* ''SonicTheComic'' portrayed Tails in this light for a lot of the early issues.
* Donald Pierce is a villainous version in ''Comicbook/XMen''.
* Eric O'Grady in ''Comicbook/TheAvengers''.
* DonaldDuck (who is often MilesGloriosus too), especially in DonRosa's comics.
* Rex and Pugsy in ''ComicBook/BeastsOfBurden''. Notable that Rex was a MilesGloriosus in the first story, but has gotten better. All of the characters are regularly terrified by the supernatural occurences that surround them, but these two (especially Pugsy) are the ones most likely to be visibly afraid--and yet neither will back down when their friends or their town is in danger
* Commander Blanx of the pre-Crisis ''MartianManhunter'' comics is a villainous example along the same lines as Donald Pierce. A DirtyCoward and CombatPragmatist who never fights fair--and indeed, doesn't fight at all if he can get someone else to do the dying for him--he's nevertheless very dangerous when cornered, nearly killing J'onn in one appearance and going toe-to-toe with Superman in another.
* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'' of the comic of the same name is a variation on this--instead of considering herself a coward while still being brave, she lacks in self-confidence in her super-heroing duties while still trying her darndest to be a superheroine--which, as her friends point out, generally ends up demonstrating that she's better at it than she thinks she is.
