* Some versions of [[Batman]] have him as a victim of lifelong survivor's guilt from childhood for surviving his parent's murder as if he failed them in some way.
** Also Commissioner Gordon in [[Batman: Dark Victory]] after he survives an attack by the Hangman, but one of his [[By-The-Book Cop|Untouchables]] does not.
* The main reason why [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]' Beast Boy is constantly joking and acting like a class clown? He's got a massive case of this; cracking jokes is how he stays anything remotely sane. ''Terror of Trigon'' made hay out of this by having him hallucinate an [[Evil Counterpart]] that was ripping the hearts out of and then ''[[I'm a Humanitarian|eating]]'' his friends and family.
* Depending on the writer, ''[[X-Men]]'''s Emma Frost sometimes exhibits varying degrees of mild depression to full on psychotic behavior for being the sole survivor of the mutant massacre of Genosha.
