Line 4:
** Also, when Atlas looks over an unconscious [[Supergirl]], who had just been shot by a [[Kill Sat]], he makes a comment that implies that he's going to rape her. Superman's all "HELL NO!" and knocks him into the sky. Sure, Supes would save anyone from that, but Kara is practically his daughter.
* Gary Hampton in ''[[The Astounding Wolf Man]]'' which is fitting because he's in a fact a werewolf. I pity anyone who attempts to harm his daughter.
* In at least two [[Alternate Universe|alternate universes]], [[Batman]] has broken or has been ''really'' close to breaking his [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]] vow when either his adoptive son/sidekick Robin or his protégé/also sidekick [[Batgirl (Comic Book)|Batgirl]] are in trouble. There is one named ''[[The Nail]]'' where {{spoiler|[[
** It's not just the [[Alternate Universe]] Batmen that fall into this trope. In the regular universe, the only times Batman has come REALLY close to killing occur when any Robin/Batgirl/sidekick was threatened or killed. When Jason Todd was murdered, Batman struggled with the urge to kill the Joker (to the point where ''Superman'' showed up to help Batman stop himself from doing anything he might regret later), and the same occurred when Barbara was crippled by the same villain. Then when Black Mask tortured and killed Stephanie Brown a.k.a. Spoiler {{spoiler|(who got better)}}, Batman really tried to ''beat him to death'', and was only stopped by Babs endangering herself on purpose. Finally, when Nightwing was almost killed by Alexander Luthor Jr. in ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', Batman ''grabbed a gun'' and was about to blow Luthor's brains out at point blank range.
** It's kind of a known fact that if you want to grab Batman's attention the best thing to do is threaten the people he works with - ''especially'' [[Nightwing]] or Robin. It's the kind of thing the more deranged villains frequently do, e.g. Joker and Two-Face. Papa Bat knows the kids can take care of themselves, but that's not going to stop him from showing up and 'dealing' with whoever dares to harm his children.
Line 15:
** Recently, in the ''[[Cry for Justice]]'' mini-series, the villain Prometheus's plans managed to result in the maiming of Roy Harper and the death of Roy's daughter, Lian {{spoiler|[[Green Arrow]]'s grand-daughter}}. This results, at the end of the book, in Green Arrow putting an ''arrow'' through Prometheus's brain via his forehead, {{spoiler|after ''[[Blackest Night]]''}}.
* Even one of the villainous rogues in Batman, Dr. Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow, is implied to have tendencies of this. When an [[Alpha Bitch]] outright bullies a distraught girl who was one of his patients, he was apparently angered enough to exact revenge on the same [[Alpha Bitch]] and her friends by gassing them with the Fear Toxin.
** In the premiere issue of ''[[The Batman Adventures]]'', Jonathan Crane begins teaching again under an assumed name and [[Morality Pet|grows to care]] for [[Teen Genius|a bright young student]] under his tutelage. When she gets [[Break the Cutie|abused]] by a [[Jerk Jock]] {{spoiler|in what is heavily implied to be [[Rape
* Bigby in ''[[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]''. Notably, he's an ''actual'' Papa Wolf, being ''the'' [[Big Badass Wolf|Big, Bad one]].
** His father the North Wind as well. After spending most of the series acting like a [[Jerkass God]] who never seemed to care much for Bigby {{spoiler|he sacrifices himself destroying Mister Dark to save his son and his grandchildren.}}
Line 21:
** When a couple of bandits attack them on the highway, {{spoiler|one of them attempts to rape Carl while another restrains Rick. Rick ''RIPS THE BANDIT'S THROAT OUT WITH HIS TEETH'' and proceeds to mercilessly stab the other to death.}}
* In ''[[The Punisher]] MAX'' series, during the arc "The Long, Cold Dark," Castle's vengeful nemesis Barracuda targets the Punisher by {{spoiler|kidnapping the daughter he unknowingly had with Kathryn O'Brien.}} When Castle finds out, he is ''pissed,'' to say the least, and at one point he {{spoiler|spends an hour running electricity from a car battery through Barracuda's genitals just because.}}
** Let's not forget the beginning of the comic, when Barracuda actually gets the drop on Castle and handcuffs him to a chair, then reveals {{spoiler|his daughter and holds a knife to her (and trust us on this, Barracuda ''was'' going to [[Revenge
** Another ''Punisher MAX'' moment. In the story arc "Mother Russia", Castle is charged to rescue a little girl from Russian bad guys (to put it brief: There's a big plot about germ warfare). Upon entering the complex where she is held and meeting her, he says "My name is Frank. If anyone else tries to be mean to you, I will be much, much meaner to them. I promise." Soon after, a skinny, half naked Asian super agent comes and kicks the crap out of Castle with the butt of an AK-47. In a daze, he sees the agent slap the girl. He gets up. The agent throws a kick. Castle grabs his ankle, twists and slams him against the floor, walls, and ceiling until the agent is a pulpy mess and twists his leg off "like a drumstick." Do ''not'' fuck with kids around Frank Castle.
*** Even then, the only reason he stops is because he's scaring the kid.
Line 37:
* Marv from ''[[Sin City]]'' is like this to the girls at Kadie's Bar, especially Nancy. Granted, it's due to his enormous chivalry, but given his age and the ages of most of the dancers, I say it counts. He mentions one moment when a frat boy roughed up Nancy, which hit his [[Berserk Button]] about hitting women in general, and he "straightened him out but good," mentioning that he maybe went a little too far (implying that the other guy didn't survive). There's also the short yarn "Silent Night," where Marv {{spoiler|hears about a mother asking after her missing daughter, then hunts down and kills her abductors (who had been planning to sell the poor girl for sex) and [[Pet the Dog|cradles the terrified child in his arms]] in a rare tender moment before taking her home}}.
** The corrupt police commissioner Liebowitz turns against the Wallenquist crime organization in "Hell and Back" after his [[The Dragon|Dragon]] The Colonel orders the assassin Mariah to break Liebowitz's son's arm to remind Liebowitz of the organization's power over him. Liebowitz responds by organizing a police raid on the organization's human trafficking operations. Then he personally blows The Colonel's brains out and orders his officers to "make a missing person out of the fucker."
* [[Luke Cage, Hero for Hire]]: [[Norman Osborn]] learned the hard way to not endanger Luke Cage's girlfriend (now wife) [[Alias (Comic Book)|Jessica]] and their (then unborn) daughter - Luke beat the tar out of him in public, not caring if his already revealed identity took a nosedive in regards to reputation.
** Later, after ''[[Dark Reign]]'', Cage's [[
* [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]] has his moments in [[Spider-Girl (Comic Book)|Spider-Girl]]. Sure, he may be [[Retired Badass|retired]] and [[Handicapped Badass|missing a leg]], but you shouldn't mess with his kids.
** [[The Atoner|Kaine]] also shows this trait from time to time when his "niece" is in danger. Must be [[Cloning Blues|genetic]].
