* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'': Dhalua Omotu-Strong, [[JunglePrincess princess of the Ozu]], [[HappilyMarried wife of Tom Strong]], [[MamaBear mother of Tesla Strong]], has at her mercy genetically engineered Nazi baroness Ingrid Weiss. Weiss is obsessed with Dhalua's husband, colluding with [[spoiler:who she thinks is]] Tom's arch foe Paul Saveen, deluded into thinking they have a relationship, and [[spoiler:essentially raped him decades ago and stole his sperm to inseminate herself and have a child she raised to be as much of a Nazi as she is]]. Armed with a pair of atomic gauntlets, Dhalua makes Ingrid understand just how very, very, ''very'' angry she is without ever raising her voice. To the point Tom and Tesla are too scared to intervene as she quite literally has Weiss's life in her hands. [[spoiler:She only relents after she's thoroughly broken Weiss's will, as the Nazi's bluster finally breaks and she begs Dhalua not to kill her in front of her own son.]]

* This is how ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'''s Rorschach operates. Unlike the other characters, who express fury through violent outbursts (The Comedian particularly), Rorschach is almost always calm and quiet in his violence. Even when pushed to his very limit in 1975, he didn't yell or lash out, he retained his quiet demeanor. Rorschach is emotionally withdrawn and during his adulthood he only makes a facial expression twice in the book (Panel 8 of Page 7 of Chapter 6, when he remembers a childhood incident, and when he [[spoiler:orders Manhattan to kill him]]. For the rest of the story his face is either covered by his mask or a blank stare.
** This is changed in the movie, however. His blank stare is replaced by a ClintSquint, and he is prone to fits of eye-twitchery. In 1975, when pushed to his limitations, instead of breaking down into the calm psycho he breaks up into an aggressive animal.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Giganta may have started out as UnstoppableRage incarnate but she learns to be more cold and methodical without ever becoming any less angry. Even then she has her moments where she slips into a less tranquil attitude, but that's generally when her foe is already unconscious.

He never raises his voice other than to make grand speeches, calmly makes certain that his enemies perish and almost never loses his cool despite how angry he gets. But if you look at his son Orion [[UnstoppableRage when he loses his Mother Box]], then you'll have an idea how Darkseid is under the surface.
* ''ComicBook/{{Huntress}}'': Helena Bertinelli is usually a hot-tempered, passionate person, but it's when she gets very calm that you should really be afraid. Whenever she gets ready to murder someone in cold blood, she's invariably totally calm. When she killed Stephen Mandragora in ''Year One'', she was almost totally dispassionate about it. In ''Cry for Blood'', when she gives Santo Cassamento the kiss of death, you can tell by her facial expression that she hates him, but she is totally in control. One of the clearest cases, though, was when she was about to drop Yasemin off a roof.
