** And of course the biggest and undisputed moment in the series happened in the backstory during the Nidraa'chal War, when {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune, Sarv'swati and Zala'ess Vel'Sharen}} orchestrated the entire war and the deaths and forceful demonification of hundreds if not ''thousands'' of people in order to {{spoiler|kill their mother Val'Sharess Diva'ratrika by sealing her in her own throne room until she died, and frame their sister Sil'lice and force her into exile}}. And while a case could be made for [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}} was sent even further beyond the horizon at the revelation that {{spoiler|1=[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1275 she's deliberately given faulty demonic seeds to many of her followers that will slowly kill them within 25 to 50 years until only a few of her choosing are left]}}. It's not a matter of if it's going to catch up them as when since the plot is starting to fall down around them.

* In ''[[Scary Go Round]]'', former [[Designated Hero]] Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte's psychopathic jealousy of universally popular heroine Shelley Winters finally drives her to arrange Shelley's death via [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels|biker gang]]. The author confirms her crossing of the M.O.E. by having her sell her soul to the devil and [[Put on a Bus|skip town]]. When she returns a few years later, it's only to have [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|a bridge dropped on her]].

* In [[User:Mr Death]]'s now finished ''[http://as.crowdedstreet.net/Something/ Something!]'', largely a retelling of ''[[Mega Man X]] 4'' and ''[[Mega Man X]] 5'', [[The Mole|Double]], who had been established as a villain, but had mainly been the butt of jokes, ended up crossing the line in the eyes of the comic's readership when it was revealed he was the one who sent Iris to her [[Plotline Death]]. The incident changed the outlook, in general, from "I can't wait to see the fight with him" to "Sonuvabitch needs to ''die''."

* Admiral Blake in ''[[Terinu]]''. Supervising Terinu's arrest and detention in a biological research lab? Decidedly unpleasant. Arranging for his daughter Leeza to be fired from her job and forcing her into being the boy's guardian after she rescues him from said facility? Definitely not good. {{spoiler|Having Leeza arrested and order Terinu's assassination to cover up a centuries old act of genocide?}} The readers were howling for his blood.

* [[Subverted]], after a fashion, in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' when Aylee has a [[Face Heel Turn]], and attacks the [[Main Characters]]' Halloween party. She doesn't actually kill anyone, but she makes it perfectly clear that she ''could'', taunts Riff at how helpless he was at protecting anyone, and threatens to do it for real if he meddles in her affairs again. The subversion comes when we find out {{spoiler|that this wasn't actually Aylee, but an evil clone instead.}}
