The good guys don't always have to be warm and cuddly, or even all that attractive for that matter. Sometimes, they're even downright ''[[Nightmare Fuel|scary]]''. |

** Some interpretations of Batman's membership in the [[Justice League]] are portrayed this way. Everyone has their seat at the table, and Batman's off in a corner being quiet (if you notice him at all). |

Everyone has their seat at the table, and Batman's off in a corner being quiet (if you notice him at all). This crosses pretty well with his status as [[Crazy Prepared]]. The rest of the League is creeped out that this guys has files on how to kill/maim/disable the rest of them. That, and being creepy is Batman's schtick. |

* In DC Comics, we have [[The Creeper]], adequately enough. The guy is so batshit loco that even ''[[The Joker]]'' considers him a lunatic! |

* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4657412/1/Operation_There_Is_No_Operation Operation: There Is No Operation], a ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' fanfic, V8 is this to the rest of the KND, being the local [[Exalted Torturer]] who works with them. |

* ''[[Nobody Dies]]'': Rei and her sisters. Everyone in the story reacts like they're the scariest things around (even the Angels are considered less threatening), what with the [[Stealth Hi Bye]], the kidnapping people through air vents, and general strangeness. Even the fans refer to this version of Rei as Terrifying!Rei. However, they're all good and kind at heart (even if they have possibly the most [[Crazy Awesome|bizarre ways of showing it]]), and would do anything to protect those they care for. |

* Most of the characters of ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''. The people of [[Halloweentown]] aren't evil (except for Oogie Boogie, who's ostracized by the rest of the townsfolk), but they're scary both by nature and because it's their job. They do nearly ruin Christmas, but out of lack of understanding rather than malice, and [[The Hero|Jack]] eventually has a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment and sets things right. |

* ''[[Return to Oz]]'' was a movie that seemed to push the limits of how creepy a movie with the [[Disney]] name could be, and both [[Robot Buddy| Tick-Tock]] and [[Scary Scarecrows| Jack Pumpkinhead]] are good guys who are just as creepy as the bad guys. |

* Onua from the [[Bionicle]] series, at least in his first incarnation. He's a hunchback, his body is completely black, he lives underground, he has gigantic bladed claws for hands, and like all other Toa he wears a mask that completely obscures his face. And through the series the poor guy is one of the most helpful and useful characters. Seriously, though, in some of the promotional art he looks like a monster that's about to attack Tahu. |
