Line 20:
** On a different occasion, Lady Shiva battled against [[Batgirl]] (later revealed to be her own daughter, Cassandra Cain) and "killed" her by stopping her heart for a length of time and then reviving her. Batgirl, as a former [[Child Soldier|Child Assassin]] that became [[The Atoner]], was a [[Death Seeker]] just like Shiva, which is something Shiva didn't find particularly sporting, so she killed and resurrected her enemy just to give Batgirl a taste of death that would ease her guilty conscience. It worked, and Batgirl went on to win their duel.
* Marvel has Arcade, whose M.O. was trapping heroes in carnival-themed death traps and getting his kicks on seeing them try to escape. He claims that his Murderworlds are designed so that the heroes all have a chance to escape. A small chance, but a chance nonetheless.
* In the ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'' graphic novel (and most adaptations) the League of Evil Exes seems like a rather petty group of villains (seeking to kill Scott because Ramona had previously dated and dumped them) but they do have a self-imposed [[Scoundrel Code]]. To wit, they all must confront Scott one-on-one in the order Ramona dated them<ref>[[Dual Boss| the Katayanagi Twins]] can bend that rule, as Ramona was dating both simultaneously, while Roxie outright breaks it in the film version, making an attempt on Scott before it is "her turn".</ref> and cannot harm Ramona, as she is the reason they exist in the first place. Some show additional qualities of this; Matthew warns Scott ahead of time via email, Todd giving Scott a chance to forfeit (by giving up Ramona, of course) and most of them willing to pause the fight so Ramona [[Ms. Exposition| can at least explain how the break-up happened.]]
