Line 61:
* ''[[Red Sonja]]'' became the [[Badass]] warrior she did partly out of a reaction to being raped when she was a girl.
* Janissa, [[Conan the Barbarian|Conan]]'s occasional enemy and ally, was raped by Demons every night until she could fight them off as part of her training to become a master swordswoman in Dark Horse's ''Conan'' Comic Book. Needless to say, people wrote in pissed that the writers were lazy enough to resort to this and her every other appearance in the series inevitably led to the authors apologising, printing the letters of angry readers and promoting rape help-lines.
** The writer was [[Kurt Busiek]], and an editor of later issues of ''Conan'', Rachel Edidin, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130310131606/http://www.girl-wonder.org/insideout/2007/04/16/sexual-assault-in-comics-awareness-month-conan-12-revisited/ wrote a blog post commenting on reader reactions] (part of a series of posts for Sexual Assault Awareness Month: they are all worth reading).
* Bleez of the [[Green Larntern|Red Lanterns]] was ganged raped by Sinestro Corps members in a creepy [[Rape Is Love]] kind of way, at least it goes with the current theme that all Red Lanterns are victims.
* [[Daredevil|Lady Bullseye]] from ''[[Daredevil]]''. She was kidnapped and repeatedly raped by the Yakuza, before being accidentally freed by Bullseye, which inspired her to become an assassin like him.
