When one of the villains kills the parent (usually father) or even the entire family of one of the heroes, it'll be that hero who kills that villain in question, even if this isn't an explicit act of vengeance. Occasionally, it's the mother, but this is rarer, and usually crops up in cases where the father is unaccounted for. Sometimes the villain killed both parents, but the mother will barely get a mention. If even more Angst is needed, then expect a case of Luke, I Am Your Father. Mothers more frequently appear in Turn Out Like His Father, because they are afraid if the child tries to get Revenge, he will only die, too; the success rate in preventing this trope is very low. Often, the villain will taunt the hero about the death of their parent. This assures the hero's victory. Other times, the villain just won't remember. Usually does the same, but funnier/more monstrous, depending on the circumstances. This is a very common way of tormenting the Extremely Protective Child. If the parent's killer subsequently raised the child, this can lead to some especially heated interpersonal dynamics — especially if they did not originally tell the child what happened to their birth parents. This is a Sub-Trope of It's Personal and a Super-Trope to Crusading Widow, and forms a central part of many Cycles of Revenge. Compare Cynicism Catalyst, The Lost Lenore, and Dead Partner. See also Best Served Cold and Roaring Rampage of Revenge. This can overlap with Familial Foe. |

Street Fighter: One particularly awesome moment out of the mostly Narmful cartoon pops up near the end, with Chun Li attacking M. Bison because he killed her father. M. Bison coolly dodges all of the attacks, and strikes back with: On top of this, he also killed Cammy's parents, giving her the same motivation as Chun-Li. |

The reason for the fight between Cat Noir and Homura Akemi in Kwami Magi Homura Magica is because Homura broke into Adrien's home and shot Gabriel Agreste in his bed. Cat Noir, who already lost his mother, is beyond furious at losing yet another parent, and is so wrapped up in his fury that he doesn't notice things like the fact that Homura had the Butterfly Miraculous, or the fact he had tracked her down into what was clearly someone's evil lair, or the fact the missing Kwami were also there trying to get his attention. | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), Karai's hatred of Splinter aka Hamato Yoshi is because he killed her mother. Except that he didn't. Unbeknownst to her, Splinter is her real father and the person who killed her mother wasn't him; it was her adoptive father the Shredder, aka Oroku Saki, who also proceeded to kidnap her to raise as a tool of revenge against Splinter. Once she learns the truth, she turns the trope's direction towards Shredder instead, though it takes until Season 4 before she can get going on coming after him. | |

Elsewhere in the DCAU, the Justice League Unlimited episode "Double Date" has Anti-Hero Huntress track down the man who killed her parents. However, this trope is prevented by the fact that the killer Mandragora has a son. Once Huntress realizes this (thanks to The Question pretty much engineering the encounter to ensure that she does), she backs down. Ironically, that same son becomes a villain in Batman Beyond, a member of the Brain Trust. | |

The plot of Hamlet is set in motion when the ghost of Hamlet's father appears to him and tells him to avenge his murder at the hands of his brother (Hamlet's uncle). A second incidence in which Hamlet stabs Polonius to death in a case of Mistaken Identity is what seals his fate. The murder drives Polonius' daughter (and Hamlet's former sweetheart) mad and then to suicide. Polonius' son Laertes swears vengeance, which he achieves at grievous cost to almost everyone who is still alive by this point. This is a Shakespearian tragedy, after all. |

When Terry later finds out that Blight is Powers, he confronts him again in the season finale: Elsewhere in the DCAU, the Justice League Unlimited episode "Double Date" has Anti-Hero Huntress track down the man who killed her parents. However, this trope is prevented by the fact that the killer Mandragora has a son.

But since he died because of shoddy electrical wiring, the son has to go on a killing spree through representatives of all the different agents who were responsible for its production. Thus, the reason he gives for his murders isn't "You killed my father" but "Globalization." | |

A villain-on-villain example: Spider-Man: The New Animated Series features a pair of psychic twins out for revenge on Kraven the Hunter for the murder of their parents. Since they aren't powerful enough to take on Kraven directly, they use their powers to trick Spider-Man into believing that Kraven murdered Mary Jane. Kraven is very nearly killed by Spider-Man's Unstoppable Rage, and only survives when Spider-Man realizes what's happening. | |

