Terrifying Rescuer: Difference between revisions

* Done a lot in [[One Piece]]. We have [[The Berserker|Monster Point Chopper]] in the Enies Lobby arc, inadvertently saving many of his [[True Companions]] while also trying to kill them. Aokiji saves Robin in her backstory, while killing his own ally right in front of her. Crocodile gets Luffy out of Impel Down and—while that had a reason; he wanted out too—he later takes blows for Luffy and orders Mr. 1 to do the same as they attempt to rescue Ace. This is partially because he's done a... well, a "Heel Neutral Turn," and partly because Luffy just has that much charisma.

 

* A ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' comic has Blue Devil suffer a [[Heroic BSOD]] when he tries to save a child who's too scared of his demonic appearance to go with him. Dr. Fate tries to cheer him up by telling him that ''[[Superman]]'' actually had the same problem once, while trying to save a girl from a flaming plane wreck.

* In one ''[[Hellblazer]]'' story, a little girl is kidnapped by a demon and kept caged inside his body. John is allowed to see her, and as he's being removed, reaches towards her yelling [[Big Damn Heroes|"We're coming to get you!"]] and wondering why she's backing away as far as the cage allows. [[Fridge Horror|Only later does he realize]] that what the girl saw was [[Womb Level|an indistinct shape covered in slime]] reaching towards her yelling [[Nightmare Fuel|"We're coming to get you!"]]
