According to many movies, books, and TV shows, seriously good-looking men will usually turn out to have character defects making them just short of the AntiChrist. This is the polar opposite of the more old-fashioned BeautyEqualsGoodness -- originally a subversion of the trope, now has pretty much become a stereotype in itself. In a way, it is the adult verison of the JerkJock stereotype. In contrast, [[NerdsAreInnocent nerdy-looking or plain characters are usually nice]].
This trope is not gender exclusive - attractive women can display unpleasant personalities, hence the trope's alternate name. However, it's harder to positively identify a work in which Hot Girls are Bitches, because female characters of ''any'' moral fiber who are presented in visual media tend to be good-looking - making it rare for any fiction to draw this trope's direct correlation between beauty and nastiness.
Joe Bob Briggs discussed how you could tell the bad guy in thrillers. "For example, if you were watching the [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek Lifetime channel]], it was always the handsome guy."
Related tropes: AllGirlsWantBadBoys, ManOfWealthAndTaste, EvilIsSexy, BastardBoyfriend, BespectacledBastardBoyfriend. Often leads to a DracoInLeatherPants situation - he's an asshole but the female viewers[=/=]readers love him anyway. Compare BeautyIsBad.

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' plays with BeautyEqualsGoodness quite a bit, resulting in a few straight examples of this trope.
** Joffrey Baratheon inherited his parents' stunning looks, but is physically and emotionally abusive to his family and fiancee and governs the realm with [[TheCaligula terrible petty decisions]].
** Gerold Dayne, also known as "Darkstar," has the traditional Valyrian beauty of the Daynes but is arrogant, mean-spirited, has a "cruel tongue," and is eager to make a name from himself distinct from that of his family. He's also not above [[spoiler: nearly killing Myrcella, maiming her in the process]] if it means accomplishing that. For bonus points, Arianne describes the trademark PurpleEyes of House Dayne as looking [[BlackEyesOfEvil black from a distance]] on him.
** Jaime Lannister, whose shining beauty is consistently praised throughout the series, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment pushes an eight-year-old boy out the window for catching him engaging in incest]] in his first appearance. His CharacterDevelopment into becoming a slightly better person is juxtaposed with his increasing scruffiness.
** Downplayed with Loras Tyrell, whose trademark Tyrell good looks have garnered him plenty of InUniverse fangirls. He's arrogant and cocky, but isn't really a terrible person. [[spoiler: And then he gets several major injuries attacking Dragonstone -- having ''boiling oil'' poured on his face included -- so it remains to be seen whether he'll live to subvert or invert this trope or not.]]
** The series also inverts this by having more unattractive guys as more decent, such as Ned Stark or Tyrion Lannister, but also averts this by having good-lucking nice guys such as Garlan Tyrell and Robb Stark.

* Creator/AgathaChristie seems to have believed this very much. If a handsome man is introduced in a book of hers, he will be either the killer, the accomplice or otherwise immoral. Note that this is restricted to men whose attractiveness is spelled out: other characters might be handsome too, but the fact being mentioned is a sure sign that we're looking at a gigolo, a blackmailer or just a bastard. This is so prevalent in her writing that in the ''one'' book where a handsome man isn't a complete bastard (he's loyal and caring, but he still ''might'' be a gigolo), the killer turns out to be [[spoiler: the other handsome man.]] This may be ''writer on board'' as Christie's first husband was a good-looking jerk.

On the other hand, Jerin Whistler, who ends up marrying Keifer's widows, subverts this. He's noted in-universe for his beauty, and also for his intelligence and kind nature. Jerin even manages to help Trini deal with her aversion to men caused by Keifer brutalizing her before she was of age for marital relations anyway.

