* Creator/GrantMorrison's version of ComicBook/{{Superman}} in [[ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52 their run]] of ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', complete with falling afoul of HeWhoFightsMonsters. Among other things in the early issues, he dangles people out of buildings, throws them from those buildings into rivers, and chokeslams ComicBook/{{Batman}}, who was only attacking Superman at the time and demonstrably wasn't a threat to him.
-->'''Grant Morrison:''' If anyone in the world's been bullied, then Superman exists to take out the bully, no matter how big or smart or armed that bully might be.
* In ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', Gwen's EstablishingCharacterMoment involves pulling ''[[AxesAtSchool a knife]]'' on one of Peter's bullies.
* The titular girls of ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' have a tendency to keep at bay their school's bullies. Particularly notable are Cornelia, who can occasionally scare them away with a couple words, and Will, who once managed to scare them away with words too (and turned violent when it appeared they had returned. [[MeetCute It was Matt]]) and talked the other three into doing it themselves.
** It appears that one of the requisites for Guardianship is to be a bully hunter: Orube, who has the potential and actually served as Taranee's temporary replacement during her TenMinuteRetirement, turned into a rather effective one when she arrived on Earth and started going to college as part of her cover. The fact she's [[SuperStrength really strong]], [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl like all Basiliadians, has warrior and hand-to-hand training]] (and received even more on Kandrakar), and was dealing with normal humans helped putting the bullies in place.

A character who seems particularly adept and eager to take down [[TheBully bully-type characters]] with extreme prejudice, or at least show he has this streak in him. The Bully Hunter may do it by accident or [[IWasJustPassingThrough while passing through the area]], or he may actively seek out those who make others' lives miserable as a pastime and inject some hell into their lives in retaliation.

* ''ComicBook/SspiderMan2099'': One of Miguel's old school teachers, Angela Daskalakis, shows absolutely no mercy towards bullies. She goes as far as to break the arm of one of her students - granted, that student was threatening to kill someone - to stop him even though his father is a CorruptCorporateExecutive and a major source of funds for the school. Years later Daskalakis is one of the very few people Miguel has any respect for.

* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': Hijack hates bullies so much he goes wildly off-mission and virtually demolishes the gymnasium to punish Johnny Jhonny for picking on Jeff, breaking Max's arm in the process. [[spoiler:Part of it seems to be general immaturity; Hijack is only three years old, so naturally his moral sense is a little dysfunctional when brought into contact with a more complex reality than he's equipped to handle.]]

Although this is at odds with her teacher's concurrent lecture on the importance of kindness.
