Token Good Teammates in Webcomics.

  • Archipelago: Knull Snow, the nephew of the dreaded pirate captain Adrian Snow, abducted to be a part of dear uncle's bloodthirsty crew (after the crew razed his village and killed his family). Knull is anything but bloodthirsty and would love to be somewhere else. But he's Trapped in Villainy and a Nervous Wreck because of that. In the end, he gives his uncle a Not Afraid of You Anymore speech and joins the heroes for the final battle.
  • Sawbones to the pirates in The Back o' Beyond. He's by far the nicest pirate, and the only one to be genuinely friendly to Nate right from the start.
  • Hati of Cry 'Havoc' falls in here, seeing as she tries to hold back her squad mates blood lust and general disregard for human life.
  • Darken: The main characters are mostly followers of Religions of Evil or amoral mercenaries. They then recruit Michaelus, a Lawful Good werebear who was locked up due to trouble Resisting the Beast, and who becomes increasingly worried by their conduct and their Blood Knight leader Gort. He eventually decides they need to be stopped, tries to betray them to their enemies, and gets killed by Gort.
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first arc of Darths & Droids is the only character who is a fundamentally decent person, and his player is the only one who gives any real thought to casualties.
  • Drowtales: Kel'Noz to Quain, Vaelia to Ariel.
  • In Henchgirl, Mary and Palawn in their criminal group, The Butterfly Gang. They don't mind doing heists and robbing from museums, banks and rich people. But draw the line at actively killing people and stealing from kids. However later in the series, Mary is drugged to be more evil while Palawn starts up a firm and quits the group.
  • This is such a perfect description of Cale in Looking for Group. Though over the course of Character Development the others have become slightly more Good due to his influence and Cale has become less idealistic.
  • Artie from Narbonic normally preoccupies himself with the support of hippie-ish causes (such as world peace and the election of Dennis Kucinich), all while living with a mad scientist and her henchmen. Come Skin Horse, he's become an activist for transgenic rights.
  • The Order of the Stick:
    • Each incarnation of the Linear Guild usually has at least one- which makes sense, given that Nale intentionally styles the Guild's recruits as "evil opposites" to the Order of the Stick (though not all of them are actually counterparts to Belkar, the Order's Token Evil Teammate).
      • The Guild's first incarnation has Hilgya Firehelm, who isn't overtly malicious towards the protagonists and is actually helping Nale for her own, unrelated reasons. She's definitely not good (between worshipping the Evil-aligned deity Loki and trying to kill her genuinely nice husband due to their Arranged Marriage in the past), but she's definitely a heck of a lot more nice (and a heck of a lot less evil) than the rest of the Guild's lineup.
      • The second time around, there's Yokyok, who isn't actually evil at all and is only working with the Guild for a chance to take revenge on Belkar, who killed his father. On the other hand, the fact that he's still willing to help the Guild commit murder and kidnapping to further his own plans is definitely a hit against his moral alignment.
      • After skipping over this trope for their third lineup, the Guild's Empire of Blood incarnation has Kilkil, who is only there at all because he works for Tarquin and is just doing his job. He never directly opposes the heroes at any point during his time on the team.
      • Thog's stupidity may lead those familiar with the Dumb Is Good trope to believe he could fit this trope as well, since he has a sort of childlike naivete. However, it's made clear that he has deeply-ingrained murderous tendencies that scare even team leader Nale and his amiguously-evil-outsider succubus girlfriend.
    • The Monster in the Darkness is this to Team Evil: he's a childlike, naive creature who doesn't bear anyone any malice and seems not to understand how evil Xykon really is. Though he is willing to eat people. (But not babies.) Over time, as the Monster starts to be more aware of what's going on around him, he actively (but covertly) attempts to sabotage Xykon while Obfuscating Stupidity.
  • Commodore James Norrington in the main cast of the Mega Crossover Fan Webcomic Roommates. Sure the others are trying to better themselves but still are Goblin King Jareth, Inspector Javert and Erik The Phantom of the Opera. Also King Arthur of the "Magical Men's Club" which also consists of Odin and the Erlkönig.
  • In Shortpacked!, Sidney's Axis of Something 2.0 consists of people with grudges against the Shortpacked employees. However, one "Evil Counterpart" is Leslie's Amicable Ex Leo, who was lured to the meeting because he thought it was Bible study.
  • In Sparklecare, not all of the staff members are part of the madness at Sparklecare Hospital. All of the nurses, especially Nurse Kills, seem genuinely caring. There's also Dino Soprus, Lunesta's assistant, who is clearly not on board with Lunesta poisoning Barry.
  • Sweet Home (2017): "Good" may be a stretch, but Ihyun is noticeably more moral than his teammates, willing to sacrifice his life to protect the other survivors. At least while his personality is in control - when the monster's in control, all bets are off.
  • Unsounded:
    • Elan was the only one of Captain Hetr's men not to go along with his plan. When Hetr came back to Ethelmik to raise it to the ground Elan sacrificed himself to give Emil and Elka time to escape.
    • Of the Ssaelit priests listening to Councilor Bodie's genocidal plan Duane is the only one who speaks against it on moral grounds. Some of the others speak against it because they're afraid they won't be able to contain the mystical disease or it will make them unpopular, Duane sees it as an unforgivable and dishonorable act. He was still helping uphold a fascist surveillance state, he was just not as reprehensible as his colleagues.
    • There is a single member of Ricker's squad who dislikes Ricker's raping and pillaging antics. He listened and took heed of Duane's admonishments, did not attack anyone in the shrine, and turned away when his squad mates attacked the already dying Masek. He was killed quick and near painlessly when the self destruct spell was set off.
    • Eustace seemed to be the only member of "Vampire"'s revolutionary group who was not okay with sacrificing their plat child casters to set a khert fire and allow Roger to come into Alderode without getting hit by the Etalarche Curse. It still happened but he was so pissed about it Captain Claggert thought he might be about to betray Vampire.
