* Many of the Fire Nation in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', usually Zuko, Azula, Zhao, and Ozai. Sure, Zuko is an [[Anti-Villain]] and Azula gets a [[Freudian Excuse|sympathetic]] portrayal towards the end, but that doesn't excuse their evil actions. Zhao and Ozai have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, with the latter being a flat-out dyed-in-the-wool [[Complete Monster]], but [[Evil Is Sexy|they ARE good-looking...]]

** Some might consider Mai and Ty Lee this, as they are (at least in Ty Lee's case) likable [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]].

** Recurring character and [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] Jet had a lot of fans rationalising his act of [[Kick the Dog|flooding a village that was filled with civilians to kill a few Fire Nation soldiers]] (to the point where only a handful seem to remember that it was an ''Earth Kingdom'' village, not a Fire Nation one), which is missing the point.
