* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': Kloppen has thick, luscious brown hair, long eyelashes and wears his hair in curls. He's also the ConqueringAlienPrince of Zaal and massacred most of the galaxy's life forms.

* Mello from ''Manga/DeathNote'', who's routinely mistaken for a woman by readers because of his long hair, midriff-baring leather outfits, and fur-lined coats. In some of the official art and in the official colorized manga, he's shown with black nail polish and lip gloss. He's also very dangerous, and [[AwesomeByAnalysis manages to deduce that there are two Death Notes]].

* Envy from ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003''. He's an elegant DanceBattler and even prettier than his genderless manga counterpart along with being a cunning manipulator, TheDragon and the most powerful homunculus after Pride.
** Solf J Kimblee from ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood''. Compared to many of the hyper-masculine muscle-bound soldiers, Kimblee is small, thin, neat, polite, and fixated on art and beauty (even if he has a very unconventional idea of it.) He's also one of the most powerful, competent and feared of state alchemists.

* Wrestling/TheFabulousOnes have been compared to male models (as opposed to bodybuilders, powerlifters, or indeed, wrestlers) yet they were not [[TheFightingNarcissist obsessed with their looks]] or [[RickyMorton battered]] baby {{face}}s but a straight forward foot in your ass {{tag team}}.
* Even after Wrestling/ShawnMichaels moved away from his Gorgeous George gimmick, he still came off as effeminate sometimes, not that anyone doubted him in the ring-just his orientation.

* Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} and Wrestling/{{Christian}} during their more pretty boy years.
* Wrestling/ChrisJericho can sometimes borderline on this depending on his vanity level at the time.
* Wrestling/JimmyJacobs is tough and he knows it. He's so convinced he's tough that he dies his hair pink, paints his nails, wears makeup, and calls himself a princess.
* In 2003 it was decided the [[WrestlingFamily second generation]] of Los Brazos, third-generation luchadors overall, would never become as successful as their fathers unless they created their own [[TheGimmick gimmicks]]. Los Brazos weren't imitators of ''their'' father, Shadito Cruz. So Brazo de Oro Jr became "El Papi de Papis" La Máscara, Brazo de Plata Jr [[MonsterClown became]] Psycho Clown, the son of Brazo de Cibernetico became [[JustLikeRobinhood Robin Hood]] Jr and Brazo de Platino Jr became Maximo, a Roman general who wore pink feathered shoulder pads and ''really'' short skirts. "El Nuevo Exotico", as he would come to be known, used his genuine strength, a toughness that saw him battle through injuries, and yes, his "[[AssKicksYou butt bombs]]" to become Wrestling/{{CMLL}} World Heavyweight Champion, despite consistently weighing in as a light heavyweight.
* [[Wrestling/DaltonCastle "The Peacock Party Boy" Dalton Castle]], with his bare foot peacock feather mask attendants, their peacock feather hand fans, his peacock cape, his feather patterned tights, and his PornStache. He caws like a bird too. And he's damn near deadlifted ''Donovan Dijak'' into a bridging German suplex! He went further at a West Warwick show before ''Global Wars'' when he fully deadlifted the 350 lbs Kongo!

* Le Chevalier D'Eon: In real life, not the anime. "I'm just going to live the rest of my life as a woman so I can continue to be a badass super spy, whatever."

** Light Yagami himself is a villainous example of this trope. He's extremely pretty, wears a corset in the manga at one point, and enjoys it, and becomes the ruler of the world for over half a decade, mostly by himself. He's a somewhat downplayed version as he generally wears masculine clothing.

* Maidman from ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' is a transvestite, and the biggest BadassNormal of the story. He's that universe's version of Batman, except a crossdresser.
* Roxxas, a villain from ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', is best described as "flamboyant" (though "flaming" might also be a good word). He traditionally dresses in the highest fashion, in the brightest colors, and loves to wear makeup (we're talking eye shadow and lipstick). He is literally portrayed as having most of the worst "limp-wristed gay" stereotypes you've ever heard of. And did we mention that [[OhCrap he's a murderous, psychotic, renegade Kryptonian who escaped from the Bottled City of Kandor]]?
* Creator/MarvelComics remake of The Rawhide Kid was supposed to be this. An effeminate, AmbiguouslyGay [[GayCowboy Cowboy]] who was still a crack shot with any gun and a total badass. It's arguable whether or not they succeeded...
* In ''ComicBook/TheScorpion'', the foppish and vain DepravedHomosexual Neoli Trebaldi is a deadly swordsman with few equals.
* The Rose, a crime boss who occasionally appears in ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' comics, is known for his fondness for flowers, often wearing one in his lapel or tending gardens of roses in his penthouse. More than one individual had this identity, and the first, Richard Fisk, would later upgrade to the Blood Rose, a more violent version of the identity.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Tomahawk}}'', Private Jud Fuller was a soldier who previously belonged to the 3rd Virginia, a top infantry regiment, before serving in Tomahawk's Rangers during the American Revolution. Fuller earned the nickname "Brass Buttons" as he proudly wore his brass-buttoned infantry uniform. He spent copious time keeping his uniform immaculate, especially polishing the brass buttons.

