Line 33:
* A flashback story revealed that Hiruma from ''[[Eyeshield 21 (Manga)|Eyeshield 21]]'' has hair that is naturally black, but he dyes it specifically as part of his strategy to make himself look more intimidating. It works. Oh, and he's evil.
* Although he's [[Comedic Sociopath|amusingly psychotic]] to the point where it's hard not to like him to an extent, [[Psycho for Hire|Ladd Russo]] from ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]'' would most definitely fall under this trope, if not for undecidedly brown tan AND dark blond hair {{spoiler|which turns gray for artisticness in Alcatra}}. I mean, come on. {{spoiler|He shoots a small child's head off and constantly threatens to kill his girlfriend, among other things.}}
* Played with in ''[[The Prince of Tennis (Manga)|The Prince of Tennis]]''. Kevin Smith is an angry, bitchy, aggressive American boy who is an absolute [[Jerkass]] for quite a while...{{spoiler|and comes from a broken family with a negligent father, also blond. When he's defeated and comes to terms with himself, he shows a sweeter side, though not losing his [[Hot -Blooded|strong temper]] completely.}}
* [[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]] himself averts this, as he's the hero, but [[Mad Artist|Deidara]] of the Atatsuki does not. However, Naruto is the host of the Nine Tailed demon fox which is one of the most evil and ill tempered of all of the tailed beasts. His father, 4th Hokage Minato Namikaze, also a blonde male, sealed this beast inside of his newborn son, Naruto. Although this action was necessary and will benefit his home village in the long term, taking an "ends justify the means" approach does not exactly dispel the stereotype.
* ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' has Prince Clovis and {{spoiler|V.V.}}. The former is an insecure wreck who commits mass slaughter to cover his screw ups, the latter is just plain ''[[Yandere|insane]]''. And don't forget that [[The Emperor|Charles di Britannia]] had dark blond hair (comparable to Nunnally's) before age turned his hair white.
Line 171:
** Draco and Lucius Malfoy.
** Gellert Grindelwald.
** Also, Barty Crouch Jr. from ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire|Goblet of Fire]]''.
** Some of the minor Death Eater characters, such as Yaxley, are also blonde.
** Gilderoy Lockhart. He's not a Death Eater, but he's definitely a jerk and a fraud. At the end of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets|Chamber of Secrets]]'', he tried to obliviate two twelve-year-olds and planned to leave an eleven-year-old to die, intending to spin a good story about it that will paint him as the hero and the three students as unfortunate collateral damage.
Line 208:
* ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'' plays this trope so often that it's ridiculous. Name a blond guy on the show. At one point or another, he has been a [[The Bully|bully]], a [[Jerkass|jerkass]], a [[All Gays Are Promiscuous|manwhore]], a [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|bad boy]], or all of the above. Peter, the blondest of them all, was probably the closest thing to [[Chaotic Evil]] on the show. His hair noticeably darkened once he made his [[Heel Face Turn]]...
* Sawyer from ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'', at first. Though not evil, he was certainly a [[Jerkass]] at first, especially compared to Jack and Sayid.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'':
** {{spoiler|The Master}}, in the Christmas 2009 finale, has a new-and-improved blond look and a whole new load of crazy to dump on the Doctor.
** Mark Gatiss wears a blond wig to play Prof. Lazarus.
Line 242:
* [[Anti-Hero|Anogia]] from ''[[Luminous Arc 3]]'' played this really straight, until it is revealed that all he went through is to give Miria her eyes back.
* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', Arthas Menethil, a prince who would later kill his father and become the villain for the third expansion pack ''Wrath Of The Lich King'', is blond (though in undeath, his hair turns [[Evil Albino|white]]). In addition, Prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider is also blond.
* [[Fatal Fury|Geese Howard]], the first [[SNK Boss]]. There's also [[The King of Fighters (Video Game)|Rugal Bernstein]], the successor to the mantle. Interestingly enough, Geese is killed by a blond guy, Terry Bogard, and his son Rock is blond (with [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] to boot). The [[Big Bad]] of ''Mark Of The Wolves'', [[Meaningful Name|Kain R. Heinlein]], also has red eyes and long blond hair. It's not a coincidence or anything; Kain is {{spoiler|Rock's [[Evil Uncle]] and Geese's brother-in law. Poor Rock. He knew Kain was half-evil, but then he found out the ''other'' half was evil, too...)}}
* Liquid Snake from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. Especially bad since Solid Snake, to whom Liquid is [[Cloning Blues|supposedly genetically identical]], has brown hair.
* The [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (and the remake, ''Tomb Raider: Anniversary''), ''Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness'', and ''Tomb Raider: Legends'' have all been blonds or platinum-blonds.
