History Main / AllLovingHero

* Franchise/TheFlash:

The EmpathicWeapon trusts them completely, as does [[FriendToAllLivingThings every animal]] and [[FriendToAllChildren child]] who immediately [[EvilDetectingDog recognize]] [[EvilDetectingBaby the good in them]] and [[LickedByTheDog take quickly to them]]. Their [[FertileFeet every step causes flowers to bloom]]. Their [[TrueCompanions circle of friends]] are in awe of them, if not somewhat [[HaremGenre in love with them]]. They'll even [[MagneticHero attract]] an AntiHero or two who will stick around so they can figure out what drugs this person is taking -- and where ''they'' can get some. In their hands, ThePowerOfLove and ThePowerOfFriendship can be an awesome force, they may be the standard-bearer for the message that YouAreNotAlone, YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre and if anything can redeem a person against the odds by showing them the light of goodness, it will probably be the [[TitleDrop All-Loving Hero]].

** [[Characters/StevenUniverseStevenQuartzUniverse Steven Quartz Universe]] himself, who apparently inherited it from his mother, [[BigGood Rose Quartz,]] [[spoiler:[[GoodAllAlong aka Pink Diamond]]]]. It is often this quality that makes the difference in the Crystal Gems' battles, as it has allowed Steven to befriend Gems, such as Lapis Lazuli or Peridot, that might otherwise have been foes. He's also been shown to empathize with the monstrous corrupted Gems that are often the MonsterOfTheWeek. He has a hard time dealing with instances when his all-loving nature was not enough to resolve a conflict, such as the final episodes of Season 3 where Steven saw his help refused or had to fight in self-defense. The sole exception being Kevin, who is so unrepentantly disrespectful towards everyone that he is the only person, Gem or human, who Steven outright ''hates''.

* [[Characters/GravityFallsMabelPines Mabel Pines]] of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' plays this trope straight, whereas her twin brother [[Characters/GravityFallsDipperPines Dipper Pines]] {{downplay|edTrope}}s it. She holds no ill will towards Pacifica even though she's a jerk to her, and tries being nice to her in return (especially shown in "The Golf War"). In general, she claims she doesn't need revenge to prove anything, she's nice and friendly to everyone and regarding her parties, everyone is invited!

* Nana from ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes.'' She's the most affectionate cat of the group, even bringing the likes of [[TheQuietOne Coco]] and [[IceQueen TT]] out of their shells. She's so affectionate that Claire wonders if she had another family previously given how much she loves being petted.

* Nurgle, the Chaos God of disease and decay from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', is an atypical ''villainous'' example of this trope. Nurgle holds a deep, paternal love for all living things... which, unfortunately for most people, includes bacteria and parasites. Nurgle loves every living thing equally and can't just kill those couple thousand bacteria that live within a sick person. That would be something-cide!

* Cassandra Cain [[Comicbook/Batgirl2000 Batgirl III]] once asked "why does everyone I love die?", to which the person she was speaking to responded: "because you love everyone, and everybody dies."

* Flycatcher, the frog prince of ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'', is universally kind and universally loved for it, and he's the only character who had no sins to absolve or remit under the Fabletown Amnesty. The All-Loving Syndrome really kicks in when [[spoiler:he receives a purity-powered suit of armor that allows him to resurrect the dead, defeating massive armies without spilling blood, and establishes the completely peaceful "Kingdom of Haven" in the middle of enemy territory]].

%%Needs more context about the "All-Loving" part.* Ice, of ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational'', is noted for her optimism and kindness, which remain steadfast even in the face of her death and resurrection.
* Christopher Rudd in ''Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}'': He's a damned soul in {{Hell}} who manages through skill and luck to become one of Hell's nobility. What do you guess he does then? He teaches demons compassion and kindness, gets them and the damned to get along, and finally leads their army to save the Silver City ''and'' conquer it in one fell swoop in the name of justice.

-->"Dick has so many connections to other characters. In many ways, even more than Superman or Batman, Nightwing is the soul, the linchpin, of ''Franchise/TheDCU''. He's well respected by everyone, known to [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica the JLA]], [[ComicBook/TeenTitans the Titans]], [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]], ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey – everyone looks to him for advice, for friendship, for [[TheAce his skills]]. He's natural leader of the DCU."

%%Needs more context about the "All-Loving" part.* [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel/Shazam]] as well. In fact, kind, sensible, utterly selfless, and cheerful Billy Batson just might be a bigger example than both of the above. Considering he's actually a young boy, it makes sense from an Anne Frank standpoint.
* Zayne Carrick from ''Franchise/StarWars Comicbook/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' is a good example of a fool who is an embryonic All-Loving Hero. Initially, a failing Jedi Padawan whose only power seems to be literal good luck (as in, he [[spoiler:spent an hour trying to catch a petty thief for the half-dozenth time, and thus arrived late to what should have been his own murder]]), over the course of the series he saves first himself; then a junk scavenger and his adopted daughter; then a bunch of captured Jedi; then several million people from [[spoiler:an orbital nuclear bombardment]]; then he tries to save one of the Jedi masters who were [[spoiler:trying to kill him]]. As one of them says:

** This is emphasized during the Comicbook/BlackestNight miniseries, where her love for all things in existence, as discussed by both [[LoveGoddess Aphrodite]] and [[Franchise/GreenLantern Star Sapphire Carol Ferris]], leads to her being recruited into the [[Characters/GLStarSapphireCorps Star Sapphire Corps]].

