== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Legend of the Blue Wolves]]'': Poor {{spoiler|Leonard}}. By Jonathan's hand, no less.

** A [[Complete Monster|less sympathetic version]] is implied to be {{spoiler|Captain Continental who was supposedly killed by Leonard after he cut his penis off as revenge for him raping Jonathan.}}

* A transgender variant pops up in one chapter of ''He Said "I'm A Girl"''. Yuki makes a comment on how one of her friends was [[Gay Panic|killed by her boyfriend]] after learning she was trans.

 

* Moondragon's death in Marvel's recent ''Annihilation: Conquest'' series. Considering how many characters died in the series, what makes Moondragon's treatment notable was the sheer brutality of it. In ''Annihilation,'' Thanos kidnaps her, uses her as a hostage, rips her ear off, and presents the ear to her lover Phyla. She survives ''that'' series, but in ''Conquest'' she finds herself permanently turned into a dragon before ultimately dying in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to protect Phyla.

** [[Death Is Cheap|She eventually got better]], but then they went and killed Phyla off at the same time. And not only that but in the stupidest way possible. She dies not only off panel but her death gets one line from Gamora and no one other than Moondragon seems to care.

* [[The DCU]]'s Monsieur Mallah and the Brain, a... talking gorilla with a gun and a French accent and an immobile [[Brain In a Jar|brain in a little chamber thing]] that allows him to talk. Mallah got into a fight with Gorilla Grodd after the latter was offended at the suggestion that they're at all similar. Despite being armed, Mallah lost, and was beaten to death with ''The Brain'', who likewise expired. And that was the ''second'' time they died: the first was being blown to smithereens the instant they confessed their love for each other.

* Accusations of this were thrown about when Northstar, Marvel's first hero to come out of the closet, got killed by a brainwashed Wolverine. It didn't help that he died from an attack that he could've easily dodged. It ''also'' didn't help that, a few months later, he died in two separate [[Alternate Universe]] books that ''were released in the same week''. Northstar was resurrected the next issue, though, although he ended up [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] and only recently returned to normal.

** There's also the fact that Northstar was ''originally'' going to die from... from AIDS. You see, he was gay, so of course he would have AIDS. [[Executive Meddling]] finally did something right by putting that one down before it saw print... Except instead of AIDS, Northstar just had some vague life-threatening ailment.

** For a few issues, it looked like this happened to Northstar ''again'' in ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'', after an overdose of a mutant drug apparently made his heart give out... but a few issues later, he turned up fully alive, just paralyzed from the waist down. In other words, he's alive, he just can't have sex. Oops.

* In Marvel's ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]: [[Young Avengers]]/[[Runaways]]'', out of the fourteen heroes we have, the transgender Xavin gets her neck broken and the gay Hulkling gets dissected, while the gay Wiccan and the lesbian Karolina get kidnapped. The straight characters? Perfectly fine. Fortunately, Xavin and Hulkling are shape shifters but still...
