* ''WebAnimation/RevengeFilms'':
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc223BWy2sQ I was walking in the park in pitch black when a man hit me and attacked me]]": A teacher was assaulted by a random man. She yells a phrase she's comfortable with as she heard during a crime-preventing class. When two men show up to help her, she then screams for help and was able to deflect him when he tried to cover her mouth in an attempt to silence her. He was arrested afterward.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomfHJZIN2M The Police and I arrive at my ex-wife's house to see…]]": Claire was being assaulted by her stepfather after her parents divorced and her mother Penny took custody of her. Thankfully, Jake shows up to punch the bastard off of her. Turns out the stepfather did this out of spite and said he "paid 4 million yen to have her body," implying he married Penny just to have his way with Claire. This understandably pissed Jake off into beating him bloody.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4PBw70oZf8&feature=youtu.be My dad was screwing my wife. My mom was congratulating them...]]": [[spoiler:After throwing out a daughter-in-law for being infertile, the father tries to rape his other daughter-in-law (his favorite son's wife) only to be stopped by both brothers. The bastard ends up in prison and his reputation took a nosedive after news of his arrest was spread.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAoPSFB_FiE Someone comes to our door, and then my mom tells me to lock myself up in my bedroom]]": When Hiroshi’s sexual desires for his cousin, Takako, becomes too much for his mother to handle, she breaks into Takako‘s house, assaulting her mother and sends her son in to rape Takako, even encouraging him to make a baby with her. Thankfully, Takako’s mother gets back up from her attack and saves her daughter.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFytkaTPDIY The day after I lost my ring from my bf, I saw my coworker wearing it…]]": Carl attempted to rape Emily after she (understandably) rejected him for his cheating and nearly succeeded in taking her clothes off only for her coworker Charlotte to call the cops on him and get him arrested. Later on, Abby and her new boyfriend broke into Emily's house to get her raped in revenge for the former two's misfortunes but got arrested as well before they could do anything.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnMoh5GZMf8 My father broke into my brother's house… Then…]]": The OP rushed to her brother's house and caught her father in the middle of raping her sister-in-law for not being able to get pregnant and wanted to impregnate her himself. This drove the SIL's husband to beat the bastard twice for it and move with her to America.

* In chapter 20 of AudioPlay/WereAlive, after taking Lizzy captive, Tardust tries to rape her, only to be stopped by a very angry Scratch who is pissed because he's late in meeting up with the rest of the Mallers. It's only after Lizzy starts [[MorningSickness throwing up]] that Scratch tells Tardust that she's "off limits."

* ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'':
** Castle comes across a woman about to be raped by a group of thugs in an alley. He doesn't like that.
** In the ''[[ComicBook/ThePunisherBorn Born]]'' miniseries, this is combined with MercyKill when Frank shoots a female Viet Cong sniper in the head when a soldier tries to rape her.

* In ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'', it is strongly implied that Squee would have been molested by a man who led him into an alley, before Johnny showed up and [[AxCrazy smashes the pedophiles face in with a pipe, cuts his hand off and rips his brain out]]. Johnny [[EvenEvilHasStandards does not like child molesters, nor rapists in general]].

