* Claude "Torch" Weaver from ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' is a fat, plain-looking man who is [[DissonantSerenity always smiling]] and wears thick glasses with basic "aviator" frames (bearing a strong resemblance to Creator/{{Drew Carey}}). He is also an insane PyroManiac who burned his wife to death and now works as a bounty hunter. Surprisingly capable in a fight too, since he was one of the last men standing during the [[CarnivalOfKillers Greenback Jane]] arc.

* Rosa Aphrodia from ''Anime/SpaceWarriorBaldios'', similar to Lady Une mentioned above, is presented as a cold and merciless LadyOfWar with glasses and TheDragon to the main villain Gattler. [[spoiler:She later ditches the glasses as part of her CharacterDevelopment when she warms up to the hero Marin.]]

* ''Series/{{Columbo}}'': a very chilling example occurs in an early episode. After the villain offs his victim, his efforts to clean the crime scene are superimposed on each of his spectacles, while his face keeps unnervingly still. Watch the scene in all its Hitchcockian glory here: https://youtu.be/S1rLbO6RcCg

* ''Series/TheFlash2014'': Much like [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Giles]], as mentioned above, Dr Harrison Wells is much more prone to ShootTheDog than his idealistic team-mates, and has the NerdGlasses to match this tendency. Interestingly, he usually takes his glasses off before doing morally questionable things. [[spoiler: This is because he doesn't actually need them, only wearing them as part of his 'Harrison Wells' persona. When he drops the act and reveals his true identity, he stops wearing his glasses altogether.]]

* {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Series/StargateSG1'' with alternate/evil Daniel Jackson, who ''didn't'' wear glasses. One WMG suggests that glasses are the inverse of [[BeardOfEvil beards]] in the Franchise/StargateVerse. (Both the glasses and the evil were the result of some AppliedPhlebotinum.)

* Subverted with Shuji Ikutsuki from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' -- wears glasses and... is a PungeonMaster (it's not even a facade -- you can see ''practicing'' his puns while alone in one scene). [[spoiler:Double subverted when it turns out he was EvilAllAlong]].

* Played with by Klug in ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever''; he's a jerk, he's impatient, and he fits the bill for GoodIsNotNice. ...Then he get's [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by a demon, is practically humiliated as the three people he offends the most save him, and he eventually [[PetTheDog Pets The Dog]]. His possessed alter ego is a more straight example, as he is a literal demon with only half a soul, wearing glasses.
%%* Goda from ''VideoGame/SentinelDescendantsInTime''. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] at the end when we learn that Beni is really Ramirez.]]

** Inverted with Jonathan Crane, who, while he wears glasses in the comics (see above), never wears them in the show. This might have something to do with his more sympathetic [[AffablyEvil portrayal]] in the show.

* Mertle Edmonds from ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' acts like a AlphaBitch of a SpoiledBrat who insults and spites Lilo simply because she acts "weird". In [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the first movie]] alone, she also [[RejectedApology harshly rejects Lilo's apology]] and threatens to run her over with her trike.

* Kevin from ''ComicBook/SinCity'' (pictured above) is a [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]] SerialKiller. He's first introduced to us after having eaten a woman's arm while she was still alive. This is further emphasized by how the art style frequently gives the lenses a solid, opaque look.
