* ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'': Has Tristan Stallings and Vashi, Tristan starts the comic in league with the Vashi, underling of the evil demon lord Yzin, Vashi promises that when she and Yzin take over the world that Tristan can have France. Vashi quickly reveals however once Tristan has done a bunch of dirty work for her that she had no intention of keeping said promise, so Tristan punches Vashi so hard she lands in China (from the USA). Later after Tristan's HeelFaceTurn and unlocking of her MagicalGirlWarrior powers she makes a point of being the once to defeat Vashi once and for all.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Seymour to Lil'E.

* ''Webcomic/TheWotch'': Xaos to The Wotch.

** There's probably a little between Slick and Geisha as well, but [[FoeYay there may be more to it]].

* Penny is Jason's arch enemy in ''Webcomic/ItsWalky''.

* ''Webcomic/TheWotch'': Xaos to The Wotch.

** The main female in every evil joint the Order encounters is bound to become an Arch Enemy of Haley (the Thieves' Guild - Crystal, the bandits - Samantha, the Linear Guild - Sabine and Kitty the hawk, Team Evil - Tsukiko), though only about half of them stick around. The exception so far is the Empress of Blood, probably because no one wants to be the Arch Enemy of ''that''.
*** Belkar, at least, is of the impression that Sabine is Haley's one true Arch Enemy. This is actually Lampshaded by Haley, who notes this tendency and comments that she should have chosen 'Favored Enemy - [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains Flying Skank]]' as her class ability.

* ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'': Andy's nemesis is UsefulNotes/GroverCleveland. Yes, [[HistoricalHilarity the president]].
* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'': Until the latest chapter the series really wasn't ''that'' melodramatic, but now for Dan it's a toss up between Dark Pegasus and Regina Darkblood. Dark Pegasus is more dangerous and recurring (Dan has killed him twice), but with Regina it is far, far more personal.
* ''{{Webcomic/Lightbringer}}'': Darkbringer for Lightbringer. Both believe in an objective morality, but whereas Lightbringer believes what is "good" is the correct moral standard Darkbringer believes what is "evil" is the correct moral standard.
* SuperHero Plot Twist from ''Webcomic/{{Acrobat}}'' has PlotHole (yes, that's how they're calling themselves). ItsPersonal, but no one, even Plot Twist, knows why.
** Also, Coil had Mr. Kawagai [[spoiler: before he committed suicide]] and Magnum has guy who created his armor.
* ''Webcomic/{{Energize}}'': Energize has Saroth and Cheggras, while Ferless has Death.
* ''Webcomic/{{Dasien}}'': Dasien has Lord Crismon.
* ''Webcomic/MechagicalGirlLisaANT'': Lisa has Evil MagicalGirl Pink Flash.
* ''Webcomic/HeroByNight'': The Hero's archnemesis is Iron Talon, an alchemist who helped the Holocaust.
* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': [[TricksterMentor Sarda]] to [[HeroicComedicSociopath Black]] [[VillainProtagonist Mage]], for seemingly no reason. [[spoiler:[[TheReveal At first]].]]
* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' has Daisy Archanis and Jason Spades; Jason probably cares more about Daisy than vice versa, though in Daisy's defense, she's got a lot more to worry about (namely, [[BigBad Veled]]) most of the time.
** There's probably a little between Slick and Geisha as well, but [[FoeYay there may be more to it]].

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfGynoStar'' features two main arch-enemies: Uber-sexist Vlad Deferens, and The Stay-at-Home Mommy.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Seymour to Lil'E.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', the trolls recognize archenmity as a type of romantic, sexual relationship known as ''kismeissitude''. Examples are Snowman/Spades Slick, past Eridan/Vriska, past but very recent Terezi/Vriska, and Karkat/John (unrequited because human John doesn't have a concept of romantic hate). In Act 6, [[spoiler:Karkat seems to be soliciting Dave as a kismesis, as Dave has drawn Terezi's romantic (non-hate) attention away from Karkat. Dave does not react well to this; like John, he's not comfortable with romantic hate, especially from another male.]]
** [[BigBad Jack Noir]] would count as a more straightforward use of this trope.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'': Vesper describes her aloof, absolutely formal and proper aunt Agatha as her "first archnemesis".
* {{Deconstructed}} with Amber and Sal in Webcomic/DumbingOfAge. Sal long ago [[OneSidedRivalry forgot the face of the person]] who stabbed her in the hand while being arrested, and has reformed into a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] JerkWithAHeartOfGold. But Amber is so obsessively focused on Sal because of her [=PTSD=] that she ignores any good that Sal does and [[IRejectYourReality tries to twist it to fit her own vision of her as a horrible, irredeemable person]], up to ''and including Sal'' '''''[[UngratefulBastard saving her life]]''''', because she sees Sal as her ArchEnemy, and is also possibly a DeathSeeker.
* ''Webcomic/{{Aisopos}}'': After killing both of his parents and taking him as a slave, Yadom becomes this to young Aesop. Not helping by the daily humiliation and torment, which made his loathing for him even greater. Even after managing to escape and live far away from him for ten years, Aesop still hasn't forgotten what Yadmon had done to him and seeks revenge.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'' - Vesper describes her aloof, absolutely formal and proper aunt Agatha as her "first archnemesis".

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Bun-Bun's arch-nemesis is Santa Claus, whom he tries to kill every Christmas that he's not stuck in an endless void outside of time. Bun-Bun doesn't actually remember ''why'' he hates Santa so much, but he's not about to let that stand in the way of a good grudge.

* Penny is Jason's arch enemy in {{Its Walky}}
* Grace and Damien were arch enemies in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''

** [[BigBad Jack Noir]] would count as a more straightforward use of this trope.

* ''{{Energize}}'' - Energize has Saroth and Cheggras, while Ferless has Death.

* ''MechagicalGirlLisaANT'' - Lisa has Evil MagicalGirl Pink Flash.
* ''HeroByNight'' - The Hero and Iron Talon

* ''LastRes0rt'' has Daisy Archanis and Jason Spades; Jason probably cares more about Daisy than vice versa, though in Daisy's defense, she's got a lot more to worry about (namely, [[BigBad Veled]]) most of the time.

* In ''{{Spinnerette}}'', Spinnerette's arch nemesis is... Spinnerette. No, this isn't a case of EnemyWithin, they just both happened to pick the same supranym. And then started fighting over it. They now distinguish each other as "Good Spinnerette" and "Evil Spinnerette."
* "TheAdventuresOfGynoStar" features two main arch-enemies: Uber-sexist Vlad Deferens, and The Stay-at-Home Mommy

Dark Pegasus is more dangerious and re-occuring (Dan has killed him twice), but with Regina it is far, far more personal.

* SuperHero Plot Twist from {{Acrobat}} has PlotHole (yes, that's how they're calling themselves). ItsPersonal, but no one, even Plot Twist, knows why.\\

Also, Coil had Mr. Kawagai [[spoiler: before he committed suicide]] and Magnum has guy who created his armor.

** Xykon is Arch Enemy to Roy Greenhilt by inheritance. The twist here is that Xykon rarely if ever [[UnknownRival remembers who Greenhilt even]] ''[[UnknownRival is]]'', let alone that he's supposed to be his nemesis. He is aware he has nemeses, but Xykon has [[MoralEventHorizon ruined so many lives]] (and [[FateWorseThanDeath afterlives]]) that [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he can't be bothered to remember any single one in particular]].
** Elan has [[EvilTwin Nale]] and Haley has Crystal (even if she has no idea what an arch-nemesis is) and Sabine.
