* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica:'' Steve may be one of the nicest guys in the MCU, but get him angry, and it's scary, because there's no pyrotechnics, no shouting, no swearing. Just a very ''calm'' anger. Case in point, at the climax of "The Captain" Steve breaks into the office of the ObstructiveBureaucrat who's been after him the whole storyline, and just glares at him.
* One story in ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' #900 has the Merc With The Mouth going to a psychiatrist. During the session Deadpool brings up his occasional "pro bono" work when something really catches his attention, and mentions a story about a therapist who took sexual advantage of a young girl who was his patient, eventually driving her to suicide. [[spoiler:Eventually it's revealed that he's speaking to that very same therapist. Deadpool then beheads the man and quietly walks away. The kicker? Deadpool's usual wisecracking internal dialogue was notably absent from the story until after the therapist was killed, showing that Deadpool was 100% not fucking around.]]

* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'':
** ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'' has the Hulk so angry that he becomes calm.
*** "People of New York. [[WhamLine I have come to smash]]." He then proceeded to tear through everyone available, growing so angry at some point [[PersonOfMassDestruction his very steps were causing tectonic shifts]] before he was stopped. Angriest Hulk we've seen, and calmest Hulk we've seen at the same time.
** Lyra, who is the daughter of the Hulk from a future timeline, becomes weaker as she becomes angrier, in contrast to her father. She is at her strongest when she is calm and collected.
** One Hulk persona, "The Professor", worked on the same principle that Lyra did as a failsafe, growing weaker to the point where he'd become "The Savage Banner", a Bruce Banner with the Savage Hulk's rage and (lack of) self-control, but none of Hulk's strength or Banner's intelligence.
** ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'': The titular new alter is much less shouty than previous incarnations. But he's always angry, because he only shows up when someone's hurt Bruce. And he takes that personally.



* ComicBook/ThePunisher varies between this and UnstoppableRage, depending on the situation and writer, although sometimes one hides the other. [[spoiler:The point of the infamous Nicky Cavella incident from [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX MAX series]] was to cause him to mess up, and it worked -- he snapped ''even more than usual'' from his usual UnstoppableRage to a Tranquil Fury.]] He just goes from BadGuyBar to BadGuyBar slaughtering unconnected criminals until the city officials rebury his family. [[spoiler:Then he goes after Nicky.]]

Thor then [[spoiler:gives Tony an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech; never raising his voice, but letting his powers speak for him by generating a massive storm]].
** Thor in general reserves this for when he ''really'' has to go to town on someone. For a HotBlooded BoisterousBruiser, charging into action with a BattleCry is business as usual. When the shit is about to go down?

** The opposite is the case for his daughter/OppositeSexClone, ComicBook/{{X 23}}. Normally she's chillingly cold, calm and efficient while gutting you.

* ''ComicBook/TheInhumans'': What do you get when you take all the pressure of ruling a nation of paranoid, super powered xenophobes, mix it in with having to deal with a conniving, mind controlling younger brother, hostile aliens, hostile humans, the fact that you've killed your own parents and then place it in a body that could destroy everything in sight with just a whisper?

** Evident when he believes that his rogues gallery killed a newborn baby. He spends the next issue barely uttering a word and shows a Batman level of efficiency and ruthlessness.
** This habit of his is played for a joke in one of the annuals. Among the stories is one where Spider-Man finds the Headmen up to no good and hangs quietly from the ceiling. When he doesn't start making his usual quips, even after prompting, they believe they've somehow stumbled into this trope and quickly give up.