* Damon Salvatore of ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''.
* Jeff on ''Series/{{Community}}'', although he gets slightly better over time.
* Angel and Spike in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. They've both spent a good amount of their lives [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]], murdering and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil even raping]] various people, and never reform completely, but it doesn't seem to detract from their sexual appeal. They dress a lot more stylishly than either [[CoolLoser Xander]] or [[GoodIsBoring Riley]] and, [[InformedAbility judging by the reactions of other characters in-universe]], they are supposed to be more physically attractive.
%%* Eric from ''Series/TrueBlood'', especially after he took a level in sexy in seasons two and three.
%%** And Bill and Jason have had their moments of complete bastardry, too.
* Prevalent in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. As a general rule, while a character's level of attractiveness doesn't determine how "good" they will be, the less attractive male characters seem to form better romantic relationships.
** While Sam and Dean might basically be good people (at least, when Sam hasn't gone darkside) they both manipulate women for sex and have a tendency to self-obsess and act like major jerkasses to everybody around them. If you were a random bar-frequenting woman in the Supernatural universe and they hadn't saved your life, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were bastards. It's worth noting however that Sam averted this entirely before he became a Hunter again in the series pilot, instead having been in a stable and loving relationship with Jessica at the time.
** Castiel isn't sexually manipulative towards women, but that might have more to do with his general [[NoSocialSkills cluelessness about human behaviour]], his devotion to his faith, and disinterest in the matter. The sexual chemistry with Meg seems to be based around violence, and he once accidentally burnt somebody's eyes out and forgot to fix them, although it seems like he could have done so easily. So he's probably not the best boyfriend material, either.
** Bobby is comparatively less attractive but was able to maintain a stable and loving marriage for many years.
** While Samuel Winchester, Senior (the grandfather) is morally ambiguous, his marriage and commitment to his family seems a lot stronger than John's.
** The only notable exception to the rule is Jimmy (Castiel's vessel), who is very pretty and was (before he became involved in angel business) a devoted and loving father and husband. And the actor who plays him is probably [[{{Adorkable}} cuter when he plays Cas, anyway]].
** Almost every female demon, ever.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. The series's OfficialCouple is pretty much set up to be the classic 'NiceGuy nerd courting the Prom Queen'. As such, almost, but not all, rival love interests who happen to be attractive, or at least arguably more attractive than Leonard, tend to be complete and utter assholes, who treat Penny terribly. The exceptions being Stuart (who goes from slightly adorkable NiceGuy to almost a parody of the Adorkable Woobie types), Zack (who despite fitting the mold, he's an example of GoodIsDumb), and her recent British study partner Leonard was jealous of, who was wiling to play along with Leonard's attempt to scare him off.

* IWRG luchador El Guapo Siniestro was of this opinion, and if his name didn't give it away, [[CardCarryingVillain based this view on himself]]. Mr. México and Poder Méxica had some fun getting him shaved.[[/folder]]
[[folder:VideoGames]]
* Invoked in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', where Cloud's JerkassFacade is connected to the fact that he now looks like a [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous sexy SOLDIER member]] as a result of [[PhlebotinumRebel the experimental medical procedures done on him]] - apparently, he expects SOLDIER members should be like this. A couple of characters remark that the persona makes him seem attractive in itself.

On the other hand, considering [[{{Jerkass}} who we're talking about]], the appearance boost may not be to blame.
** Jeff Fecalman, Brenda Quagmire's abusive boyfriend.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'''s very own JFK.
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' used an art style that made most characters attractive. However, according to some fans, the most attractive characters are Pietro, Gambit, and Avalanche. While Gambit and Avalanche both have lines they won't cross and times of heroics, they still had strong shades of criminal level jerkery. However, Pietro takes the cake. Sociopathic disregard for human life? Check. Starscream level cowardice? Check. Draco level smugness? Check. Pretty white hair and bishonen level attractivness according to girl fans? Check.
** The jock Duncan took JerkJock gig even further when he attacked the Morlocks with guns and bombs.

!![[DistaffCounterpart Female]] examples:
[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* Creator/EiichiroOda appears pretty fond of it. Especially [[Manga/OnePiece Nami and Boa]] often use their looks to get work done for them or get through with absurd actions.
* Asuka Langley Soryu from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. In '''spades'''. However, in her case, it's a '''''brutal''''' [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of this trope: she's a hot bitch, yeah, yet not only doesn't she get away with her antics (Touji is annoyed to no end by her, Shinji puts up with it because he's deeply fucked up, Rei is indifferent most of the time, etc.), but she's subjected to an horrifying BreakTheHaughty process that reveals her terrible DarkAndTroubledPast.
* Lust from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', all the way down to being a female DracoInLeatherPants. Then again, she '''is''' created after the {{Lust}} [[SevenDeadlySins sin]].
** Actually, it depends on which canon you're following. She plays it straight in the manga and ''Brotherhood'', but in the first anime series she's [[AntiVillain a shitload more sympathetic.]]
%%* Yui of Manga/FushigiYuugi, though in her case it's more because she's been ''badly'' manipulated and emotionally abused by Nakago, mentioned above.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Slan is a more risque version of TheVamp who goes around pretty much naked except for a neck corset and a under bust corset that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything looks like a penis being inserted between her boobs]]. She is every bit as vile as the other God Hands, shown when she comments that Femto's rape of Casca while Guts watches is wonderful and forcing Guts to perform oral sex on her when having him captured, making it clear she wants him as her SexSlave.

