, or some of the other troubles that befell her. (For example, in the background of a scene at a restaurant that otherwise focuses on another character, Rosemary can be seen being told that her credit card has been declined, despite her bewildered protests that it should have plenty of credit available. That’s another example of how V having access to the country’s major computer systems could contribute to her woes and gradual radicalization.)]]
** The film version also had a TheDogBitesBack moment as well. Namely, Creedy, after [[DubNameChange Adam Sutler]] made the big mistake of chewing him out, agreed to deliver Sutler to V. In the ending, Sutler is pretty much soiling his pants, so to speak, upon being delivered to V, and Creedy shoots Sutler, only remarking disgust at his fear. Creedy and his men soon join him courtesy of V, who broke his end of the deal.
* Throughout the early issues of ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'', ComicBook/{{Magneto}} is an AbusiveDad who frequently demeans his son ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}. During the finale of the first major story arc, Quicksilver uses his SuperSpeed to remove his father's telepathy-blocking helmet, allowing ComicBook/ProfessorX to finish him off.
-->'''Quicksilver:''' That's what happens when you treat someone like dirt beneath your fingernails for their entire life, father.
* In ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', the Anti-Monitor destroyed Earth-Prime, homeworld of Superboy-Prime. In the ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'', Superboy-Prime joined Sinestro's group alongside the Anti-Monitor, but only as a means of getting revenge by acting out this trope when the opportunity arose.

* ''Franchise/GIJoe'':
** In the comics, Destro remarks that the Inuit mercenary Kwinn once told him something along these lines: "A man who whips his dogs will one day pull his own sled." In this case Destro was literally talking about treating a dog kindly to avoid strife.
** One issue covered a dogfight between ''Cobra'' and ''GI Joe'' pilots, starting from how they treated their respective mechanics before take-off. You ''really'' don't want to alienate the guy whose job it is to make sure your very complicated war-plane is in perfect working order.
* The players in ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'' constantly abuse and exploit the NPC's with whom their characters deal. The inevitable backstab never seems to teach them a lesson.
* When ComicBook/DeathsHead was hired by a group of rebels to assassinate an oppressive king, he discovers he was actually set up by the King and expected to die in an ambush. Instead, Death's Head proceeds to kill the palace guards and the King -- completing the original contract.
* The very second ''Greyshirt'' story in ''ComicBook/TomorrowStories'' concerns Sonny, the put-upon caretaker of infamous mob boss "Spats" Katz' apartment building. Forced to turn a blind eye to Spats' actions and weather his constant browbeating and abuse ever since he was a boy, Sonny finally ended it by pushing the wheelchair-bound Spats out of the top floor window -- saving Greyshirt's life in the process.
* "Nature," an issue of ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', opens with Officers [[DirtyCop Munroe and Decarlo]] beating up Trigger, a corner drug dealer, when he is late with their regular cut. At the end of the issue, Trigger confirms who they are to Poison Ivy right before she kills them.
* [[TheDragon Sam Lesser]] attempts this with [[BigBad Dodge]] in ''ComicBook/LockeAndKey''. [[spoiler: Key word: [[KilledOffForReal attempts.]]]]
* In Creator/GrantMorrison's final issue of ''ComicBook/XMen'', this trope is used tragically. Jean Grey has triumphantly returned and purged the BigBad of the [[TheVirus sentient bacteria]] that was making him evil. Just as the former BigBad appears to be coming to his senses... his abused [[TheIgor Igor]] decapitates him.

** In issue 50, Dr. Robotnik had created an "Ultimate Annihilator" that would cause the universe to cease to exist for a billionth of a second, then to spring back into existence, minus Sonic and his friends. Snively seizes the opportunity to be rid of his oppressor and reprograms the machine to annihilate Robotnik instead.

* In an issue of ''ComicBook/{{Cable}}'' that dealt with [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars the Balkan Wars]], an Albanian scientist [[HonorRelatedAbuse shoots his sister for disgracing the family by being raped]], and then, a few years later, clones her with all her memories intact (one of what was intended to be an army of clones for the Albanians to use to get revenge on the Macedonians). She, understandably, is pissed at him both for killing her and not allowing her to rest in peace after the worst experience of her life, and once Cable stops the scientists' plan and sends their base crashing down around them, she catches her brother in a back room and stabs the sorry guy to death.
* In ''ComicBook/WelcomeToTheJungle'', the dog that bites back is a gorilla named Moe that a couple of hags magically compelled to kill someone. Naturally, he's Not Happy when he sees one of the hags threatening one of his zookeeper friends.
* In the second arc of the ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic]]'', Spike gets kicked by the Nightmare Forces, and in the end it is he who deals the final blow to destroying the evil force (and releasing Rarity from its control).

** Another example in an earlier arc saw an evil king murders his adversary and take his wife as a personal slave; she uses the same poison in his wine.
* In one comic for Franchise/MyLittlePony G1, Applejack (going to seek help in becoming less of a WalkingDisasterArea), gets captured by an evil wizard who tries to enslave her. [[https://derpibooru.org/446450 It doesn't end well for him]].
* ''ComicBook/BeastWarsUprising'': As the Resistance make their final push on [[AbusivePrecursors the Builder Assembly’s]] capital, the Assembly orders Hot Rod and his Micromasters to buy time for [[spoiler:[[TheHorde the Vehicons]]]] to arrive by pretty much acting as meat shields for the Assembly. Hot Rod, who has spent years trying to help and [[InternalReformist reform]] the Builders only to get nothing for it but mockery and abuse, [[LaserGuidedKarma tells them to piss off and then orders a full retreat, leaving the Builders to their fate]]. [[spoiler:Doing so saves both his life and the lives of his men, getting them out of the way before the Vehicons betray the Assembly and begin slaughtering their way through the capital.]]
* ''ComicBook/RickAndMortyOni'': Doofus Jerry could be seen as this, since it means there's at least one Jerry that can take Rick down a peg.
* In ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'', [[spoiler: when Matt shows up at the baseball game, Tommy, Roberta, and even Chuck stand up to him and start hitting him. It's not enough to beat him and he nearly shoots them all, but it is enough to keep him from killing anybody until Superman shows up.]]

During the finale of the first major story arc, Quicksilver ultimately foiles Magneto's scheme to destroy the planet by using his SuperSpeed to remove his father's helmet, allowing Comicbook/ProfessorX to finish him off.

* Averted in an issue of ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic Universe]]'' - tired of Dr. Eggman's lunacy, Snivley bails on the mad doctor and attempts to squash him once and for all. Instead, Eggman wins and, as a side effect, ''strengthens'' his hold on many of his captives.
** Snively had better luck in issue 50 of [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog the original]] ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'' [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog series]]. Robotnik had created an "Ultimate Annihilator" that would cause the universe to cease to exist for a billionth of a second, then to spring back into existence, minus Sonic and his friends.
