* Creator/SandyMitchell's Literature/CiaphasCain is a FakeUltimateHero and among the most successful. Inquisitor Amberley Vail, his long-term associate and lover, is perhaps the only person who can see past his sterling reputation. However, she herself thinks that he is too hard on himself, and possesses many heroic attributes. On the other hand, Cain's own adjutant/bodyguard Jurgen thinks the world of him - but clearly ''doesn't'' see Cain as infallible or superhuman, and is usually prepared for eventualities he knew Cain would overlook. Cain deliberately [[AFatherToHisMen cultivates a good appearance among the soldiers under him]], partially because it makes them more effective, partially to avoid UnfriendlyFire. On the one hand, he tries to play up this reputation whenever possible, but on the other hand he earned it by genuinely caring about them ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation for whatever reason]]).

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Captain Sunshine's butler seems pretty unimpressed with him. [[spoiler:This may have something to do with the fact that he was the original Captain Sunshine, and the current Captain was the first Wonderboy, his sidekick.]]
