* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]''. "A star for Starr." And that's only the beginning...
* Several ''[[Love and Rockets]]'' characters, especially Casimira, who lost her arm when she was accidentally shot as a child, and Khamo, who was horribly burned when he tried to save his lover [[Tonantz Ã]]­n from burning herself alive.
* Katchoo in ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' has Z-shaped scars on her wrists, presumably from a [[Bungled Suicide|suicide attempt]], but there is no official explanation in canon. Tambi seems to have scars everywhere except on her face, but the criss-crossing ones on her hands are the most obvious. There is a canonical explanation for ''her'' scars: {{spoiler|she used to [[Self -Harm|cut herself]] to while in the employ of [[Bad Boss|Darcy Parker]].}}.
* ''[[Deadpool]]'' has a healing factor which is directly responsible for his scars; it prevents him from dying of his terminal cancer, but also supercharged aforementioned cancer, making the skin all over his body kind of melty and gross. Subverted as the scars are in constant flux, healing and getting cancerrific and healing again.

* In ''[[Halloween (Film)|Halloween]] II'' (2009), Annie Brackett has scars on her face from Michael Myers torturing her in the preceding film.
* Astonishingly averted in ''[[Man With the Screaming Brain]].'' Cole spends half the movie running around with his forehead [
* Averted in ''[[The Princess Bride (Film)|The Princess Bride]]''. Inigo points out his facial scars, but they're hard to notice before or after unless you're looking closely.
** Played straight in the book, where they are mentioned as a prominent feature.

* Ronon Dex from ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' has scars on his back from his attempts to remove the tracking device the Wraith implanted there. His temporarily superpowered friend Rodney asks him if the scars are a badge of honor or a painful reminder, and then heals them.