* Leeron from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', full stop. He's basically every CampGay mannerism personified, but he's also capable of being able to creep out the manliest badasses in the show (both Kamina and Viral especially). He also happens to be the most awesome engineer in the multiverse and all the crap he makes or takes command of does totally awesome shit that makes reality and probability his collective bitch. Being voiced by Creator/SteveBlum, whose CampGay is surprisingly good, doesn't hurt, either.

* Lelouch from ''Anime/CodeGeass''. When he's not fiercely commanding his troops on the field of battle, he's often seen comforting his little sister and sometimes hanging out with the girls at school. In addition, he cooks, and, when in Secret Identity mode, is absolutely ''fabulous''.

%%* Leon Powalski from ''Franchise/StarFox''.%%ZCE
%%* Vega from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series.%%ZCE

%%* Zelos from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''.%%ZCE

%%* Dhiar from ''Webcomic/IncubusTales'' is most certainly one of these.%%ZCE

[[folder:Web Originals]]

* Similar to the above example is [[DanceBattler Amane Nishiki]] from ''Franchise/BlazBlue''. A ''very'' flamboyant man, he nonetheless can hold his own against the other fighters. [[spoiler:Oh, and he's also an [[AllPowerfulBystander Observer]].]]

* Zevran in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is a somewhat over-the-top flamboyant bisexual, while remaining a fairly effective addition to the Warden's [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits arsenal of wizards, soldiers, and backstabbers]].

* Zhang He in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''. In one of the games, he had a ''butterfly outfit''. Seriously. He always looks, acts, and talks overly flamboyantly (like when he persuaded Xiahou Yuan to do a pre-battle dance routine so their ride to victory would start "beautifully") but those ginormo claws attached to his hand aren't just for show, and he tends to be one of the most frighteningly effective officer killers in the series.
* [[BigBad Pagan Min]] from ''{{VideoGame/Far Cry 4}}''. Pagan Min likes to dress flamboyantly and isn't afraid to wear his more theatrical influences on his sleeve. Doesn't make it any less terrifying when he stabs Darpan in the back and exhorts him to cry for help.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' has had many BigBad characters post-FFVI who show shades of this.

** And before all of them, there was [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]], a flamboyant MonsterClown who ''lives'' for destruction. He later [[spoiler:ascends to godhood by absorbing the power of the Warring Triad]].
* Seliph from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar''... well, he's [[DudeLooksLikeALady got the looks]], and adds in the fact that he's surrounded by beautiful women (if you take them all into account, 15 of them are possible {{Love Interest}}s, a number that sets him apart from other Lords in the series). Not only is he a level-headed and kind HumbleHero, he's ''also'' a total badass once he gets out there to fight TheEmpire -- he's got the same caps as the famous [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Ike]], and he grows faster and has a better weapon to boot.
** VisualPun: [[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/dlc/img/dlc0524b_img.jpg He's Shogun Peacock in Fire Emblem Awakening.]]

* Endrance from ''VideoGame/DotHackGU'' is ''very'' [[DudeLooksLikeALady pretty]], flamboyant, and deeply in love with the male lead. Said love is what motivates him to perform ''two'' BigDamnHeroes moments, and he is a very useful party member.
* ''VideoGame/HatofulBoyfriend'' has two examples. Ironically, despite most of the characters being birds, neither of them are peacocks. Yuuya Sakazaki is a flirtatious, flamboyant fantail pigeon [[spoiler:who is essentially the pigeon version of Literature/AlexRider -- a teenage spy who's more than happy to pull out ''anti-material rifles'' when the situation calls for it.]] The other is Tohri Nishikikouji, a golden pheasant whose plumage is nearly as fabulous as an actual peacock's -- [[spoiler:and who happens to be a genius scientist and engineer who manages to physically manifest and ''weaponise'' the power of fantasies.]]

