A character seeks revenge against their enemy by harming someone the enemy cares about. Motives vary on this: the avenger may think it would hurt worse, they may think it's a more equivalent crime if someone close to them was hurt, or it may even be something else. Often, the justification is that they want the person to suffer as they have suffered as a result of the act. Sometimes it's justified by claiming that the victim profited from the original crime. Of maybe the intended victim of the revenge is protected in some way, or if direct punishment or pain would not be satisfying enough. Killing a Death Seeker would not accomplish the level of mental anguish required for true vengeance, for example, but killing one of their loved ones while they live on...well, seeing your loved ones taken away from you, knowing that you yourself caused it, can be a Fate Worse than Death Sometimes the villain feigns this to lure the hero within striking distance. If the villain is feeling particularly sadistic, they won't just torture and kill someone the hero cares about, they'll make the hero watch. If the method of revenge isn't murder (it's usually murder), Cold-Blooded Torture may also come into play, possibly with a Past Victim Showcase. Particularly horrific when the target is a child, but no matter how horrible the crime being avenged (or how non-innocent the victim is), Revenge By Proxy is often a Kick the Dog moment, since the actual victim is considered only as a means to an ignoble end. Villains may regard one of theirs as valuable as several of the hero's, and so regard killing several victims as mere even retribution. Frequently a Bewildering Punishment for the victim, though this trope is more likely than most to have a Motive Rant. Compare Misplaced Retribution and Sins of Our Fathers. See also Revenge Through Corruption when the method of revenge is trying to inflict a Face–Heel Turn on someone the character cares about. Threatening to do this is I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure or And Your Little Dog, Too!. Contrast Trial Run Crime. |

In a specific example, during the climax of The Rise of Skywalker, Palpatine takes extra care to spitefully throw Ben Solo into a pit as revenge for Darth Vader/Anakin doing the same to him years ago. Never mind that Ben never did a single thing to Palpatine personally other than try to help Rey, nor that Anakin is long dead; Palpatine wants payback, and he will damn well get it, even if he has to settle for Anakin's grandson. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): The Guide sums up the three phases of warfare (anticipation, retribution and diplomacy) as being along these lines, going from "I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother", to "I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother", and finally "I'm going to kill my brother and then try to kill you on the pretext that your brother did it". | |

RWBY: The White Fang doesn't tolerate defectors and will kill them when they track them down, but Blake's defection is deeply personal for Adam Taurus. He's not content to simply kill her. He's absolutely determined to destroy everything she's ever cared about. That includes the people she cares about. He cuts off Yang's arm as soon as he realizes Blake cares about Yang. When he finds out Blake is in Menagerie, he explodes with rage. His rant that Blake's family is the bane of his existence culminates in him issuing an order to kidnap Blake and murder her parents, a decision that makes the Albain brothers conclude that he may be too unwell to remain functioning as White Fang leader for long. Salem's current motivation. Protecting humanity is what matters the most to Ozma, and the Gods are testing humanity to see if they're still worthy of living. Being a Psycho Ex-Girlfriend who wants to Rage Against the Heavens, she wants to destroy humanity by having them fail the test because this is the best way to hurt Ozma and the Gods for hurting her. She's also a Death Seeker with Complete Immortality and thinks that making humanity fail the Gods test will be a Curse Escape Clause for herself rather than using the only stated method the Gods gave her to end her immortality (learning and accepting the balance between life and death) because that would mean accepting her own faults to begin with. |

Blaming Spider-Man for making him to resort to it, Harry decides to murder Gwen Stacy after figuring out that his Childhood Friend Peter is Spider-Man, solely to spite him. He succeeds in causing Gwen's death despite Peter's best efforts to prevent it, leaving Peter emotionally scarred. | |

Kill Bill Volume 1 touches upon this trope when the Bride confronts Vernita, one of the first targets of her Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Vernita tells her that she has every right to want to get even for what she and her partners did. The Bride tells her that in order to be truly even, she would have to kill not only her, but her husband and her daughter as well (since the assault on the wedding had claimed both of those numbers on the Bride's side though her own daughter turned out to be alive), but in a subversion of this trope, The Bride makes it clear that she's not interested in killing Vernita's innocent family. | |

