'''Conflict casualties''' occur in great numbers in many [[science-fiction]] books, films and comics - often at higher rates than in real-life conflicts and sometimes higher than the current human population of the [[Earth]]. Such high figures can be seen in part as a reaction to the much higher population growth that occurred throughout the twentieth century, though ideas of one-upmanship among [[author]]s cannot be discounted either.

* The Robot Wars - Millions of robots kill their owners.
* [[Block Mania]] and [[The Apocalypse War]] - by the end half of the population of [[Mega City One]] - somewhere in the region of 400 million citizens - and the entire population of East Meg One are dead.
* Necropolis - not as high as some previous conflicts, but still huge amounts of deaths.
* Judgement Day - billions are killed.
* Total War - terrorists blow up a number of [[City Block|City Blocks]], killing 4,000,000 citizens in the process.
