Line 138:
** Werewolf mom Jetta when her son Pojo is abducted. Then again, not only is she a rather traumatized individual of a species ''bred'' to be violent killers, she is also the ''only'' female capable of her species capable of having children, and Pojo is her newborn, first child. All things considered, her reaction was one of thoughtful consideration, really.
* The female Dr. Light proved her Mama Bear status in print, in an alternate timeline in a recent issue of ''[[Booster Gold]]'', by killing the evil Max Lord for killing her kids. And thus, [[Fanon]] becomes semi-[[Canon]]: ''Don't mess with Kimiyo Hoshi's children!!'' In the main timeline, when the [[Blackest Night|superpowered zombie]] Dr Arthur Light threatened her children, Dr Light was able to {{spoiler|create a bright and powerful enough light to ''completely atomize him''}}.
* One issue of ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' had Reed and Susan's daughter Valeria caught in the middle of a rampage created by Thundra, the Absorbing Man, and a mind-controlled Ben Grimm and She-Hulk. She's about to be squished when Sue shows up, already in a bad mood. Cue the resulting stomping of four of the most powerful superhumans on Earth. Made even better when Reed and Johnny show up...and Reed restrains Johnny from trying to help Sue, because he knows that she's not going to need any.
** Sue could practically be the goddess of this trope. In the ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]] Vs. the [[X-Men]]'' miniseries, the team is nearly torn apart when an old diary of Reed's seems to imply that he caused the accident that transformed them into the FF on purpose. It's Sue that deduces the diary is a trap laid by Dr. Doom years before. She warns Doom that a lioness is "never as dangerous as when protecting cub, and den, and mate." She then asks Doom if he's ever considered just what would happen if she decided to project an invisible force-field ''inside'' his body...and then expand it.
* In ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'', Adeline Wilson takes this to a pretty scary level. After her husband, [[Career Killer|Slade]] lands their son Jericho in a hostage situation (that ends with their child being rendered permanently mute due to his throat being slit), Adeline shoots Slade in the head. Another, even more extreme example (Though it may not count since [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|she had just gained super powers that made her so psycho]]) occurred when she tried to destroy every super powered person in the '''world''' to {{spoiler|avenge Jericho's death.}}
* Threatening/killing their children/adopted children is one of the few things that can tempt a DCU hero, either [[Papa Wolf|male]] or female, that normally follows [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]] to, well, kill. When [[Black Canary]]'s adopted daughter Sin {{spoiler|apparently}} died during a kidnapping attempt by the League of Assassins, Dinah went ''berserk'' and nearly killed Merlyn, the mastermind of the scheme.
