* Farmer Brown from the ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Critters" can count as a Mad Scientist, seeing as he was using microbiology to create monstrous farm animals. And he did indeed have a beautiful daughter named Emmylou. She was also his enforcer, and was ''much'' stronger than her almost petite frame would appear, being more than a match for Batgirl. (She claimed it was due to beef steroids, clearly another of her dad's experiments.)

** Mad Scientist's Beautiful Granddaughter: Susan Foreman, the first Companion of William Hartnell's Doctor. While she is his granddaughter, they have this exact relationship, and she was obviously intended to fit this trope (until the series began to GrowTheBeard and the Doctor became something much, much odder than simply the a mad scientist he was concieved as).

* ComicBook/{{X-23}} is this. Her creator, Dr. Sarah Kinney, was described as the foremost expert on mutant genetics and was hired by the Facility after her proposal to clone ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}. Despite the ethics of the project, Sarah's interest was purely ForScience, directly likening the idea of cloning a ''mutant'', when mainstream science had only ''just'' cracked cloning sheep and cats, to [[AGodAmI godhood]]. All this knowing full well that the child would be raised to be a LivingWeapon heading in. Laura herself is frequently described as Sarah's spitting-image (explained by some writers as Sarah using her own DNA to stabilize the sample taken from Wolverine), and it's made quite clear Laura is intended to be a quite beautiful young woman.

Square Peg Round Trope. Neither of the paternal figures in question are mad scientists, they are not physically ugly, they do not cloister their charges.


* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Therkla, whose relationship with her employer, Kubota, has adopted-child overtones before she falls in love with the hero, [[SpoonyBard Elan]]. Elan, however, is totally loyal to his girlfriend Hayley; Kubota [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this trope, annoyed that Therkla would turn for someone who didn't at least ''pretend'' to love her back.
** Elan himself [[PlayedWith plays with]] this trope--he's a MadDictatorsHandsomeSon, but a.) is a hero himself and b.) was already involved with Hayley before meeting his father, though Elan's divided feelings still put a slight strain on their relationship.

* In one of the ''Schaduw'' (Shadow) detective/policiers by Havank, a Dutch writer, the eponymous main character encounters the most beautiful young woman he's ever seen. As this happens in a remote castle somewhere in Normandy, she can't be anything but a MadScientist's daughter. The guy has engineered [[NightmareFuel spiders]] to be a bit bigger and powerful (the biggest eats a grown pig in a couple of seconds), but he's disappointed their brains have not kept up. But now this human brain has come walking in ... perfect. The kicker: he's named his daughter [[UnfortunateName Aranea]] (could have qualified as a MeaningfulName, but she herself tries to keep herself away from his shenanigans)

When the MadScientist is a good guy, the Daughter is not nearly so cloistered, although she is still a prime candidate as a love interest. Sometimes she ends up TheChick or TheSmartGuy in a FiveManBand when a team relies on the Scientist for their {{Phlebotinum}}. This latter version is more common nowadays.

** Vanessa Doofenshmirtz (pictured) plays with this trope in different ways. In early episodes she was outright disdainful towards her father and his experiments, generally playing the role of DeadpanSnarker. She [[CharacterDevelopment warmed up to him in later episodes]], though she remains somewhat annoyed by his exploits and his attempts to make her into a DaddysLittleVillain (though [[SelfishGoodSelfishEvil some of her actions]] hint she may head down that path anyway). She's also notably uncloistered (she only spends [[VisitByDivorcedDad alternate weekends]] with her father anyway) and keeps her relationship with [[AnimalSuperhero his]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi nemesis]] friendly but strictly platonic.
