History MrFanservice / ComicBooks

* [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Dick]] [[{{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]].

* Most, if not all of the male elves in ''{{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]].

* CaptainAmerica: [[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.

* For the [[FurryFandom furries]] out there we have ''TheAstoundingWolfMan'', who often suffers {{clothing damage}} and frequently ends up [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]].

* 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.

* In the ''{{Den}}'' series, Den and any other male human becomes this upon arrival in Neverwhere, naked, muscled and hung, albeit bald.

* ''{{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.

* [[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.

* ''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.

* [[{{Robin}} Dick]] [[{{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 [[{{Batman}} Bat-fans]].
** Hell, all the male {{Robin}}s. You've got [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jason]], who has a dark and troubled past and a tendancy to wear leather jackets. Tim, the king of {{Adorkable}}. Even [[JerkassWoobie Damian]] has his fangirls.

* Gambit of the Comicbook/{{X-Men}} is this (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).

* ''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. [[FetishFuel Or maybe not]].

* ''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 [[TheDarkness Jackie Estacado]], either... although he does have a slight impediment for estrogen fun.

* CaptainAmerica: 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.

* ''{{AsterixTheGaul}}'' gives us Tragicomix, who is blonde, handsome, and never wears a shirt so as to allow viewers to see his very nicely built chest.

* Savant, from ''{{Birds of Prey}}'', was designed to be a hot one shot villain but became popular.

* For the [[FurryFandom furries]] out there we have ''TheAstoundingWolfMan'' who often suffers {{clothing damage}} and frequently ends up [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]].

* While ''SinCity'' is mostly known for it's women, 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.
* Let's just say that Peter Parker has a nice ass.

** Hell, all the male {{Robin}}s. You've got [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jason]], who has a dark and troubled past and a tendancy to wear leather jackets. Tim, the king of {{Adorkable}}. Even [[JerkassWoobie Damian]] has his fangirls. Does the Robin suit have phermones or something?
*** And this troper can validate the notion that Mr. Grayson easilly has the best ass in the entire DC universe.
* ''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. [[FetishFuel Or maybe not]].
* ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' has Ian Nottingham. Often drawn shirtless due to fannish demand. (Not that Kenneth Irons was half bad, but spent less time half naked.) And we shouldn't forget [[TheDarkness Jackie Estacado]], either... although he does have a slight impediment for estrogen fun.

** That image -- gun, shirtless, cute hair, okay. Please tell me a purpose to that long doll thing right in front of his upper body that's '''not''' FreudWasRight.
*** It's Emp's old stuffed toy that she says suppresses bad dreams. [[spoiler:It doesn't work for [=ThugBoy=]'s.]]

* LastManStanding has the [[ForeignFanservice Italian]] boxer Vito, [[TheCasanova Ronin]], and of course, [[TheHero Gabriel]].
* The Wally West {{Flash}} in the beginning of the series.
* ''{{AsterixTheGaul}}'' gives us Tragicomix: blonde, handsome, never wears a shirt which allows viewers to see his very nicely built chest.

* ''{{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.

* Dick Grayson.

* Every major hero. Here's the proof: [[http://shirtless-superheroes.blogspot.com shirtless-superheroes.blogspot.com]]
