Honor Before Reason/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Honor Before Reason in Web Original works include:

  • Neil Sinclair of Survival of the Fittest fits this trope. The primary example of such behaviour is trusting Dominica Sharpiro by offering her a place in his Pro escape group, despite knowing, for certain that she earlier killed another group member who became separated from the others.
  • Captain America's respect for the American legal system is shown in this story where despite being the defendant in a negligent manslaughter case (a frame-up by the villain Dr. Faustus), gives his own lawyer - She-Hulk - a very hard job. He insists on Matt Murdock representing the prosecution (if he has a lawyer learned in "superhero law", he feels the other side should), refusing to let Jenn use inadmissible or illegally-obtained evidence, and so on. Fortunately, the jury rules in Cap's favor anyway (because, let's face it, no jury is willing to take a dead criminal's word over Captain America's) and then all three heroes go to beat the snot out of Faustus.
