* In the ''[[Sandman]]'' issue about the serial killers convention, one of the convention attendees tells another that he got his start by cutting off the heads off of kittens. Notably, the guy was the most sympathetic person in the convention. He clearly understood he was sick, but lacked courage to turn himself in. It's implied that he was looking for peer support for just that.

** Also in ''Sandman'', Desire does a unique kick the dog moment that doubles as a demonstration of what a [[Magnificent Bastard]] he/she is: Desire tells a random party-goer how she can win and cruelly break another woman's heart. Apparently, he/she can figure such things out just by looking at people.

* DC's Maxwell Lord. He shot the [[Blue Beetle|second Blue Beetle]], Ted Kord, in the head. He made [[Green Lantern|Guy Gardner]] flip out at his [[Back From the Dead|revived]] girlfriend, fellow superhero [[An Ice Person|Ice]], for apparently [[Blackest Night|trying to kill him]] (it wasn't really her, but Maxwell "pushed" Guy into thinking it was). If that wasn't dickish enough, he mind controls two police officers into shoooting each other. Their dialogue makes it clear that they don't know what's going on. What makes it even worse is that he could have just mindwiped the police officers instead of killing them.

* Not that Jody from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' needed any further proof of his unredeemable bastardry, but in a feat fitting for the trope, he went beyond kicking Jesse Custer's pet dog Duke when it made the mistake of humping his leg: ''he nailed it by the head on a fence''.

** Ironically, in their final fight, Jesse would nail Jody in the head with a piece of the fence. In both terms. The fact Jody no-sells it gives one last demonstration of [[The Determinator|how inhuman he is]].
