Line 5:
* ''Usedbooks'' features a villain named Raidon that fits this trope [http://www.curiousv.com/usedbooks/?p=371 PERFECTLY]. He is such a nice guy, you'd have a hard time thinking of him as a villain.
* Most of the villains in ''[[Antihero for Hire]]''. All of them seem to be some combination of [[Complete Monster]] and this trope, or [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] and this trope.
* Garland from ''[[
** Which makes you wonder, is he just not very good at evil, or is he [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize that being a competent villain is typically a death sentence in an [[RPG Verse]]?
* ''[[Narbonic]]'' is ''built'' around this trope.
* Snookums from ''[http://mixedmyth.comicgenesis.com/ Mixed Myth]''.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'':
** Early on, [[Big Bad]] Xykon is [[Faux Affably Evil]], and his seemingly unfocused, borderline ditzy mannerisms might make you think he fits in this category. You'd be ''[[Complete Monster|very]], [[Not
** General Tarquin. Just listen to him describing how he managed to create those big, flaming letters to celebrate that his son has returned. All while telling said son just how much he means to him.
{{quote| '''Tarquin''': "I mean, the prefects only informed me about the escaped palace slaves around dusk.

Line 34:
* Pretty much all the main characters in ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]''. They are all ''technically'' evil monsters, but that doesn't mean they spend ''all'' their time doing evil deeds. Arachne the drow will give you sensible relationship advice...then return to her dungeon to torture her collection of captives. Lewie the lich will lend you some skeletal minions to help out around the house...then attempt to [[Take Over the World]] through mind control. Good old Mrs. Bloodhand is the nicest, most motherly orc you are ever liable to meet...but put her in a position of power and she turns ruthless and Machivellian. Put her in a battle and she turns ''deadly''.
* Richard from Looking For Group. Although, whether he falls under this or [[Faux Affably Evil]] is up to you.
* Temujin in ''[[At
* Von Gernsbach in ''[[Minion Comics (Webcomic)|Minion Comics]]'' presents himself as a WikiLeaks style campaigner for freedom of information, taking the protagonists under his wing.
* Jigsaw in [[Zodiac (Webcomic)|Zodiac]]. He's one of the villains with the more monstruous appearance, but also very polite and suave, and he praises his foes while fighting them.
