These examples doesn\'t seem to fit the trope as written:

This example is \'\'very\'\' heavy on the vices and destructive nature of the character, with no description of her alleged \"good\" qualities other than a single mention of unspecified \"heroics\". If anyone familiar with the character thinks it should be re-added, please rewrite it to show how she\'s ultimately heroic and/or good and use proper indentation.
* Lina Inverse of \'\'LightNovel/{{Slayers}}\'\' invariably shakes down those she saves with her heroics, and even tries to cheat allies out of their property.
** She\'s a glutton and tends to leave a wake of destruction in her path, which includes blowing up the bad guy as often as she can manage.
*** Her penchant for destruction eventually gets her wanted by the law, charged with simply: \"Being Lina Inverse\". Her friends, acting as her lawyers, are hard-pressed to think of any effective defense for such a heinous crime.
** In fact, even before this happens, Lina can\'t go anywhere without hearing about rumors and stories told about her that make her out to be some kind of horrible monster. This is a state of affairs that\'s been going on since before the actual animated series, as proven by the Slayers Specials (the six {{OAV}}s and the five [[NonSerialMovie movies]]). The sixth OAV, Mirror, Mirror, actually has a sequence highlighting Lina\'s status as a Miss Vice Girl when the BigBad looks at the simpering, docile, sweet-natured shadow-clone and asks in horror just what sort of person Lina Inverse herself is.

This example sounds like WellIntentionedExtremist rather than MrViceGuy (plus violating ExamplesAreNotArguable):
* Even more arguably would be [[GreenLantern Atrocitus]], whose connection to wrath is easily greater than Hulk on his most angry day. While he technically starts off as an antagonist, and is not particularly inclined to go out of his way to help little old ladies cross the street, he sees his motives and actions as being genuinely for the greater good.
