- Ron the Death Eater is when a character is either Flanderized into a Jerkass or more into more of a Jerkass than they were in canon.
- In Three Strikes while there are still the ones from canon, namely McKinsey and to a lesser extent Bandog, who's really a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, 'Three Strikes' introduces the leader of the radical faction in Erusea, General Parrish, who rails on anyone that doesn’t agree with him, including Princess Rosa. Perrault is also around, now a general, and seemingly still just as much of an ass as he was in the Circum-Pacific War.
- Boris Small from Kedabory's Elmore Chronicles, who refused to come to the hospital to help his estranged sibling Sybil, who was suffering from an illness. Once he learns of Sybil's involvement in the problem, he is openly hostile in denying Gumball and Darwin help, and rudely hushes his own daughter Sophie, who is curious about finally meeting her long-lost relative.
- Masher from Vault Hunters Wanted is this trope. Misogynist, racist, and a Serial Rapist to boot, his only redeeming quality is that he takes care of his younger brother Nicholas with the prize money he gets. Even that does not justify the things he did to Aurai, though he himself does not seek redemption at all.
Crossover
- The Many Dates of Danny Fenton:
- Dash Baxter remains the unpleasant bully he always is. First, he takes his frustrations with his Summer Vacation being ruined out on Danny, then the next day he's hitting on Danny's date while getting them kicked out of the Hockey game. Later, he and his fellow jocks try to harass him during another date and the day after he and the A-list pester him on another. Each girl he was with at the time end up sharing Danny's dislike of Dash a result.
- Unsurprisingly, Vicky.
- A Shadow of the Titans (Jackie Chan Adventures and Teen Titans): Suzano is unnecessarily rude towards everyone. At first his hatred towards Jade seems to be pure Fantastic Racism towards her part Oni nature, as he is part Japanese god, but as he is later shown on a team with what appears to be a demon and a ghost, it seems more likely he just uses Fantastic Racism as an excuse to let out his Jerkass tendencies.
- A Triangle in the Stars (Gravity Falls & Steven Universe): Bill, and to a much lesser extent, Lars, takes this title. He makes Lars's attitude seem like a "failed bully", at worst. Bill slowly mellows out into a relatively Nice Guy though.
- Duke, Dodger's estranged father in Dodger And Company. He is a giant bully to his mate Annie, and only sees her as good for bringing him food and for sex, one of these encounters resulting in her getting pregnant with Dodger, who she is forced abandon to protect him from his father. Later on in the story, a now grown-up Dodger meets Duke, and he tries to paint Annie as a lying martyr, who blames everybody else for her problems, even though he is a large part of why she suffered so much.
- Quite a few of Prince Hans' brothers in Frozen Hearts (Sakume):
- Harald, captain of the guard, has two of his men dismissed over how they treated Hans, and retaliates by beating him up.
- Harken has, on at least one occasion, whipped a man so severely he died from it soon afterward. He also plans on whipping Hans, his brother with a cat of nine tails that has shards of glass in it, and is largely motivated by a desire to save face.
- Hugo is quite lecherous and dismissive of Hans. He and the two aforementioned brothers were said to take part in the game of pretending Hans was invisible, and it's mentioned that, for that reason, "if Hans had been more specific with Princess Anna, he'd have told her how much he hated Hugo".
- In fact, this is quite often the starting point in many Hans redemption fics such as Warm Hugs
and The Phoenix and the Snowbird, based on a rumor that he will be redeemed in Frozen II. Owing to the fact that he was ignored and neglected by his own abusive family, he initially starts off as a grouchy man who derisively thinks of love as a childish and idiotic fantasy, and is sent to Arendelle as an unpaid servant as punishment for attempting to seize control of Arendelle. Through Character Development, he realizes that Love Redeems, how his self-hatred warped his mind and made him an enemy of the heroes, and that there's more to life than just being power-hungry. Sometimes, the heroes (Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf) even call him out on his cynical beliefs about love and/or ask where it got him, to which Hans either tries to dodge their question or makes a lame I Did What I Had to Do excuse. Also in many of these fanfics, he even genuinely falls for Elsa.