* In the ''A Doll's House'' storyline of ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', Rose Walker is on the verge of being raped (and probably murdered) by a SerialKiller when she calls on Dream to save her. Dream's retribution, while not physically violent, results in sending the would-be rapist into a dream state with no indications that he will ever wake again (in fact, following the allusion in the dream itself, it's heavily implied that he may [[YouAreAlreadyDead already be dead]]).
* In ''ComicBook/RogueTrooper'', when Friday is on the way to Highsight, he comes across a combat mechanic from the opposing side who is about to be gangraped by three grunts. Gaia manages to fend one off, but then Friday shoots the other two.
* In ''Return To Wonderland'', Calie is fed drugged tea by the Mad Hatter. Just as the sick bastard is about to rape her, she revives and smashes his head with a vase, then breaks off a table leg and proceeds to kick the everloving crap out of him.
%%* PlayedForLaughs in a strip by Creator/{{Quino}}, slightly {{NSFW}}.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* [[spoiler:Miss Martian]] from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' was almost made into having sex with a random guy when her SuperpoweredEvilSide took over. Thankfully, she gained control quickly, almost killing the guy.
* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', the super-heroine Portia experiences this in the middle of a fight when she loses her powers. [[spoiler:Rescued by the Ghoul, she spends the rest of the book coping with the indignity of needing to be saved.]]
* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', this happens to Karolina thanks to some DeliberateValuesDissonance while the team is temporarily sent to New York in the 1900s. She goes out for a walk during the night, and a man figures she's a prostitute (by his logic, that's the only reason a woman would be out alone at that time of night). When Karolina makes it clear she's not interested in sex, he gets angry and drags her into an alley. One panel later, he's sent flying across the street.
-->'''Karolina:''' Man. History just lost one buff.
* One of the first crimes Batman deals with once he comes back in both ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns the animated version]] is this, saving a woman from a man who'd just grabbed her.
* ''ComicBook/TheGreatPowerOfChninkel'': A trio of kolds try to rape G'wel when she is a slave for speaking up before they're stopped by J'On.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Alena}}'', a guy tries to rape Alena in the locker room before being stopped by Josefin. In the film, it's another girl who tries it as a result of the setting being an all-girls institution.
* Issue 2 of ''ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop'' sees a guy threatening to rape a teenaged hooker after she rejects him. He doesn't do much more than take out a knife and threaten her when Murphy does a drive-by kneecapping of the punk.
* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'': After a few rapes in a park, Vampirella goes out on patrol. One almost felt sorry for the rapist... almost. The case where Mad God Chaos wants to mate with her to get some eldritch offspring may or may not count (he probably wasn't sexually interested in her) but for poor Vampi it hardly made a difference. (Luckily some female cultist who wanted that honor for herself freed her, with expectable results.)
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3'': Pyro suggests to Mastermind that they rape Valkyrie while she's unconscious. Before they can get further than Mastermind [[LecherousLicking licking her face]], she regains consciousness, [[OffWithHisHead beheads Mastermind]] and [[AnArmAndALeg cuts off Pyro's hands]].
* ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'': When Holly is captured by The Saviors, she is nearly raped by David while she's restrained. However, Negan walks in on them in this attempt and is [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted]], reminding David that they ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil never]]'' rape. He kills David in front of Holly right there as punishment for breaking this rule.
* In the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Fury's origin story (in ''ComicBook/SecretOrigins'' volume 2 #12, 1987), the Nazi soldiers that Helena Kosmatos encounters as Fury grab her and attempt to rape her when her superhuman strength kicks in and her being possessed by the spirit of Tisiphone the Blood Avenger puts an end to her assailants.

* ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'': When Elizabeth is almost raped by her co-worker, Howard Bunt. And Anthony saves her. And it rekindles their relationship barely minutes after the assault while Anthony is still married to someone else. And instead of taking her to report the crime, he drives her to a park to whine about his miserable marriage and beg her to wait for him. Not to mention the implication that Lynn Johnston was playing this trope as RapePortrayedAsRedemption.

* In the Music/InsaneClownPosse song "Under the Moon," the narrator is sent to prison after killing a guy with his father's .45 for trying to rape the unnamed love interest of the song.

* In ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'', Calchas' ColdBloodedTorture of Shakila was seconds away from ending in rape when Dr. Shelton intervened.

* In ''Theatre/TheLionKing'', the portion of the song "The Madness of King Scar", where Scar tries to seduce Nala, the scene is at first played humorously and then [[MoodWhiplash abruptly switches]] to this with Nala screaming, "Get away from me!" and finally scratching him across the face with her claws to get him to stop.
* In ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', Anita is roughed up and nearly gang-raped by the Jets when she tries to deliver a message from Maria to Tony. This drives her to lie to them that Chino killed Maria, setting up the final tragedy of the play.
* In ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'', Scarpia tries to rape the heroine after forcing her to accept the original ScarpiaUltimatum. She explains to him why that was not a good idea, which involves taking a very long, very sharp knife and stabbing him to death. "Il bascia di Tosca!" (That's how Tosca kisses!)

* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'', Altair can save women in the streets who are being harassed by gangs of armed thugs who are threatening and groping them. Though it's never exactly stated what they intended to do, the rescued citizens indicate just what they believe the thugs were planning. If you bother listening to the guards chatter, they are accusing the women of stealing from someone in front of them. Whether that's an excuse or not is not known.
** In [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII the sequel,]] when Vieri de Pazzi ambushes Ezio and his family outside Monterigionni, he says that "I have ''such things'' planned for your mother and sister!" He doesn't outright say it, but its very clear what he's going to do. Fortunately, Ezio quickly introduces Vieri's goons to his hidden blade, and then [[BigDamnHeroes Uncle Mario crashes the party.]]

* In ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon FEAR 2: Project Origin]]'', the plot indicates that [[spoiler: Alma is trying to "consume" Becket whenever she attacks him hand-to-hand, because of the psychic signal he emits.]] In reality, though, [[spoiler: Alma was trying to ''rape'' him, as shown in the final cutscene after she apparently succeeds, and is pregnant with Becket's child.]]
* Happens to [[RaisingSim your adoptive daughter]] in ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker2'', if she loses her duels with the bandits (be the two males [[PsychoLesbian or the single female]]) in the Adventure routes. Cube arrives in time to drive them away and take the injured girl back home, though.

* ''[[Franchise/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon DanMachi]] VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'': Hitachi Chigusa finds herself on the receiving end of one from a group of goblins soon after she and her friend Kashima Ouka wind up in ''Literature/GoblinSlayer''‘s world during the crossover campaign ''Dungeon and Goblins''. Fortunately Ouka was able to cut them down before they could do much damage to her clothes. Ouka also saves Amid Teasanare, Noble Fencer, and Sword Maiden from this at the hands of another group as well.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' gives you two different ways to stop this at the hands of Bann Vaughan Kendalls and his men in the City Elf origin: Breaking into the castle as a male in order to save the kidnapped women or grabbing a weapon from a guard and start gutting them as a female. [[spoiler: Not so "attempted" for your best friend Shianni]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'''s "Dissent" quest, you're out to stop Ser Alrik from using [[MindRape the Rite of Tranquility]] on a young runaway female mage with which he intends to use as a potential SexSlave. In the quest "Who Needs Rescuing", a young girl was protected from a group of would-be gang rapists by Feynriel, who uses his Fade powers to [[MindRape kill her assailants while they were still awake]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Tomb Raider|2013}}'': Early in the game Lara is captured by a gang of mooks. After being recaptured by their leader following an escape attempt, he starts to paw her with this in mind. Lara fights back and blows his head off during the struggle for her first human kill. However if the player fails the QuickTimeEvent there's no ''actual'' rape and the scene ends with the mook strangling her or (after they begin fighting over the gun) shooting her through the head instead.

* ''VideoGame/{{Gingiva}}'' has a number of monsters who will ask for your hand in marriage. If you refuse, they will shout things like "Strip now!" before initiating combat with you.
* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'': [[BlackComedyRape Played for laughs]], when [[CasanovaWannabe Vigoro]] corners [[PirateGirl Aika]] in her cell, while she and her friends are being held at [[TheAlcatraz the Grand Fortress.]] By the tim Vyse and Gilder make their timely arrival, he's snuggling up against Aika's leg while she's clinging to the bars of her cell window.
* ''VideoGame/PeretEmHeruForThePrisoners'': Upon learning the DarkSecret of one of the women accompanying his tour group, [[spoiler:Soji Mizumi]] ''immediately'' starts trying to {{Blackmail}} her into having sex with him, while bragging about how this isn't the ''first'' time he's taken advantage of someone. The creep's so single-minded that [[spoiler:when a figure appears to judge him, he attempts to force himself onto ''her'' as well, leading to some heavy LaserGuidedKarma]].
* In ''VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}}'', a flashback reveals that [[spoiler:Sal tried to rape Wadanohara herself after tricking her to coming into a wave alone with him in a ''very'' uncomfortable and drawn out scene]]. Thankfully, this is prevented by [[spoiler:Samekichi]].

