* More of a case of obsession before reason, but Rorschach from ''[[Watchmen]]'' has "Never Compromise" as his motto in the face or murderers and rapists, and the people who would stop him. {{spoiler|This leads to his death as he refuses to allow [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Ozymandias]] to go free, despite that this would render the death of millions meaningless and restart the cold war.}} |

* In ''[[ROM Spaceknight]]'', the title character found himself in such a situation when he had captured a disguised Dire Wraith disguised as a human scientist, but her security staff, unaware of her true nature, had arrived to help her. The Dire Wraith dared him to banish her at the cost that it will appear he killed her and he would likely never be able to convince humanity of the truth. Rom considers this, but since a friend had [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrificed his life]] to free his main weapon, he cannot have that sacrifice be for nothing. So, he banishes her and prepares to deal with the consequences. |

* Yorick of ''[[Y |
* Yorick of ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' is like this for the first part of the series. Two major examples: He's the last living male human, yet tries not to cheat on his girlfriend who is half a world away. He comes across a town that's entirely populated by convicts from the near by women's correctional facility. Despite this, it seems to be one of the few nice places [[After the End]] and is actually very stable. Yorick wants to turn them in to the government. |

** It should be noted that Yorick has a nasty combination of Survivor's Guilt and general Catholic Guilt, along with a variety pack of mental hang-ups, that cause him to do not necessarily what is right, but what is mostly likely to make people hate and want to kill him (Honor Before Survival, in other words). |

* ''[[Transformers]]'': There was the time Optimus Prime allowed himself to be destroyed because of a ''video game'' that he and Megatron were connected to in order to decide a battle. A game that ''he'd won,'' but by taking several [[NPC|NPCs]] out with Megs -- something he'd never do in reality, so he considered himself the loser. |
