Except they're not. And when a situation comes up where they prove it, nobody is more surprised than they are. That's right. You're actually a good guy.

* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'': When Omni-man outed himself as an elite warrior of a race of ScaryDogmaticAliens who came to Earth to conquer it and killed thousands of humans while mocking them as insignificant and weak, he ultimately decided to abandon his post when he realized he couldn't bring himself to kill [[TheHero his own son]]. When he sees Invincible again, he's been made Emperor of the (willing) Thraxans who are even more inferior to Viltrumites than humans after having spent a long time drifting through space while actively suicidal over what happened back then. When the Viltrumites come to seek retribution against Nolan for betraying the Empire and he sees the Thraxans being massacred, he becomes mortified that he's upset about their deaths and has this exchange with Invincible:
-->'''Omni-man:''' Why... Why do I care about them? They were weak. Barely a species. They shouldn't matter to me.
-->'''Invincible:''' That doesn't mean they should die.
-->'''Omni-man:''' You don't understand! I'm not supposed to feel this way! HOW IS ''THIS'' BETTER?!
-->'''Invincible:''' This is how you should've felt on Earth.
-->'''Omni-man:''' ''Has Face Realization''

** Downplayed in the original novel as he essentially becomes The Bad in TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil for a while, before making a deal with the protagonists. He's still an awful person though, and ends up stealing a chest of loot and running away after they've escaped the island
** Some child-friendly adaptations have Long-John
eventually turning on the rest of the pirate crew.crew and becoming a good guy, [[ReformedButNotTamed if not always a great guy]].
** Zig-Zagged in Film/MuppetTreasureIsland as Long-John only turns on his crew long enough to let Jim escape. He weasels his way out of a Black Spot and remains the main villain. After being defeated he manages to escape from the ship with a chest full of gold, after Jim decides to look the other way as long as Silver never contacts him again. (LaserGuidedKarma does the rest, thanks to a leaky lifeboat)
