** Aside from the walkers, there's also the Governor. He succeeds in killing Hershel as well as Andrea, though Andrea manages to hold him off for a while. The Governor is also shown to have wiped out a military squad so that he could take their supplies for Woodbury. He also kills Merle, but it's more of a [[Redemption Equals Death]] for the character.

** Negan manages to kill both Abraham and Glenn within the span of two episodes. And it's only a matter of time before he has the heroes outnumbered, hence Jenner telling Rick early on in the series he won't be grateful to him for letting the sheriff survive.

** In the ''first episode'' of ''[[Power Rangers Time Force]]'', the Red Ranger of the future is killed by Ransik, a big part of the plot of that series being to undo what happened and [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]. Interestingly, despite holding this Trope, Ransik is far less evil than most [[Big Bad]]s managing to pull a [[Heel Face Turn]] at the end.
