History NiceGuy / ComicBooks

* [[{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson.]] Creator/DCComics' official position is that he's the most beloved superhero in the community (yes, even moreso than ''Superman'') and that almost any member of it would instantly drop what they were doing to help if he were in trouble. He's also been shown to get along famously with Superman even after the events of ''[[Comicbook/SupermanTruth Truth]].''

* Most incarnations of {{Franchise/Superman}}'s pal, ComicBook/JimmyOlsen.

** Tim Drake, {{Robin}} III is also a nice guy, especially in his early ComicBook/RobinSeries. He took care of his girlfriend who was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child, and is good at babysitting kids. In the new DCU, he was also called a nice guy by Wondergirl.

* Jaime Reyes' BlueBeetle is basically Spider-Man without the world crapping on him as much. Thankfully, he has (or had thanks to Flashpoint) a strong supporting cast he could play off of.

* Most incarnations of {{Franchise/Superman}}'s pal, JimmyOlsen.

* WonderWoman was designed to be an embodiment of love and peace in the GoldenAgeOfComicBooks who first tried finding peaceful solutions and reforming her enemies compared to the more aggressive methods of her male counterparts. Most incarnations since have followed suit by making her surprisingly humble and an AllLovingHero that can find compassion even for the most vile of her enemies.

* In {{Fables}}, Boy Blue is possibly the nicest character in the series, being eternally friendly, polite, hard-working and caring. However, BewareTheNiceOnes is in full effect; in his past he was a brave soldier, but [[RetiredBadass he deliberately chose to be a boring office clerk]] because he simply didn't like adventure and fighting. When circumstances demand his return to action, however, he reminds everyone just what he can do, and even when he's not in action he's not afraid to call people out if they're behaving stupidly. The problems of the NiceGuy character in a romance arc actually get discussed in-story; Rose Red was definitely attracted to him after his adventures, but the attraction wanes when she realises he doesn't actually want to be an exciting person and was quite content to be an unpretentious nice guy, [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys which didn't mesh well with her own preferences for danger and excitement]].

* Mighty the Armadillo from [[ArchieSonicTheHedgehog Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic]]. Unlike most beings on Mobius, Mighty is so damn strong that nothing really poses a threat to him. Mighty uses this strength to benefit those that are weaker, including his less-brave friend Mighty the Squirrel and his long-lost sister Matilda. The only time that Mighty loses it is when he perceives harm as having come to his friends.

* The Gentleman from ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' is completely and unflappably polite, no matter how dire the situation -- after rescuing a news helicopter that [[WhatAnIdiot endangered itself by flying into a battle against a storm elemental,]] he simply smiled to the crew and politely suggested that they might want to get to safety and not endanger any of the bystanders on the streets below.

* [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] is this in most incarnations, despite a fairly rough childhood. Billy Batson is usually a really sweet guy, often remarked by other characters as being polite, friendly, kind and 'sunny'. And despite being able to turn into a superpowered demi-god, he is just as polite, friendly and kind as Captain Marvel. The Nu-52 version of Billy averts this hard, being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold , with said heart being buried waaaaay down beneath a whole lot of jerk.

* Kim Pine from ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' may be a bitter DeadpanSnarker GrumpyBear, but also a true friend of Scott, helping him with Sex Bob-Omb, despite things like [[spoiler: being dumped by him in a pretty dickish way]] and, in volume 5, she demonstrates her friendship with him [[spoiler: faking an SMS from Ramona, ignoring her own feelings towards him, in order to give Scott support in his fight against the two exes]] she also offers him her house (and her own bed) when Scott is homeless, helps him with his depression over [[spoiler: Ramona's disappearance]] and even [[spoiler: kisses him a last time before his fight with Gideon]].

* Jaime Reyes' BlueBeetle is basically Spider-Man without the world crapping on him as much. Thankfully, he has (or had thanks to flashpoint) a strong supporting cast he could play off of.
* And of Course, the Flash. No matter which one, The Flash will be this. Golden Age Jay Garrick, Silver Age Barry Allen, Bronze Age Wally West (though he bounced between this, JerkWithAHeartOfGold and ChivalrousPervert), DorkAge Bart Allen, all of them are consistently great guys who can and will become the best friend and surrogate brother of anyone they're with.

* This is explicitly stated multiple times to be the reason why the Gaulish villagers keep DreadfulMusician Cacofonix around at all, despite him being a pretentious, delusional nuisance otherwise. Once you get past how GiftedlyBad he is and his [[SmallNameBigEgo complete inability to recognise it]], he's shown to be among the most caring, thoughtful and reasonable of the townspeople, although that [[BarbarianTribeisn't really]] [[NominalHero saying much]].

* Major Mapleleaf from ''AlphaFlight'', as befits a super-Mountie.

* Klara Prast of the {{Runaways}}. She's perhaps the only member of the team with absolutely no DeadpanSnarker traits, and is usually far less inclined towards violence than her teammates. Of course, as an immigrant from the early 1900s who was brought into the present, she can sometimes be an InnocentRacist. Also, God help anyone who threatens her - her plant friends can get ''very'' protective...

* The squeaky clean ''{{Franchise//Tintin}}'' is this, [[{{Foil}} in contrast]] to the brash, [[TheAlcoholic drunken]], and loud-mouthed [[BadButt Captain Haddock]].

* Most incarnations of Comicbook/{{Superman}}'s pal, JimmyOlsen.

* GreenLantern Hal Jordan's younger brother, Jim Jordan.
* [[Comicbook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]. The fact that he's so nice is part of the reason his [[{{Woobie}} Woobiness]] is so pronounced in light of his [[DeusAngstMachina crappy life]] and the [[HeroWithBadPublicity irrational hatred]] [[UngratefulBastard he gets from those he helps.]]

* CaptainAmerica. Pretty much ''anyone'' can (and do, on many occasions) soliloquize about how much everyone adores the shit out of Cap, and never feel like they're laying it on too thick or being out of character; which is something that can't be done to many other characters without it tasting of a CreatorsPet. In the MarvelCinematicUniverse, being a Nice Guy is actually the only reason the SuperSerum even ''worked'' - When it was given to a megalomaniac, it created the RedSkull. ColonelBadass [[TommyLeeJones Chester Phillips]] wanted to give it to a "[[BloodKnight Strong, Fast, Obedient Soldier]], and sixty years later we get to see [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk the results of THAT.]] Only a Good Man could become Captain America.
* The squeaky clean ''{{Tintin}}'' is this, [[{{Foil}} in contrast]] to the brash, [[TheAlcoholic drunken]], and loud-mouthed [[BadButt Captain Haddock]].
* Mr. Tawky Tawny in the ''{{Shazam}}'' franchise sometimes causes a scare for being a humanoid tiger, anyone who takes the time to know about him will realize that he is a perfect gentleman and a wonderful person to know.
