History MrFanservice / ComicBooks

** All the male ComicBook/{{Robin}}s. You've got [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jason]], who has a dark and troubled past and a tendancy to wear leather jackets. [[ComicBook/RedRobin Tim]], a dork with his tendency to ponder his next move and life situation in gratuitous shower scenes. Even [[JerkassWoobie Damian]] has his fangirls.

* [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Dick]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Grayson]]. There's [[{{Fanservice}} a reason]] why he always ends up parading around [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] or in his underwear, and his tendency to get [[JamesBondage tied up]]... often while shirtless or in his underwear. It's because Nightwing ''makes'' female [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat-fans]]. He also tends to suffer extensive ClothingDamage and gratuitous shots of his lovingly rendered ass (such as the one viewable to the right).

* Coming along in the wake of Tom Hiddleston's popularity in the Marvel Films, Loki got a very Hiddleston-esque makeover and [[http://www.previewsworld.com/catalogimages/STK_IMAGES/STK620001-640000/STK633336.jpg became one]] in his new solo series, ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard. The people in charge, knowing where their bread was buttered, had him [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zvYQb0DbuxY/UvxTNsCb09I/AAAAAAAACrM/WSqMFhqmFl4/s1600/loki3.png naked in the shower]] on the second page. (All this is in sharp contrast to his rather {{Gonk}}-ish appearance in the early days of ''Comicbook/TheMightyThor''.)

* ''Comicbook/XMen:''

** ComicBook/{{Colossus}} being tall, handsome and muscular. His costumes, to show off his armoured form, usually don't cover much. When he was resurrected in ''Comicbook/AstonishingXMen'' he spent the first 3 issues of his reappearance wearing nothing but a pair of tight red boxer shorts.

* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'''s boyfriend [[http://adamwarren.deviantart.com/art/EMPOWERED-2-s-Thugboy-59205937?offset=10 ThugBoy]]. Lessee... Half German/Italian, half Japanese (for the all-important manga eyes and long, silky black hair), blessed in the lunchbox, really buff, more likely to be shirtless than not, more likely to be ''trouserless'' than not, more of a {{dark and troubled past}} than a third of the other examples, a prime example of LoveRedeems... and loves his CoolShades.

* ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' has Ian Nottingham. Often drawn shirtless due to fannish demand. (Not that Kenneth Irons was half bad, but he spent less time half naked.) And we shouldn't forget ''ComicBook/TheDarkness''' Jackie Estacado, either... although he does have a slight impediment for estrogen fun.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Lanfeust}}'', the title character is a pretty muscular red haired boy but, oddly enough, [[EvilIsSexy his nemesis Thanos also qualifies]]. He can teleport instantly to any location he memorized but always ends up naked!

* Namor [=McKenzie=] aka ComicBook/SubMariner has spent most of his publication history running around [[WalkingShirtlessScene in nothing more than swimming trunks]] ([[ComicBook/{{Marvels}} and sometimes NOTHING]]), showing off his HeroicBuild. He's dressed up some since then but he still likes to show off his arms and chest.

* ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' has Ian Nottingham. Often drawn shirtless due to fannish demand. (Not that Kenneth Irons was half bad, but he spent less time half naked.) And we shouldn't forget ''ComicBook/TheDarkness''' Jackie Estacado, either... although he does have a slight impediment for estrogen fun.

