* In ''[[Identity Crisis]]'', a JLA comic, Jean Loring, the Atom's ex-wife, attempts to put the Enlongated Man's wife, Sue Dibny, into fake danger so that all heroes, including her ex-husband, would [[Love Makes You Evil|come closer to their loved ones]]. After she accidentally kills her, she goes [[Freak Out|completely nuts]] and has no problem with putting others in mortal danger. Through this, she indirectly causes two more deaths, and even more indirectly causes the death of Firestorm. ([[Alternate Character Interpretation|Alternately]], {{spoiler|Jean is lying about it being an accident; she clearly meant from the beginning to kill Sue (no one "just happens" to be carrying a flamethrower) and one or two other people to cover her tracks.}} Mind, Jean's still clearly nuts, and her first kill visibly shook her more than the ones she arranged later.)

* In ''[[Y the Last Man]]'', 355 gets more and more trigger-happy as the series progresses. And she ''hates'' herself for it.

* Much of ''Wanted'' concerns itself with exactly this trope. It loops around to death being quite bloody horrible once again.

* Jokingly referenced in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'':

{{quote| '''O'Neill''': Something wrong?

'''Carter''': No. I've just never... [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun|blown up a star before]].

'''Carter''': No. I've just never... [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|blown up a star before]].

'''O'Neill''': Well, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|they say the first one's always the hardest]]. }}