%%* ''Series/PowerRangers'': Barring Rita, most of the humanoid female villains could qualify.
%%* Laurie from ''Series/That70sShow''
* Alex Barnes a/k/a Alicia Bannister from ''Series/TheSentinel''. Although beautiful, she was a thief, a multiple murderer, and generally {{AxCrazy}}. Also Lyla, Maya. . . really, most of the women Jim & Blair get with--they're all gorgeous, and all thoroughly nasty pieces of work.
* Saffron (or whatever her real name is) from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', who was a thief, a swindler, and who tried to kill Mal by leaving him naked in the desert.
* The Meg demon of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is fond of possessing attractive hosts and varies between smacking around or making out with the Winchester boys.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:{{Webcomics}}]]
* As a possible example of this trope, there's one ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' strip in which a villainess explains her face (and gender) is always hidden because only hot evil chicks are allowed to show they're evil.
** Double lampshaded because at first they just think it's because she was horribly disfigured in an accident, but then she mentions that even before the accident, a woman who was "nothing special" would have been a pretty good catch compared to her.

%%* Pitch Black from ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians''.
* ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' gives us [[spoiler:Prince Hans. Anna thinks he's gorgeous and he's certainly very charming, but he turns out to be a sociopathic SocialClimber who is only interested in Anna for her claim to the Arendelle's throne, and was planning to arrange an "[[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident accident]]" to get Elsa out of the way even before her powers were revealed.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/AnimalHouse'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheNerds'' definitely qualify.
** ''Animal House'' tries to have it both ways. The opposite number of Omega House's Gregg Marmalard is clearly Eric Stratton, who's just as handsome as Gregg is but is clearly intended to be the DesignatedHero. But if you consider Gregg's "good" counterpart to be John Blutarski (who ''does'' ultimately succeed in wooing Mandy Pepperidge away from him, after all), then this trope is played straight.
%%* ''Film/ShallowHal''.
* ''Film/CruelIntentions'': Both lead characters are played up as being very attractive, and both are rotten to the core. However, the film's climax features some character development for the male as he develops actual, honest feelings for the genuinely wholesome girl he was chasing for most of the film.
* Ajax, the BigBad of ''Film/Deadpool2016'', is a cruel and sadistic MadScientist who performs torturous experiments on people to turn them into super-powered slaves. He's also played by Ed Skrein, who, in the closing credit sequence, is regarded by the cartoon Deadpool as the "hottest" of the actors.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Literature]]
* [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Joren]] of Stone Mountain in Tamora Pierce's ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' books, a misogynist asshole who goes to any length possible to get Kel out of knight training. [[http://q-sama.livejournal.com/198479.html According]] to [[WordOfGod Pierce]] he was based off of someone she knew in college.
* Galad Damodred of ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' was one of these. He was never evil per say but he would do what he thought was good, regardless of who got hurt. [[spoiler: He got better in Book 13.]]
%%** On the less sympathetic side, there's Rahvin.
* In the second book of Kat Richardson's ''Greywalker'' series, the main character Harper immediately distrusts the really good-looking guy -- she's right. Several other times played straight in this series. Harper winds up deeply in love with a guy who's ''not'' handsome.