* Most, if not all of the male elves in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''. When Wendy Pini did a pinup calendar (for 1998), half the plates showed guys. [[http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/images/eq13.jpg The one of Strongbow was reused for a cover later]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} The Gaul'' gives us Tragicomix, who is blonde, handsome, and never wears a shirt so as to allow viewers to see his very nicely built chest.
* While ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is mostly known for its women, Creator/FrankMiller adds plenty of MaleFrontalNudity from all of its male protagonists (with the exception of [[FanDisservice Marv]]). Dwight was even shirtless for the entire ''Big Fat Kill'' miniseries.
* In the ''ComicBook/{{Den}}'' series, Den and any other male human becomes this upon arrival in Neverwhere, naked, muscled and hung, albeit bald.
* In ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'' [[HeroicBuild most]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene Martians]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} men]] could count (with the exception of [[HumanoidAliens the Green People]]) since just like their [[MsFanservice females]], they are half-naked space hunks adorned in the male equivalent to ChainmailBikini. John Carter stands among them due to also appearing completely naked at certain points, albeit with HandOrObjectUnderwear and BarbieDollAnatomy.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Lanfeust}}'', the title character is a pretty muscular red haired boy but, oddly enough, [[EvilIsSexy his nemesis Thanos also qualifies]]. He can teleport instantly to any location he memorized but always ends up naked!

[[caption-width-right:200:Admit it, [[DistractedByTheSexy you're]] [[FemaleGaze staring]].[[note]][[EvenTheGuysWantHim Men, you're not excluded from this.]][[/note]]]]

* [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Dick]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Grayson]]. There's [[{{Fanservice}} a reason]] why he always ends up parading around [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] or in his underwear, and his tendency to get [[JamesBondage tied up]]... often while shirtless or in his underwear. It's because Nightwing ''makes'' female [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat-fans]]. He also tends to suffer extensive ClothingDamage and gratuitous shots of his lovingly rendered ass (such as the one viewable to the right).
** Especially in [[ComicBook/{{Grayson}} Grayson]] in which he becomes a sexy spy. Characters in-universe refer to his good looks & physique often. One recurring AntiVillain, because of perception-scrambling implants obscuring Dick's face, is able to identify him solely by his ass.
** All the male Comicbook/{{Robin}}s. You've got [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jason]], who has a dark and troubled past and a tendancy to wear leather jackets. [[ComicBook/RedRobin Tim]], a dork with his tendency to ponder his next move and life situation in gratuitous shower scenes. Even [[JerkassWoobie Damian]] has his fangirls.
* Franchise/{{Superman}} himself isn't immune to this treatment, even if it's rarely focused on. By sheer dint of his looks and HeroicBuild, and his general adorableness and NiceGuy personality, the Man of Steel has been subjected to his share of {{Shirtless Scene}}s. ComicBook/TheNew52 had his first panel in one issue benchpressing the equivalent of the Earth's weight. In nothing but his boxers. It also extends to the actors cast to play him in just about every live action adaptation.
** Then there's the Kon-El ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, specifically designed to be a younger hotter Superman visually with bad boy imagery included by way of his leather jacket, shades and earring to go with his upbeat too cool for school FunPersonified personality.
* ''ComicBook/TheSpirit''. Although [[SarcasmMode there may be an entirely plausible, plot-related reason]] for why he's BoundAndGagged [[JamesBondage so damn much]]... [[ShirtlessScene and undressed]]... in consecutive splash pages. Or maybe not.

* ''Comicbook/XMen:''
** ComicBook/{{Gambit}} (especially in the '90s): The dark, brooding and mysterious guy with a horrible past and a dark secret, a cool gimmick, a trenchcoat... and the playful nature of playing basketball shirtless. Or showing his magnificent butt to the 'camera' (i.e. boathouse scene or the arrival in the Onslaught-aftermath issue of Uncanny X-Men).
** Before Gambit, Longshot played similar role, both in his own mini-series and as a member of the X-Men. The main differences are that he didn't have a longcoat (though his leather clothes certainly were meant to invoke '80s cool, just like Gambit's clothes invoked '90s cool), and instead of being a brooding yet loveable rogue he was a naive (due to being an amnesiac alien from another dimension) yet loveable rogue. He was also co-created by a female writer.
** ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} from the ComicBook/NewMutants. A handsome, flirtatious [[LatinLover Latino]] who constantly finds himself without a shirt and showing off his muscled physique. One ''ComicBook/XForce'' cover had him shirtless and in chains, which is not the only time that's happened to him.
** ComicBook/{{Colossus}} being tall, handsome and muscular. His costumes, to show off his armoured form, usually don't cover much. When he was resurrected in ''Comicbook/AstonishingXMen'' he spent the first 3 issues of his reappearance wearing nothing but a pair of tight red boxer shorts.
* Savant, from ''ComicBook/{{Birds of Prey}}'', was designed to be a hot one shot villain but became popular.
* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica: [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes James "Bucky" Barnes]] becomes thoroughly baited when he makes his comeback as the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CAPA011_covcol.jpg Winter Soldier]]. Steve Rogers (the Captain himself) can qualify as well.

