* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Shadow has had his own reputation ruined by [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog his own self-titled game]]. In his debut in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Shadow's personality was not too different from Sonic's; while he conducted himself more seriously, he shared Sonic's cocky and confident attitude and saw him as a respectable WorthyOpponent. Shadow's game however marketed him as a NinetiesAntiHero who swears and uses firearms and suddenly [[TookALevelInJerkass he's far less friendly to Sonic]] (and in some endings, [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou desires to defeat him to prove his superiority]]). Despite his character reverting to ''Adventure 2'' levels in the aforementioned ''Sonic 06'', it didn't stick and Shadow has since been labelled a moody, angsty, and brooding "edgelord" and [[VideoGame/SonicBoom later]] [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW adaptations]] usually adopted that personality onto him, long after ''Shadow the Hedgehog'' released.

* Patroklos gets hit with this hard in ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur V]]''. No matter how much CharacterDevelopment you go through, when your first major onscreen action is to brutally murder an innocent on the ''suspicion'' of being Malfested, all with [[SlasherSmile a deranged, psychotic grin on your face]], people tend to hold that against you.
