Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (The Evil Hurt Puppy)
His sad story:
He was born into a life of slavery. His mother was also a slave, and he had no father. He was won in a dice game, separated from his mother, and taken by a Jedi knight to a counsel where he was rejected by those by whom he had been promised sanctuary.
After several years of training, against counsel orders, and the death of his first mentor, he returned to his home planet to find his mother kidnapped, and eventually beaten and starved to death. He takes refuge in a manipulative, corrupted politician who eventually warps Anakin's mind and uses his powers for his own benefit.

Four Brothers (2005)
Jack Mercer (The Quiet Thug Hurt Puppy)
His sad story:
We don't know much about the youngest of the Four Brothers, because most of the story focuses around Marky Mark, but from what I can gather, Jack was bounced around foster homes much like Mr. Will Hunting. He was abused in at least one of them before he landed with a good old lady who took in lost causes...and then gets herself shot.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Wolverine (The Mutant Hurt Puppy)
His sad story:
OK X-men nerds, I'm going strictly by the movie here. That's why it's a movie list.
His father was killed one night when he was very young and too sick to do much. He discovered his mutation committing another murder in order to avenge his father and is forced to become a child on the run.
Together with another mutant that he considers almost a brother, they spend a good part of a century fighting in every war that they can handle. When war and death wears on him, Wolverine leaves and takes on a peaceful life of hiding. He even has a girlfriend, who betrays him, pretending that she's dead to get him to join a team of mutants.
Wolverine gets involved in a military program that takes advantage of his immortality to cut him open and fuse his bones with adamantium. It does not kill him, but the trauma of that, and the escape from the facility leave him without a memory of his long life and he wanders several years without knowledge or purpose, known as a freak and earning money where he can.

Harry Potter (The Hurt Puppy Who Lived)

That's right. It may be for children, but the back story isn't to laugh at. Mr. Potter's mother and father were murdered in front of him when he was only a year old. He was also the victim of attempted murder that left him scarred for life. He was placed with his only known living relatives who physically and emotionally abused him and neglected him to the point of stunting his growth. He was taken away at the age of eleven, but forced to return to those same relatives until he was of legal age.
During his stay away from his abusive aunt and uncle, Harry was the victim of several assassination attempts, many of which resulted in serious injury. He witnessed the murder of a fellow student, as well as his mentor, his pet, and several of his closest friends.

He ends up living on the streets and in shelters, doing anything he can to make his child at least momentarily happy.
