* One of the major elements in the cosmogony of ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' is that the Primarchs, genetically engineered [[Super Soldier]] sons of the [[God-Emperor]], were stolen and later corrupted by Chaos. His favored son Horus fell the hardest, and eventually led the rebellion against him, until they faced off in a duel. Though he (Horus) died in the attempt, the Emperor was essentially turned into a barely more than a corpse, hooked up to an enormous machine that allows his body to continue living while his spirit continues to guide humanity (literally, in the case of the Navigators).

Line 68:
* Under the Lich King's influence, Arthas Menethil kills his father for the crown of Lordaeron after being turned into a Death Knight in ''[[Warcraft]] 3''. A mook even calls him out on it, demanding to know "How could you murder your own father?"
* ''[[God of War]]'': Like in several Greek myths examples, Zeus hears a prophecy that his son Kratos would try to kill him and usurp his throne. This prompts Zeus to kill Kratos and send him to Hades, in turn prompting Kratos to escape [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy|and kill Zeus]].
* ''[[Soul Series|Soul Edge/Soul Blade]]'': A young Siegfried Schtauffen and his band of rogues attack a group of knights that they believe to be deserting the army. Unbeknownst to them, the group in question was simply returning home after their victory. Siegfried engages in battle with the leader of this group and beheads him; holding up the head in the moonlight reveals the identity of his prey: ''his own father Frederick''. The realization [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|pretty much shatters his mind]], forcing Siegfried [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia|to go into denial]], believing that [[You Killed My Father|someone else killed his father.]] He decides to search for [[Evil Weapon|Soul]] [[Artifact of Doom|Edge]] in order to defeat this man, [[The Corruption|and]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|the]] [[From Nobody to Nightmare|rest]] [[Face Heel Turn|is]] [[Big Bad|history]].
* Near the end of ''[[Exit Fate]]'', Daniel kills his own father, Emperor Siegfried, who tried to [[The Pawn|determine his life]] via [[Demonic Possession|demonic]][[Super-Powered Evil Side|possession]].
* In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the titular character kills his father Big Boss when he goes rogue. Snake is later called out on this in Metal Gear Solid by his support-worker Naiomi