* ''Comicbook/XMen'':

In the context of methods of climax fulfillment, this may be referred to as a "Love Hero". May overlap with ForHappiness as character motivation.

SubTrope to IdealHero. Compare MartyrWithoutACause, TheParagon, TheHeart, IncorruptiblePurePureness, PuritySue, NiceGuy, RousseauWasRight and TheSoftHeartedHero. In ShadesOfConflict, this Trope heavily synergizes well with WhiteAndGreyMorality, thanks to the latter's principle that the characters are either good or misguided.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Sometimes {{downplayed|Trope}} DependingOnTheWriter, but WebOriginal/JennyEverywhere's multiversal perspective means that for any given enemy she encounters, [[TheMultiverse there's a universe out there]] where they're her best friend. As a result, she is often depicted as having little to no personal animosity toward her enemies, and wanting to redeem them if possible. This does not mean she will flinch at [[NecessarilyEvil doing what is necessary if that's not an option]], mind you.

* Lindsay Doe from ''Sexplanations'' (a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin YouTube channel about sex]]) is one of the nicest and most open-hearted people on the site. She even has compassion for pedophiles as long as they haven't actually hurt a kid and want to change themselves, as they can't control how they feel.

* Nurgle of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' holds a deep, paternal love for all living things. This includes bacteria and parasites. Nurgle loves every living thing equally and can't just kill those couple thousand bacteria that live within a sick person. That would be Something-cide!

*** The Krakoan era also adds another interesting angle with the revelation that Moira had spent decades working to [[TheCorruptor break him]] as Xavier may have very well been a played straight version of this trope without her influence.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor Xavier]] is a zig-zagged example. On the one hand, he's the voice of coexistence against [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]]'s voice of separation. Even after all the battles with all the villainous mutants and all the plots by the villainous humans and even [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the more numerous mundane everyday prejudice by]] {{muggles}} he still believes peaceful coexistence will happen. However, from the start he's had a consistent dark side, with its manifestation DependingOnTheWriter and AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, but he was only really played up as this following the films, which leaned into this interpretation. By the Krakoan era, the implication is that heart he's this, but like the ''Red Son'' version of Superman, he's not so good with individuals - leading to famous lines such as "Professor Xavier is a JERK!" - and that his faith in humanity is severely dented.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Connie Brooks is a kind and caring person, who frequently goes out of her way to help her friends, pupils and even perfect strangers. An example of the latter occurs in "The Burglar". Here, Connie catches a man breaking into the house and raiding the refridgerator. Instead of turning him in, Connie and Mrs. Davis share breakfast with the man and get him a job filling in for the school custodian.

* Jainism. It's an entire religion that espouses ''ahimsa'' (non-violence), which is actually also a tenet of many Indian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, but whereas others limit the principle to humans, Jains [[ExaggeratedTrope include everything, literally]]: humans, cows, cats, snakes, mosquitoes, bees, bananas, palm, ''bacteria''... Most Jains are vegetarians because they do not want to inflict violence on animals, and if it's detestable, then vegans. If ''that'' still is detestable, then they will abstain from eating root vegetables because they are life in early stages after all. Jains are also taught not to detest anyone simply because they have differing opinions regarding a subject (such as being in a different religion or world view) because every beliefs are true, just, well, in different viewpoints. However, Jains are also simultaneously taught ''not'' to be too attached to things and these include living ones, to prevent obsessive love, but instead have to do it equally; in essence, just like unconditional love (''agape'').

* This is the defining trope for UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}. The whole "love your enemies" thing is the most obvious. The times when [[GoodIsNotSoft we see Him angry]] are the ones where He's railing against those who fail to love anyone (other than themselves) and lead the people astray with their lies. Christians believe that Isaiah 53:2-11 is a prophecy of His eventual HeroicSacrifice for the sins of humanity.

In terms of TheFourLoves, All-Loving Hero is Agape, or Unconditional Love for All, personified. However, by no means is the character exempt from the [[ThickerThanWater other]] [[LoveInterests three]] [[TrueCompanions loves]].

%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Nagisa Furukawa fulfills this role, especially in the original game and the movie.

* [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerAdora Adora]] from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' is righteous, kind and willing to give second chances to anyone as long as they prove to be deserving of it and trying to be better. She strives to be a beacon of hope for the people around her and will do the right thing no matter the personal cost. The only people she doesn't even bother giving the time of day are pretty much irredeemable [[spoiler:like [[BigBad Horde Prime]] and Shadow Weaver, with the former being a genocidal warmonger who has destroyed many worlds during his reign and the latter having acted as an {{AbusiveParents}} to Catra and Adora in the Horde and manipulated them since they were children]].
** [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerEntrapta Entrapta]] also fills the trope. In spite of her love for war machines, she treats everyone well, no matter if they belong to the Horde or the Rebellion. In Season 5, when she meets Catra again - after the cat electrocuted her and sent her to die at Beast Island, Entrapta doesn't go beyond scaring Catra with her tools, but forgives her when the cat apologizes. It is her kindness that gets Hordak [[spoiler: to have a HeelFaceTurn and go against his brainwashing to save her life.]]

%%Needs more context about the "All-Loving" part.** It's best exemplified by a scene in ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'' where, despite [[YourDaysAreNumbered knowing he's going to die soon]], Superman still takes the time to [[http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv205/haven_bucket/1245822166636.jpg?t=1246328571 save the life of one suicidal teenage girl]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
** Superman is always portrayed in this fashion. He is continuously portrayed as always believing in the best of people.
