* 'WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006: Timber Wolf reverted to his bestial state when he discovered that it was him that killed his father, Chameleon Boy and Phantom Girl were with him at the time. Phantom Girl discovers that the changes are linked to his emotional state and nearly succeeds in calming him. Before he could revert to normal, however, the noise alerted the Science Police to their location and rushed to bring Timber Wolf down. This caused him to have another (albeit smaller) freak out and knock them aside to flee the planet thinking he's too dangerous to be around anyone.

** A variation in "Over a Barrel": the buffalo and the Apple-loosan settlers are caught up in a land dispute, with the buffalo chief Thunder Hooves promising to trample the entire town at high noon. Just as the clock strikes twelve, Little Strongheart convinces the chief not to go through with it, and the ponies heave a sigh of relief... only for Chief Thunder Hooves to be riled up again by Pinkie Pie reprising a song from earlier in the episode that he disliked. A song that, ironically enough, was trying to convince him ''not'' to attack the town in spite of the fact that it wasn't even necessary anymore.

* ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperheroes'': Timber Wolf reverted to his bestial state when he discovered that it was him that killed his father, Chameleon Boy and Phantom Girl were with him at the time. Phantom Girl discovered that the changes are linked to his emotional state and nearly succeeds in calming him. Before he could revert back to normal however, the noise alerted the Science Police to their location and rush to bring Timber Wolf down.

* Jean and Connie attempt a verbal one on [[spoiler: Reiner and Bertolt]] in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', though how successful it ultimately might have been remains unknown because Erwin interrupts with a suicidal ZergRush.

* ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'':
** The Avengers are fighting a villain. Just as she is giving up, [[{{Jerkass}} Yellowjacket]] blasts her, renewing the fight. This leads to Yellowjacket's court-martial, which indirectly leads to Hank Pym (Yellowjacket's secret identity) hitting his wife, Janet van Dyne-Pym, a.k.a. the Wasp. This has become a defining moment for both heroes. Interestingly, this does actually happen somewhat by accident -- Pym genuinely hasn't been paying attention for a few crucial moments because his weapon is malfunctioning and he is busy trying to fix it. Funny thing is that Cap kicks him off for "recklessness". Seems like a real DoubleStandard for a team with Iron Man on it.

* Happens in the penultimate chapter of the ComicBook/XMen's (in)famous ''[[ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga Dark Phoenix Saga]]''. ComicBook/JeanGrey has gone completely [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Dark Phoenix]], [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroyed a solar system]], and [[FaceHeelTurn trashed her entire team.]] Twice. Cue ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, the last X-Man standing, and a truly touching IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight speech, fueled by ThePowerOfLove. She almost seems to be willing to come around... when she gets brain-blasted from behind by Professor X. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice job breaking it, Mentor.]] To be fair, ''it actually worked''. The Professor had a psionic battle with the Dark Phoenix [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind in the center of Jean's mind]] and won, [[ThePowerofFriendship with Jean's help]], bringing her back to normal. Then the Shi'ar Majestrix appear, mighty pissed off that Jean destroyed a solar system, and decide she has to die. The Professor at least calls for a trial by battle between the X-Men and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The X-Men are getting owned and Cyclops and Jean are the only ones left, until the Imperial Guard attacks them at once and one manages to hit Cyclops. That's when Jean has a ''massive'' FreakOut and ''completely'' flips the script, bringing back the Dark Phoenix. At this point, Jean could've wiped out Imperial Guard with literally nothing more than a passing thought, but she realizes that if she unleashed that power she wouldn't stop with them. (Official WhatIf stories have shown that she would've [[ApocalypseHow destroyed the entire universe]].) So before she completely reverts to Dark Phoenix... [[HeroicSacrifice she kills herself]].

* An amusing part of ''Film/IndependenceDay'' was where a news report was specifically warning citizens not to do this. Not that it helped...

* In ''LightNovel/DateALive'', Shido can seal a Spirit's powers by making her fall in love with him and then kissing her, turning her into a normal girl. His dates always get interrupted by the AST, who believe the only way to deal with Spirits is to kill them. This always results in the Spirit going berserk and kicking the AST's collective asses, while Shido has to run in and calm her down.

* In volume 15 of ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' Accelerator's prevented from landing the killing blow on the story's BigBad by one of the few people he respects. It's right when Accelerator hesitates that said BigBad attacks the other person. [[TooDumbToLive This was]] a very [[FateWorseThanDeath bad move]] on his part.