- In fact, this is quite often the starting point in many Hans redemption fics such as Warm Hugs
- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon):
- One of Alan Jonah's Mooks, Guard B-04, is a crass, immature dipshit who viciously heckles Vivienne Graham and even fires a bullet at her for no other reason than his own amusement. It says a lot that even Jonah gets vexed at his behavior, and there are certainly no tears shed for him when he suffers a Cruel and Unusual Death.
- Username HumanityHellYeah is an Internet Jerk in the Monster X news forums who calls Monarch "egghead retards" and gets several other commenters irate by calling Monster X an "Uncanny Valley Alien Lizard Person Freak" and repeatedly whining that it's going to kill everyone. It's quite satisfying when an administrator finaly gets a good excuse to ban HumanityHellYeah.
- Lung from Queen of All Oni (by the same author as A Shadow of the Titans), comes across as this, crossing the Moral Event Horizon in his first real appearance by kidnapping Jade and nearly KILLING her with Cold-Blooded Torture in an attempt to break her to his will, even blaming her when it fails! (In fact, his backstory reveals that when he was a child, he hid rocks and sticks around the neighborhood to beat the other kids up with). One reviewer even PRAISED him being Killed Off for Real by Right.
- The Vow: Lianne's father, Lord Chang, is a dick to put it mildly, and scarcely shows any of the basic courtesy that's to be expected of a noble. He disdains Shen as a "freak" for his abnormal appearance and he makes it clear upon their very first meeting that he dislikes his possible future son-in-law. As for his interactions with his daughter, he's practically a Jerks Are Worse Than Villains mirror image of Tywin Freaking Lannister. He's not without his redeeming qualities, although they only become apparent after he's endured a decades-long near-total estrangement from his daughter due to his behavior which only ends once he's on his death-bed from a stroke.
- In Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race, Miss T is the most coldhearted of the Conduit's associates, and antagonizes Tiesel frequently. She also threatens to kill her other teammates should they make mistakes.
- Entropy: The Fate of the Hero System: Mei Hatsume. Unlike her canon depiction where she is a well-meaning if socially-inept inventor, here, her negative traits are taken to their logical conclusion: she invents solely for the sake of inventing, changing the parameters of a support request on a whim simply because she wants to work with a different technology. This even extends to asking Melissa Shield about the Quirk Enhancer, the MacGuffin of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, despite the fact that the events of Two Heroes are the reason Melissa was ostracized and was at UA in the first place. NotBurgerKing has stated they deliberately wrote Mei like this due to considering her canon personality to just be fanon flanderization, and claims Mei is The Sociopath on par with Kyudai Garaki.
- Equestria: A History Revealed: The Lemony Narrator definitely qualifies, often insulting the reader while bragging about her own high intelligence, making jokes at the expense of other races, and bashing Celestia whenever she can. But it's all Played for Laughs, given how it's done in such an obvious manner.
- Living The Dream:
- Greg has done numerous awful actions during his stay in Equestria. He loves spiking drinks with alcohol or other substances without the consent of others. He often injures towards those around him for his amusement, and gets annoyed when told to stop. He's even responsible for both child labor and sexual misconduct of said children. Why anyone tolerates him is a mystery.
- Seth is always seen abusing Zorrow. For example, He and Greg threw Zorrow down a flight of stairs, out a window, and rolled him down a hill towards the person who broke all his bones. Zorrow is in a full body cast when this happens.
- Annabel's defining characteristic is pranking people. To be more specific, her pranks always involve her victims being sexually assaulted one way or another.
- Junior Officers:
- Melvin, a boy who Deborah went to school with, was a sexist dick who treated her and her friend Donna poorly. It's mentioned in passing that he attempted to grope Donna's rear, but was stopped by another boy before he had the chance.
