Line 135:
* Angela del Toro (also known as White Tiger) was killed by Lady Bullseye this way. See [http://www.comicvine.com/white-tiger/29-1925/all-images/108-199481/dd_0018b/105-624450/ here]. She was revived soon after though.
* Kendra Saunders (also known as Hawkgirl) ended up experiencing this in the ''[[Blackest Night]]'' storyline. See [http://www.comicvine.com/hawkgirl/29-6903/all-images/108-216978/hawkgirl___death/105-880405/ here].
* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'': Snake Eyes actually does this to Scarlett! See [http://www.comicvine.com/scarlett/29-11061/all-images/108-212359/img_new_0014/105-1017212/ here]. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]<ref>Scarlett was working for Cobra as a [[Fake Defector]], Snake Eyes knew that, and he did it to maintain the charade. A very brutal case of taking one for the team.</ref>
* ''[[X-Men]]'': Mystique did this to Rogue at one point. Gambit and Rogue both received this ''simultaneously'' at another point!
* Marvel's ''[[Ultimate Universe]]'': Loki did this to Valkyrie. See [http://www.comicvine.com/valkyrie/29-6809/all-images/108-213425/val_loki/105-1311175/ here].
Line 306:
* On ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'', Gabby's evil mayor husband ended up impaled by a white picket fence. Symbolism anyone?
* One particularly tough [[Locked Room Mystery]] in ''[[Jonathan Creek]]'' appeared to be caused by a suit of samurai armour stabbing someone through the chest. It was actually caused by [[Animal Wrongs Group|animal rights protesters]] sending the victim an envelope laced with a hallucinogen. When he licked the envelope, the delirium caused by the drug drove him to climb his bookshelf, slip, and fall onto the raised katana of his lovingly restored samurai armour, the whole thing being one giant [[Necro Non Sequitur]].
*
** Cordelia Chase is impaled on rebar and subsequently lives.
** This was based on a similar incident that happened to Cordelia's actress, [[Charisma Carpenter]].
*** The same thing happens to Angel on his [[Angel|own show]]. A [[Continuity Nod]] is made.
{{quote|'''Angel:''' Do you have any idea how much it hurts to get a piece of rebar through your chest?
'''Cordelia:''' Actually, yes. }}

** Also, most vampires, generally in a fairly perfunctory fashion. The Master and Kakistos got the more dramatic version. Angel also got repeatedly impaled, always non-fatally.
*** Well, except that one time, though in that case it wasn't the impalement that killed him. It was a metal sword after all. And probably not through his heart.
** Giles does this to the Mayor - with a sword - when the villain comes to gloat in the first part of "Graduation Day". It doesn't kill him (he is protected by a spell of immortality) but it ''is'' [[Catharsis]], given what a [[Smug Snake]] he is.
* In the ''[[Lost]]'' episode "The Other 48 Days," Ana-Lucia discovers Goodwin is [[The Mole]]. He attacks her, flinging himself onto the pointy walking stick she's been carrying around all episode. Because of [[Anachronic Order]], we actually see the grisly result in the episode ''before'' that one.
** Phil gets a magnetically-thrown iron through his chest in the season 5 finale.
