** Chris too, in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. He's pretty damaged, but a good guy, and cute too.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' has a history of handsome or {{Bishonen}} male antagonists with troubled backstories.
** N from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', although he ends up a very mild example due to being GoodAllAlong, operating under the misdirections of a TreacherousAdvisor. Also the only example in ''Pokemon'' to have overt romantic subtext with the player character, by way of a FerrisWheelDateMoment.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' Silver, particularly in the [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] where he's even more {{bishonen}}. He starts off as a bit of a jerk but gets some CharacterDevelopment, and Heart Gold/Soul Silver confirm that he's [[spoiler:Giovanni's son]], and developed abandonment issues after the events of ''Red'' and ''Blue''.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'': Cyrus a surprising amount of fans despite his gaunt appearance and attempts to destroy the universe and remake it in his own image of perfection. ''Platinum'' confirms that he has neglectful parents and an unspecified, possibly undiagnosed, mood disorder.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has none other than "ya boi" Guzma, charismatic and bombastic gang leader, dropout, self-proclaimed destruction in human form, and [[AbusiveParents physical and emotional abuse survivor]]. Emo {{Bishonen}} runaway Gladion from the same games also counts.

* Zelos Wilder from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'': he's a young, playful womanizer with long, red hair, flirting with every woman and having a bunch of Fangirls (his "Hunnies"). But later in the game, it is revealed that [[spoiler:he never had any real parents, his father was absent due to his forced marriage to Zelos' mother, who stated that he "should never have been born" in her dying moments. This made him develop a great self-loathing and a feeling of worthlessness. In the superficial society of Meltokio, he was forced to lock his emotions away, therefore adapting to their expectations. This made him become the playful, careless guy he pretends to be]].
* All three ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' protagonists so far:
** Solid Snake is considered by the women and men of his universe to be extremely attractive and glamorous (at least, before [[PlotRelevantAgeUp he gets old]]), but has a history involving drinking problems, mental illness, emotional isolation, and murder, as well as being difficult to handle and having a moody personality. However, another character tells him, "That's what I like about you. That's what makes you human."
** Big Boss is an EvenTheGuysWantHim character, known for his charisma, presence, and magnanimity, who has had romantic and pseudo-romantic relationships with both women and men. He killed his mentor and spends the rest of his life attempting to come to terms with it and trying to stick it to "The Man"...who turns out to be an actual character ([[spoiler:his former best friend!]])
** Raiden at first comes across as well-adjusted but turns out to have been a recovering ex-child soldier with messed-up standards of intimacy. But...so bishie!
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' doesn't have high schools in it[[note]]IOSYS remixes notwithstanding[[/note]], but Fujiwara-no-Mokou definitely screams this trope. She's a {{bifauxnen}}, she's cursed with {{immortality}}, she has a DarkAndTroubledPast (and it's an arguably-masculine, daddy-why-wont-you-acknowledge-me FreudianExcuse), she distances herself from others, yet will help when help is needed. HighschoolAU doujins where she appears typically cast her as a {{Japanese Delinquent|s}} who mellows out to Keine.
* Norman Jayden from ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' is quite handsome, but spends most of the game struggling with a debilitating addiction to [[spoiler: triptocaine]] and [[spoiler: his overuse of the ARI]]. Things get even less pretty when he starts having [[DeadlyNosebleed withdrawal symptoms]] from trying to break himself out of the habit.
* Miguel Caballero Rojo in ''VideoGame/Tekken6'' is the black sheep of his family who keeps on picking fights, arguing mostly with his parents, and running away from home at an early age. But in all this, he has a soft spot for his sister.
** Jin Kazama as well, being on a crusade to destroy the living remnants of his bloodline family and pushes everyone else out of his life as a result. Ling Xiaoyu is the PluckyGirl who holds out hope he'll come around. However in ''6'' he [[YouAreWhatYouHate becomes what he hates]] (albeit for a specific reason).

* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:
** Pre-Crisis Supergirl was innocent and gullible, but her modern incarnations fit this trope.
** [[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Post-Crisis]] Kara Zor-El was at the beginning an emotionally unstable, quick-tempered jerkass due to Kryptonite-poisoning and being a teenager stranded in a strange land (she got over her issues and got better after a while, though). She is also an AmazonianBeauty and boys were obsessed with her, especially during her "troubled teenager" phase.
** [[ComicBook/Supergirl2011 Post-Flashpoint]] Supergirl was a lonely, sad, hot-tempered, HotBlooded teenager with abandonment and anger issues -''a ton of'' anger issues- before CharacterDevelopment kicked off. She was also a Guy Magnet. Once she asked a boy if he wasn't frightened of her, and he said no because she was beautiful.
* ComicBook/{{X 23}}. Troubled is an understatement. She was created to be a living weapon, tried to rebel against her training, ended up as a teenage prostitute, and then, after joining Xavier's School, ended up conscripted to ComicBook/XForce, a squad created specifically to kill people that ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} deemed a threat to mutantkind, which has alienated many of her very few friends. The books make it very clear that Laura is a very beautiful young woman: several characters have outright called her hot, when planning to pull a GrandTheftMe on her Miss Sinister expressed satisfaction she would be getting a very attractive new body, and she caught the attention of both pretty boy Hellion ''and'' the time-displaced teenaged Cyclops, before eventually getting together with ''the'' pretty boy of the X-Men, time-displaced teenaged Angel (and this despite being on a team with the teenaged ''ComicBook/JeanGrey'').