In the final case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, Dahlia Hawthorn works along with her mother Morgan Fey's plan to murder Maya Fey even though she doesn't sympathize with Morgan's motive. She explicitly states that this trope is her reason for wanting to murder Maya: Mia Fey is the one who she really hates, but Mia already died (for reasons unrelated to Dahlia) so she wanted to kill her sister, Maya. | |

The Order of the Stick: Here. Months after the party kills a young evil black dragon, the dragon's mother hunts down and subdues one of the protagonists. But rather than killing Vaarsuvius, she expresses her intention to take it out on V's children, instead: And then it's used even more drastically on the mother dragon, when Vaarsuvius uses a single spell to instantly kill at least several dozens of creatures who are directly related to the dragon — though that one is less revenge and more overblown preemptive strike, as Vaarsuvius's justification is not wanting anyone like that dragon to threaten the family again. Unfortunately for V, wiping out a full quarter of the black dragon population of the world has royally pissed off Tiamat, the goddess of vengeance and evil chromatic dragons. It gets worse. It turns out that one member of that dragon's family bred with a human, giving birth to the Draketooth clan, the only people who know where Girard's Gate is, and how to get past the powerful illusions guarding it. Since the clan all possess the blood of that black dragon, the spell killed every single one of them, too. Moral of the story: revenge leads to bad things. |

In the James Bond film Licence to Kill, the main villain, Sanchez, who runs a massive Latin American drug cartel, gets revenge on Bond's friend Felix Leiter, for getting Sanchez arrested. He doesn't simply off Leiter, he sends his goons to attack Leiter and his new wife on their wedding day, rape/kill the wife and have Mr. Leiter's leg chomped off by a shark. While Felix was indeed directly attacked, the fact that they went after his wife as well counts as this trope. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Loki's plot to take control of Earth in The Avengers (2012) is largely driven by jealousy and resentment towards his adoptive brother Thor, as well as rage at being deceived about his true ancestry. He wants to subjugate the entire population of Earth — a planet that Thor treasures and protects — thereby wiping out many of the people that Thor cares about. In addition, Loki feels that he was cheated out of his rightful place as the ruler of Asgard. In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Drax wants to kill Gamora as she is an associate of Ronan. Fortunately, Peter is able to convince Drax that Gamora can help him get revenge against Ronan directly.

In Highlander: Endgame, this was the MO of Jacob Kell, the film's Big Bad. Kell, to avenge the death of his priest father figure at the hands of Connor MacLeod (and perhaps the fact that he became aware of his immortality and it destroyed his faith due to Connor), targets all those nearest to Connor. Later, after Duncan takes Connor's quickening and thus a piece of his soul because Our Souls Are Different, Kell intends to target Duncan this way too, announcing that Duncan has just inherited Connor's curse. | |

CM Punk's threat to murder Allison Danger with a towel while Colt Cabana restrained Christopher Daniels so he would be Forced to Watch was The Second City Saints's proposed revenge, since Punk had already beaten up the Outcast Killahs to show Rob Feinstein he was serious, threatened to kill a member of the ROH locker room if the party responsible for ambushing Lucy wasn't revealed, personally believing it to have been The Prophecy. It wasn't Daniels or any then revealed Prophecy member, though, but BJ Whitmer, who attacked Lucy to get revenge on Punk knocking him out. Whitmer would soon be revealed as another Prophecy member, so they weren't far off, all things considered. | |

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice's case 2, Roger Retinz is so furious with Troupe Gramarye for kicking him out that, with the rest of the troupe either dead or missing, he takes it out on the sole heir, Trucy, who was only a child at the time of his dismissal. | |

At the beginning of The Replacement Killers, Wei, a Triad mob boss, loses his son to a police shootout. He then sends a hitman to kill the police officer's eight-year-old son in revenge. Unfortunately for Wei, the hitman (played by Chow Yun-fat) has a heart and won't go through with it. Not only does Wei decide to take out a Contract on the Hitman, but he also goes further by trying to hunt down and murder John Lee's family to punish him for defying him. | |

Christopher Daniels, believing ROH had set his associates Frankie Kazarian and Kamaitachi up to fail at the 2016 Aftershock, said he was going to protest until their losses were overturned. "Protest" turned out to mean "join with them to beat the stuffing out of Moose". Alex Shelley, in a demonstration he liked Moose more than he let on, and Jay White who had been used by Kamaitachi to benefit The Addiction, ran the three off. | |

