Line 25:
* ''[[Deadpool]]'' (pictured above) is this for a ''lot'' of characters in the ''[[Marvel Universe]]''.

* Goofus, of the "Goofus & Gallant" cartoons so emblematic of the magazine they appeared in, ''[[Highlights for Children]]''. To be fair his actions are often fairly inoffensive and only marginally objectionable, and existsare presented solely to make Gallant's more prissy behavior seem that much more commendable by contrast.