- The previous captain before Barnacles, Captain Seacliff, was a Bad Boss who treated his staff terribly upon his promotion to captain. He is the only known Octonaut to have been fired, with Professor Inkling explaining it was because he assaulted a junior officer.
- The most well-developed jerkass character is Deborah's father Humphrey. Deborah and her sister Margaret were frequent victims to Humphrey's verbal abuse as children, which includes several instances of him Slut-Shaming them when they were still minors. He is also known to be racist against other non-deer-like species, as demonstrated when he met Deborah's sea otter boyfriend.
- Ma Fille
- Dingo Bone, a boxer from Glass Joe's early days as a boxer, who was hot-tempered, rude, and occasionally violent outside the ring.
- When Katrina was in elementary school, she was best friends with a girl named Claire. However, as they grew older, Claire's sense of humour became more abrasive, her temper and tolerance of others shortened, and by late middle school, she had outright become Katrina's bully. Her girl gang, consisting of Veronica, Sasha, and later Mia, are no better, with Veronica being outright violent.
- Agent South Dakota from Stress Relief is unquestionably this trope. She belittles the opinions of others even when they're right, tends to get into violent confrontation with others over petty slights, regularly and violently molests Agent Connecticut just as a way of calming herself down, and tries to pin her own failures on others to avoid responsibility. She is worse than her canon counterpart. (At the very least, she wasn't a rapist in canon.)
- Mercury Black's parents from The Black Hearts fit the quite well. Even one of the tags for the story says, "Merc’s parents are assholes." Not only are they both abusive, they never even have any Faux Affably Evil qualities like the other villains of The Makings of Team CRME.
- Also, from An Emerald Unearthed, Randall Silva. He was already a ruthless Loan Shark who kills people’s loved ones to make sure they pay up, but his jovial attitude about it only makes him look more like an unapologetic douche.
- Mercury is just as much an asshole in Ruby and Nora as he is in canon.
- SCP – Containment Breach: In the video game, Agent Ulgrin is a condescending jackass who will kill the player character if they disobey.
- In A Sword to Pass, Morrok is an outright asshole to Sabine. Seeing her as a traitor and if she wasn’t Ursa’s daughter she would have been executed. Sadly, this has an impact on Sabine’s self-esteem as she has had such thoughts in the back of her mind.
- Charles Manson Vs The Teletubbies: Charles Manson. Even the fic joins in on calling him one.Charles walked over to them, and stole their tubby custard like a compete asshole.
- In the Warhammer 40,000 fanfic series Secret War there are many assholes, as is fitting for the Grim Dark setting, some sadistic psychopaths, some cold conquering sociopaths, but the Rogue Trader Taryst takes the case for doing one of the pettiest and most egregious abuses of power in the continuity so far having his powerful Beta-Level psyker erase his ex-boyfriend Jeurat Garrakson's memory, just so he can keep the password to the entrance to his escape room, and what was that password? jgarrakson.
- Hecate: Yami and Yugi bitterly discuss how even after being subjected to a shadow game, Kaiba was still callous enough to ignore the people getting hurt in this tournament in favor of personal glory.
Unsorted
- Total Drama: Battle of the Generations: Amy, as per canon. Especially towards her sister.
- With Strings Attached has a lot of these: Terdan, As'taris (almost all Baravadans, actually), the Hunter (though he undergoes Character Development), and most especially Jeft. Also, the Dalns gods are Jerkass Gods, though this is only talked about, not depicted.
- You don't want to know how many Jerkasses now inhabit C'hou in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. It's basically become a World of Jerkass.
