History UnstoppableRage / ComicBooks

** ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers''. Superman [[RedEyesTakeWarning becomes so outraged]] [[CrapsackWorld the state of the Marvel universe]] while fighting ComicBook/TheMightyThor, he knocks him out while even {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing "UpToEleven". Following this, the combined Marvel heroes, upon seeing Thor taken down, flip out and all attack Supes, managing to actually keep him 'off balance for a short time' -or beat the hell out of him until he's out cold.

* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'': Kara is -usually- a very nice, kind person, but she's also a HotBlooded, short-tempered teenager who protects her loved ones fiercely, and she has occasionally gone on a rampage:

* ''ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}}'' had plenty of reason to be angry at his archenemy Cobweb in the final issue of his comic series, not least because Cobweb tricked Sleepwalker into furthering his plans to conquer Earth, and because he committed mass murder on Earth and pinned the whole thing on Sleepwalker. [[FoeTossingCharge Throwing aside Cobweb's minions like they were nothing]], Sleepwalker catches up to Cobweb and proceeds to [[Awesome/{{Sleepwalker}} rip his MacGuffin right out of Cobweb's body]], before using it to banish Cobweb once and for all.

** Scrooge [=McDuck=] has many famous Comic book iterations of this, but none quite as amazingly awesome as in the "Yukon Scrooge" storyline. The bad guys capture Scrooge to steal his land claim and gold. They then torment him by reading his private mail and taunting him with [[spoiler:the death of his mother]]. A 45 Kg Duck proceeds to throw a concert piano out the window and destroy a riverboat with his bare hands.
** Another great one (though nowhere near the havoc he cause in Yukon) is in the story "The Terror of the Transvaal", when Flintheart Glomgold (a future nemesis of Scrooge, with this event triggering their rivalry and hatred) when after Scrooge helped Flintheart, who had been tied to a buffalo for stealing diamonds from a mine and the buffalo had been sent to the savannah, with Scrooge not knowing about the theft. Then during the night Flintheart robbed Scrooge and snuck back into town. When Scrooge woke up and realized what had happened, he got angry enough to tame a lion by yelling at it, after the lion had roared at him. He then rode back into town with the lion.

** Speaking of Wiccan, for the love of all that is good ''do not'' threaten his boyfriend. The last time this caused a temper tantrum, he made the Avengers and X-Men worry about a repeat of his mother. When Warden tried cutting up Hulkling, Wiccan would've killed the man if he could.

* ''Raghnarok'', a French comic about a young dragon features this. When Raghnarok (the young dragon) disappears, and his mother can't find him, she gets increasingly violent as time goes by and her eyes turn red. Over time, her purple scales turn black and she goes from being perhaps 12 feet tall to dwarfing skyscrapers. She then goes on to violently wreck everything in her way while shouting her son's name. This goes on uninterrupted for ten years, and she has the entire world fearing her. All armies run at sight. Her anger is only quelled once she meets her son again- and it's notable that she is a lot smaller after stopping her rampage.

* For Comicbook/WonderWoman and other Amazons in their pre-Crisis incarnations, the Bracelets of Submission acted as a check against the use of unrestrained power. If Wonder Woman's bracelets were removed, she became intoxicated with power, violent and nearly unstoppable.

* The Marvel KillerRobot called The Fury was a nigh unstoppable [[TheJuggernaut juggernaut]] created by an insane RealityWarper for the sole purpose of killing superbeings. It was so good at it that it eventually killed his own creator (or at least an alternate universe version of him who was just as powerful). But in the end, it was ultimately brought down by Captain UK. For much of the story, she was paralyzed by guilt and grief since the Fury killed everyone she ever knew and loved with her powerless to stop it. When she saw the Fury about to kill Captain Britain, something in her ''snapped'', and she ''tore'' the Fury apart with her own hands, while crying, cursing, and howling with rage. In its dying moments, the Fury knew fear, pain, death and defeat.

* In the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' tie-in ''Planet Hulk'' [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] is on a mission to rescue [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes Bucky]] from the Red King, a [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]], who is keeping him prisoner. After a long journey Steve finally makes it to the Red King's throne room [[spoiler:only to learn the Red King killed Bucky a long time ago]]. This enrages Steve to the point where he simply starts waling on the Red King with his shield -- who tries but doesn't get in as much as a single punch -- and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown doesn't stop bashing in the king's head]] until he is dead. Steve literally beat the king of the Hulks to death with nothing but his shield.

* The ''Comicbook/IncredibleHulk'' in every incarnation and medium.
** In Marvel's ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'' storyline, he's busy with a particularly Unstoppable Rage, mopping the floor with ''everyone'' in his way. The truly frightening thing was that he had gone into TranquilFury at the same time, leaving him with enough mind to keep his head and employ strategy and trickery.

** In the beginning of ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', ''Comicbook/{{Lobo}}'' taunted her until she flew off the handle and pummelled him. So intense was her rage that she attracted a Red Lantern Ring.

