- Reggie Mantle from Archie Comics sometimes falls into this category. Some stories portray him as hating the holiday season because the Christmas spirit interferes with his natural desire to be rotten, while others portray him as actively taking precautions to make sure the victims of his pranks are only humiliated, without actually being hurt.
- Gemini Storm. The heroine helps keep down the plague of monsters by viciously killing them and enjoying every minute of it.
- Grimjack aka John Gaunt. His code of "Always Seek The Truth" can (and often does) hurt his friends, family, clients, random people on the street, etc.
- In Holy Terror, the Fixer shows no compassion at all to any of the terrorists, shooting them, breaking their spines and blowing them up.
- Mr. Majestic is what you get when an alien warlord tries his hand at superheroing. While his intentions are mostly benevolent, he is not above imprisoning criminals without a trial or, in one instance, unilaterally re-arranging the entire solar system in pursuit of his goals.
- Red Sonja is (usually, Depending on the Writer) known in-universe for kicking ass first and asking questions never. Anyone who offends her or violates her code gets a Badass Boast and one chance to apologize and leave. Those who fail to do so are almost universally killed. Corrupt leaders often don't even get that chance because Sonja knows their crimes by the time she's in their presence.
- The British-published Sonic the Comic by Fleetway paints the eponymous hedgehog as such. He's a hero and saves the day constantly, but if you're one of his allies? Expect to be belittled, verbally abused, and made to cater to his ego.
- The IDW version of Transformers:
- Prowl gets this treatment a lot here. He's an arrogant prick, a Manipulative Bastard, comes off as cold and unfeeling, seems to treat even people he professes to like as tools more than as comrades or friends, and sometimes does some morally-questionable things in the name of getting things done... but in the end of it all he's without a doubt a loyal Autobot dedicated to defeating the Decepticons, protecting the innocent, and reaching for the greater good overall.
- Several Autobots come off this way in the course of the IDW run of comics. Repugnus is underhanded, ruthless, argumentative, and more than willing to resort to violence, but he's an Autobot all the same - just one who does jobs that those with more delicate morals could barely consider.
- The Wreckers by and large consist of violent diehards, mental jobs, or trouble cases with an appallingly high body count and casualty count, but they go after the most dangerous of foes that no normal Autobot team could hope to match. In particular, Wreckers leader Impactor coldly executes the entirety of Squadron X after their capture on a neutral world on the basis that the threat posed by a crack team of ten Decepticons outweighed the political technicalities that required the Wreckers to release their foes.
- The Transformers (Marvel):
- The Dinobots. They're a rag-tag bunch of jerks who don't really like anyone, and occasionally go off to do their own thing. None of them like Optimus. But they like Megatron and his lot even less.
- The Wreckers probably count. Their first appearance involves them planning to lure several prominent Decepticons into a trap and kill them in any way they can, including harpoons or hammers to the head.
