* In ''Big Bang Comics'', Franchise/{{Batman}} CaptainErsatz the Knight Watchman makes a living as a famous women's fashion designer. And on top of that, he lives with his grandmother. The Golden Age version added a yellow background to his insignia to make it look friendlier, too.

* From Adam Warren's ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'', there's the goddamn Maidman, who's badass enough to fight crime wearing a maid's costume and stiletto heels. Imagine Batman in drag, and [[TheDreaded just as feared and revered]]. That's what you're dealing with here. Also very serious about his laundry. Because bleach doesn't get out bloodstains.

* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': Kyle Rayner. Like all Green Lanterns, he fights cosmic threats, but unlike most (who lack fear), he was chosen because he can overcome it (facing fears everyday.) He is an artist, something reflected in his powers. Based on some of his constructs, the guy reads a lot of Shojou. Nonetheless, he is still a Green Lantern (at one point, the only one) and was once the container of the embodiment of willpower.

** Although it's possible that it only affects alternate Wolvies, ''Comicbook/{{Exiles}}'' stated he also likes karaoke and doesn't talk about it. And also in the series, Morph mentions that Mimic knows too much about figure skating than any male superhero should.

* According to ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHercules'', real god-like heroes should wear skirts. [[FridgeLogic But read about Omphale in the Mythology tab on the main page]]...

** And in the [[Comicbook/TheAuthority same universe]], Midnighter: the leatherclad, nigh-unbeatable, Majestic-level superhero with a penchant for {{slasher smile}}s and gleeful dismemberment, and probably the most [[AntiHero roundly feared]] of all the Wildstorm protagonists. Also, openly gay and fond of experimenting with his hair.

* ''Comicbook/TheMightyThor'' always reads florist magazines while waiting for the local tailor to repair his cape. Of course, his wife Sif is an earth goddess -- she probably got her husband involved in her interests.

* Sgt. Fluffy, Agent of S.C.H.M.U.C.K., from ''Comicbook/{{normalman}}''. In his own words, a "heart-poundin', front-facin'" uber patriot and super action hero (he leaves out the part where he's a violent lunatic, but whatever), wears ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' style red sequined pumps throughout the series.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' pretty much gets away with his garish primary-colored costume because he's...well...Superman. Insulting him for not having a badass gritty costume like Batman's that would just make you look like an idiot.

* Hulking cyborg soldier Matt [=McCoy=] in the ''Comicbook/StreetFighter'' comics from UDON enjoys gourmet cooking and playing acoustic guitar in his spare time. His commander, Colonel Wolfman, is a [[GoodScarsEvilScars scarred]] badass who wears a one-piece legless leotard and has ''fabulous'' hair.
* ''ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}}'': The man has beaten Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, Franchise/SpiderMan, Comicbook/IronMan, and many others by copying their move-sets and sheer trickery, dual-wields pistols and weaponry on a daily basis, and wears a (fake) skull as a mask. He enjoys the Music/SpiceGirls. That is all.

* During the time when Franchise/WonderWoman served as Themyscira's ambassador in the U.S. she employed a gourmet chef named Ferdinand. Who is also a heavily muscled seven-foot minotaur (or "kithotaur", being from the island of Kithira).
