* Scott Pilgrim from ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' is ultimately one.

* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Pretty much ''anyone'' can (and do, on many occasions) soliloquize about how much everyone adores the shit out of Cap, and never feel like they're laying it on too thick or being out of character; which is something that can't be done to many other characters without it tasting of a CreatorsPet. In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, being a Nice Guy is actually the only reason the SuperSerum even ''worked'' - When it was given to a megalomaniac, it created the ComicBook/RedSkull. ColonelBadass [[Creator/TommyLeeJones Chester Phillips]] wanted to give it to a "[[BloodKnight Strong, Fast, Obedient Soldier]]", and sixty years later we get to see [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk the results of THAT.]] Only a Good Man could become Captain America.

* Major Mapleleaf from ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'', as befits a super-Mountie.
* Jaime Reyes' ComicBook/BlueBeetle is basically Spider-Man without the world crapping on him as much. Thankfully, he has a strong supporting cast he could play off of.
* And of course, Franchise/TheFlash. No matter which one, The Flash will be this. Golden Age Jay Garrick, Silver Age Barry Allen, Bronze Age Wally West (though he bounced between this, JerkWithAHeartOfGold and ChivalrousPervert), DorkAge Bart Allen, all of them are consistently great guys who can and will become the best friend and surrogate brother of anyone they're with.

* [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] is this in most incarnations, despite a fairly rough childhood. Billy Batson is usually a really sweet guy, often remarked on by other characters as being polite, friendly, kind and 'sunny'. And despite being able to turn into a superpowered demi-god, he is just as polite, friendly and kind as Captain Marvel. The Nu-52 version of Billy averts this, being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, with said heart being buried waaaaay down beneath a whole lot of jerk.

Also, God help anyone who threatens her - her plant friends can get ''very'' protective...

* Hollis Mason, in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', doubles as the OnlySaneMan. He's humble, friendly, and took up his career because he wanted to be a superhero. About the only thing he did in the story that could even count as ''mean'' was calling out a few people in his autobiography, and even then, the only person who really got it was [[PsychoForHire The Comedian]].
* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', Boy Blue is possibly the nicest character in the series, being eternally friendly, polite, hard-working and caring. However, BewareTheNiceOnes is in full effect; in his past he was a brave soldier, but [[RetiredBadass he deliberately chose to be a boring office clerk]] because he simply didn't like adventure and fighting. When circumstances demand his return to action, however, he reminds everyone just what he can do, and even when he's not in action he's not afraid to call people out if they're behaving stupidly. The problems of the NiceGuy character in a romance arc actually get discussed in-story; Rose Red was definitely attracted to him after his adventures, but the attraction wanes when she realises he doesn't actually want to be an exciting person and was quite content to be an unpretentious nice guy, [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys which didn't mesh well with her own preferences for danger and excitement]].
** The Frog Prince Ambrose is another example, though in a slightly different way; Ambrose at first gave off the DumbIsGood vibe, while Blue's intelligence, courage and skill were known quite early on in the series, making his niceness more of a deliberate choice. However, it's later discovered that Ambrose takes it all the way up to IncorruptiblePurePureness levels, [[spoiler: and the MessianicArchetype powers he later gets are dependent on him maintaining this]]. He is best friends with Boy Blue, who points out that Ambrose was the ''only'' fable who had absolutely no crimes to be absolved of under the amnesty.

It suits him well.

* Rarest of rare in {{ComicBook/Monstress}}'s world, but there is one: [[spoiler:Rezak]]. He risks his life to save an Arcanic child, is friends with a high-up Cumaea member, and when Maika is pushed into him by a Cumaea after being bought, his first instinct is to hug her. Whether he'll remain nice in this Crapsack World remains to be seen, but he's doing a pretty good job of it so far.

* In {{ComicBook/Fables}}, Boy Blue is possibly the nicest character in the series, being eternally friendly, polite, hard-working and caring. However, BewareTheNiceOnes is in full effect; in his past he was a brave soldier, but [[RetiredBadass he deliberately chose to be a boring office clerk]] because he simply didn't like adventure and fighting. When circumstances demand his return to action, however, he reminds everyone just what he can do, and even when he's not in action he's not afraid to call people out if they're behaving stupidly. The problems of the NiceGuy character in a romance arc actually get discussed in-story; Rose Red was definitely attracted to him after his adventures, but the attraction wanes when she realises he doesn't actually want to be an exciting person and was quite content to be an unpretentious nice guy, [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys which didn't mesh well with her own preferences for danger and excitement]].

Mighty uses this strength to benefit those that are weaker, including his less-brave friend Ray the Squirrel and his long-lost sister Matilda. The only time that Mighty loses it is when he perceives harm as having come to his friends.
