* ''Literature/MaidenCrown'': In the Danish ballad "Valdemar and Tove", Tove is characterized as little more than King Valdemar's OneTrueLove and a saintly TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth murder victim of his wife, Queen Sophia. The novel portrays her as a catty and passive-aggressive GoldDigger (albeit a sympathetic one) who seduced Valdemar for the pragmatic reason of wanting to escape her miserable home life and spreads malicious gossip about the queen.

** In the comics, Mister Sinister's [[ComicBook/MutantMassacre massacre of the Morlocks that his Marauders carried out]] was an atrocity to be sure, but a small-scale one. [[spoiler:In the SequelSeries, Sinister was made into a CompositeCharacter with Cassandra Nova as the massacre of the Morlocks was combined the massacre of most of Genosha from the first arc of ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' -- meaning the animated Sinister now as a ''million+'' body count to his name, rather than merely dozens.]]

*** Then again in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Flash is shown again to be more jerkassed than his comic book counterpart as he is shown to just want to profite of him knowing Peter Parker and therefor Spider-Man, going as far as pretending to be Spider-Man´s best friend and blackmailing Peter when the latter needs his help.

* ''WesternAnimation/BattleTech1994'' makes Galen Cox, normally the [[RedOniBlueOni level headed rationalist to Victor Steiner Davion's youthful hotheadedness]], into a much more aggressive and suspicious character, with a degree of petty criticism and anti-Combine bias that is not present in the original novels. {{Justified|Trope}} however, as the cartoon is canonically an in-universe propaganda piece in the form of children's entertainment, retelling historical events but incorrectly representing many of the major characters and events, leading to both wild inaccuracy (such as normal humans being able to use Elemental suits without modifications) and character assassination (such as Galen's dickishness).

* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'': Raspberry Tart/Torte in the 2021 series, with the addition of AdaptationalVillainy. In most incarnations, she's a cheerful NiceGirl who's either a tomboyish jock or a girly fashionista, but in the 2021 version, she's become an AlphaBitch and Strawberry's SitcomArchNemesis, who is jealous of her business and plots to run her out of the [=BerryWorks=].

** Angel Cake from the 2003 series. Her original 1980s incarnation was infallibly polite and kind to everyone, as befitting her name. Her 2003 incarnation is much more of a jerk, being prone to arguing with everyone and generally acting rude.

Raspberry Tart/Torte in [[WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity Berry in the 2021 series, Big City]], with the addition of AdaptationalVillainy. In most incarnations, she's a cheerful NiceGirl with a sharp tongue who's either a tomboyish jock or a girly fashionista, but in the 2021 version, this series, she's become an AlphaBitch and Strawberry's SitcomArchNemesis, who is jealous of her business and plots to run her out of the [=BerryWorks=].[=BerryWorks=]. Later on she undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and becomes closer to her previous characterizations as a nice girl with a sharp tongue.
*** Sherry Bobbleberry from the same series likewise undergoes this treatment. In her original 2003 incarnation she was a nice, if clumsy, girl who went out of her way to help everyone. In ''BitBC'', she's a narcissist who hogs the spotlight from her bandmates and ditches them after a falling-out over her lack of contributions to the band.
