* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' Peter Parker and Flash Tompson is classic example, with Petey being shy and sallow and Flash being athletic and proud, though where Peter is brave and compassionate, Flash was crude and shallow. But after high school Peter became a successful photographer and swift ChickMagnet, while Flash's attitude lost him a lot of work and women. When becoming grudging friends, Flash acknowledges Peter became a better man than him and goes off to war to get of his shadow.

* Wayne and Garth vs. Benjamin in ''Film/{{Waynes World}}'' .

* While the titular character of ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon'' isn't ''ugly'' per se, his clownish hair and makeup certainly make him rather goofy-looking. His primary companion [[TheLancer Ebisumaru]] is even goofier, and is pudgy with a big nose. In contrast, the vast majority of the series' [[BigBad Big Bads]] are tall, muscular {{Bishonen}} (albeit generally with some kind of [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} bizarre personality quirk]]). It reaches a point where these villain characters all qualify as having [[NonstandardCharacterDesign Nonstandard Character Designs]], as they are significantly taller and more realistically-proportioned than every other character in the series.

* The original version of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' did a very similar episode, except the two visitors to Third Earth were both male.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' has handsome and charming VillainProtagonist Light facing unsocial and somewhat wild-looking HeroAntagonist L. Interestingly, though, whenever Light is being particularly evil, his face tends to twist into asymmetrical grins and other bizarre expressions that utterly break his boyish handsomeness.

* ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' is more frightening than ugly, but at least two of his enemies ('''Grigori Rasputin''' and his Nazi henchwoman, Ilsa Haupstein) are definitely [[EvilIsSexy sexy-type villains]]. Also note Prince Nuada, a very handsome elf prince, is the main antagonist of the second movie.

** This also applies to the series backstory, where the handsome and outwardly charming [[FaceofanAngelMindofaDemon Tom Riddle]] frames the large and fierce-looking [[GentleGiant Hagrid]] for crimes he himself commited. Inverted, however, by the present day where Hagrid still looks like a normal human (height aside), while Riddle now looks considerably more monstrous.
