* [[Characters/DCAUTerryMcGinnis Terry McGinnis]] from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' is far kinder than his mentor, but while he ''is'' Batman and like Bruce will not actively kill, unlike Bruce, he won't [[SaveTheVillain save villains]] [[SelfDisposingVillain from their own fate]].
-->'''Mook''': I like to watch the crocodiles eat 'em. It's fascinating.\\
''Terry fights them off, the same mook going into the water with them.''\\
'''Terry''': You're right. [[IronicEcho It is fascinating]]. ''(ScreamDiscretionShot)''

* Lion-O from ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' would seem to be soft compared to other Cats, since he is the only one willing to try and convince his enemies to stand down and show them kindness. However, this kindness does not extend to their bosses, such as when he defeats the king of the rats Ratar-O without hesitation. He also doesn't let his compassion get in the way when innocent lives are at stake, such as blowing several Lizard fighters out of the sky in the season finale.
* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', [[TheDragon Psimon]] assumes that because [[SuperpowerLottery M'gann]] is a cheerful, friendly NaiveNewcomer, she'll fall apart with a BreakingSpeech and a selection of her worst fears. It works for about a minute. [[MindRape Then she gets PISSED]]. (Something which [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becomes a bit too common]] after the TimeSkip, to the point that the much gruffer GoodIsNotNice hero Superboy calls WhatTheHellHero.)
-->'''Psimon:''' [[OhCrap Now now, my pretty. I know you don't want to do anything you'll regret]].\\
'''Miss Martian:''' You don't know me AT ALL!

** In the G1 cartoon, during a flashback to his first meeting with Megatron and being rebuilt into Optimus, there is a scene where he just blasts holes into 'con after 'con after 'con. In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'', Optimus literally runs over one Decepticon and blasts several others before he confronts Megatron.

*** [[Characters/GravityFallsMabelPines Mabel Pines]] tries to see the best in people and treat everyone nicely regardless of how they treat her (i.e., continuously being amiable to [[AlphaBitch Pacifica]] even when the latter was a complete snob to her), but when her [[BewareTheNiceOnes buttons are sufficiently pushed]], she's downright scary. For example, in "The Last Mabelcorn", she's been manipulated and tricked by a rotten unicorn who then rubs it in Mabel's face--and is shocked when Mabel responds by punching her in the snout and instigating a fight. Mabel also [[BigSisterInstinct goes into attack mode]] when she sees [[EnfanteTerrible Gideon]] hurting her brother.
*** [[Characters/GravityFallsDipperPines Dipper Pines]], despite being compassionate and friendly, is more cynical and has significantly less tolerance for bad behavior. He also has no reservations about treating antagonistic people accordingly. Before Pacifica TookALevelInKindness, he had no qualms about springing the knowledge that her ancestor is a fraud on her, and gladly rubbing it in her face. In another episode, he insinuates that Robbie's {{Jerkass}} personality makes him deserving of being in complete agony.

** Wendy, for sure. She's a NiceGirl, but mistreat her, or her friends and all bets are off. When a shapeshifter deceives she, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos, she states, "He took us into his home, tricked us, and tried to destroy us. I say we return the favor," right before devising a plan to do so.
