A character with Medium Awareness or No Fourth Wall is bothered by the fact. They find the idea of being fictional uncomfortable, whether or not it involves Rage Against the Author. Examples include Animal Man (Animal Man suffers an existential crisis when he realizes he's fictional, and the Psycho-Pirates causes problems out of rage against the fact), Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe (this Deadpool becomes even more psychopathic and goes on a murder spree because he wants to free people from the pain of being fictional, and later tries to destroy the literary inspiration of comic book characters to destroy Marvel Comics itself), The Fairly OddParents! (the Crimson Chin has a Heroic BSoD learning he's a Show Within a Show until Timmy can convince him otherwise)
