Line 32:
== Comic Books ==
* The [[Elseworlds]] miniseries ''JSA: The Liberty Files'', featuring [[Batman]] and the [[Justice Society of America]], featured the Joker as an arms dealer selling weapons to the Nazis.
* In ''[[Iron Man (Comic Book)|Iron Man]]'', Tony Stark was originally an arms dealer, but eventually decided to downplay his company's role in that market. After that, Justin Hammer and Obidiah Stane appeared as unambiguously villainous versions.
 
 
Line 159:
* Minor ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003]]'' recurring character Ruffington is both the "corporate lobbyist" and "gangland gun runner", being a legitimate government contractor, and selling modified alien weaponry to street gangs such as the Purple Dragons.
* Jack Hench and Hench Co. in ''[[Kim Possible]]'' are a relatively kid-friendly depiction of this trope. Hench fits the "corporate lobbyist" type and treats the sale of hired muscle and gadgets to supervillains as "just business".
* Destro in nearly all incarnations of ''[[G.I. Joe (Franchise)|G.I. Joe]]''.