The truly frightening thing was that he had gone into TranquilFury at the same time, leaving him with enough mind to keep his head and employ strategy and trickery.

* This is also one of {{Wolverine}}'s defining traits. He's usually composed and calculating when he fights, but when he's pushed beyond a breaking point, he gives in to his animal instincts and his fighting style becomes more erratic and feral, and it's usually in these occasions where his body count rises the most.

* [[GentleGiant Gentle Giant Hulkling]] of the YoungAvengers falls into this when [[spoiler: his boyfriend Wiccan]] is erased from reality. The only reason he didn't attack/possibly kill Iron Lad is because Hulkling disappeared next.

* In the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanHush Hush]]'' storyline, Franchise/{{Batman}} goes into one of these when it seems that SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker killed his childhood friends. Flashing back through all the people the Joker's victimized and killed over the years (mostly Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, and Sarah Essen), he goes into an Unstoppable Rage, taking down Comicbook/HarleyQuinn and Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} (the latter of which was on his side, but simply trying to stop him from killing the Joker), and stalking the Joker through an alley. It takes Jim Gordon to snap him out of it, and, even then, Gordon had to ''shoot him'' to get his attention. Even after getting shot, Batman's still thinking of all the different ways he could kill Joker (something along the lines of "[[CruelAndUnusualDeath pushing his skeleton]] [[BodyHorror through his mouth]]"), but at least he wasn't choking him any more.

** ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers''. Superman [[RedEyesTakeWarning becomes so outraged]] while fighting ComicBook/TheMightyThor, he knocks him out while even {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing "UpToEleven".
*** Following this, the combined Marvel heroes, upon seeing Thor taken down, flip out and all attack Supes, managing to actually keep him 'off balance for a short time' -or beat the hell out of him until he's out cold.

** In ''ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything'', Superman loses it on Mongul after waking-up from a LotusEaterMachine, but his innate morality prevents him from actually killing Mongul off.
*** One word sums up his anger against Mongul: "BURN."

** In the beginning of ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', ''Comicbook/{{Lobo}} taunted her until she flew off the handle and pummelled him.

-->'''Mayor''': And the good news?
-->'''Johnathan''': Crime's down.

* A super-villainous example is DC's Doomsday, a genetically-engineered weapon created on Krypton before it was destroyed. Through a torturous process of sending the infant Doomsday to the DeathWorld regions of the planet and then creating a fresh clone from the remains when it was inevitably killed, it was eventually given super-human powers of survival, including a HealingFactor and AdaptiveAbility... and also driven completely insane. Doomsday's mind is nothing but a morass of rage, hatred and terror; possessing the genetic memory of untold painful deaths, it lashes out blindly at all life it encounters, as it has fixated on the idea that other lifeforms are the enemy. ''[[OmnicidalManiac All]]'' life.

* {{Supergirl}} was once so angry she ''overloaded'' [[EmotionEater Sakki, The Hate Furnace and Gakidou]].
** Also, Supergirl during her mini-series discovered that her lover ComicBook/LexLuthor had made thousands of clones of her from the residue he collected after her fight with Doomsday. She was very close to killing him too.

''All'' life.

* ''The Hard Goodbye'' from the SinCity series features Marv going on one for about a week straight, eventually taking on one of the most powerful crime families in the country. This was all because they killed one of the few people that was nice to him.

* Tends to happen to Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}} whenever the important things in his life, especially his family, are threatened (although this isn't an explicit power of his).

* Colossus, normally the GentleGiant of ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'', is also one of the last people you ever want to get mad. Just ask Riptide. Just ask Ord from Creator/JossWhedon's ''Astonishing X-Men'' run! Imprisoning and torturing him for two years to create a "mutant cure?" Very bad idea.

* In the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanHush Hush]]'' storyline, Franchise/{{Batman}} goes into one of these when it seems that SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker killed his childhood friends. Flashing back through all the people the Joker's victimized and killed over the years (mostly Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, and Sarah Essen), he goes into an Unstoppable Rage, taking down Comicbook/HarleyQuinn and Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} (the latter of which was on his side, but simply trying to stop him from killing the Joker), and stalking the Joker through an alley.

Even after getting shot, Batman's still thinking of all the different ways he could kill Joker (something along the lines of "pushing his skeleton through his mouth"), but at least he wasn't choking him any more.

*** To give you an idea of how angry Superman was, at that point he was literally ''ignoring the effects of Luthor's Kryptonite-based weaponry.''

* Wulf in ''StrontiumDog'', being a Viking, becomes a literal berserker when he gets ''really'' mad. In this state, he's capable of beating up even Johnny.

** In ''Comicbook/SupermanBatman'' #1, Batman finds himself witnessing a similar situation between Franchise/{{Superman}} and SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor. He notes the similarities between this and what happened in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanHush Hush]]'', and then, instead of talking him down like Jim Gordon did (he even notes that he wouldn't do that), he notes to Superman that he could [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident make Luthor's death look like an accident]], and then he gets Superman to stop by directing his attention to something else that needs to be done that's more important.

