* [[spoiler:Penelope]] in ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'' starts off as a sweet {{Meganekko}}, but is eventually revealed to be a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] GoldDigger who [[spoiler:never loved Bentley in the first place; she was only using him as a pawn to TakeOverTheWorld]]. [[SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome This retcon]] is [[OvershadowedByControversy one of]] [[{{Sequelitis}} the factors]] behind the game's FanonDiscontinuity.

* Ghiaccio from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'' wears thick, red-rimmed glasses, and is by far the most [[HairTriggerTemper volatile]] member of La Squadra.

%% ** And then there's Akihiro Kurata from ''Anime/DigimonSavers'', MadScientist extraordinaire.

* Played with by Klug in [[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Puyo Puyo Fever]]; 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.

* Subverted in ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' anime episode 799. An old woman's glasses become ScaryShinyGlasses in a flashback ''just'' as Conan is realizing she was responsible for the death of that episode. The subversion is that the death was accidental. The criminal was a burglar who used WallCrawling as a gimmick. They saw and startled one another, shocking the woman and causing the man to lose his grip, which sent him plummeting to his death.

* Prof. Frost, from the last book of Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy of Creator/CSLewis. We never see his eyes because, by a nasty little miracle of staging, they are always hidden behind the reflections of his glasses. Technically, he must have a soul (or had one at one point), but we find out that ''he objects to the very existence of souls.''

* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/GerisGame''; White! Geri wears glasses while Black! Geri does not.

** Ron Tompkins, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStoryOfTerror''.

* ''VisualNovel/WorldEndSyndrome'' has Mibu Kamashiro, an abusive, power-hungry, murderous {{Jerkass}} who is heir to his family's business empire.

* Arnim Zola seems like an aversion in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', when he's the seemingly reasonable one in HYDRA and is a less-than-intimidating bespectacled Swiss man. [spoiler:Not so much when it turns out that he was just trying a different method of building a worldwide fascist empire. His uploaded form in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' has the glasses appear opaque, meaning he looks like he has ''no'' eyes.]]

* Gideon Graves from ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' is the only Evil Ex who has glasses, and is by far the most notorious one.

%% * Gideon Gordon Graves of ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim''.

* Kevin in ''ComicBook/SinCity'' 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.

** Zigzagged with his assistant, Nathalie Sancoeur. She's aloof and cold, but she has her nice moments. [[spoiler:Then she knows Gabriel is Hawk Moth, and is outright helping him.]]

* Suitengu from ''Anime/SpeedGrapher''. Bespectacled {{Bishonen}}, rich [[note]]He [[MoneyToBurn smokes cigarettes made with rolled up money]][[/note]], smart and a totally evil manipulative bastard.

* Sawa Nakamura from ''[[Manga/{{AkuNoHana}} The Flowers of Evil]]'' is a middle school student who is detached from - and disgusted with - the society around her. The series follows a classmate of hers as she catches him doing something creepy and blackmails him into letting her "corrupt" him into something more "real" than the "s**tbugs" around them. They're really just preteens acting out, but from their point of view (and that of their classmates), she is this trope personified.

* Professor Nakagawa from the ''Series/UltramanEighty'' episode, ''The Devil Doctor's Laborator'' is a bespectacled scientist who appears to be a friendly and wise man and an old friemd of Emi Jouno's father, but turns out to be an amoral EvilutionaryBiologist. He stole the harmless infant monster, Myu, from UGM's research facilities, intending to turn a harmless creature into an experimental bio-weapon to prove to the UGM of his superiority as a scientist. Performing all sorts of experimentations on the harmless Myu, including force-feeding it a serum and putting it through electrical torture, Nakagawa's exploits ultimately causes Myu to enlarge to a kaiju-sized behemoth going on a rampage. This bespectacled asshole is the ''only'' human character in the show without a single redeeming quality.

* ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin '':Beria is the only prominent character in the movie who wears glasses most of the time (aside from Malenkov) and he is definitely the most villainous member of the cast.

* In the MiniSeries "I Know My First Name Is Steven", based on the kidnapping of [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Stayner]], Steven's abductor Kenneth Parnell wears glasses throughout. His RealLife counterpart didn't, so presumably either the actor or the producers correctly surmised that they would be very effective in conveying how much of a creep he was.
