  • A specific variant of the Heroic BSOD (or its villainous counterpart) in which the victim sees the danger coming right at them, but is in so much shock that (s)he cannot move. (S)He just sort of stands there, like... Well, a deer in headlights. The causes for this vary. Maybe the victim has just seen a big monster charging right at him, ready to gore him with its giant horns . Maybe his best friend has a gun pointed at their head and he has just realizing that a Heel Face Turn has just occured. Or maybe the crafter of a Xanatos Gambit just realized that a Spanner in the Works has just ruined everything. May overlap with Oh Crap. If the victim survives said incoming danger, it may lead to a Heroic RROD. Didn't See That Coming may lead to this in a villain. Examples of Deer in the Headlights include:
