10	* ''ComicBook/TheBeauty'': Ezerae states that kids can be assholes, while showing a picture of her getting beaten up on the playground as a kid (and as a boy).
11	* [[ComicBook/{{Carnage}} Cletus Kassidy]] started out in this trope and ''[[FromBadToWorse got worse from there]]''. To wit, he killed his dog, his family and apparently burnt down the orphanage he was sent to before he became a teen.
12	* ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComics Little Archie]]'' was [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/8-bizarre-horrors-found-in-squarest-comic-book-ever/ "the literal 9/11 of Hitler rape."]]
13	* ''ComicBook/{{Robin}}'': Damian Wayne is currently the youngest member of the Batfamily and one of its least pleasant members with his superiority complex and AntiHero tendencies. Snobbish, self-entitled, and manipulative, he constantly rubs others the wrong way and it took a while for him to get over his "killing is okay" mindset instilled in him by his mother, Talia al Ghul. Nevertheless, he still has his moments, such as the time he dropped the younger and naive [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Jonathan Kent]] off an eighty story building just to distract ComicBook/LexLuthor with full knowledge that he was unable to fly.
14	* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways 2015}}'', all the horrors of the [[AcademyOfEvil Doom Institute]] were orchestrated by Valeria von Doom, God-Emperor Doom's brilliant but sadistic four-year-old daughter.
15	* On the same note, the first villain of ''ComicBook/SuperSons'' is a boy calling himself Kid Amazo. After he and the rest of his family gained superpowers through the Amazo Virus, they fell into in-fighting that ended with Kid Amazo murdering his entire family out of the scorn he believed they had for him.
16	* This plays into a notable event in Rorschach's past in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''. [[spoiler:Rorschach was the son of a prostitute who often beat him. One day, when he was ten years old and sent out to get some milk, two fifteen-year-old boys accosted him and kept up the taunt of "whoreson" and demanded to be hooked up with Rorschach's mother. Rorschach, at age ten, partially blinded one boy with the boy's own cigarette, and swarmed the other one. Rorschach was taken into custody, and then put in state school when his home life was discovered.]]
17	* The ''Comicbook/XMen'' in every incarnation displays this trope. X-Men being what they are, this is liable to fall under BullyingADragon.
18	* ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'': Wiccan's backstory is this mixed with BewareTheQuietOnes; when a bully was beating him up for intervening, he accidentally electrocuted the boy, discovering his powers for the first time.
19	* The Plutonian, from ''ComicBook/{{Irredeemable}}'', was forced to put up with bullying, as a child, because any retaliation could have killed the kids bullying him. After his FaceHeelTurn, he uses that to justify his willingness to murder children.
