* Marv from ''[[Sin City]]'' is filled to the brim with Mangst after Goldie's murder.
* ''[[Batman]]''. There is a reason his dead parents get mentioned on average every second issue.
Line 45:
** Other heroes tend to either roll their eyes at this or take it way too seriously. The former think his coping mechanism is whacked and he must be dangerously close to insanity because of it, while the latter have gone through ''much'' worse (like the [[Martian Manhunter]], whose entire planet was decimated and family killed, and unlike [[Superman]], actually ''remembers'' them) yet still think that Batman's experience was so horrible that it excuses [[Jerkass]] behavior that wouldn't be tolerated from anyone else.
*** Perhaps a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] on the Manhunter's part, if he's aware of the fact that Batman has total recall (which he very well could, being psychic). In that case, it's not what happened to Batman, but the fact that because he has an eidetic memory, ''the pain of his parents' deaths has never and will never fade.''
**** There is a scene in ''JLA: Midsummer's Nightmare'' where J'onn is in a rage over having been forcibly pulled out of an illusion-world where his family was still alive, and screamed at the Justice League that they could not comprehend the full depth of what he'd just lost... only to immediately go silent at Batman's calm reminder that Bruce also knows full well what its like to lose your entire family at once.
* ''[[The Punisher]]''.
** Especially in [[The Movie|the film version]].