Years later, Anaak meets her parents' murderer on the testing grounds and goes ballistic. Her overall goal is also to eradicate the Jahad family in revenge, although she must have loosened up in this a bit by the time she's climbing the Tower with an official Princess of Jahad. | |

Kung Fu Panda 2 plays with this trope, with Po finding out that Lord Shen committed genocide against the other pandas, including his biological parents. Only at the climax, Po's motivation to take down Shen is still the safety of his friends, family, and the rest of China rather than for retribution. And at the end, it is revealed that his father and some others survived. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: In the Season 2 finale, Boba Fett tracks down Mace Windu, trying to kill him for killing Boba's father Jango, with the help of another bounty hunter named Aurra Sing. The plan for killing Windu starts off with a motion-activated bomb, comes to a head with an entire Jedi cruiser being destroyed, and finally ends with Boba and Aurra trying to use hostages to get Windu's attention. Made quite impressive if you consider that Boba is eleven or twelve at the time. | |

The Order of the Stick: Eugene Greenhilt (Roy's father) swore a blood oath of revenge on Xykon for killing his mentor (Eugene's own father was alive or had died of natural causes at that point, but in either case the two were estranged). However, it's utterly subverted as Eugene eventually ditches that ambition and dies of natural causes. Roy's own motivation to take out Xykon is the Blood Oath passed down from his father, but this too is subverted eventually. Roy decides that Xykon needs to die because he is an evil prick, not because of a personal vendetta. Belkar is confronted here by Yokyok, the son of a kobold he murdered earlier in the story. Actually a parody of the trope since, while Belkar is on the protagonists' side, he is Chaotic Evil, while Yokyok is Lawful Good but was recruited by the villains specifically because he's Belkar's opposite. Finally, it's Belkar who wins. The whole scene is a (very funny) reference to The Princess Bride. |

Inverloch: Acheron has always assumed that his father died somehow but doesn't know much about it because he was too young to remember and his mother doesn't speak of it. Late in the story, he discovers that his father was killed by an elf for not keeping their secret deal a secret, even though it was the elves who reneged first by welching on the magical protection they had agreed to give the da'kor. Acheron's hatred lasts only a short time after Lei'ella reminds him sharply that the elves are victimizing their own kind too. On the other hand, Silvah—who turns out to actually be Acheron, soul-swapped with Kayn'dar—eagerly joins Raul's plan to sever the elves en masse... a plan that will not kill them directly, but force them to live as mortals like the other races. | |

Shadows over Meridian: Vera Bexley hates Mogriffs with a passion because her grandfather was killed by them. Caleb's strong hatred of Phobos and his loyalists is partially tied to his assumption that his Missing Mom was a victim of their tyranny. Ilitia's grandfather, who was a Phobos loyalist, was killed when Cedric ordered her village to be burned to the ground because several rebels stayed at the inn, making her bitter both at Cedric and Phobos. |

Pathfinder: The adventure path "Way of the Wicked" is just lousy with this trope. Any NPC or hero the villainous player characters kill almost certainly has a relative who will take up their sword to avenge them. The most notable ones are: Richard Havelyn, who starts his quest to avenge his father Thomas after the first book and becomes the party's main nemesis for most part of the game. He even commands a retinue called the Sons of Balentyne, all of them related to an important NPC the players killed. Killing the angel Ara Mathra incurs the ire of his brother Ara Zandra. The final boss Princess Bellinda has this threefold, as over the course of the campaign the party will have killed her brother, father, and most likely her mother. As a villainous foil to the Princess, if the black dragon Jeratheon lives to see Bellinda kill his father Chargammon, he will most likely join the party to kill her in return. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Southern Raiders", Katara tracks down her mother's killer, intending to kill him until she discovers that he is literally Not Worth Killing. Although nothing close to Inigo Montoya's speech is used, "My name is Katara of the Southern water Tribe. You killed my mother. Prepare to die!" still eventually became a meme. In The Legend of Korra, when Season 3 Big Bad Zaheer apparently kills Korra's father Tonraq by airbending him off a cliff (he's rescued just in time), she is suitably enraged. When she is later taken prisoner, she swears to the Red Lotus that none of them will survive after she gets free. |

Akuma's Comics: Jenny Wily hates Doc Robot in large part for killing her father in cold blood for trying to resign from the Ministry. The other part is she considers him an unoriginal hack when designing robots. The Undertaker, head of said Ministry, initially started wanting revenge for the death of his father the Sprite Eater, namely Akuma, for doing the deed. He eventually grows out of it and becomes focused on his own self-improvement and power growth. |