* In Ginnosuke Oguri's route of ''VisualNovel/InYourArmsTonight'', [[spoiler:Ai Yashima]] drugs the protagonist and sets her up to be raped, but Ginnosuke arrives before it goes very far.

* Kanna's route in ''VisualNovel/YuNo'' has her nearly raped by the detestable Houjou. However, the protagonist notes that as scummy as Houjou is, it's simply not in his character to do something ''that'' bad. It raises questions as to what exactly is going on and why he was trying in the first place.

* Close call in ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' when [[spoiler:a mugger attacks Lucy. It doesn't go too well for him.]]

* The ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' prequel comic ''"A Day in the (After)Life"'' has Alastor brutally murder (and then devour) a butcher for attempting to rape a female customer.
-->'''[[EvenEvilHasStandards Alastor]]:''' You know, I do really hate those who can't show a little more respect to those of fairer means. It's rather distasteful, ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion LIKE]]'' ''[[NightmareFace BAD]]'' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner MEAT.]]''

* In ''Webcomic/OutOfPlacers'', Brakka intends to rape Kass after kidnapping her. Fortunately, Elim comes to the rescue before he can begin doing anything.

* ''Literature/ReceiverOfMany'' has a rare female-on-male example. [[spoiler: Minthe tries to force herself on Hades and make this seem like he was willing, in order to paint him as unfaithful in Persephone's eyes. She poisons his nectar with ergot, which makes him unable to fight back and uses the golden arrow she stole to force his body to react with arousal against his will. Fortunately for Hades, Persephone gets there in time to save him.]]
* ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has Stollar nearly getting raped in the bathroom by [[DirtyCop Gobor Grizzer]] in chapter 10. The only reason why he stops is because someone interrupted him and he nearly got caught pulling Stollar's pants down.

* This happens quite occasionally on ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', and, unlike most BlackComedy in general, '''[[PlayedForDrama none of it is ever played for laughs.]]''' '''''Ever.''''' The most terrifying example, however, happens in the episode, "Meeseeks and Destroy", when [[spoiler: a child molester attacks Morty in a public bathroom, [[BreakTheCutie leaving the poor kid completely traumatized as soon as he (violently) escapes.]]]] And Rick gets homicidally angry as soon as he puts 2 and 2 together.

* This has happened not once, but ''twice'' on ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}''. And they say [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids it's a kids' show]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfCalamityJane'', it's discovered in a flashback that this was what led to Jane's first kill; she shot a man trying to rape her as a teen.
* In the first season of ''WesternAnimation/ToddMcFarlanesSpawn'' the eponymous hero tries [[spoiler:and succeeds JustInTime]] to stop a serial pedophile from making a little girl his latest victim.
* Nearly every ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon features Bluto/Brutus attempting to rape Olive Oyl towards the end, with the eponymous hero downing a can o' spinach to always save the day in the nick of time. Bluto/Brutus has to be the most prominent serial attempted rapist in popular fiction, making all the times Popeye socks the fat bastard to the moon look like he got off easy.

* ''[[Franchise/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon DanMachi]] VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'': Hitachi Chigusa finds herself on the receiving end of one from a group of goblins soon after she and her friend Kashima Ouka wind up in ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer''‘s world during the crossover campaign ''Dungeon and Goblins''. Fortunately Ouka was able to cut them down before they could do much damage to her clothes. Ouka also saves Amid Teasanare, Noble Fencer, and Sword Maiden from this at the hands of another group as well.

** And then he tries it ''again'' in "Heaven's Feel" with [[spoiler:Sakura, who he has brutalized before]]. What happens? [[spoiler:[[KickTheSonOfABitch Sakura blows his head off with magic]].]]
** And before all this, [[{{Jerkass}} Gilga]][[PureIsNotGood mesh]] to [[LadyOfWar Saber]].

''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hume553aFxE In this chapter,]] Yuri was [[spoiler:about to be sexually assaulted by the loan shark Akamatsu to pay her mother's debts. However, Karin steps in and kicks him before he could actually harm Yuri.]]