* Despite his rather calm characterization and his almost complete lack of gratuitous [=JoJo=] poses in the actual manga, for no reason whatsoever Capcom gave Kakyoin some of the most... ''fabulous'' idle poses which can change when he taunts or attacks in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture''.
* Marluxia from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. He has fluffy pink hair (although it ''was'' closer to brown in the original Platform/GameBoyAdvance sprites). His elemental attribute is [[PetalPower flowers]], usually represented by cherry blossoms or roses. His signature weapon is ''bright pink''. And he's absolutely [[FinalBoss a force to be reckoned with,]] whose [[TheStarscream coup]] nearly succeeded. [[spoiler:''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Kingdom Hearts Union X]]'' reveals that his original self was a Keyblade wielder from the time of the Keyblade War and a fabulous dresser.]]

-->'''Fiora''': Good grief.
* Demon Lord Ghirahim from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' serves as TheDragon to the game's BigBad and is about as powerful as you'd expect for someone with the title "Demon Lord". His appearance also happens to look downright ''fabulous'', with all his diamond ear-piercings, white spandex hugging his slender frame, and what appears to be pink eyeshadow and white lipstick. His flamboyance can be downright menacing at times, such as in his first appearance in the game, where he stalks up behind Link and practically sexually harasses him by peering over his shoulder, putting their faces unnervingly close together. And then came the tongue-flailing...

* Leon Powalski from ''Franchise/StarFox''.
* Vega from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series.

* Osmanthus Wine from ''Shiwuyu/Tale of Food'' fixates ''way'' too much on his own otherworldly beauty, likes to rub in everyone's faces how he's the most beautiful thing in the world, and actually ''weaponizes'' his sex appeal in battle.
* Zelos from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''.

--> '''Spy''' [[BadassBoast (domination line)]]: ''"Oh dear, I've made quite a mess."''

* Mettaton from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is a flamboyant, super-vain performing android who loves attention, glitz, and allegedly fashion, throws out terms of endearment in most of his dialogue, and spends one scene in a dress. He's also surprisingly clever, cool under pressure, and was, according to Alphys, [[KillerRobot additionally programmed to be a ruthless human-killing machine]]. [[spoiler:The last part turns out to be a lie for complicated reasons, but he ''can'' be pretty ruthless when he wants to be.]] His Agent Peacock factor is thoroughly ramped up when [[spoiler:he switches into his EX form, switching him looks-wise from a rectangle with an LED screen and a wheel to a smirking Bowie-esque PrettyBoy in CombatStilettos, giving him stats and attack patterns that make him one of the game's tougher bosses]].
** Subverted with his NEO form only seen during a Genocide Run, since he's realized what a threat you are and dropped the theatrics to instead [[LetsGetDangerous get dangerous]]. Aside from a pair of heart emblems all his camp and flamboyance are swapped with badass spiky armor, glowing wings, and an arm cannon straight from ''Franchise/MegaMan'', [[spoiler:and he goes down in a [[GlassCannon single shot]]]].
* Joshua from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''. Not only is he pretty and prissy, but he also loves trolling the main character by [[HoYay (perhaps jokingly) flirting with him]] while simultaneously (given time) being the most potentially powerful partner in the game. And regarding that last part: it turns out that Joshua [[spoiler: is basically [[JerkAss an obnoxious,]] [[AmbiguouslyGay campy]] version of Jesus.]]
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', all-male Blood Elves give off this vibe. (Again, see {{Elfeminate}}.)
** Kael'thas Sunstrider also qualifies.

[[folder:WebAnimation]]
* Asmodeus from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' is a showy and flamboyantly sexual guy who wears brightly-colored clothing and high heels... but he's also [[EmbodimentOfVice the embodiment of lust]] and one of the most powerful demons in Hell.
* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the [[PraetorianGuard Custodian]] known as Santodes is entombed in a Dreadnought (a form of MiniMecha that serves as a life-support system that lets experienced warriors continue to fight on) which looks like a colossal, beautiful, muscular man. Note that in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', most Dreadnoughts are bulky, boxy machines, while Santodes is a glorious work of masculine art with sculpted muscles and flowing locks of golden hair. When he and his fellow Custodes are impeded by a group of Adeptus Mechnicus Skitarii soldiers, Santodes is able to convince them to let them pass by showing off the beauty of his Dreadnought body, which causes the Skitarii to... ''oil themselves'' at the sight. What's more, it's implied that the reason he's in a Dreadnought is because he attempted to pull a HeroicSacrifice against Fucking Horus to avoid being outdone by [[BadassNormal Ollanius Pius]].