- In the Katawa Shoujo fic Lilly Epilogue: Family Matters, Lilly's father is this, even apart from the canonical Parental Abandonment inflicted on Lilly and Akira for six years. He is incredibly condescending to Hisao and Hanako, referring to them impersonally and making fun of their disabilities. In Hanako's case, he mocks her timidity and asks if she got her burn scars from catching the oven on fire; considering he was warned in advance and the real reason she got them, this is a borderline Moral Event Horizon. He does apologize to Lilly and accept Hisao in the end, though.
- In Project Ignition... Adler- a selfish, arrogant... well, Jerkass. He'd be an outright villain if it weren't for his childhood friend, Selene (well, that and it's kind of hard to be a human villain when there's BETA around).
- In the Saki doujin Captain Half'', Mihoko splits into two people in an attempt to cook for 80 people. Her counterpart is extremely mean, verbally and even physically abusing her teammates. When the coach barges in and complains about the other Mihoko "copying" her, the other Mihoko gives the coach a Death Glare that stops her in her tracks.
- The Prayer Warriors are by and large not nice people, especially since they're willing to kill anyone who refuses to convert or who engages in behavior they disapprove of, including former friends. However, among them, Michael stands out, since he's fairly rude and short-tempered compared to the others.Michael: (after Ebony asks to baptize Hermione) "I will do it women. Do not try and disturb a sacred ritual. I do not want you to ruin it." (Baptizes Hermione) "No go. I don't think you deserve it. I think you are lying. But because Ebony trusts you, I will give you another chance. Now go satanic bitch."
- Fluttershy of all ponies, is portrayed this way prior to converting to Christianity in "The Prayer Ponies," being shown as an abrasive loner with no interest in talking with others.
- The Wolverine and the X-Men (2009) fanfic Wolverine and the X-Men: Season 2 has a few. Some are villains, others are just really cruel.
- Omega Red is introduced taunting his prison warden Althukov about his military past, rubbing in the fact that he and the heads of the Russian government are not so different, at least from his point of view. Flashbacks show that he casually committed Unfriendly Fire during his first confrontation with Weapon X by possibly killing several civilians, just before the narrative returns to the present and he escapes during a prison transfer. Before escaping, he cements himself as this by interrogating his warden and rubbing in the fact that his commanding officer made him shoot a deserting friend during the war in Afghanistan (which got Althukov dishonourably discharged and exiled to Siberia for most of his life) before draining him of his life force and leaving him for dead. It's implied that he was somehow involved in Althukov's punishment due to his time in the KGB, to boot.
- Riptide is an unrepentant Blood Knight and torture technician that takes pleasure from watching Ilyana Rasputin being experimented on, later delighting in trying to stab Maverick with his swords.
- The unnamed guards in the Pens behave in a rather brutal way, stunning Charles Xavier when he asks for information as to where he is and then destroying his nutrition bar, which is the only food he gets throughout the whole day.
- The television pundit Stephen E. Garside is not a villain, but stands out as a textbook case of Fantastic Racism with a television show. While he raises a valid point about the threats mutant extremists pose, he is completely unsympathetic when the newly formed Human High Council begin rounding up any mutants shown using their power, even if the power is harmless and the mutant in question is trying to fit in. He deems this to be "progress".
- The Clockwork Consequence has Trixie, who in her very first appearance makes some rather bigoted remarks towards earth ponies. When her fellow Co-Dragon Applejack overhears this, she is NOT amused, and they would've fought if Pinkie hadn't broken them up.
- In Erika Change, a Girls und Panzer doujin in which Erika, not Miho, transfers to Oarai, Erika is at least as much of a jerk as in canon, particularly when she plans on slapping Rabbit Team for running away from the battle with St. Gloriana (even though Erika's stubborn refusal to adapt to the situation and change their plan doomed the team). Much of the comedy comes from how different Erika is from Miho.
- Cool Cat and the Beauty of War and Destructionnote : The reader. When they're told their grandfather might die, they reply with "POGGERS". Moon Man and Patrick Bateman also count, the latter being an Abusive Dad to Butch.
