Assassination Methods

An assassination method is one of many different ways to kill a Sue, ranging from the classical arrow to the chest, to the more creative method of pitting them against another Sue with a similar description. This is an incomplete list of those methods. They are classified by the continuum in which they took place, usually but not always the continuum of the badfic. Assassination methods which are closely in line with what could happen in canon tend to be more effective at getting the continuum to revert to its normal state.

Assassination is not the same thing as murder; not all Sues are killed (if they are not a danger to the existence of the Multiverse, Sues can be recruited).

Note: Some methods involve feeding the Sue to a canonical monster, and hungry beasts are often considered a neat way to dispose of the bodies regardless; agents should be aware that Upstairs does not approve of this method being used too often, as it is liable to leave the canonical monsters uncanonically fat.

Ace Combat

 * No Chute - Agent Sergio Turbo destroyed Thunder 2's parachute after he ejected from his locked-on plane. Attacking an ejecting pilot is a war crime outside badfic, but in this case was acceptable due to targeting a Stu.

Animorphs

 * Black Hole - Used by Agents Tangara and Tawaki against Forlay.


 * The mantle of the Hork-Bajir world - Used by Tangara and Tawaki against Gem Stoned.

Avatar (film)

 * Pandora's Atmosphere - Agent Florestan charged a replacement of a Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind canon by charging her as she was breathing in the atmosphere of Pandora. This killed her just after he finished going through the charge list.

The Bourne Trilogy

 * Shot in the throat - Used by Agent Kitty Callahan against Helen Johnson. Notable because it is the canonical method of assassination by the books' antagonist, Carlos the Jackal.

Call of Duty

 * M1006 Sponge Tipped Less-Than-Lethal Round - used to nonlethally subdue Specialist Anna Noname so she could be charged by private security contractor Pam Ritchie and DoSAT agent Techno-Dann.

Crossovers

 * Eaten by baby T. rexes - A character replacement that Falchion and Rashida had intended to kill on their first mission encountered the T. rex babies from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, who were very hungry and extremely furious that he had abused them and their family. You do the math.
 * Internal detonation - Adam Squall/Terrordactyl and a replacement of Violet Parr capable of turning into a T. rex were both killed this way when Falchion inserted a bomb in Adam's body and fed him to her.

Discworld

 * Agatean thunder clay and Klatchian coffee - used by Agents Manx, Shadow, and Jill Greenleaf to kill Angua Sue. They strapped her to an activated barrel of Thunder Clay, force-fed her the coffee, and threw her over the edge of the Disc. Klatchian coffee, according to Jill, "strips away the fluffy pink clouds that protect the human mind. And Sues are practically made of those little delusions and plotholes and excuses." Therefore, it causes them to disintegrate. The Thunder Clay exploded before Angua Sue fully disintegrated, thus winning Shadow the five-dollar bet.


 * Assassin's Guild receipt - a handy excuse for leaving bodies lying around in Ankh-Morpork, used by Dafydd and Vemi to explain away the corpses of Lascivia Sto-Helit and a Hogfather impersonator.

Farscape

 * Mostly Dead - Agents Supernumerary and Ilraen left the useless, non-canon wizard Dr. Jenkins frozen in stasis on the Diagnosan's planet in the Farscape continuum. He'll remain there until he can serve a purpose as an organ donor, at which time he will become all dead&mdash;unless the Scarrans destroy the facility first, in which case he'll still die. It's a win-win situation.

Agents Naomi, Laburnum, and Foxglove killed them with a non-magical axe and sabre, then dumped the bodies in Deathly Hallows-era Knockturn Alley, where nobody would be surprised to find the mangled bodies of two Muggles.
 * Given to Greyback- Agents Rina and Randa fed Ordellya to the werewolf. And his entire pack.
 * Lethal injection - Agent Supernumerary injected a concentrated salt solution into a nerfed!Snape doppelgänger in his first mission with Agent Ilraen. There was a lot of twitching.
 * Long Way Down - Agents July and Library portalled Lily Evans' American Half-Sister Sue to the Forbidden Forest. Or, to be more precise, a few hundred feet over the Forbidden Forest. With no broom.

 * Geographical expansion - Agents Dafydd and Selene were forced to take on "legolas by laura", in which Mordor is suddenly two hundred yards away from Mirkwood. They fixed this by tying the Sue's arms to a rock in Mordor and her legs to a tree in Mirkwood, then knocking her out, allowing the canonical distance to snap back.
 * Also employed by Derik and Gall to punish Vanya for forcing the Anduin to come close enough to the Misty Mountains for her to drop straight in after falling off a broken ledge.

 * Warg disguises - Employed by Jaster, Threnody, and Harmony against Honesah.

 * Masturbating - suggested by Agent Drake as a way to kill feline Sues ("Naomi says God kills a kitten every time I masturba-") during "For Your Eyes Only," a squick-laden fic in which the Naruto characters were transformed into hermaphroditic kittens. Vetoed by Naomi, Stormsong, and Skyfire on the grounds of good taste and the fact that "If you're physically capable of doing that after seeing this fic, you need professional help."


 * The Jaunt - from a Stephen King short story, used by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove to remove a Lisa Simpson Sue. Evidence suggests the Jaunt disassembles the body on a molecular level while leaving the brain alive to experience an apparent eternity with no outside input, which generally annihilates the sanity. If set to Nil, the body is not reassembled at the other end, thus making it a perfect body disposal system.


 * Puff of Logic - after Agent Supernumerary pointed out that Reicheru Ketsuekineko-oni's existence was founded on an unstable time paradox involving her being the mother of God, she and her spawn promptly ceased to exist a la Douglas Adams.

Used by Agents Manx and Shadow.


 * Redneck Trees - of the webcomic Something Positive. Talking trees which use their roots to... you don't want to know. Employed by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove (Stormsong and Skyfire were present, but deny all responsibility) to kill two Pointless Rapist Bit-Characters by the names of Raketooth and Crabclaw from a Redwall fic. Officially forbidden as an execution method shortly after they used it.


 * Springfield Tire Fire - Used by Suicide and Ithalond against Springfield.


 * Trampled to death by a rabid Led Zeppelin audience - employed by Agent Trojanhorse to dispose of Kasia and Elleelen.