* ComicBook/BoosterGold was made for this trope. Tall, blonde, muscular, pretty, form-fitting outfit [[http://shirtless-superheroes.blogspot.com/2007/12/booster-gold-beaten.html that gets shredded a lot]], and a great ass. His character development from money-grubbing media whore to tragic genuine hero doesn't hurt either.

* [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] could have very well made his fortune by getting a nickel for every time he ends up naked, tied up, brainwashed, imperiled, or otherwise put into situations that give the fangirls squee-fodder. There is at least one blog solely dedicated to all the times the various incarnations of Tony end up at least half-nude, and it's quite large.
* Coming along in the wake of Tom Hiddleston's popularity in the Marvel Films, Loki got a very Hiddleston-esque makeover and [[http://www.previewsworld.com/catalogimages/STK_IMAGES/STK620001-640000/STK633336.jpg became one]] in his new solo series, ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard. The people in charge, knowing where their bread was buttered, had him [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zvYQb0DbuxY/UvxTNsCb09I/AAAAAAAACrM/WSqMFhqmFl4/s1600/loki3.png naked in the shower]] on the second page. (All this is in sharp contrast to his rather {{Gonk}}-ish appearance in the early days of ''Comicbook/TheMightyThor''.)
** His previous portrayals were heavily DependingOnTheArtist; he was already being depicted before the movies in some of the pre-Siege comics as a PrettyBoy in PaintedOnPants with a shirtless ForgingScene.

* Namor [=McKenzie=] aka ComicBook/SubMariner has spent most of his publication history running around [[WalkingShirtlessScene in nothing more than swimming trunks]] ([[ComicBook/{{Marvels}} and sometimes NOTHING]]), showing off his HeroicBuild. He's dressed up some since then but he still likes to show off his arms and chest.
* Of the [[ComicBook/TheFlash Flashes]], Wally is usually the one who gets the most female attention, and for good reason.

* ComicBook/SteveTrevor's depictions have varied over the years and continuities, but Franchise/WonderWoman's boyfriend and oft husband is always a [[GoodLookingPrivates good looking military man]] who is respectful of women. In ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' he's a noted hunk who ends up frequently shirtless, and in ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'' he's a humble AcePilot with significant clothing damage in his first few appearances and whose beautiful eyes and gentlemanly ways are commented on by many characters.
* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' Hermes is a smiley hunk who essentially wears a skirt to hide his privates, which frequently does little to nothing to hide his derriere.
* In ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'', a woman (who does have a boyfriend) straight up says that Miguel O'Hara (in his suit) has the tightest ass she's ever seen. Even the ''villains'' comment on his attractiveness. For the record he's a 6'2" (that's 1.89 meters) half-Mexican with a PermaStubble, lean and muscled physique, and red eyes, and a bit of a HomeNudist.
* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' has the reputation of being "the greatest himbo to have ever worn tights" and is indeed a huge ChickMagnet. Red-headed lean hunk, and you could even argue those milky eyes give him a strange allure.

* It can be generally stated that most comic book heroes are this. Skin-tight clothing on muscled bodies? Hell yeah!

** All the male Comicbook/{{Robin}}s. You've got [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jason]], who has a dark and troubled past and a tendancy to wear leather jackets. [[ComicBook/RedRobin Tim]], the king of {{Adorkable}} with his tendency to ponder his next move and life situation in gratuitous shower scenes. Even [[JerkassWoobie Damian]] has his fangirls.