* Creator/AgathaChristie seems to have believed this very much. If a handsome man is introduced in a book of hers, he will be either the killer, the accomplice or otherwise immoral. Note that this is restricted to men whose attractiveness is spelled out: other characters might be handsome too, but the fact being mentioned is a sure sign that we're looking at a gigolo, a blackmailer or just a bastard. This is so prevalent in her writing that in the ''one'' book where a handsome man isn't a complete bastard (he's loyal and caring, but he still ''might'' be a gigolo), the killer turns out to be [[spoiler: the other handsome man.]] This may be ''writer on board'' as Christie's first husband was a good-looking jerk.
** Averted, however, in [[spoiler:''Literature/DeathComesAtTheEnd'']], in which a handsome suitor to the heroine of the story is a good (though not faultless) man. [[spoiler:She ultimately realizes, however, that he is not the one she wants to marry. It's also notable that the murderer is the only one of the patriarch's sons ''not'' to be described in the story as handsome, although the other two handsome sons are jerks.]]
** [[spoiler:Richard Carey in ''Literature/MurderInMesopotamia'']] is another aversion.
* Dr. Mark Ahriman of ''Literature/FalseMemory''. Handsome, successful psychiatrist [[spoiler:who [[MindRape mind rapes]] (and sometimes literally rapes) his patients, sending some out to kill people and driving others to creative suicide for his own entertainment]].
* [[PosthumousCharacter Keifer Porter]] of ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' was noted for being cruel, dim-witted, and exceptionally beautiful. On the other hand, Jerin Whistler, who ends up marrying Keifer's widows, subverts this. He's noted in-universe for his beauty, and also for his intelligence and kind nature. Jerin even manages to help Trini deal with her aversion to men caused by Keifer brutalizing her before she was of age for marital relations anyway.
* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' plays with BeautyEqualsGoodness quite a bit, resulting in a few straight examples of this trope.
** Joffrey Baratheon inherited his parents' stunning looks, but is physically and emotionally abusive to his family and fiancee and governs the realm with [[TheCaligula terrible petty decisions]].
** Gerold Dayne, also known as "Darkstar," has the traditional Valyrian beauty of the Daynes but is arrogant, mean-spirited, has a "cruel tongue," and is eager to make a name from himself distinct from that of his family. He's also not above [[spoiler: nearly killing Myrcella, maiming her in the process]] if it means accomplishing that. For bonus points, Arianne describes the trademark PurpleEyes of House Dayne as looking [[BlackEyesOfEvil black from a distance]] on him.
** Jaime Lannister, whose shining beauty is consistently praised throughout the series, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment pushes an eight-year-old boy out the window for catching him engaging in incest]] in his first appearance. His CharacterDevelopment into becoming a slightly better person is juxtaposed with his increasing scruffiness.
** Downplayed with Loras Tyrell, whose trademark Tyrell good looks have garnered him plenty of InUniverse fangirls. He's arrogant and cocky, but isn't really a terrible person. [[spoiler: And then he gets several major injuries attacking Dragonstone -- having ''boiling oil'' poured on his face included -- so it remains to be seen whether he'll live to subvert or invert this trope or not.]]
** The series also inverts this by having more unattractive guys as more decent, such as Ned Stark or Tyrion Lannister, but also averts this by having good-lucking nice guys such as Garlan Tyrell and Robb Stark.
* In the ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series, Herald Talia's abusive father and brother were quite attractive, and as a result she's wary around handsome men; the man she falls in love with is repeatedly described as homely.
* Christian Grey from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' is described as amazing attractive by his love-slave girlfriend Anastasia Steele, and of course he is cruel, domineering, abusive jerk. Their relationship is portrayed as [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} S&M]], but since it completely misses the entire [[UsefulNotes/{{Consent}} "Safe, Sane and Consensual"]] thing, he's really just a DomesticAbuser.