%%* Dhiar from Webcomic/IncubusTales is, most certainly, one of these.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Both of [[Creator/TaliesinJaffe Taliesin Jaffe's]] characters in campaign two of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' qualify as this.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' has Angel Dust, who is a gay spider demon DragQueen porn star turned prostitute/crime boss. He's pretty, flamboyant, flirtatious, masochistic, sarcastic, sassy, and crass. Niffty mistakes him for a woman, and he never bothers correcting her. He'll sleep with just about anyone if there's money in it for him, which funds his drug and alcohol addictions. He has no problem being called a slut, and mocks his client for resorting to such an overused insult. He even propositions [[ObviouslyEvil Alastor]], who is TheDreaded ''in Hell'', when they first meet but is refused. He takes every opportunity to mock and taunt friends and foes alike, deliberately using sexual innuendoes to throw them off. Despite all of this, Angel Dust ''was'' a [[{{gayngster}} 1940s New York mobster]] in life, and his time in Hell has made him even more dangerous. He cheerfully participates in genocidal turf wars, casually slaughtering hundreds of enemies with machine guns, baseball bats, and explosives. He also laughs off a death threat from Vaggie; everyone in Hell is ''already'' dead, so killing him would be pretty difficult.

* In ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', [=LordKnightmon=], who is one of the Royal Knights and skilled enough to fight [=MagnaGarurumon=], wears feminine pink armor, talks with dramatism, and is a CombatAestheticist. However, he was a bit too effeminate, thus the English dub changed not only his name into Crusadermon, but also made him female.

These male characters are badass [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide sensitive guys]]. They're often {{camp}}y, vain, and in many cases [[PrettyBoy pretty]], but they're also incredibly effective at what they do, and quite powerful. They may have combat skills, seduction ability that rivals Franchise/JamesBond's, or simply be [[TheChessmaster Chessmasters]] skilled in manipulating others. They can be [[CampGay gay]], [[CampStraight straight]], bisexual, or even UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}; good or [[SissyVillain evil]]; PlayedForLaughs or played seriously; but they're all dominant personalities who tend to get their way. They also tend to be romantically successful, attracting admirers, and often getting the girl -- or boy, if they're into that.

* Sir Percival Blakeney, Baronet, aka ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel''. Dresses to outshine the girls, appears late at balls because he lost his time trying to tie his cravat ''just right'', and generally dismissed as a fop. Has snagged the [[FieryRedhead hottest]] [[HeroesWantRedheads redhead]] in Europe as his wife, and all the ladies fawn over him, his {{Camp}} posturing, and his slender white hands that are dainty enough to pass as a woman's. Also happens to be the ultra-badass secret vigilante who pulls off daring rescues of French aristocrats on a regular, if not daily, basis. Might even be the UrExample.

** The Fifteenth Doctor is a flamboyant showman who goes clubbing while [[ManInAKilt wearing a fabulous kilt]], and [[EstablishingCharacterMoment puts on a song and dance number]] to rescue a baby from goblins.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Third Doctor is a daring adventurer who wears velvet smoking jackets and ruffled shirts.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' has Angel Dust, who is a gay spider demon DragQueen porn star turned prostitute/crime boss.

** In "Slice of Life", Steven Magnet regales Matilda with tales of his adventures with Cranky that suggest he is as fierce and feisty as he is [[AmbiguouslyGay fabulous]].
** In "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" Big Macintosh transforms (within a shared dream) into an alicorn, with RequisiteRoyalRegalia that would make any princess jealous. He also attacks the Tantabus with as much enthusiasm as DragonKnight Spike and CuteBruiser Rainbow Dash.

* Music/FreddieMercury: The bi icon ended nearly all of his sentences with "darling", spoke in a stereotypically "gay" inflection, and could [[EpicRocking rock the heck out]]! He even wrote "Bohemian Rhapsody" to [[ComingOutStory come out to his then-girlfriend at the time]]. You don’t mess with someone that ''wins'' a fistfight with ''Sid Vicious''.

* The title character in ''Film/{{The Scarlet Pimpernel|1934}}'' and [[Film/{{The Scarlet Pimpernel1982}} its remake]]. Dresses to outshine the girls, appears late at balls because he lost his time trying to tie his cravat ''just right'', and generally dismissed as a fop. Has snagged the [[FieryRedhead hottest]] [[HeroesWantRedheads redhead]] in Europe as his wife, and all the ladies fawn over him, his {{Camp}} posturing, and his slender white hands that are dainty enough to pass as a woman's.

* In Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Ser Loras Tyrell, "the Knight of Flowers," is slender and beautiful. He wears extremely ornate outfits, especially when he jousts, which incorporate his family sigil of roses. He also happens to be a gay man. With all that said, he's one of the most proficient jousters and warriors in the Seven Kingdoms.