** Also, Supergirl during her mini-series discovered that her lover SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor had made thousands of clones of her from the residue he collected after her fight with Doomsday. She was very close to killing him too.

* ''{{Sleepwalker}}'' had plenty of reason to be angry at his archenemy Cobweb in the final issue of his comic series, not least because Cobweb tricked Sleepwalker into furthering his plans to conquer Earth, and because he committed mass murder on Earth and pinned the whole thing on Sleepwalker. [[FoeTossingCharge Throwing aside Cobweb's minions like they were nothing]], Sleepwalker catches up to Cobweb and proceeds to [[Awesome/{{Sleepwalker}} rip his MacGuffin right out of Cobweb's body]], before using it to banish Cobweb once and for all.

** ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers''. Superman [[RedEyesTakeWarning becomes so outraged]] while fighting TheMightyThor, he knocks him out while even {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing "UpToEleven".

** [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like father, like daughter]]. Do ''not'' attempt to hurt Wolverine or anyone else ComicBook/{{X 23}} loves, or you'll be sent home in pieces. Being under the effects of the Trigger Scent takes this UpToEleven, and she becomes a virtually unstoppable whirling ball of adamantium-bladed death that will tear apart ''everything'' in her path. In this state she's completely unable to distinguish friend from foe until it wears off, and yes, it ''has'' been used to make her hurt people she cares about.

* In the ''ComicBook/BatmanHush'' storyline, Franchise/{{Batman}} goes into one of these when it seems that SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker killed his childhood friends.

* The [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX MAX imprint]] version of Comicbook/ThePunisher, despite being something of an [[OneManArmy unstoppable killing machine]], is typically a very calm, methodical man. That is until Nicky Cavella, a mob boss with a grudge, dug up his family's remains and ''[[TooDumbToLive urinated on them]]''. [[BerserkButton This did not]] [[ItsPersonal go down well]]. A [[IncrediblyLamePun pissed off]] Mr. Castle proceeded to pack up his M-249 and consecutively attack various criminal hideouts, racking up 68 bodies... in ''one night''.

* A possible variation on this is Rorschach from ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''. He begins as a relatively capable hero, holding his own alongside Nite Owl. Following the murder of Blair Roche, Rorschach simply goes insane, and removes all traces of mercy from his actions in his blind hatred towards the "evil ones," rendering him strong enough to scare the shit out of most of New York without any weapons.
* In the ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'' Scrooge [=McDuck=] has many famous Comic book iterations of this, but none quite as amazingly awesome as in the "Yukon Scrooge" storyline. A 45 Kg Duck destroying a riverboat with his bare hands, and a concert piano.

* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has built up something of a reputation as a [[FailureHero supremely ineffective, bondage-prone D-lister]], at least when against super(or otherwise)villains who seem to adhere to the "unspoken rules," the most important one being "no killing". When the chips are down, especially [[MamaBear if her friends are directly threatened]], she tends to fly into a rage (or in one notable occasion, her suit does) and lay an [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epic]] smackdown. In keeping with her eventual CharacterDevelopment as a GuileHero, even her enraged shouting is usually very coherent and no more prone to BuffySpeak than her usual vocalizations.

* In the ''{{Hush}}'' storyline, Franchise/{{Batman}} goes into one of these when it seems that SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker killed his childhood friends. Flashing back through all the people the Joker's victimized and killed over the years (mostly Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, and Sarah Essen), he goes into an Unstoppable Rage, taking down Comicbook/HarleyQuinn and Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} (the latter of which was on his side, but simply trying to stop him from killing the Joker), and stalking the Joker through an alley.

Even after getting shot, Batman's still thinking of all the different ways he could kill Joker (something along the lines of "pushing his skeleton through his mouth"), but at least he wasn't choking him any more.

* Similar to the Franchise/WonderWoman example above, Orion from the Comicbook/NewGods has an intense, building rage inside him that's held back by a Mother Box. The reason for this is that his father is {{Darkseid}}, and the burning hatred for all living things is InTheBlood.

** ''{{JLA-Avengers}}''. Superman [[RedEyesTakeWarning becomes so outraged]] while fighting TheMightyThor, he knocks him out while even {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing "UpToEleven".

** [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like father, like daughter]]. Do ''not'' attempt to hurt Wolverine or anyone else {{X-23}} loves, or you'll be sent home in pieces.

A [[IncrediblyLamePun pissed off]] Mr. Castle proceeded to pack up his M-249 and consecutively attack various criminal hideouts, racking up 68 bodies... in ''one night''.

** Similarly, {{Nightwing}} flies off the handle and ''kills'' Joker (Batman revived him, mostly because his proteges have no business becoming murderers) when he believes Joker has killed Robin III and Joker has also taunted him about killing [[DeadSidekick Robin II]] (Jason Todd).

** {{Huntress}}, in her SecretIdentity, is a teacher. She [[BerserkButton doesn't take well]] [[MamaBear to people threatening her students]].
