Line 23:
* [[The Punisher]] gets this quite often from the criminals he hunts down. One notable instance was in "The Slavers" arc of the MAX series, where Castle walks up behind a group of goons [[Attempted Rape|attempting to rape]] a woman in an alley. One of the thugs is so completely horrified that he drops to his knees and [[Say Your Prayers|starts praying for forgiveness]].
** The Punisher is also one of a ''very'' small number of people to have made [[Complete Monster|The]] [[Monster Clown|Joker]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121029130243/http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/13800/462382-punisher_vs._joker_2_super.jpg practically brown his pants on-panel].
* In ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'', {{spoiler|Ozymandias}} reveals every small detail of his evil plot to Nite Owl and Rorschach until Nite Owl finally asks when he was planning to "do it." The look on the two heroes' faces is priceless, at which point [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Not.
** Soon after, Laurie shoots {{spoiler|Ozymandias}}, who appears to be killed or incapacitated by the bullet. {{spoiler|Then he opens his hand to reveal that he has in fact caught it and is unharmed.}} Laurie is suitably stunned at the revelation.
*** Not an {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap]] moment, really. The damage was already done. More of a failed vengeance.}}
Line 52:
* During George Perez and [[Kurt Busiek]]'s run on ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'', the heroes (which, at that moment, included Cap, Justice, Firestar, Hawkeye and newcomer Triathlon) were fighting a group of terrorists in an airport... A fight that was getting really, really tough for the heroes. Until, from offscreen... [[Thor|"I SAY THEE NAY !!!"]]. Cue the bad guys crapping their pants so hard they switch their plan from "let's beat up the heroes!" to "let's blow up the building so that they'd be too busy protecting the civilians to catch us!".
* Common in the ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' graphic novels, particularly because the villains tend to be so apocalyptically full of themselves ''before'' the fit hits the fan. Anton Arcane's stymied bafflement, when he finds out {{spoiler|it's not Alec Holland he's facing, but a pissed-off wood elemental}} is priceless, and it resurfaces in Hell when he learns just how long he's been there ({{spoiler|one day... so far}}). Likewise, Woodrue's expression as the Green breaks off their psychic link, leaving him powerless and bereft, is both haunting ''and'' an [[Oh Crap]] moment.
* ''[[RED (comics)|RED]]'' has a great one at the end, when Beesley is on the phone with Moses thinking he's won, and confidently telling him that unless he stops he will place an order to have Paul's niece murdered. {{spoiler|Then they hear a knock on the door behind them, and Moses calmly walks in with his cell phone and a gun having slaughtered the rest of their defenses... during the conversation.}} The look on his face is priceless
* Detective Comics #826: Robin gets caught in the middle of a gang shootout. His motorcycle is wrecked and he needs cover. A concerned citizen sees the fight from his van and calls Robin over.
{{quote|'''Robin:''' I don't know who that is and at this point, I don't care. I need distance from those thugs. Besides, any port in a storm...
Line 58:
** Then {{spoiler|the Joker}} gets a brief moment when Robin screws up his plan, uses his last trap against him, and leaves him standing in front of an oncoming Mack truck.
* In ''[[Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', the stock response when the titular team members find out that they're fighting Overlord is "Oh crap". Even twin badasses Topspin and Twin Twist have this reaction.
* In the Marvel event ''[[Siege (comics)|Siege]]'', Taskmaster warns Norman Osborn to turn around, which he does to find Captain America's shield about to hit him in the face. Though his face is hidden behind his armor, you can imagine his expression when the comic dedicates four entire panels just to show the shield edging closer and closer to his face.
* The look on [[Blood Knight|Bolphunga The Unrelenting's]] face when he finds out why [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gd8NBIma-zo/S1iUHvq7mXI/AAAAAAAAMCI/RYTLZjGTdis/s1600-h/mogoDoesntSocialize3.jpg Mogo doesn't socialize].
* ''[[Birds of Prey (comics)|Birds of Prey]]'' (second series) #1: Black Canary's reaction when {{spoiler|she and Huntress find themselves facing off against an Asian woman who is a very skilled martial artist. In her words, ''"Two terrifying names, two impossible possibilities spring to mind. Cassandra Cain. Or, god help us... Shiva Woosan. In either case, there's a good chance neither of us makes it out of this stinking, filthy alley tonight."''}}
* ''[[Gotham Central]]'' {{spoiler|Renee Montoya}} accidentally lets slips, to the ''Captain'' no less, that {{spoiler|Romy Chandler had her gun taken from her by Batman, after the detective shot at him.}} Everyone knows what's coming, and there's a single panel of Renee standing with her face displaying this perfectly.
