* [[Characters/HellblazerJohnConstantine John Constantine]] has gotten an inordinate amount of this in various adaptations his character (or expies of his character) have appeared in. In the ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' comics (especially when written by Jamie Delano or Creator/AlanMoore) John is a {{Jerkass}} NominalHero who, while still a BlueCollarWarlock, is also a grifter and TheFriendNobodyLikes who is usually only ever motivated into action, if he's in danger, being blackmailed, he feels like a challenge, or he sees some material gain to be had. ''Film/Constantine2005'', ''Series/Constantine2014'', ''WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse'', ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' and ''Series/TheSandman2022'' all make Constantine a nicer and more traditionally heroic character who is at worst a Han Solo-esque JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Notably Constantine in most adaptations doesn't ask to be paid for his work and seeks out supernatural threats, unlike the comics where he always demands money and often waits for people with demonic troubles to come knocking. Though in fairness to adaptations, DC has gradually made Constantine a LighterAndSofter character over time.

* In the [[ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}} original continuity]], it's revealed that a drunk Thomas Constantine tried to force his wife into a late-term abortion, resulting in his wife and John's unborn twin to die from complications. In ''ComicBook/HellblazerRiseAndFall'', the story starts with Mary dying just after giving birth to John with no hint that it was for any reason other than a difficult birth.

** [[Characters/HellblazerJohnConstantine John Constantine]] is portrayed differently from the usually smarmy, cynical, self-centered, chain-smoking, alcoholic con-man with a low opinion of superheroes and a habit of pushing people away in the comics. Here, he's much nicer, as he's depicted as a deadpan, wise-cracking sorcerer and paranormal investigator with a much friendlier but still smarmy personality, and he's also a member of the Justice League.
