** At his very worst, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]] (or at least a DarkerAndEdgier AntiHero in TheCape's clothing), in contrast to JerkWithAHeartOfGold Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}. Ignoring the complicated mess that is his love life, Cyclops tries to project the image of a wise and noble leader for mutants to admire while keeping dirty secrets from his teammates, such as the existence of ComicBook/XForce, his personal mutant kill-squad. This is after he kicked [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Xavier]] out of his own home because he kept secrets from Cyclops. To be absolutely fair to Scott, he really thinks all of this is necessary to ensure the survival of mutantkind after the various disasters of the past few years -- and he might be right. Still, at one point, Wolverine, X-Force's field leader, reminds Cyclops that his hands are just as dirty as any member of X-Force's since Cyclops organized X-Force in the first place and gave them their orders.\\\
Keep in mind, for most of his decades-long existence, Cyclops has always been TheHero and a straitlaced example of a boy scout and a Cape, essentially the mutant version of Franchise/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Even then, many people disliked him, simply because he was an authority figure contrasted with fan-favorite Wolverine, and also because Cyclops' relationship with [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] stood in the way of their preferred ship. Back then, he was called a "jerk". [[RunningTheAsylum With the new millennium, creators]] took a hotly debated decision to turn him towards a darker path, being the person burdened first with the continued mission of the X-Men, then with the survival of the mutant race after they were nearly wiped out. While this led him to make difficult choices, fans debate that while Scott's actions are sometimes questionable, Wolverine can be seen as hypocritical when he takes an attitude of anti-violence, repulsion to killing, and reluctance to getting mutant teens involved, since Wolverine is notorious for his blood lust, penchant for violence and for always having a kid-sidekick, such as [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]], [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]], Armor, and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]].
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] loves to act loving and caring just so she can twist the knife in and betray every single person who was foolish enough to trust her. Worse still, Mystique has no qualms about using her own children ([[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsNightcrawler Nightcrawler]])’s love to her own advantage, she’s even betrayed [[Characters/MarvelComicsSabretooth Sabretooth]] after sleeping with him. Characters/{{Cable|NathanSummers}} (a time-traveler from the future) even mentioned that in his time, "Mystique" was used in much the same way that "Judas" is used now.

Her husband, as it turns out, had been sent to the lowest circle of Hell for embezzling money from his company.

Her husband, as it turns out, had been sent to the lowest circle of Hell for embezzling money from his company. When Heck reads him the letter, we learn that Amy was behind the embezzling scam, and only sent the letter to her husband in order to find out where the money was hidden, not caring about her husband's eternal torment.
* ComicBook/{{Iznogoud}} tries to be this toward the Caliph. He is terrible at it, but the Caliph is so oblivious it still works anyway.
* Dean in ''My Faith in Frankie.'' Although ''he'' gives the excuse of being in Hell for ten thousand years during the day he spent dead, the very fact that he ended up in Hell implies that he was actually ''always'' like this, and now he just has a focus and outlet.
* ''ComicBook/RickAndMortyOni'': Mr. Hapsburg comes across as a kindly old man who loves horses, but like Rick, he abandoned his wife and child then attempted to have his son FollowInMyFootsteps without bothering to know if he wanted to or could.
* Thessaly from ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' may look like a sweet young college-age girl, but in reality, she's a paranoid, millennia-old witch with a nasty habit of offing anyone who so much as annoys her.
* ''ComicBook/ShamansTears'': Josh's friend Thom seems like a nice person when we first meet him. Issue #2 reveals that he's selling Medicine Hat Reservation horses to poachers and is jealous of Joshua being chosen for the Sun Dance. After he is mutated by Circle Sea's chemicals he outright tries to kill Joshua but T.C. being in danger causes him to snap back to his senses.
* Surprisingly, Sonic the Hedgehog fits this trope in the ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic''. While he was hero-worshiped by all of Mobius as a fearless symbol of hope, he was actually a self-centered, immature {{Jerkass}}. This comes back to bite him in the ass in ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'', where the sheep's clothing gets flung off and he ends up becoming a HeroWithBadPublicity. Once the public knew about some of his more questionable decisions that he made to try and save Mobius, all the {{Jerkass}} tendencies that people were willing to ignore made it easy for [[spoiler:Grimer]] to convince the public that he was a villain.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/SensationComics'': When she first appears, Byrna is acting as a secretary at the Fair Weather Valley town meeting and voices her disgust at how childish the less likable people are acting. Then she's revealed as the "Snowman" who is tormenting the town.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Helen Alexandros (Silver Swan) became Diana and Etta Candy's roommate to befriend them in order to get closer to her sworn enemy Wonder Woman.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** At his very worst, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]] (or at least a DarkerAndEdgier AntiHero in TheCape's clothing), in contrast to JerkWithAHeartOfGold Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}. Ignoring the complicated mess that is his love life, Cyclops tries to project the image of a wise and noble leader for mutants to admire while keeping dirty secrets from his teammates, such as the existence of ComicBook/XForce, his personal mutant kill-squad. This is after he kicked [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Xavier]] out of his own home because he kept secrets from Cyclops. To be absolutely fair to Scott, he really thinks all of this is necessary to ensure the survival of mutantkind after the various disasters of the past few years -- and he might be right. Still, at one point, Wolverine, X-Force's field leader, reminds Cyclops that his hands are just as dirty as any member of X-Force's since Cyclops organized X-Force in the first place and gave them their orders.\\\
Keep in mind, for most of his decades-long existence, Cyclops has always been TheHero and a straitlaced example of a boy scout and a Cape, essentially the mutant version of Franchise/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Even then, many people disliked him, simply because he was an authority figure contrasted with fan-favorite Wolverine, and also because Cyclops' relationship with [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] stood in the way of their preferred ship. Back then, he was called a "jerk". [[RunningTheAsylum With the new millennium, creators]] took a hotly debated decision to turn him towards a darker path, being the person burdened first with the continued mission of the X-Men, then with the survival of the mutant race after they were nearly wiped out. While this led him to make difficult choices, fans debate that while Scott's actions are sometimes questionable, Wolverine can be seen as hypocritical when he takes an attitude of anti-violence, repulsion to killing, and reluctance to getting mutant teens involved, since Wolverine is notorious for his blood lust, penchant for violence and for always having a kid-sidekick, such as [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]], [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]], Armor, and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]].
** Characters/{{Mystique}} loves to act loving and caring just so she can twist the knife in and betray every single person who was foolish enough to trust her. Worse still, Mystique has no qualms using her own children ([[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsNightcrawler Nightcrawler]])’s love to her own advantage, she’s even betrayed [[Characters/MarvelComicsSabretooth Sabretooth]] after sleeping with him. Characters/{{Cable|NathanSummers}} (a time-traveler from the future) even mentioned that in his time, "Mystique" was used in much the same way that "Judas" is used now.
