* Overlapping with MeaningfulName, the ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' animated series ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'' reveals that the aptly named [[AxCrazy Jinx]] earned that moniker during her youth, as whenever she was brought along on missions with her fellow street urchins, she would end up screwing up everything. The plot of the series is instigated when she tinkers with some magical crystals in a lab her group is robbing, causing an explosion that tips off the Piltovan authorities, and things only get worse from there. By the end of the first season, her actions [[spoiler:turned what would have been a successful rescue operation into the deaths of her entire adoptive family sans her sister Vi, set the groundwork for another all-out war between Piltover and the Undercity/Zaun, and result in the death of her second adoptive father Silco]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' episode, "Hi-Jinxed" features a villain named [[MeaningfulName Jinx]] who's suffered from bad luck all his life. Throughout the episode, he constantly suffers misfortune: his pants fall down a couple times, he often trips, he hides from the heroes behind a huge rock only for the rock to immediately get destroyed by a lightning bolt, etc.
