History Jerkass / Webcomics

* [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] in ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily''.

** The above notwithstanding, most readers actually ''like'' him, not just the author. Every evaluation above could be heavily questioned, though Squishydodo (the one whose son is now called "Squishybunbunbunbun") indeed seems to suffer from StockholmSyndrome.

* Half the characters of ''Webcomic/SquidNinja'', at one point or another. Even Ikago, although he's usually more JerkWithAHeartOfGold than anything else.

* While most superheroes in ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}'' seem to come across this way, Lightning [[UpToEleven takes the cake]]. He's a [[{{Narcissist}} showy]] [[DirtyCoward coward]], [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centred]], a shameless pervert and such a bad master hero that he caused one of his sidekicks to [[FaceHeelTurn defect to the side of the villains]].

** Karkat is characterized as an angry and misanthropic Jerkass, (theoretically) like everyone else of his kind.
** Vriska is a particularly horrible example of a Jerkass because the first thing we see of her is the incident in which she [[spoiler: runs Tavros off a cliff with mind control.]] \\

** Eridan is quite the Jerkass- not only is he hugely [[{{Narcissist}} self-obsessed]] and just generally obnoxious, but he is also a strong proponent of [[FantasticRacism killing all the lowbloods.]] [[spoiler: Which he eventually partially succeeds at doing.]]
** Kankri, [[spoiler: Karkat's ancestor]], is a very subtle kind of jerk. He constantly avoids triggering or insulting people directly, but he does so in such a condescending and faux-intellectual manner that he winds up insulting them anyway. He's a bit of a hypocrite too.
** Cronus. It says a whole lot that he is creepier than Eridan.
** Meenah, although it's been shown that she is not the worst member of her group and does have EvenEvilHasStandards moments.

* Everybody in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' is a jerkass to some degree except [[OnlySaneMan Jesus, Criminy, and Buddha]], but the worst offender is (surprise, surprise) TheDevil. Milder cases include Slick, Li'l Evil, and {{God}}.
** Slick has become less of a jerk over time, but [[TheScrappy Seymore]] has become an exponentially bigger jerk since 2010.

Just [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004251 one example]] of her jerk-assery while BullyingTheDisabled:

** Cassiel is willing to beat an innocent partygoer over the head and strip her naked to get into a party to make life difficult for Ash and destroy Rumisiel. Maybe it's that [[InTheBlood her uncle]] is [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] that makes her act that way or maybe it's because [[FreudianExcuse no one will let her forget it]].

* Despite the original intention of his being a straight-man, [[SleazyPolitician Pennsylvania Governor]] [[BackAlleyDoctor Doctor]] [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Zexion Doreone]] of ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'' has grown to be the comic's most prominent Jerkass in a comic full of them. He's helped hijack a plane, embezzled tax payer money on hookers, planted explosives in his patients and generally ruined the lives of most everyone around him. The only person that seems to enjoy Zexion's company is Axel, a psychotic mass murderer (who saved Zexion from impeachment by Phoenix Wright by threatening the judge and jury ... after killing three previous juries).

* ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}'': Gogo often goes into a violent rage. She's also socially inept to the point where comes across as more immoral than awkward. Her twin, Didi, once called her "[...] WomanChild who throws trucks when she's angry." However Gogo is often shown to have a [[JerkWithAHeartofGold Heart of Gold]] underneath her mean violent exterior.

** Thief is a more intellectual type of jerkass mainly motivated by greed and feelings of elven superiority, who loves screwing people over with legal contracts and l33t {{ninja}} skills. Black Mage is, by all accounts, a smelly sociopathic fat little creep with horrible manners vis-a-vis women, to the extend that (it is said) the universe exists to hurt Black Mage. On the other hand many people would love to kick Thief in the [[strike:groin]] face, but ever since he upgraded his class to ninja, he's (nearly) impossible to hit.

* Reynardine from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' is... difficult to categorize. When he meets Antimony, he tries to steal her body knowing that it would kill her, but ends up in her stuffed toy instead (making her TheKidWithTheLeash). For a while he alternates between surly and pleasant, disruptive and helpful, [[YuriFan lewd]] and respectful towards his owner. Over the course of many chapters he becomes a trusted friend bordering on a ParentalSubstitute for her, leaving the jerkness behind.

** Vriska is a particularly horrible example of a Jerkass, because the first thing we see of her is the incident in which she [[spoiler: runs Tavros off a cliff with mind control.]] \\

* Rayne from ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' most certainly qualifies. Self-centered, self-absorbed and prone to assholery at the drop of a hat for his own amusement. He frequently crosses over into JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory.
* ''Webcomic/MageAndDemonQueen'': A lot of fire mage Malori's fellow adventurers are jerks, and she has little compunction about turning them into scorch marks them if they give her lip.

