Line 131:
* ''[[Marvel Zombies]]'' pretty much runs on this trope.
* Barry Allen, the second hero called [[The Flash]] is famous for his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' where he saved countless realities from destruction, doing so by running faster than he ever had, creating a vortex in the Speed Force that absorbed the Anti-Monitor's [[Doomsday Device]]. Having said that, his death was ''not'' a pleasant one. To most onlookers, it seemed quick - dying via rapid aging until he turned to dust - but this was not the case to ''his'' point of view, where he literally was experiencing his entire life over and over until he literally ran himself out of existence.
* Goldilocks' death in ''[[Fables]]''. Now, for those who haven't read the series, Goldilocks is ''not'' a sweet kid looking for porridge here, she's an sociopath and assassin; also, in this series, [[Popularity Power]] is an actual super-power, the more well-known a character in a story is, the stronger and more durable she is, so the protagonist of a well-known fairy tale like ''[[Goldilocks and The Three Bears]]'' is almost immortal. Still, Goldilocks' botched attempt on Snow White's life may have made her wish otherwise. Snow stuck her ''in the head'' with an axe, resulting in her tumbling down a cliff, where she was run over by a trailer truck, her mangled body thrown into a river. But she ''wasn't dead'' yet, and was instead trapped in a perpetual state of drowning, too weak to swim to the shore, until ''weeks'' later she was carried out to the ocean where she was [[Eaten Alive]] by fish. For her sake, one can only hope she died as a result.
