Line 83:
* The only physical difference between [[The DCU]]'s Impulse and his [[Evil Twin]] Inertia is their hair; Impulse has brown hair, Inertia has blond.
* Wilhelm Ryan, the villain from ''The Amory Wars''/''Coheed and Cambria''.
* {{spoiler|Jan Arrah, Element Lad}}, the villain of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] story Legion Lost, is innocently handsome and blond. To be fair, he was blond for thirty years worth of stories ''before'' he became a villain.
* Kordax, the ancient Atlantean prince in ''[[Aquaman]]'' and the greatest villain in Atlantean history. His blond hair was actually seen as a sign of evil by the people of Atlantis, especially in the royal family, which is why Aquaman was abandoned at birth.
* One of the more notable feuds in Marvel Comics is that between the short, dark, noble [[Wolverine]] and the tall, fair, psychopathic Sabertooth.
* Neron, [[The DCU]]'s lord of [[Hell]] for a time in the late '90s and early '00s, appeared as a tall, muscular, pale-skinned man with a mane of blond hair. This was not, however, his true form; he was actually some sort of weird, tentacled, plantlike thing.
* Lucifer, as he appeared in ''[[The Sandman]]'' and [[Lucifer (Comic Bookcomics)|his self-titled series]], was also a tall, blond man. This version of the character was pretty clearly inspired by Milton's ''[[Paradise Lost]]''. And by tall, blond man, we mean that Neil Gaiman ordered the artists who drew Lucifer to make him look like [[David Bowie]].
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] and [[Knight Templar]] Lucien Draay from the [[Knights of the Old Republic]] comics definitely counts, {{spoiler|at least until his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* Not an actual example, but this trope has been [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]] whenever the fact that [[Captain America]] is pretty much the ideal of the Nazi's blond-haired-blue-eyed Aryan Ubermensch has been brought up. Incidentally, there was a period of time where the Red Skull inherited a cloned body of Cap's, pretty much keeping his appearance, blond hair and all, therefore playing this trope straight.
Line 178:
* {{spoiler|Joker}} from the ''[[Read or Die]]'' series.
* In the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series, the [[Big Bad]] of the first and second books, Darken Rahl, has shoulder length blond hair and is a [[Complete Monster]] of the highest caliber. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|For some reason, so seem to be all other "full-blooded" people of his evil empire.]]
* ''[[The Time TravelersTraveler's Wife]]'' invokes this trope twice over: while neither Ingrid nor Gomez (the blond romantic rivals to the central couple's brunet Henry and [[Heroes Want Redheads|redheaded]] Clare) are bad people, the former is [[Tsundere|needy and confrontational]] and the latter is offputtingly glib and cynical (and has a weird Communism fetish). Neither Henry or Clare view them as legitimate contenders in the [[Love Dodecahedron]] (although Henry and Ingrid dated before he met Clare).
* ''[[Discworld]]'''s Wolfgang von Uberwald, who has [[Our Werewolves Are Different|more blond hair than the rest of the examples put together.]]
* ''[[Maximum Ride]]'' uses this one. Both [[The Woobie|Jeb Batchelder]] and [[Mad Scientist|Roland ter Borcht]] are described as having light hair, and [[Designated Hero|Maximum]] [[Heroic Sociopath|Ride]] herself has blonde hair.
