* Herr Starr, from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'', who destroys a subordinate's report with a handgun for [http://www.freewebs.com/dobermansatplay/Preacher3.jpg "Improper use of inverted commas!]"{{Broken link}} (The subordinate had used quotation marks, instead of bold or italic face, for emphasis.)
* Yorick from ''[[Y: The Last Man|Y the Last Man]]'' is an English major and as such, often points out others grammatical mistakes and even his own on occasion. An especially nice example is when he tells a journalist that she splits more infinitives than Gene Roddenberry.
* Minor ''[[Spider-Man]]'' villain Spellcheck is such a stickler for grammar, syntax, and usage that he, inspired by the letter and punctuation themed Typeface, puts on a costume and beats people up over it. He goes after Spider-Man because the hyphen in his name is unnecessary.
* [[Lobo]] had once been captured by Grammar Nazis who forced him into a competition to see if he would be allowed to join them in their crusade to cleanse language from error (and exterminate malapropers). It ended when Lobo tried to get his grade school teacher out of the competition, only for her to reveal he had cut her legs and them preparing to kill him by shooting... And removing him from the gas trap that was keeping him at bay. No Grammar Nazi survived the encounter.
* The [[Green Lantern]] miniseries ''Emerald Dawn 2'' shows Sinestro correcting the syntax of people he's beating down back when he's Hal Jordan's Corps-appointed mentor.
