History Jerkass / ComicBooks

** Let's not forget Nermal either. He seems to visit Garfield purely to steal his food, rub it in Garfield's face that Nermal's cuter and younger than he is, steal Jon's affection and using his cuteness to con him into giving Nermal food, and after all that seems to think that Garfield is his friend. Thankfully, Garfield always makes him pay for it.

* Many of the superhomies from ''{{Empowered}}'', especially Major Havoc.

* [[AllStarBatman Batman]] ([[InNameOnly otherwise known as]] [[WebOriginal/AtopTheFourthWall "Crazy Steve"]]), in ''All Star Batman and Robin'' is by far the most asshole-ish incarnation of the character ever depicted. He not only seems to get a kind of sadistic joy out of any pain he causes criminals (as well as any cops in his way), but he kidnaps and verbally assaults Dick Grayson, (who just moments before had seen his parents killed before his eyes), leaves him to fend for himself in the Batcave and then when he finds out Alfred fed him a proper meal, ''picks him up by the scruff of his collar and '''threatens''' him'' (this is guy who in most other versions is [[ParentalSubstitute the closest thing Bruce currently has to a father]]). And all the other superheroes ain't much better (WonderWoman shoving a male bystander out of her way whilst calling him a [[StrawFeminist "sperm bank"]]).

* [[{{Sub-Mariner}} Namor]] consistently treats pretty much everyone he knows as inferior to him, often engages in hypocritical rebukes of others, and won't stop trying to get into Sue Storm's pants, marriage be damned. And those are the days he isn't hobnobbing with despots like Osborn or Doom or sending giant tidal waves to drown New York City.

*** It should be noted that Jean didn't purposefully do this to Peter. She made it so Logan would switch with the last person he wanted to be and that turned out to be Peter. Peter's anger is nonetheless quite justified, though.

*** While anything MarkMillar says in interviews can be taken with an entire bucket of salt, he's gone on record saying that this Cap's personality (which he charitably just calls "social conservative") is ''specifically'' what makes him ''cool'', in a DieHard kind of way. Then again, this is the same interview where he compares Cap to ''Batman'' in a "He goes in, ''3000 people die''', and the situation gets resolved" comment, and that no one's ''ever'' taken a superhero in the direction he's taken Ultimate Cap, so once more, take it with a lot of salt.

* {{Deadpool}} can be a huge jerkass at times.Especially when it comes to blind Al, Weasel and Bob.

* Ultimates 3 turns Hawkeye into a melodramatic, gun-crazy DeathSeeker. When he goes to Spider-Man for information after "Venom" attacks the mansion, he gets Spidey's attention by ''shooting at him'', paralyses him with a tranq dart, and then leaves him lying in the snow after getting called back by Cap. Man, [[ButtMonkey Spidey]] gets this from both teams.

** In issue 6, Peter had just been hired and Jameson had decided to treat spiderman like a criminal. When everybody leaves Peter asks Jameson "How do you know he's a criminal?" and Jameson replies "I don't. I could just as easily send good press his way. Why don't I? This will sell more papers." Twenty years later he has a nervous breakdown, why? He didn't unmask spidey when he had the chance. Complete. Total. Jerkass.

* Ultimate Daredevil is a complete tool. He's still a good guy, but his methods are a little more extreme and when a disheartened and down on his luck ([[SarcasmMode for a change of pace]]) Spiderman asks him for advice, he thoroughly chews him out in the rudest, most dickish way imaginable--something to the effect of "You're a stupid little kid who's in over his head. Get out of this business before you get someone, [[{{Jerkass}} or more importantly]] ''[[JerkAss me]]'', killed." Afterwards, several times when Peter came to his aid Daredevil gave him a mild beating and threw him out of the fight.

* Andy from FoxTrot was a caring mom at the beginning of the strip, but soon became one of the most Jerk Assy moms in the world. She feeds her family vegetarian food every night, keeps the thermostat extremely low during the winter, and acts sarcastically when they complain about her Jerk Assery. In fact, [[http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2006/08/27/ Here is a prime example of her Jerk Assery]].

* Namor consistently treats pretty much everyone knows as inferior to him, often engaged in hypocritical rebukes of others, and won't stop trying to get into Sue Storm's pants, marriage be damned. And those are the days he isn't hobnobbing with despots like Osborn or Doom or sending giant tidal waves to drown New York City.

* SpiderMan is practically the ''only'' non-JerkAss in [[MarvelComics Marvel's]] Ultimateverse. And even ''he'' gets his moments. But for more specific examples:

** Peter David wrote a great story in X-Factor that gave a reason why Quicksilver's always such a tool. He explains to psychiatrist Doc Samson that everyone gets irritated waiting in a long line because someone else's slowness is holding it up. Imagine if everyone on else the planet is like the person holding up the line. That's the way Quicksilver feels.

* [[AllStarDCComics Batman]] ([[InNameOnly otherwise known as]] [[AtopTheFourthWall "Crazy Steve"]]), in ''All Star Batman and Robin'' is by far the most asshole-ish incarnation of the character ever depicted. He not only seems to get a kind of sadistic joy out of any pain he causes criminals (as well as any cops in his way), but he kidnaps and verbally assaults Dick Grayson, (who just moments before had seen his parents killed before his eyes), leaves him to fend for himself in the Batcave and then when he finds out Alfred fed him a proper meal, ''picks him up by the scruff of his collar and '''threatens''' him'' (this is guy who in most other versions is [[ParentalSubstitute the closest thing Bruce currently has to a father]]). And all the other superheroes ain't much better (WonderWoman shoving a male bystander out of her way whilst calling him a [[StrawFeminist "sperm bank"]]).

* [[CarlBarks Gladstone Gander]]. He can get anything he wants [[BornLucky just by wanting it]], and yet keeps on tormenting his poor cousin Donald with his insufferable jackassery and SmugSnake behavior.

* Desire from TheSandman. Whoo boy.

*The Comedian from {{Watchmen}}.

* While Lucy might have been the worst Jerk Ass in the {{Peanuts}} cartoons, Violet was the worst Jerk Ass in the comic. She constantly abused Charlie Brown both verbally and physically, and once firmly declared that he had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
