* As of the second episode of the second season, [[Archer]] has {{spoiler|implanted a faulty Russian Mind Control chip into the head of Len Trexler, head of ODIN.}} Even Archer himself feels bad about it, if it has any permanent damaging side effects.

* [[Gorillaz|Murdoc]] constantly teetered on the line between [[Jerkass]] and [[Complete Monster]], but he finally crossed it when he kidnapped and imprisoned 2D. It wouldn't be quite so bad if not for all the [[Fridge Horror|horrific undertones]] of the drugging, incarceration and physical abuse. Granted, 2D was never the bravest or keenest individual, but he was always pretty harmless. Murdoc's brutality and the constant isolation have all but [[Break the Cutie|broken]] the singer, and it's around that point that Murdoc bridged the [[Moral Event Horizon]].

* Though he had previously been sympathetic, [[Batman: The Animated Series|Mr. Freeze]] crossed the line when, even after his wife's life has been saved during the events of ''Sub-Zero'', he decides to [[Revenge by Proxy|take his anger out on other people by destroying what they love since he feels he can't go back to her]]. Though his behavior up to this point had been petty and cruel, ''this'' really seals the deal:
