Line 5:
** The titular Ben "10" Tennyson himself qualifies; a kind-hearted, outgoing guy (though a bit egocentric and foolish at times), but if you push him too far ([[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|like say, put his girlfriend's life at risk just to spite him]]), kiss your ass goodbye because [[Let's Get Dangerous|he'll kick it into oblivion]].
* The primal example: [[Mickey Mouse]], though the classic nice guy and often rather hapless in gag situations, is nevertheless a force to be reckoned with when pushed too far. Even today in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' he's a dynamic fighter in dramatic situations. Originally, the entire point was that you didn't expect to see a lovable guy like Mickey in a battle royale, so the sight on its own was funny.
** In the older cartoons, before he gets significantly watered down to [[The Generic Guy]] of the group, he's just as aggressive as [[Donald Duck]] when pushed to the limit - ultimately in Symphony Hour, [http://api.ning.com/files/S9aUJ5ULhEVgRYUxxFzAm52ACeCOCgT0n1H2TrgCHEHiLISavf7FkrHsBgrttJpa/3412103194_0de4cd207f_o.jpg?width=737&height=552 he pulls a pistol(!)]{{Dead link}} on Donald when the duck tries to skip out on a concert [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]. Notably this is the last time until House of Mouse we see this side of the mouse.
** How about in ''[[Fantasia]]'', where the innocent Sorcerer's Apprentice brings his broom to life, finds that it is doing its job [[Gone Horribly Right|a little too well]], and attempts to rectify the situation... by brutally chopping it to smithereens [[An Axe to Grind|with an axe]]. [[Gory Discretion Shot|We only see their shadows on the wall...]]
* Mitsuki from ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'' is generally good-natured and level-headed to the point of ridiculousness, given what goes on around her every episode. But she can be shockingly devious when the situation warrants it, and she knows her castmates frighteningly well. So far, only Lily and Gonard have been unfortunate enough to provoke her ire. Unusually for this trope, she got her revenge without resorting to violence... in one episode, Lily's computerized vanity put a pretty big bull's-eye on her head, and in another, Gonard's [[Annoying Patient|faked-injury ploy]] was easily turned against him.
