Light Is Not Good/Web Comics


 * MAG ISA -- Lucia says she is the light. But is she really good? Just read the comic and see for yourself.
 * As well as being a huge example of Lawful Stupid, the paladin Miko Miyazaki from Order of the Stick is an example of this Trope. The gods of that continent might not actually be much better, but to their credit, they did.
 * In the print-only book Start of Darkness, according to Redcloak,
 * The Ivory Veil of Antiheroes is an organization of paladins and allies that the paladins don't lose their paladin powers by associating with assembled by a trapped evil demigod and used as his personal army.
 * Dominic Deegans Lord Siegfried "Siggy" von Callan falls neatly into this category. A Royal Knight of the comic's kingdom, and one of the most masculine (and arguably, prettiest) characters in the comic, Siggy also happens to be temperamental, violent, and
 * This is also something of An Aesop in the "Storm Of Souls" Story Arc, which goes out of its way to state that Light, Law, Chaos, and Darkness can all be negative forces if one gains too much of an advantage. The Hero is, therefore, the Champion of Balance. He still fights the Avatar of Chaos and Darkness because he was the one messing things up at that point, but his predecessor fought against abuses of Light and Law in flashbacks.
 * In fact, Raf Malkish, the previous Champion of Light and Law, was willing to kill the family members of his followers to create a Acibek, a Golem of Law. The first thing Acibek did when he was activated? Expose Raf's actions in disgust.
 * In the recent Orc Lands saga, Dominic explains that in Orc religion, Ice represents good and Fire evil. When his companion pointed out that it was an odd thing to base religion on, Dominic pointed out that orcs felt the same way about humans using Light and Dark. What make Light good and Dark evil?
 * While the Necromancers of the Shintula clan, who channel the black Power of Death, can be quite violent and brutal and are not known for kindness, they are mostly desperate and try to save the land. The Bikta, who channel the white Power of Life, are however Knights Templar of the worst kind.
 * In this strip of Fans,  Tim spells out this trope for Ally.
 * The Light Warriors of Eight Bit Theater who despite being (or more accurately passing off as) the Chosen Ones of destiny are a bunch of Villain Protagonists who commit a bunch of atrocities For the Evulz and/or out of sheer incompetence. In fact, they've been straight up stated to be the most evil beings of the world, with Fighter being the exception.
 * Blanc from Adventurers! had white hair, wore all white, and shot blasts of white energy.
 * The main character Danny of Chess Piece uses Holy and is a White-Haired Pretty Boy (but didn't start out that way), but is a sadistic, amoral Evil Prince who may or may not have killed his great-grandfather. Ironically, in spite of this, (and his Take Over the World scheme) a short time when he ruled the country while his dad was gone saw him to be a fair ruler. Go figure.
 * That's because it's purposely kept ambiguous on what he plans to do with the world once he takes over it.
 * You know how Dr. McNinja recently got a new motorcycle?
 * Oh, and it was recently revealed that
 * Recently brought to a head when King Radical reveals that
 * More recently revealed is that
 * Shadowgirls's main villain, Mother Hydra. In human host she/it has light-based powers, as a Foil to protagonist's shadow-based. It doesn't help that
 * Kore from Goblins is a paladin - how he remains a paladin is yet to be revealed - who kills supposedly Always Chaotic Evil races, as well as anyone who associates with them, voluntarily or not. Knight Templar does not even begin to cut it. His magical aura looks like angel wings made of tortured souls.
 * Specifically, its implied to be the souls he killed, chained to his back.
 * In Blip, you have several examples. Lucifer and the chibi Angels, the classics. But then you have these guys, who are different from our Harmless Villain chibi angels, and have the whole "For the greater good" crap going on.
 * Two of Homestuck's characters are Heroes of Light, and they both play with this trope a little. Rose, as the Seer of Light, touches it by proxy, preferring to use dark-based magic (thus playing into Dark Is Not Evil), while Vriska, the Thief of Light, is..."ambiguous".
 * "Light" in the Homestuck mythos is actually the Aspect of Fortune, not goodness or literal light, which partially explains this.
 * Eridan is the "Prince of Hope", yet has genocidal ambitions. He gets a white wand that lets him shoot blasts of light, . Later it's revealed that the Prince class is.
 * In fact, one of the posters on the MSPA forum has noticed that most "threats [to the trolls] feature or involve lights or brightness" "All pretty grim and chilling for a nocturnal race--very well-constructed".
 * Feferi is the Witch of Life, the life aspect generally bringing healing powers. Assuming her ancestor, the Imperial Condesce, has the same attribute (she was able to extend another troll's life-span, after all,) then she definitely qualifies for this.
 * Angelo, from Our Little Adventure. He is a high level cleric who wears a non-evil (though a bit whimsical) outfit, complete with a Holy Halo. What he actually is, is an evil and mentally unstable villain with a legion of fanatical followers.
 * In Demon Eater, the path to The wasteland is a big hole of light in the pitch-black demon world.
 * in Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi Bell has long, white hair and her costume is also white but she's the Evil Counterpart to the title characters, especially Blossom.
 * In Off White, the white spirit snow leopard is very...malevolently territorial at the very least.