** [[spoiler:Richard Carey in ''Literature/MurderInMesopotamia'']] is another aversion.
* Dr. Mark Ahriman of ''Literature/FalseMemory''. Handsome, successful psychiatrist [[spoiler:who [[MindRape mind rapes]] (and sometimes literally rapes) his patients, sending some out to kill people and driving others to creative suicide for his own entertainment]].
* [[PosthumousCharacter Keifer Porter]] of ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' was noted for being cruel, dim-witted, and exceptionally beautiful. On the other hand, Jerin Whistler, who ends up marrying Keifer's widows, subverts this. He's noted in-universe for his beauty, and also for his intelligence and kind nature. Jerin even manages to help Trini deal with her aversion to men caused by Keifer brutalizing her before she was of age for marital relations anyway.
* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' plays with BeautyEqualsGoodness quite a bit, resulting in a few straight examples of this trope.
** Joffrey Baratheon inherited his parents' stunning looks, but is physically and emotionally abusive to his family and fiancee and governs the realm with [[TheCaligula terrible petty decisions]].
** Gerold Dayne, also known as "Darkstar," has the traditional Valyrian beauty of the Daynes but is arrogant, mean-spirited, has a "cruel tongue," and is eager to make a name from himself distinct from that of his family. He's also not above [[spoiler: nearly killing Myrcella, maiming her in the process]] if it means accomplishing that. For bonus points, Arianne describes the trademark PurpleEyes of House Dayne as looking [[BlackEyesOfEvil black from a distance]] on him.
** Jaime Lannister, whose shining beauty is consistently praised throughout the series, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment pushes an eight-year-old boy out the window for catching him engaging in incest]] in his first appearance. His CharacterDevelopment into becoming a slightly better person is juxtaposed with his increasing scruffiness.
** Downplayed with Loras Tyrell, whose trademark Tyrell good looks have garnered him plenty of InUniverse fangirls. He's arrogant and cocky, but isn't really a terrible person. [[spoiler: And then he gets several major injuries attacking Dragonstone -- having ''boiling oil'' poured on his face included -- so it remains to be seen whether he'll live to subvert or invert this trope or not.]]
** The series also inverts this by having more unattractive guys as more decent, such as Ned Stark or Tyrion Lannister, but also averts this by having good-lucking nice guys such as Garlan Tyrell and Robb Stark.
* In the ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series, Herald Talia's abusive father and brother were quite attractive, and as a result she's wary around handsome men; the man she falls in love with is repeatedly described as homely.
* Christian Grey from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' is described as amazing attractive by his love-slave girlfriend Anastasia Steele, and of course he is cruel, domineering, abusive jerk. Their relationship is portrayed as [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} S&M]], but since it completely misses the entire [[UsefulNotes/{{Consent}} "Safe, Sane and Consensual"]] thing, he's really just a DomesticAbuser.

%%* Sawyer on the first couple of seasons of ''Series/{{LOST}}''.
%%* Nathan Petrelli and Sylar throughout ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.
%%* Chuck Bass in ''Series/{{Gossip Girl}}''.
* Stephan Urkelle of ''Series/FamilyMatters'' first appearance was a self-absorbed prick who couldn't care less about Carl's friend getting shot. However, as Steve began modifying and perfecting the formula to create him (Boss Sauce), Stephan become a suave and kind-hearted gentleman. Essentially, a cool and slightly less intelligent version of Steve.
** Some of the guys that Laura becomes interested in usually end up being jerks who just want to sleep with her.
* Damon Salvatore of ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''.
* Jeff on ''Series/{{Community}}'', although he gets slightly better over time.
* Angel and Spike in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. They've both spent a good amount of their lives [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]], murdering and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil even raping]] various people, and never reform completely, but it doesn't seem to detract from their sexual appeal. They dress a lot more stylishly than either [[CoolLoser Xander]] or [[GoodIsBoring Riley]] and, [[InformedAbility judging by the reactions of other characters in-universe]], they are supposed to be more physically attractive.
%%* Eric from ''Series/TrueBlood'', especially after he took a level in sexy in seasons two and three.
%%** And Bill and Jason have had their moments of complete bastardry, too.
* Prevalent in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. As a general rule, while a character's level of attractiveness doesn't determine how "good" they will be, the less attractive male characters seem to form better romantic relationships.
** While Sam and Dean might basically be good people (at least, when Sam hasn't gone darkside) they both manipulate women for sex and have a tendency to self-obsess and act like major jerkasses to everybody around them. If you were a random bar-frequenting woman in the Supernatural universe and they hadn't saved your life, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were bastards. It's worth noting however that Sam averted this entirely before he became a Hunter again in the series pilot, instead having been in a stable and loving relationship with Jessica at the time.
** Castiel isn't sexually manipulative towards women, but that might have more to do with his general [[NoSocialSkills cluelessness about human behaviour]], his devotion to his faith, and disinterest in the matter. The sexual chemistry with Meg seems to be based around violence, and he once accidentally burnt somebody's eyes out and forgot to fix them, although it seems like he could have done so easily. So he's probably not the best boyfriend material, either.
** Bobby is comparatively less attractive but was able to maintain a stable and loving marriage for many years.
** While Samuel Winchester, Senior (the grandfather) is morally ambiguous, his marriage and commitment to his family seems a lot stronger than John's.
** The only notable exception to the rule is Jimmy (Castiel's vessel), who is very pretty and was (before he became involved in angel business) a devoted and loving father and husband. And the actor who plays him is probably [[{{Adorkable}} cuter when he plays Cas, anyway]].
** Almost every female demon, ever.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. The series's OfficialCouple is pretty much set up to be the classic 'NiceGuy nerd courting the Prom Queen'. As such, almost, but not all, rival love interests who happen to be attractive, or at least arguably more attractive than Leonard, tend to be complete and utter assholes, who treat Penny terribly. The exceptions being Stuart (who goes from slightly adorkable NiceGuy to almost a parody of the Adorkable Woobie types), Zack (who despite fitting the mold, he's an example of GoodIsDumb), and her recent British study partner Leonard was jealous of, who was wiling to play along with Leonard's attempt to scare him off.

