* ''ComicBook/{{Thorgal}}'' has a lot of ShirtlessScenes where he shows his CarpetOfVirility. In particular, he spent almost the entirety of '' City of the Lost God'' and ''The Sun-sword'' wearing just briefs.

* ComicBook/{{Gambit}} of the Comicbook/XMen 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).

** 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}}. 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 (thank you, DC artists).

** Especially in [[ComicBook/{{Grayson}} Grayson]] in which he becomes a sexy spy. Characters in-universe refer to his good looks & physique often. One recurring AntiVillian, because of perception-scrambling implants obscuring Dick's face, is able to identify him solely by his ass.

* 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 adorkableness and NiceGuy personality, the Man of Steel has been subjected to his share of ShirtlessScenes. 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.

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

* While ''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 ''[[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]]. However, John Carter stands among them due to also appearing completely naked at certain points, albeit with HandOrObjectUnderwear and BarbieDollAnatomy.

* 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.

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

* Inevitably done with SteelgripStarkey, given that he spends almost all his time wearing [[LimitedWardrobe a red short-sleeved shirt]] that shows off his muscled arms and washboard abs. Justified in that one reason he was selected was because he matched the archetype of a hard-working American hero.