In John Wick, the protagonist is grieving for the death of his wife and harboring tremendous anger. He copes by taking care of a puppy she left as a posthumous gift, but a petty criminal named Iosef breaks into his house, steals his car, and kills the dog. We then learn John is really a world-renowned assassin, and that all hell is going to break loose until he exacts his revenge. Once he does, Iosef's father Viggo ambushes and executes John's friend Marcus for how the sniper protected John despite being hired to kill him. | |

After being unmasked as the villain he is by Batman, The Penguin in Batman Returns sets in motion a plan to kidnap and murder all the first-born sons of Gotham because he was abandoned as a child long ago by his own parents. It's unclear whether he planned this from the beginning (as evidenced by the lists of the names he took down while searching for his parents) or because he was pissed at the Gothamites for turning on him, but the plan is foiled by Batman before it can get too far. It seems he was planning it from the start, but then backed off the idea when Corrupt Corporate Executive Max Shreck convinces him to run for Mayor as part of his own plan, and when he turns out to be fairly popular with the public due to his tragic backstory, which he milks for all its worth. | |

Cota responds by going to Bobby's house when he's not home later that night and kills his wife and son before heading back to Columbia. And this happens after telling Bobby in the courtroom that he held no grudges for the assault. | |

In Magic: The Gathering, Sorin Markov didn't show up as promised when the Eldrazi broke free and threatened his friend Nahiri's home plane of Zendikar, and, just to make it worse, brushed off her concerns as insignificant. She decided to call one of the Eldrazi to Sorin's home plane of Innistrad, causing the death or horrific mutation of thousands of innocent people. She either didn't know or didn't care that Zendikar wasn't destroyed. The fact that Sorin locked her in a stone prison for several centuries likely didn't do wonders for her mental state. | |

Unfortunately, Ulric has a peculiar sense of justice, neither slaying the devil-bear nor returning the man's wife, instead kidnapping the devil-bear's wife as a replacement. The man is not amused, but Ulric simply tells him he doesn't understand true justice. | |

Loki's plot to take control of Earth in The Avengers (2012) is largely driven by jealousy and resentment towards his adoptive brother Thor, as well as rage at being deceived about his true ancestry. He wants to subjugate the entire population of Earth — a planet that Thor treasures and protects — thereby wiping out many of the people that Thor cares about. In addition, Loki feels that he was cheated out of his rightful place as the ruler of Asgard. | |

Ace Attorney: In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Manfred von Karma attempts a convoluted version of this on Gregory Edgeworth, despite having already shot and killed him. He adopted Gregory's son Miles and raised him to embody the exact opposite of everything Gregory stood for. In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Franziska likes to whip Phoenix, Edgeworth and/or Gumshoe for other people's shortcomings. In the final case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, Dahlia Hawthorn works along with her mother Morgan Fey's plan to murder Maya Fey even though she doesn't sympathize with Morgan's motive. She explicitly states that this trope is her reason for wanting to murder Maya: Mia Fey is the one who she really hates, but Mia already died (for reasons unrelated to Dahlia) so she wanted to kill her sister, Maya. In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice's case 2, Roger Retinz is so furious with Troupe Gramarye for kicking him out that, with the rest of the troupe either dead or missing, he takes it out on the sole heir, Trucy, who was only a child at the time of his dismissal. In the DLC case, Turnabout Time-Traveller, Sorin caused a traffic accident that led to the villain's fiancee (Sorin's sister) dying. So he decides to kill Sorin's completely innocent fiancee (though he ends up framing her for murder instead after Larry screws things up) so that Sorin could feel the same thing... despite Sorin having also suffered badly from the accident. |

Tangled: While Mother Gothel was at first was content to send Flynn to his execution with Rapunzel being ignorant of it, once that fails, she freely tells Rapunzel what she did to him, which carries overtones of this, as does stabbing Flynn in front of Rapunzel. Gothel does not state such a motive clearly, which would hamper her style of manipulating Rapunzel — instead she blames Rapunzel for it. The Stabbington brothers also go after her when she was with Flynn. |

Enkidu and Gilgamesh kill the Bull, and then the gods decide that one of them must be punished for this transgression. They choose Enkidu. | |