* WesternAnimation/BettyBoop was a victim of this quite often and one of the most known examples is in the cartoon short ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Boop-Oop-a-Doop}} Boop-Oop-A-Doop]]''. In this cartoon, Betty is a circus performer who is lusted after by the Ringmaster. At night, the Ringmaster accosts her in her tent and threatens to rape her until Koko the Clown comes in to rescue her. A daring plot for a cartoon made in 1932, a supposedly "purer" time. Only "the Old Man of the mountain" may be more explicit than this.

->'''Captain Fancey''': You're a comely wench. There's nothing to stop me forcing my attentions on you.
->'''Harriet''': Oh, promises, promises!
->'''Captain Fancey''': Whoa! Oh, get off! She's incorrigible!

* In ''ComicBook/TheMetabarons'', the Endoguard were fed up with the Metabarons being better than them. When they found out that the Metabaron of the time, Aghora, is a woman - they try to rape her. Besides being the [[WorldsBestWarrior greatest warrior in the universe]], she also has a very loyal mutant spider-wolf. Her pet ended up eating a couple of Endoguards before the rest retreated.
* In ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Red Robin]]'' the celibate Tim Drake is nearly raped by ComicBook/RasAlGhul's sister after he caught the siblings' attention while searching for Bruce. Luckily Tim had kept ''his'' sister [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cass]] involved with his plans and she saved him just in time.
* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'':
** Ariana almost gets raped by a classmate after she agreed to go to a movie with him and a couple of other classmates and ended up in the car alone with him. Luckily she was able to whack him in the face with a soda and flee the car but the experience understandably traumatized her.

** Johnny doesn't like rapists in general. When [[LoonyFan crazy copycat fanboy Jimmy]] arrives, Johnny listens to his list of crimes with disinterest, but reactions violently when Jimmy admits to raping a girl; Johnny himself had been accused of said rape in a previous issue. It's not clear if this is a matter of RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil or Johnny just being disgusted by [[HatesBeingTouched physical contact]]. And of course, rapists aren't the only kind of people whom he feels "[[DisproportionateRetribution deserve]]" being murdered.
* ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'' #25: This is the reason why Soontir Fel went to the Imperial Naval Academy and became an AcePilot. Back when he was a FarmBoy, he very violently stopped a management's kid from raping someone, and was subsequently blackmailed into going to the academy so that he would not be there to testify at the trial. Much later, the management's kid kidnapped Fel's nephew and was shot by Fel's brother.
* ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} of ''ComicBook/XMen'' once faced an attempted rape by an alternate universe version of [[BrotherSisterIncest her brother]], [[ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} Captain Britain]]. Fortunately for her, she discovered her previously minimal psychic powers were considerably more formidable than she believed at that point. Unfortunately for her brother, who was trapped in the alternate universe his counterpart came from, he too faced this at the hands of villainess Sat-Yr-9, just without any ability to fight them off, adding to his growing list of [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale never-mentioned-after rape experiences.]]
* Occurs near the end of Creator/JossWhedon's run on ''[[ComicBook/XMen Astonishing X-Men]]'' to Agent Brand. [[spoiler: Some of the Breakworld soldiers are threatening to gang-rape her, whereupon she kills them with her heretofore only barely hinted-at alien superpowers.]]

When Karolina makes it clear she's not interested in sex, he gets angry and drags her into an alley. One panel later, he's sent flying across the street.

* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'': After a few rapes in a park, Vampirella goes out on patrol. One almost felt sorry for the rapist...almost.

(Luckily some female cultist who wanted that honor for herself freed her, with expectable results.)
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3'': Pyro suggested to Mastermind that they rape Valkyrie, while she was unconscious. She comes to before they could get further than Mastermind licking her face and [[OffWithHisHead she beheads Mastermind]] and [[AnArmAndALeg cuts off Pyro's hands]].

* In the Golden Age Fury's origin story (in ''ComicBook/SecretOrigins'' v2 #12, 1987), the Nazi soldiers that Helena Kosmatos encounters as Fury grab her and attempt to rape her when her superhuman strength kicks in and her being possessed by the spirit of Tisiphone the Blood Avenger puts an end to her assailants.
