Line 29:
* ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' showed this in a few cases.
** In Slade's backstory, he apologized to his wife for getting Joey, their toddler son, permanently injured by assassins that help Joey hostage. Her response was to put a bullet through his eye. (She was aiming for the head, but he heard the pistol cock.)
** Robin couldn't stop apologizing to Starfire after learning that {{spoiler|Mirage kidnapped and impersonated her, and Kory lampshades how he
** When Dark Angel erased Donna from existence, Wally West managed to bring her back with his memories of her. Just one problem: he brought back the idealized version of Donna, not the actual person. Donna suffered an existential crisis as a result, questioning if she was real or just the girl on whom Wally crushed. He tries to apologize and bring her back to the person she was, but she rebuffed him. Even when Donna regained her true self, they remained friends.
** In the ''Teen Titans: Year One'' miniseries, Donna accidentally trashed Roy Harper's car while on a date. That there was a supervillain involved was besides the point, since Donna lost her head, and control of her powers. She was genuinely sorry, but Speedy wouldn't hear it. The other Titans reamed him out for this when they found it, since it was a legitimate accident. As adults, however, Donna is more philosophical about it since they were all kids.
** The 2003 reboot started with Cassie's high school expelling her for being a superhero, specifically Wonder Girl. Her mother tries to defend her, pointing out that Cassie is being punished for doing good; the principal responds that they can't have a "pagan" in class, and her daughter isn't normal. Cassie, still traumatized by Donna Troy's death, responds by punching the teacher's desk. Realizing what she did, she runs off apologizing. Needless to say, she still gets expelled.