* Invoked in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', where Cloud's JerkassFacade is connected to the fact that he now looks like a [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous sexy SOLDIER member]] as a result of [[PhlebotinumRebel the experimental medical procedures done on him]] - apparently, he expects SOLDIER members should be like this. A couple of characters remark that the persona makes him seem attractive in itself.

** An episode of has Peter becoming a jerk after plastic surgery turns him into one of the beautiful people, [[ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful because being handsome means that he can screw the rules]]. On the other hand, considering [[{{Jerkass}} who we're talking about]], the appearance boost may not be to blame.
** Jeff Fecalman, Brenda Quagmire's abusive boyfriend.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'''s very own JFK.
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' used an art style that made most characters attractive. However, according to some fans, the most attractive characters are Pietro, Gambit, and Avalanche. While Gambit and Avalanche both have lines they won't cross and times of heroics, they still had strong shades of criminal level jerkery. However, Pietro takes the cake. Sociopathic disregard for human life? Check. Starscream level cowardice? Check. Draco level smugness? Check. Pretty white hair and bishonen level attractivness according to girl fans? Check.
** The jock Duncan took JerkJock gig even further when he attacked the Morlocks with guns and bombs.
%%* The Dark Ace from ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks''.
* Alejandro in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' in spades. He's a lying, back-stabbing jerk, but is also the major MrFanservice of the show. Has anyone counted how many times he's ripped off his shirt?

!![[DistaffCounterpart Female]] examples:
[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* Creator/EiichiroOda appears pretty fond of it. Especially [[Manga/OnePiece Nami and Boa]] often use their looks to get work done for them or get through with absurd actions.
* Asuka Langley Soryu from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. In '''spades'''. However, in her case, it's a '''''brutal''''' [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of this trope: she's a hot bitch, yeah, yet not only doesn't she get away with her antics (Touji is annoyed to no end by her, Shinji puts up with it because he's deeply fucked up, Rei is indifferent most of the time, etc.), but she's subjected to an horrifying BreakTheHaughty process that reveals her terrible DarkAndTroubledPast.
* Lust from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', all the way down to being a female DracoInLeatherPants. Then again, she '''is''' created after the {{Lust}} [[SevenDeadlySins sin]].
** Actually, it depends on which canon you're following. She plays it straight in the manga and ''Brotherhood'', but in the first anime series she's [[AntiVillain a shitload more sympathetic.]]
%%* Yui of Manga/FushigiYuugi, though in her case it's more because she's been ''badly'' manipulated and emotionally abused by Nakago, mentioned above.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Slan is a more risque version of TheVamp who goes around pretty much naked except for a neck corset and a under bust corset that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything looks like a penis being inserted between her boobs]]. She is every bit as vile as the other God Hands, shown when she comments that Femto's rape of Casca while Guts watches is wonderful and forcing Guts to perform oral sex on her when having him captured, making it clear she wants him as her SexSlave.

%%* ''Series/PowerRangers'': Barring Rita, most of the humanoid female villains could qualify.
%%* Laurie from ''Series/That70sShow''
* Alex Barnes a/k/a Alicia Bannister from ''Series/TheSentinel''. Although beautiful, she was a thief, a multiple murderer, and generally {{AxCrazy}}. Also Lyla, Maya. . . really, most of the women Jim & Blair get with--they're all gorgeous, and all thoroughly nasty pieces of work.
* Saffron (or whatever her real name is) from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', who was a thief, a swindler, and who tried to kill Mal by leaving him naked in the desert.
* The Meg demon of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is fond of possessing attractive hosts and varies between smacking around or making out with the Winchester boys.

* As a possible example of this trope, there's one ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' strip in which a villainess explains her face (and gender) is always hidden because only hot evil chicks are allowed to show they're evil.
** Double lampshaded because at first they just think it's because she was horribly disfigured in an accident, but then she mentions that even before the accident, a woman who was "nothing special" would have been a pretty good catch compared to her.