** Start with Zii, especially early on. Let's see... [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20091031.html leaving people hanging dry]] [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090926.html for her]] [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090919.html personal]] [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20091006.html and petty]] [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20091029.html interests?]] Check. [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20091024.html Using other people as scapegoats for said interest?]]. Check. [[Webcomic/MenageA3 not suffering any punishment whatsoever?]] Ahh... Check. For a while, anyhow. Her story gets a ''lot'' more nuanced as the comic continues, involving delayed consequences for her actions, flashes of guilt over past thoughtlessness and a lot less arrogant confidence on her part.

** On the male side, we have Jordan, who basically {{mindscrew}}ed Gary into confusion about his own sexuality, [[TheCasanova Matt]], who at least admits he's a bastard, [[CampGay Dillon]], whose own obsession with Gary soon gets out of hand, and the just plain obnoxious minor characters Nathan, Takeru, and the amazingly creepy Yvan.

** Cassiel is willing to beat an innocent party goer over the head and strip her naked to get into a party to make life difficult for Ash and destroy Rumisiel. Maybe it's that [[InTheBlood her uncle]] is [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] that makes her act that way or maybe it's because [[FreudianExcuse no one will let her forget it]].
** Sheldon is an egotistical, arrogant and manipulative jerk who abuses his old friends' trust, even stating outright that they're just 'dumb muscle'. He also seems out to claim as much influence as a driver as possible, kicking people off their own roads in racing gambles and using his muscle to ensure they stay off. Also doesn't take kindly to losing a race/bet--when Ash beats him, he smashes his own car up with a rock to make it look like he was on the receiving end of cheating. Fortunately, he's given a HumiliationConga he won't soon forget.

* Both Yeager and Artax from ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' spend most of their time as [[JerkAss dicks]]. Occasionally they show brief hints of the JerkWithAHeartOfGold [[BerserkButton when Piffany is in danger]]...but they spend the rest of their time planning horrible fates for [[ButtMonkey Nodwick]], as ''entertainment''. This kind of treatment for a henchman is all-but-expected.

** Slick has become less of a jerk over time, but [[TheScrappy Seymore]] has become an exponentially bigger jerk sincce 2010.

* Half the characters of ''Webcomic/SquidNinja'', at one point of or other. Even Ikago, although he's usually more JerkWithAHeartOfGold than anything else.

* ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'' has its title character. When he's not just being an abrasive GloryHound, [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/04/25/plot/ he's using his crew to test his highly unstable transporter]].

* ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest''

* Both Thief and Black Mage from ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-Bit Theater]]''. Sarda also fits, since he's an omnipotent chaotic TricksterMentor (an example is when he threw Australia on Black Mage, not only to punish him for being disobedient but also because the resulting wave would destroy the city White Mage was helping reconstruct).

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''

* ''WebComic/MageAndDemonQueen'': A lot of fire mage Malori's fellow adventurers are jerks, and she has little compunction about turning them into scorch marks them if they give her lip.

* [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?520211-Spoilers-Persona-3-Parody-Comic-%28The-Bestest-Thing!%29 This comic]] paints [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} The protagonist of Persona 3/Minato Arisato]] in a ''much'' more negative light. Funny thing, some of his responses can be done in-game.
* Dionne Crup from ''WebComic/{{Precocious}}'', a pageant girl who despite hating pageants enters them to see the look of hopelessness on the losers' faces. [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/09/14 She seems to have the whole process down.]]

* ''Webcomic/StringTheory'': Benjamin Langstrom, Dr. Schtein, Drew [=MacManus=], and more.

* The ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' FanWebComic by [[http://www.q-ice.com/ Q-Ice]] portrayed Nanoha, Hayate, and Vivio as this. Vivio is especially fun since she managed to be a Jerkass to Jerkass Nanoha when she [[KidFromTheFuture went back to the past]].

* Parakewl from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', an EntitledBastard who HatesEveryoneEqually and is one of the most cowardly and sneaky characters.

* Most of the characters in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' are somewhat morally ambiguous characters, who are rated as jerks, although they usually manage to at least PetTheDog occasionally, and probably rate as [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerks with hearts of gold]]. See [[Characters/MenageA3 the comic's Characters page]] for assessments of all the significant characters, many with reference to some jerkass-related tropes.

* [[{{Munchkin}} Pete]] from ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids''. It came to a head during [[KillerGameMaster his stint as substitute GM]].