Von Pinn then brushes them off as "disposable caretakers" when Agatha tells her that she'll destroy her for it. Agatha's furious destructive response sends Von Pinn through all the floors of the castle to a hidden chamber deep beneath the basement. Right after Beausoleil kills the Master of Paris, his victim's daughter, who is having a rather brilliant breakthrough, jumps to perch on an electrical orb directly behind him. He has a moment to register that this is bad before she destroys all of his false bodies at once, forcing him to feel all of them. |

Tarzan: Averted in the fight scene between Tarzan and Sabor. In the prologue, the latter killed not only the former's biological parents, but Kerchak and Kala's biological infant son, whom Tarzan replaced. However, by this point in the movie, Tarzan still believes that he is a gorilla and that Kerchak and Kala are his biological parents. Played straight when Clayton kills Kerchak. Even though the former wounded Tarzan's arm only about ten seconds ago, this is when Tarzan takes on Clayton. And it involves an uncanny ability to imitate a gunshot. |

Invoked in Waltharius: When the Frankish king Gunther orders his retainers to attack Walther for the sake of Walther's treasure chests, his retainer Hagen refuses to fight against his old friend Walther until after Walther has slain eleven Frankish champions, one of them being Hagen's own nephew Patavrid. When Gunther finally convinces Hagen to fight, and Walther accuses him of behaving dishonorably, Hagen replies that Walther himself ended their friendship by killing Patavrid, and that he is going to avenge his nephew. However, the facts that Hagen earlier told Gunther that he would not break his friendship to Walther for the sake of Patavrid alone, and that he remained passive while Walther killed five more Frankish champions after Patavrid, imply that this is an attempt at self-justification rather than objective truth. After fighting each other to a draw, Hagen and Walther reconcile and renew their friendship, without Hagen having avenged Patavrid. | |

Since they aren't powerful enough to take on Kraven directly, they use their powers to trick Spider-Man into believing that Kraven murdered Mary Jane. Kraven is very nearly killed by Spider-Man's Unstoppable Rage, and only survives when Spider-Man realizes what's happening. The Spectacular Spider-Man: Peter seems unable to interact with Walter Hardy without showing how much he hates him for the murder of Uncle Ben, his uncle/adoptive parent.

Thankfully, Fry shows up just in time to reveal that the cloaked figures are her parents. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), the leader of the Purple Dragon gang, Hun, killed Casey Jones's father when Casey was a kid; unsurprisingly, Casey is packing a grudge against Hun and everyone wearing the Purple Dragon colors. Averted insofar as Casey refuses a couple of opportunities to kill Hun, however. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), Karai's hatred of Splinter aka Hamato Yoshi is because he killed her mother. Except that he didn't. Unbeknownst to her, Splinter is her real father and the person who killed her mother wasn't him; it was her adoptive father the Shredder, aka Oroku Saki, who also proceeded to kidnap her to raise as a tool of revenge against Splinter. Once she learns the truth, she turns the trope's direction towards Shredder instead, though it takes until Season 4 before she can get going on coming after him. |

In Danganronpa: Last Hurrah, the fourth culprit, Umeko Midori, is motivated by a desire to avenge her parents' deaths. It turns out that some of the culprit's classmates are responsible — Samuru and Mako were apparently involved with the mother's death, and Reyes, as Sparkling Justice, killed the father. Since Reyes, who was killed in the third chapter, is dead by this point, the culprit instead kills Mako, as well as making a failed attempt on Samuru's life. | |

Oglaf: The comic plays with this in one strip where it ends where the father-killer is, himself, a father, starting the process over again with his son. In the Justice/Atonement arcs, a man is out to avenge his parents... who died due to winter. So he decides to kill the Anthropomorphic Personification of winter, the Ice Queen. It doesn't work, and after meeting (and sleeping with) several Anthropomorphic Personifications (of Justice, Enlightenment, Inevitability, Hope, etc.) he meets the Anthropomorphic Personification of "Easy Answers", who tells him that his parents faked their deaths to get rid of him. "On account of you're a prat." |

Later we discover that Azucena actually threw her own son on the fire, and raised the Count's brother as her own son, just so that twenty years later she could trick the Count into killing his own brother, thus also illustrating Revenge Before Reason. | |
