** ''Film/IronMan3'': Tony challenging a terrorist -- one known for pulling off daring, devastating public attacks -- to attack him at his home without a plan behind it beyond "Come at me, bro" was not Tony's finest hour. Tony isn't thinking clearly at this point, and the boasting was more about making himself feel in control, and he'd just put the finishing touches on his Mk 42 suit, which combined with the first point meant he actually thought he stood a pretty good chance. It actually goes fairly well in Tony's favor. He's able to take down two of the helicopters, only screwing up the last one due to being caught by wreckage.
*** On the other hand, the last Manadarin´s attack that got [[TrueCompanions Tony´s best friend Happy]] to the hospital and kidnapping Pepper could be considered this. Mandarin is provoking the man who [[Film/{{The Avengers|2012}} ended the alien invasion]], after all.
** In ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', the Illuminati tried to fight [[spoiler:Wanda]], thinking they "can handle the [[spoiler:little witch]]". [[spoiler:Wanda]] easily massacred them. Even worse is the fact that [[spoiler:Wanda]] was mind-controlling a weaker version of [[spoiler:herself]], meaning that the CurbStompBattle will be much worse had [[spoiler:Wanda]] confront them in person.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'': In one of the flashbacks to Rocket's past, The High Evolutionary [[spoiler:kills Rocket's friend Lylla]], causing a devastated Rocket to cry and scream. The High Evolutionary [[CopycatMockery imitates Rocket's crying]] and [[KickTheDog tells him that he won the "crying contest"]], enraging Rocket and causing him to [[spoiler:severely maul The High Evolutionary, including [[FacialHorror clawing off most of his face]]]].
* Happens briefly in ''Film/SpiderMan1'' when Peter is a called a freak by a jock after he beats Flash Thompson up.

** The humans and how they treat mutants in general falls under this. Even with public knowledge that several mutants not only have supernatural powers but absolutely ''no love'' for ''Homo sapiens'' doesn't stop members of either the general population, law enforcement or even military/political standing from doing things to antagonize them.
