* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]: Oracle For Hire'' has Celesto Morgan, who is determined to "cleanse the world" by killing a lot of people he thinks deserve to die, as exemplified in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140921191019/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-01-25 these] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121126081239/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-03-09 strips]. Dominic hinges on being one for a while in the same story arc, until he is shown a group of people who willingly sacrificed themselves to protect their friends; this shakes him out of the "The world is horrific" viewpoint he was holding.

* In ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'', Lich von Vampire believes that all life exists to die. The cultists and Black Mage also seem to have a nihilistic philosophy.

* In ''[[Suppression]]'' Samantha Wight delivers a speech to this effect when she first appears, but on that same note believes their efforts to be so pointless that she lets them pass afterward. {{spoiler|Which they would have done if Bael's [[Berserk Button]] hadn't been pressed a few too many times.}}
